A former Ferrari F1 sporting director shared insights on how close the team was to signing Ayrton Senna, leading to his departure from Ferrari.

Despite his success with other teams, Senna never raced for Ferrari, a missed opportunity revealed by Cesare Fiorio. Fiorio detailed a near-contract deal with Senna, which fell through due to internal communication issues and led to his own departure from Ferrari. The incident occurred during the intense Senna-Alain Prost rivalry era, with Ferrari seeking to regain its glory in the sport. Fiorio expressed pride in his tenure at Ferrari and the progress made during the late 1980s, reflecting on key moments in his career.
