Proc. Nº 8351/07 Pll Nº 287/07 Exposição De Motivos PROC. Nº 8351/07 PLL Nº 287/07 EXPOSIÇÃO DE MOTIVOS Atendendo ao desejo dos moradores da Restinga, estamos encaminhando o presente Projeto de Lei para denominar um logradouro como Rua Ayrton Senna da Silva. Ayrton Senna da Silva foi um piloto de automóveis, vencedor por três vezes do Campeonato Mundial de Fórmula 1. É considerado um dos maiores nomes do esporte brasileiro e um dos mais importantes pilotos de automobilismo de todos os tempos. Nascido na capital paulista, em 21 de março de 1960, filho de um rico empresário brasileiro, logo se interessou por automóveis, incentivado pelo pai, Milton, um entusiasta das competições automobilísticas. Aos quatro anos de idade, ganhou o seu primeiro kart, que tinha um motor de corta relva, feito pelo próprio pai. A habilidade do garoto na condução do novo brinquedo impressionou a família. Aos nove anos, já conduzia jipes pelas precárias estradas existentes no interior das propriedades da família. Começou a competir oficialmente nas provas de kart aos treze anos. Em 1977, venceu o Campeonato Sul-Americano de Kart. Foi vice-campeão mundial da categoria, a única em que não conseguiu o título máximo. Foi detentor de um recorde impressionante que levou dez anos para ser batido, o de pole positions. Senna, paulistano de carisma e competência, deixou um grande legado para os brasileiros, que vai além do exemplo como piloto. Idealizou o Instituto Ayrton Senna, instituição do Terceiro Setor, atualmente dirigida pela sua irmã, Viviane. Mudou-se para a Europa em 1981, onde disputou a Fórmula Ford 1600 inglesa, conquistando o título de campeão. Em 1982, Senna participou dos Campeonatos Europeu e Inglês de Fórmula Ford 2000, sendo o campeão de ambos. Na temporada de 1983, venceu o famoso Grande Prêmio de Macau e a Fórmula 3 inglesa. Neste último campeonato, após várias vitórias em Silverstone, a imprensa inglesa especializada chegou a chamar o circuito de “Silvastone”, em homenagem a Ayrton. Em 1984, conseguiu uma vaga na equipe Toleman-Hart de Fórmula 1. Nesta categoria, mais uma vez seu talento não tardou a se destacar, especialmente no Grande Prêmio (GP) de Mônaco, disputado em condições adversas devido a uma forte chuva. Nesse GP, mesmo sem vencer, ele já demonstrava enorme talento. Nas últimas voltas da corrida, sob um forte temporal, Senna se aproximava rapidamente do piloto que liderava a corrida, o francês Alain Prost, quando esta foi PROC. Nº 8351/07 PLL Nº 287/07 dada por encerrada pelo juiz da prova antes do número regulamentar de voltas, por questões de segurança. Ainda neste ano, Senna chegaria em terceiro lugar em dois GPs, um deles em Brands Hatch, na Inglaterra. No ano seguinte, Senna foi contratado como segundo piloto da então grande equipe Lotus, e logo venceria seu primeiro GP, em Estoril, Portugal, também debaixo de uma grande chuva. Com o excelente motor Renault de treinos, Senna passaria a ser o “rei das pole positions”. Mas, nas corridas, Senna não terminou a maioria dos Grandes Prêmios. Encerraria o ano com uma corrida marcante, no GP da Austrália, quando repetiu seu ídolo Gilles Villeneuve e pilotou um bom tempo sem o bico do carro, saindo várias vezes da pista e levantando terra para todos os lados, mas mantendo a segunda posição. O carro mais uma vez não agüentou, e Senna abandonou a corrida. Em 1986, reconhecendo estar com um carro inferior aos da Willians e McLaren, Senna passou a adotar uma estratégia de não parar para trocar pneus, buscando ficar na frente dos adversários o maior tempo possível. Essa estratégia o levou a ganhar o GP da Espanha de 1986, por exemplo, quando chegou na frente de Nigel Mansel com uma vantagem de milésimos de segundo. Na Hungria, um circuito ainda mais travado (que não permitia