Ask HN: Is Ayrton Senna a good role model for entrepreneurs?
I don't know how many of you know Ayrton Senna... if you don't, try watching his documentary than answer this question.
- tsahyt 14y agoDon't know about entrepreneurs, but he certainly is a good role model for drivers (professional ones, that is).
- gcmartinelli 14y agoHm.. I believe he is a role model for more than just driving. Focus, personal drive, willingness to go against the status quo, amongst others... Seem like pretty important features for entrepreneurs.

Also earlier this year was at an event in Edinburgh where Sir Jackie Stewart spoke to a bunch of founders, he was excellent.

- foobarram 14y agoNot really - I have done motorsports for long (F1 designer), and I feel Michael Schumacher is more of a role model than AS. Infact, MS has been my role model since I was 14.
