Mr. Speaker, the auto racing fraternity was saddened by the death of Ayrton Senna in a racing accident Sunday during the Grand Prix at Imola. Senna, three time world champion and a hero in his home country of Brazil, died doing what he did best. He was the acknowledged master of his craft and surely he seemed immortal.
His death is very similar to the untimely end of Canada's equally talented driver, Gilles Villeneuve.
To Ayrton Senna's family, his country and to all his close friends I extend my sympathy and my support in this sorrowful time.
