Captured by French Formula 1 photographer Dominique Leroy, this poignant black-and-white portrait of Ayrton Senna was taken moments before the start of his final race, the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at Imola. That afternoon, the Brazilian driver would tragically lose his life, forever changing the world of motorsport. A deeply moving photograph of one of racing’s greatest legends.
Selected from the photographer’s personal collection, the original slides have been carefully refined to achieve museum-grade print quality.

The photographs are really nice quality and framed well. I had a really good experience shopping at Wheels On Walls. They have genuine concern for their customers, a trait seldomly seen these days!

I just offered this picture to my husband who has 2 Jags in the garage. He was very please, it now proudly sits in his office. Stunning picture quality, and framing feels very professional. Will definitely purchase again in the future for my Schumacher-fan dad!
