Many know of Ayrton Senna’s great mastery of driving Formula 1 cars extremely well and flamboyantly in the wet.

The truth was that Ayrton was terrible in the rain when he was younger. He would win every competition or race in the dry, but when it rained, he was completely miserable at it.

Absolutely fed up with his results in the rain, Ayrton would sit by his local karting circuit, just waiting for it to rain. He’d spend hours in the wet, often coming home drenched and soaking wet. While every other driver sought shelter in the wet, Ayrton was the first to get out there and drive.

That dedication helped him master his abilities and by the time he reached F1, he was already one of the best - if not the best - under those conditions.
