Corinthians paying touching helmet tribute to mark Ayrton Senna anniversary

SAO PAULO — Corinthians paid a wonderful mark of respect to late Formula One legend Ayrton Senna – by donning crash helmets to mark the 20th anniversary of his death.

The Brazilian club, who Senna supported before his fateful crash at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, emerged from the tunnel at the Arena Amazonia each holding a yellow helmet.

They then lined up before their Paulista clash, and all stood in solidarity with replica's of the Sao Paulo-born driver's bright yellow and green helmet on.
