Ayrton turned up, made himself
comfortable in the cockpit...
remembered all the instructions
about what everything was for.
At the time he was only halfway
through his first Formula-3 season.
triple the power of his usual mount.
He did an out-and-straight-back-in
lap to check over the car mechanically.
Then he just went off a second quicker
than the car'd ever been around there.
And then said:
I think I got enough.He got out of the car and went home.
We were quite astonished.
On that particular day, it was that his
brain was in control of everything else.
He was ahead of the game,
He was born for that.
We weren't ready
to put him in the team in '84...
because of contractual obligations
to other drivers.
And then he went off to Lotus
and then to McLaren.
So it was quite a long while before we
were able to offer him a seat in '94.
He went to Toleman, it was fantastic
to see another Brazilian driving.
By instinct I was always
more of a fan of Ayrton...
than I was of any other
Brazilian Formula-1 driver.
I never saw Emerson,
but I had the chance to see Nelson.
With Ayrton it was different. I felt
like he was driving tremendously...
and that he was going to be a champ.
I remember we had a discussion about
top drivers like Piquet or whatever.
And I said to Ron Dennis
and the other people:
Take the best young guy to get a very
strong team and that was Ayrton.
They all said:
Why do you want to have Ayrton?
I said:
Why not?Having a teammate like Ayrton was
very different from the old team I had.
Also for Formula 1
it was really exceptional...
to have two drivers
of this kind of caliber.
When Ayrton came into F-1,
Prost was the top, number one.
And he was the one he wanted
to catch. He wanted to beat him.
When he started testing
and racing with us...
he wasn't interested in anyone else
in the grid, only Alain.
What was his time? What rear wing
has he got? What springs has he got?
He just wanted to know what Alain
was doing. He wanted to beat him.
He was a man like no other man
I had ever met before.
He was almost a mystic.
He was very, very, very intense.
He was a charismatic personality.
He could be absolutely charming,
but there was another side to him.
He was absolutely ruthless
when he was in the cockpit.
And he was an intensely religious,
God-fearing man.
And he actually believed
that he had a God-given right to win.
The main thing is to be yourself
and not allow people to disturb you.
To be different, because they want
you to be. You gotta be yourself.
Many times it's through a mistake
due to your personality or character...
