'Nada pode me separar do amor de deus'. (Nothing can separate me from the love of God'). A devout Catholic, Formula One legend Ayrton Senna lies under a brass plaque that solemnly says so. The cemetery, Cemitario do Morumbi, is in the Rua Deputado Laercio Corte, near Sao Paulo.

The grave, which looks like any other, is at the centre of the Morumbi cemetery. The only difference is, you know from far where Senna is lying because it is specially cordoned off with thin black and yellow tape. A small Brazil flag is visible to the visitors once they enter the graveyard.