ultrapassagens), repetiu uma vez mais a estratégia, mas ali foi ultrapassado por Nelson Piquet, numa das mais sensacionais manobras da história da Fórmula 1 moderna. Ainda nesse ano, Senna tornar-se-ia definitivamente um ídolo no Brasil, ao vencer o GP de Detroit e superar o francês Prost, logo depois da Seleção Brasileira de Futebol ser desclassificada pela Seleção da França na Copa do Mundo de 1986. Ao dar a volta da vitória, Senna exibiu uma bandeira brasileira, o que emocionou os brasileiros, que entenderam o gesto como uma “vingança” em cima dos franceses. Em 1987, a Lotus receberia o patrocínio de uma nova marca de cigarros e mudaria sua cor do tradicional preto para o amarelo. Como novidade tecnológica, lançaria a chamada suspensão ativa, recurso eletrônico que depois seria refinado pela Willians. Mas com a Lotus essa tecnologia não funcionou bem, e Senna continuaria sem alcançar seu objetivo, que era ganhar o campeonato. Mesmo assim, conseguiria vencer o GP de Mônaco, o primeiro de uma longa série de vitórias neste tradicional circuito. Títulos Em 1988, Senna migrou para a equipe McLaren, formando dupla com Alain Prost. A competitividade acirrada entre ambos provocou alguns incidentes durante a temporada. No final, mesmo sendo menos regular e tendo pontuado PROC. Nº 8351/07 PLL Nº 287/07 menos que Alain Prost, Senna sagrou-se campeão, devido à regra de descartes existente na época. Em 1989, veio a resposta de Prost, em um polêmico campeonato marcado pela desclassificação de Senna no GP do Japão. Numa curva de baixa velocidade, Prost aparentemente jogou o carro pra cima de Senna, fazendo com que os dois saíssem da pista. Prost abandonou a corrida, mas o brasileiro, com a ajuda dos fiscais de pista, conseguiu religar o carro e voltou para a pista em segundo lugar, voltando à liderança ao ultrapassar Alessandro Nannini, na mesma curva em que ocorreu o acidente. Ao final da corrida, Senna foi desclassificado, pois, ao retornar à pista, não fez a curva completa, pegando o acostamento e saindo mais à frente. Em 1990, com Prost na Ferrari, Senna venceu novamente o campeonato. Senna teria ido à forra contra o francês, quando, na final da reta, em alta velocidade, na primeira curva do decisivo GP do Japão, chocou seu carro contra o de Prost. “Deixei bater”, disse o piloto brasileiro logo após o acidente. O abandono de ambos deu o campeonato daquele ano a Senna. Em 1991, Ayrton Senna conseguiria o terceiro campeonato, desta vez tendo como principal rival o britânico Nigel Mansel. Ayrton venceu duas vezes o GP do Brasil: em 1991 e 1993. O GP em que mais ganhou foi o de Mônaco (seis vezes), marca que não foi atingida nem mesmo por Michael Schumacher. Por esse recorde, Senna recebeu o antigo apelido de Graham Hill: Mister Mônaco. Marcas Na pista, dedicou-se ao máximo e conduziu sempre com muita técnica e precisão, inclusive durantes os treinos classificatórios, uma de suas especialidades. Uma importante marca de Senna que ainda não foi superada é o número de vitórias no complicado circuito de rua de Mônaco, onde venceu por seis vezes, sendo cinco consecutivas: 1989 a 1993. Senna ocupava, em 1993, a terceira posição da lista dos milionários do esporte (da Revista francesa L'Évènement du Jeudi), com 18,5 milhões de dólares. GP memorável Em pista molhada, Senna sempre foi extremamente talentoso. No GP da Europa de 1993, em Donington Park, demonstrou seu talento ao sair em quarto lugar, cair para quinto e, depois, ir para a primeira posição, ainda na metade da PROC. Nº 8351/07 PLL Nº 287/07 primeira volta, passando Michael Schumacher, Wendlinger, Hill e Prost. No decorrer da prova, com a instabilidade climática, havia períodos em que a chuva cessava e logo depois voltava, aumentando a dificuldade para os pilotos e para as equipes, que