THE SENNA CASE (SENNA TRIAL) Hardcover – August 13, 2025

Ayrton Senna Da Silva was not just a great racing driver - perhaps the greatest of all time — but a modern legend; an ideal figure, a symbol of hope for a troubled country in a ruthless world. Serious, polite, careful in both manner and speech, he had that nice guy thing that made him instantly likeable.Once behind the wheel, however, he transformed into a phenomenon who captivated everyone. With three world championships and sixty-five pole positions to his name, nothing seemed able to stop him… yet he did not know that death was waiting for him that day. A death that appeared inexplicable, unexpected, sudden—one that struck while he was driving the best single-seater of that era. Decades after his passing, the myth has only solidified and remains undiminished. Senna, Senna, Senna — social media is filled with his name, and countless videos showcase his most iconic moments. Rather than focusing on victories, this book delves into the many hearings of the trial that followed his death — a legal case that captivated public attention due to the many lingering mysteries. It reports the judicial proceedings, turning a complex legal-technical event into a compelling narrative. It covers the first trial, held between 1996 and 1999 — the year this text was originally published in Italy as a book. This new edition, updated, includes an appendix covering the subsequent appeals and Supreme Court rulings.Copied, quoted, hidden, this book is finally available in English to tell the real story of a journalist who's been there to investigate and understand.
