unemotional? here he is getting out of his car to help Comas: Ayrton Senna helps Eric Comas 1992 - YouTube

not to mention the quietly donated $400 million of his own money to help starving children in brazil: "As his profile rose, Senna expressed concern over the widespread poverty in Brazil. After his death it was discovered that he had quietly donated an extremely large portion of his personal fortune (estimated at around $400 million) to help poor children. Shortly before his death, he created the framework for an organisation dedicated to Brazilian children, which later became Instituto Ayrton Senna."

i kinda dig the ruthlessness of his driving. people seem to suggest he didn't get aggressive directly, but would instead put drivers in a situation where they'd have to decide to let him into the gap or risk a crash because of his position next to them on the inside.

definitely want to check out the bio pic. watched the top gear segment dedicated to him and it was pretty amazing.
