"I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's"
About this Quote
The next move is where the quote quietly shifts from philosophy to discipline: “Each one has to improve himself.” Senna frames performance as a private, almost moral project. Not talent versus talent, but self versus self. It’s a subtle rejection of excuses and externalities - weather, car, luck - and also a glimpse of the isolating mental loop elite drivers live in: constant calibration of fear, focus, and technique.
Then comes the line that lands like a clean overtake: “Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other’s.” It’s bragging, but with a specific, believable shape. He doesn’t claim to be invincible; he claims his edge is incremental, measured in “a little bit.” That modest phrasing makes the arrogance credible. In the context of a sport that routinely punished miscalculation with injury or death - and with Senna’s own fatal crash looming in the cultural memory - the quote reads as both confidence and prophecy: greatness as a willingness to drive past the point where everyone else lifts.
