As part of a 45-year career, which included 28 years as a staff photographer at 3 Canadian newspapers, I spent 16 years at the Montreal Gazette. It was during this time I had the pleasure of covering a number of Formula 1 races in Montreal, in Phoenix Arizona and Imola at the San Marino Grand Prix in 1995.
This limited edition photograph of Ayrton Senna was taken in the pit garage at the Phoenix Grand Prix in 1989.
“When people ask me who was the best driver I ever raced against, I say, “Senna, by a long way.” Whatever our problems, one thing that never changed was our respect for each other as drivers, and once we were not rivals anymore, everything was different.
I look back on those days now and think to myself, “Why did we put ourselves through all that? Why did it have to get so venomous?” I used to say to people, “You're a fan of Ayrton Senna? Good, that's fine, but please don't hate me!” If we had to do it all again, I'd say to Ayrton, “Listen, we're the best. Between us, we can screw all the others!”