precisavam ser o mais eficiente possível nas trocas de pneus slick, ou seja, pneu para pista seca, e pneus “biscoito”, para pista molhada. Senna, por sua vez, dispensou essa particularidade que os pneus exigiam, não entrando nos boxes para as trocas quando a pista molhava, segurando o carro na chuva com os pneus slicks, de pista seca, e, não se dando por satisfeito, conseguia se manter na frente dos seus adversários, correndo mais rápido do que eles, com os seus respectivos carros devidamente adequados com pneus “biscoito”, de chuva. Ao fim da prova, tinha uma vantagem de uma volta sobre praticamente todos os oponentes (exceto Damon Hill, que chegou em segundo lugar, porque o próprio Senna permitiu, para forçar seu rival Prost chegar em terceiro lugar). Homenagens Durante uma apresentação de uma turnê na Austrália, em 1993, a cantora Tina Turner chamou o piloto ao palco e disse que ele era the best (o melhor) e, então, Tina cantou a música “Simply the Best” (Simplesmente o melhor), referindo-se ao piloto, que declarou ser fã da cantora. No jogo Super Mônaco GP, para Sega Genesis, o rival do jogador na segunda temporada é G. Ceara, cujas feições são extremamente semelhantes às de Senna. Senna também possui dois jogos que usam o seu nome, Ayrton Senna Super Mônaco GP II, para Sega Genesis, e Ayrton Senna Kart Duel, para Playstation 1. O jogo para Super Nintendo Aero the Acrobat 2 foi feito em homenagem ao piloto, segundo os créditos finais deste. Frase do nosso campeão: “Se você quer ser bem sucedido, tem que ter dedicação total, buscar o seu último limite e dar o melhor de si mesmo”. Última temporada Em 1994, Senna finalmente deixou a McLaren e mudou-se para a equipe Willians-Renault. Em função da mudança no regulamento da Federação Internacional de Automobilismo (FIA), foram proibidos para todas as equipes os recursos eletrônicos, como suspensão ativa e controle de tração das rodas traseiras. A primeira corrida de 1994 aconteceu no Brasil, em Interlagos. Ayrton Senna liderava a prova, seguido de Michael Schumacher.

  • Running Head: Leadership Analysis - Senna 1
    Running Head: Leadership Analysis - Senna 1 Ayrton Senna’s pursuit of perfection in Leadership Kris Felstead Foundations of Leadership November 24th, 2012 Leadership Analysis: Senna 2 Senna is a film documentary about Brazilian race car driver Ayrton Senna. The film begins with an overview of his journey from Brazil to Europe and his arrival into Formula 1 in 1984. As the film follows Senna it reveals both his personal and on track challenges and triumphs, culminating in his recognition as a global superstar. It is common to hear race fans describe the drivers as heroes. The notion of what constitutes a hero from an outsider’s perspective can be quite different from the challenges a driver goes through to compete in the sport they love. Furthermore, if one examines the leadership criteria it takes to lead a team to a championship, it becomes clear the driver is doing much more than just piloting the car around a track. The relationship the driver has with his team is a delicate balancing act of focusing on the needs of the team, while balancing the need to attain specific objectives each race weekend. It was in this balancing act that Senna displayed his strongest and weakest moments of leadership and thorough this examination it becomes clear he is an authentic leader in every sense of the word. Emergence of a Leader The first footage you are presented with is Senna driving go-karts when he came from Europe in 1978 to compete in the World Championship. The voice over of Senna describes his feeling of competing at that time as “pure driving, pure racing, there wasn’t any politics to be concerned with, or money to be won, but just real racing” (Senna, 1:14).
