Autosport Senna Tribute special

[The Hypno-Toad]

Couldn't see another thread on this.

Just to say, if you are an F1/Senna fan and you haven't bought this yet, go and get one NOW! Yes its a shameless cash in on the movie but it has loads of pictures that I haven't seen before and some really good articles taken from the time and from the present. IMHO its better than some of the far more pricey books on him.

A sound investment at £5.99.

If you can get your bosses to make the cheque payable to The Hypno-Toad, Dunsaabin, The Lilypad, near the A3, Surrey that'll be nice, Mr Garlick. Cash would be fine too...

agreed- not an autosport fan any more but this is excellent- surprised at some new stuff- in particular the views of all the other drivers at Imola that day- the piece from Johnny Herbert about Pedro Lamy's crash at silverstone was mindblowing- on fire inside the spectator tunnel ffs

It really is superb, especially for £6. Brilliant articles, brilliant information, brilliant photographs.

Fantastic and a must have for any F1/Senna enthusiast.

[Mr Senna]

I agree, it's a great read.

The Schumacher bit (giving his view of the crash) shows he has a heart.

Thanks for the headsup, I've seen it advertised on here but I'm always wary of these "bookazines", definatly get a hold of this one now though.

Does anyone know if this is still floating about in shops? Had a look at news agents near my work and couldn't find any copies. Failing that, anywhere I can find it online (not looking for the Digital version though).

Cheers

I've only seen it in WHSmiths.

Not so, I'll never forget his podium celebrations, quite distastefull IMO.

Cheers for that! Had a look yesterday in WHSmiths without any luck.

Funny how when I did a google where to buy it online I didn't get that link. Ordered it now so thanks!

Brought this the other day.

A cracking read.

Loved the Autosport front cover spreads. Gave me nice warm feeling inside as I used to spend my pocket money to look at the Marlboro livery and reading the odd swear word in print which was brilliant for a ten year old!

Managed to pick up a copy this afternoon in WH Smiths in Windsor. They had a few copies left, but note, they are on the top shelf, so easy to miss.

On a side-note, I noticed there's some display ads running on PH, promoting it, linking to here:

But do note that the cover price is £5.99.

Pretty cool stuff.

As a complete aside I never realised Berger span his car because he hit the fire extinguisher switch thinking it was a switch for something else.

What did he do on the podium, I just watched a video on youtube and couldn't see anything bad, a few smiles but no celebrations.

[FeelingLucky]

He was grinning like a cheshire cat,celebrating in fact, less that two hours after one of the sports greats lost his life. The second death at that track in one weekend.

Did they know that Ayrton had died at that time though?

Edit - To add that I know they were aware that Ratzenberger had died

[FeelingLucky]

It wasn't public yet, but they all knew.
