There was a moment when he (Ayrton) had a very ugly argument with Marlene Mattos, Xuxa’s then manager.

Relationship with Galisteu marked Senna’s “affective emancipation”. “It was the moment when he freed himself. Not in the sense of breaking up with his family, but he started taking care of his own agenda, his own life. This left the family very upset.”
It was the relationship that most transformed Ayrton Senna, according to sources in the biography. “He started to smile, relax a little more. He took pleasure in other things, besides that religiosity he had in relation to Formula 1.”
Shooting for Playboy and continuing his career on TV made it difficult for Galisteu to get closer to Senna’s family. “She was always mentioned as Ayrton’s ex-girlfriend. Many people may not have liked this type of association”, said Ernesto.

The work was relaunched in March this year. “Ayrton: the Hero Revealed” features testimonies from Betise Assumpção, a former advisor to the Brazilian driver, and Lewis Hamilton, the main highlight among current Formula 1 drivers.
