Driving Senna's first Formula 1 car
For any Brazilian racing driver, nothing compares to Ayrton Senna. So what was it like to drive his very first Formula 1 car, the Williams FW08C? FELIPE MASSA explains all following his Autosport International visit
Having a show like this for the fans is really nice. Actually, when I first landed in the UK I saw everything was white with snow and I wasn't sure we would even be able to drive. In Brazil the weather is sometimes nice enough to go to the beach at this time of year, so it was quite a shock... I also didn't know the style of this event, so had no idea we would be driving indoors!
The event looks really good - so many different cars, different categories, and different drivers. I think it's really nice for the people to be able to mix with all these examples from different forms of racing.
