The silence after the corner / The car that still carries Senna´s soul

I was born in 1986.

Old enough to remember Sunday mornings when Brazil stopped breathing for a few laps.

When my parents would lower their voices as if we were inside a church, and Ayrton Senna’s yellow helmet appeared on screen.

That sound the Honda V12 was part of my childhood soundtrack.

And now, decades later, that same car, the McLaren MP4/6, is coming back to life not on the track, but under the bright lights of an RM Sotheby’s auction in Monaco.

Seeing it again feels like opening a time capsule full of pride and pain.

They say it could sell for 12 to 20 million dollars, but I don’t think you can price what this car carries.

It holds the mornings when Brazil woke up early, the flags waved from apartment balconies, and the pride that somehow survived every disappointment.

When Senna raced, we didn’t just watch Formula 1, we watched a Brazilian teaching the world that faith and speed could coexist.

He didn’t need words to inspire; one lap was enough.

But no matter who buys it, the truth is , this car will always belong to Brazil.

to who saw Senna´s eyes through the visor and felt that unexplainable calm before chaos.
