Epiphany: an experience of a sudden and striking realization.
F1 1984 Detroit - First Start.

[ENG] For Google Translate
Reporter: As a new driver is F1 what crosses your mind when you see something like thit happening in front of you ?

Senna: I think I was lucky to be right in front.
I was able to see all the accident.
Because if you start in the back of the grid, you don’t see anything
So I saw all the accident going. I tried to avoid it. I was out of the way.
Then a wheel just flew in the air and landed straight in the nose of my car.
I was lucky it didn’t lasd here.
[pointing out to his forehead, the place he came to be hit by his suspension arm in Imola 1994].
But unfortunatelly it damaged my race car and now I’m starting with my spare car.

"Tive sorte de estar largando à frente.
Pude ver o acidente acontecendo.
Tentei evitá-lo, já estava fora do caminho.
Mas então uma roda voou no ar e caiu direto no 'nariz' do meu carro.
Tive sorte que [a roda] não pousou aqui."
[Apontando a têmpora em que, dez anos mais tarde, viria a ser atingido por uma roda perdida]

F1 1994 Pacific - The last race before Imola.
God gave him a warning.
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy".
"Manter sagrado [Domingo] o dia do Senhor"
[PORT]
Rodar daquela maneira não é legal [prazeroso].
Mas, por outro lado, talvez Ele [Deus] - olhando p/ o céu - tenha nos dado um pequeno... aviso a respeito de algum problema no carro.
Porque aconteceu o mesmo problema com o meu companheiro de equipe, no exato mesmo lugar.
Então nós sabemos que, talvez, tenhamos um potencial problema, em algum lugar [no carro]...
