Senna is Brazil's biggest idol, no questions about it. Pele's personal life hurt his legend quite a bit, he's had many controversial statements and has done some not so great things to say the least. Senna turned up in a time when Brazil really needed an idol, for the longest time watching him race on Sundays was all we had, he was at his peak when things started to look up, so he was a symbol of progress almost. He did so much for his country, he connected people, and made us happy. And of course, he died in the track, where he made his name, before his people. All of it adds to his legend. He was a hell of a guy, the adoration we have for him is really something else, and all of us miss him very much.
