Visual accuracy was one of Senna’s strong points

Ayrton Senna discussing with his friend, doctor Sid Watkins

Visual accuracy was one of Senna’s strong points. Sid Watkins, F1 doctor and a great friend of the world champion, realized this during a drive they once took together.

The two were looking for a reference point whilst trying to find the Jim Clark Museum in Scotland, when Senna saw a sign that was hidden away.

“I couldn’t even see the post that the sign was on, much less the sign, because it was about 100 meters away,” says Dr. Watkins.
