IT FITS SO GOOD

That picture of Ayrton looking at the horizon with his shades is so mesmerising. He's so in element~ I always got the vibe that Gerhard and him went on a private honeymoon, and Geri took that picture~

This is from Toriyama's Battleman F1 GP manga~

Frogs and cheese incident lore:

Australia - 1990

involved: A.Senna & G.Berger

This takes place during a holiday stay in Australia with Senna, Berger, McLaren boss Ron Dennis and then-wife Lisa.

One evening when Berger went on a run there was this golf course with some “big things jumping around” (frogs/toads) so he decided to prepare a nice friendly surprise for his good friend Senna.

He went to the concierge and gave him 100$ and told the concierge to “bring him some”.

The concierge then proceeded to give Berger a full bag of about 50 frogs (or toads god knows what it was) so Berger asked Lisa Dennis to help him with this little project.

When they had dinner Berger picked up Ayrton’s room key and together with Lisa went to his room and put those bloody frogs everywhere.

The next morning furious Senna confronted Berger about the situation to which Berger replied “Where did you find the snake?”

To this situation Senna responded with buying the most disgusting and strong smelling cheese and stuck it into Berger’s AC unit and turned it on full blast.

The briefcase incident lore:

Monza - 1991

involved: A.Senna & G.Berger

When Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger were flying in a helicopter to the Italian GrandPrix, Ayrton had a briefcase with him.

He claimed that the briefcase is indestructible because it’s made out of carbon fibre so Berger decided to test that theory.

When they were flying above the Monza track he literally threw out the briefcase (it had McLaren contract inside) out of the helicopter and watched it fall from the height of about 150m and hit the ground.

Ayrton had no idea that that happened because he was sitting in the front of the helicopter with the pilot and with a headset on (Mr. Important).

But after they landed a marshall came running towards them with Ayrton’s briefcase in hands.

At that moment Senna turned toward Berger and said “You didn’t do it”

Even the template resembles their face, somehow.

Might as well post it on tumblr.

On Canal +, Jean Alesi revealed that at the time he had a French bulldog.

And when he took him to the paddock, his dog slept on Gerhard Berger's suit.

Gerhard & Ayrton: Whenever he comes to Imola, he visits the Senna memorial.

It stands for special moments in motorsport history, shining winners, but also great tragedies. On May 1st 1994, Ayrton Senna lost his life in the Tamburello curve. Gerhard Berger remembers it as if "the sun had fallen from the sky." "Everyone knows what kind of position they get in our industry. It's very tragic."

Gerhard Berger and Ayrton Senna were opponents on the track but on the same line. "We want the same thing, same age, same generation. We knew each other from Formula 3, and then we had to sort it out in motorsport. We have others, the young ones who have come in, and he also has to hold his own. There, especially as it has made life difficult. But we also spent time together as ski tourists. "

Whenever the DTM boss comes to Imola, he visits the Senna memorial. This weekend, he even brought a photo in memory of his friend.

"When this stands, sometimes one just thinks, well, who would be really cool to see what would rise, but what he does and what would have also gone on in videos. "

Also in Gerhard Berger's life, a key point. "I think even more lives were lost at this place a few years earlier in the severe fires. " Mr. Berger meets track workers, including people who helped him back then. He says thank you because motorsport has become safer after Senna's death. This strip of asphalt has written history and changed the sport in many ways. But Gerhard Berger's opinion about his friend hasn't changed. "He was then and still is, in my opinion, the best driver of all time. " And here he died at the age of only 34 years.

GERHARD BERGER and AYRTON SENNA, 1990

AYRTON SENNA talking to future teammate GERHARD BERGER at the 1987 ITALIAN GRAND PRIX

So I just realised that Bersenna’s first meeting was actually at Silverstone.😱

It was mentioned in another report that Berger should have bought one of Bennetts's car to race.

I don't know why every time Ayrton shows his aggressiveness,Gerhard still thinks he's funny.

Gerhard Berger referred to the three years he spent as a teammate of Ayrton Senna as 'James Bond Years'，he also described Ayrton as 'the tragic hero 'in this 'film'.

Before the 1994 season,Ayrton was invited by his father's friend Ivo to go fishing at his fish farm. The only time Ayrton mentioned F1 that whole day was when he asked if he could bring Gerhard Berger here next time.
