Where is senna car now

There is one on display, but wasn't sure if that's the same car Senna was killed in, or just the spare from that season. Re: The whereabouts of Senna's FW16 Post Fri Jun 07, am The one on display it's certainly not the car we're talking about, it is just a car used in that season.

As you can see, Senna's car has the right side pretty much destroyed with the chassis being broken and so on, and I don't think Williams were so cynical to repair and display the car in which Ayrton was killed. The crashed car is probably stored somewhere away in the Williams factory or it has been destroyed. It's my understanding that Frank oversaw that activity.

On another note, I think it very very cool that Williams continues to display the "Senna S" on every car to this day. The car is held in an Italian Prosecution Evidence Storage facility somewhere in Milan the last time i heard, the chassis and all the bits that were retrieved from the scene are held in a large wooden box similar to the opening scene to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

That is how he has been brought up, but you can see the pain in his eyes every time he thinks about the accident. Senna was competing in just his third race for Williams, who were then the kings of the Formula One road. Alain Prost won the championship a year later. Williams then landed the driver he had dreamt of signing. He got into his heart, got into his mind, and he always wanted to put him in his race car.

Frank Williams remains the team principal of a constructor which has won 16 combined championships. But his title is now largely in name only. The year tetraplegic has been consigned to a wheelchair for more than three decades after a road accident in Long before his death, Senna took interest in the welfare of Brazil's millions of disadvantaged children. He not only donated millions of his own money for their well-being but also put into place a framework that in November became the Instituto Ayrton Senna IAS.

His older sister, Viviane, launched the nonprofit organization and today oversees it. IAS' education programs now reach more than 10 million young people each year. I was very young then, watching him, and I was very affected by his drive for perfection. Since Senna's death, it has appeared as a mark of respect on every new Williams chassis, usually on the front-wing support struts.
