the documentary on Senna’s life released a few years ago is incredible and highly recommended...

I can believe the “wall moved” story. Reminds me of two others.

Raymond Berry was coaching some wide receivers on out patterns, let me show you. Ran the route and said the hash marks are wrong. They were.

Bill Bradley was shooting baskets, said the hoop was at the wrong height. It was.

He was a legendary driver alright, but also a legendary jerk.

My wife works at a private race track in the area. Last year she called me one day to ask about some cars that were brought in on McLaren trucks, and some people who arrived in a helicopter. They weren't allowed to take pictures, so she described the cars to me.

There were what sounded like a handful of McLaren road cars, but the standout car was Senna's 1993 Monaco winning car.

The people in the helicopter, I later learned, were Zak Brown - CEO McLaren Racing, Gil deFerran, and Mario Andretti.

She took Andretti's lunch order at the little counter service café. Said he was very nice.
