"There is no margin for error, any error would result in an accident." "But for now, I'm satisfied." "I was travelling a lot, as a Formula One journalist when Ayrton began to be noticed driving a Toleman." "VOICE OF REGINALDO LEME GLOBO TV COMMENTATOR" "Toleman was not a winning team."

"It is something unique." "It was raining really hard." "There was no competition, really." "He would have won that race if it was run 100 times." "It was an important race for Brazil for many reasons, including the fact that on that day, the first elected Brazilian President, Tancredo Neves, died." "It was a very important political moment for Brazil, because he was the first elected president after the end of the dictatorship." "He was ill for a long time and died." "There was a risk that Brazil would suffer another blow or something like that, which nobody wanted."

"Now I am close to him and I'm so nervous..." "At that time the strongest teams were Williams and McLaren." "McLaren was," "I would say, a constructor which had always reflected the same values as Ayrton." "In that sense Ayrton and Ron Dennis had much in common." "They were both perfectionists..." "Let's put it like this." "Both have the idea that nothing will go wrong if something is well planned and executed and have always fought by the same ideals." "Ron comes from a background of hard work." "He has struggled to get where he is now and has been successful in life." "They are both very close."

"Before Senna arrived at McLaren" "Alain Prost was considered the destroyer of teammates." "I remember Jo Ramirez said to me:" ""Reginald, I am very concerned" ""What will happen with Ayrton at McLaren." ""I know he has talent, but Prost is a fighter," ""He creates an atmosphere of war" ""Which helps him to destroy his opponents," ""As he did with Keke Rosberg."" "Using the word "destroy" in the technical sense." "Destroyed on the track, beating his opponent mentally." "I said to Jo Ramirez:" ""Jo, with Senna it will be different." ""Because he has more talent than the other drivers" ""Prost will look to divide the team."" "And that's what happened." "Alain Prost was scared."
