Senna (again) and his 14 y/o fiancée

#1

Post by Starling »

I know I'm going into dangerous waters here.

Re: the Senna pic with/without beard.

I posted both pics on Reddit. (I can hear you: "Are you asking for trouble?")

In the comments, totally off topic (it's a subreddit for cute F1 guys), someone holier-than-thou answers: "Are people not aware about his situation with a minor?"

YES, I knew about his relationship with Adriane Yamin when she was 14 and he was 23. I always had the feeling that it was an arranged engagement. The lovely someone on Reddit pushed me to research the topic. They were actually in love.

I don't want to write more because I could look like a perv or a bigot, choose your flavour. I just ask you, if you knew about this. what was your reaction? Thanks!

Senna had a wife in the early 80s whom he divorced and at the time of his death he was dating Adriane Galisteau. He also allegedly briefly dated models Elle MacPherson and Carol Alt. In the late 80s he was dating Brazilian TV presenter Xuxa.

Beautiful pics :smiley:

This is always a weird topic for me, because when I followed Senna I knew nothing about his private life; mainly because he was very reserved and there were no Instagram or Twitter. I was only vaguely aware of his wedding when he was 21, and knew about Xuxa because she looked cool and beautiful to the girl I was. When he died I learned also about Adriane Galisteu, and later Carol Alt. It seems Adriane Yamin was his fiancée after his failed marriage. There were other women, and in an interview with Brazilian Playboy he hinted at the fact that among these ladies was Piquet's wife. :amazed:

Hence Piquet spreading the rumour that Senna was gay, which at the time almost made sense to me because I knew so little about his relationships. After his death I learned about his private life, and I can safely say that for a homosexual he had quite a lot of female lovers!

Then there is the other side of Senna gossip, that he was a total Lothario and went after anything that breathed and wore a skirt (Highlanders not included). I can't quite reconciliate this with his Catholicism and his shy personality. I think it's vastly exaggerated, and about those affairs he did have, I guess it was a matter between him and God. One of the things that fascinate me about him is his complexity.

[One day I'll get into even deeper waters about Senna's religion. I'm a Catholic too, but I never heard of him going to Mass, Confession etc. Other Catholics here might enlighten me.]

Regarding Adriane Yamin, I believe none of us can judge without knowing. She wrote a book about Senna, very positive, but alas I don't read Portuguese and it was never translated. The fellow on Reddit was very judgemental. In abstract, I'd also consider a relationship between a 14 y/o and a 23 y/o quite icky, but I just don't know the background, so I'll hold my judgment.

Sorry for my gossipy posts, I know nothing about motors so I do my best to contribute :haha:

Nothing wrong about gossip, I also remember the days when the only way you could learn about motor sports was buying a newspaper (like printed on a real paper), watch the TV news or actually listen to the radio!

Speaking of Piquet, well, his daughter seems to have a knack of cycling around drivers so I wonder if the old man is truly happy about this :haha:

She seems to prefer Red Bull drivers though.... didnt she dump Danny Kvyat for Max when Kvyat was replaced by Max at RBR? Or did it happen later. Wasnt there a child involved with Kvyat and Piquet?
Maybe Kelly Piquet has had other dealings with drivers I dont know of.

Over the years there seems to have been more interbreeding in F1 circles than the Royal Family. :omg:

Yeah, Kelly Piquet has a daughter with Kvyat that should be ca. 3 years old now. She hooked up with Max almost a year after splitting with Kvyat IIRC. What's more curious is that she is 6 years older than Kvyat & 9 years older than Max so kinda going the MILF route here :tongue:

This isn't new to F1, Schuey's wife used to be Frentzen's GF and Ronnie Peterson's widow was later dating John Watson IIRC?

Marc Surer's ex-wife later married Martin Tomczyk in case anyone cares :tongue:

Funnily enough I was going to mention that one.
That relationship did not end well either.... they were 'linked' when sadly Babro committed suicide nearly 10 years after Ronnie died. I know she suffered terribly from depression following Ronnies death.

Forgot to add the Mother of Nelson Piquet Jnr (Sylvia Tamsma) also a couple of Piquet Senior's other children was previously Elio de Angelis's girlfriend.

The pitlane was like one of those orgy videos in the 80s ;)

Even Frank Williams was getting his big end (unproven) away. Everyone except mansell

Iirc Senna had some young lad hanging around with him in the pitlane, so Piquet made use of that. Rather like Carlos sainz's agent :wink:

Senna may have been gay or bi, a string of girlfriends proves absolutely nothing. We'll probably never find out though as especially in Brazil reputational damage would still be huge (unfortunately)

What interests me more about senna is where he was on the autism spectrum. I have a high functioning autistic daughter and see quite a few of the same traits

It was a big point of discussion at the time, especially among the rather worldly world of F1. So, I assume that this is correct. He was also big into flying remote controlled aircraft. I gather he was somewhat of an introvert in a very public environment. This is never a particularly comfortable situation.

I seem to recall posting a number of pictures of him with his radio controlled planes and boats. He had a room exclusively for them in his home I seem to recall. I just tried to search them here but no luck

Yea, didn't see them here, but I remember that from elsewhere. I think this is part of what made him great. He was simply fascinated with controlling and playing with boats, planes, racing cars, etc. I openly admit that I can't stand the guy, but he was the greatest qualifier in F1.
