Franco frankntoto He paid a tribute to him on Thursday Ayrton Senna On the 31st anniversary of the tragic death of the Brazilian pilot, three times world champion, with a sense message on their social networks.
“Always in our heart”wrote the current Alpine reserve pilot in a story of his official Instagram account, accompanied an image of Senna and the word “ETERNAL”.
Senna died on May 1, 1994 after a violent accident in the traditional Icola circuit during the San Marino Grand Prix. His car, a Williams, hit the wall of the Tamburello curve more than 300 kilometers per hour. He died in the spot, according to the autopsy, as a result of the impact caused by detachment of a part of his car.
It was a before and after in Formula 1. On the one hand, Senna was immediately transformed into a legend. On the other, security measures began to maximize to prevent tragedies from being current currency in the category. In fact, since then we had to regret the death of French Jules Bianchi, who died on October 5, 2014 at the Japan Grand Prix, after a brutal accident with his Marussia.
It is not the first time that Colapinto manifests his devotion to Senna. Last year, when he was a headquarters of Williams, he spoke of him in the previous Grand Prix of Brazil and defined it as “A great inspiration.”
“It was my idol and my hero since he was very small,” said the Pilarense while highlighting the ability of the Paulista idol to “fight for her career since she reached formula 1” being South American and having much less opportunities than European pilots.
Colapinto is at this time in Estone, England, in the Alpine central barracks, fulfilling his work as a tester of the French team and helping with the tuning of the cars of Pierre Gasly and Jack Doohan, who are in Miami waiting for the beginning of the action in the Miami Grand Prix of Formula 1.
It will be perhaps the last weekend in which Colapinto does that work, since the rumors and indiscretions already place it in the armchair that Doohan currently occupies from starting, precisely, of the date that will be played in Isola, in the now called Grand Prix of Emilia Romagna.
