I will always remember with great fondness seeing Paul and Derek watching practice at the 1991 Grand Prix. I was marshalling at Luffield In when they both came down and watched an F1 session. Luffield was not a great attraction so they spent all of their time watching the cars through Bridge. Senna came through on a very hot lap and was clearly fighting the handling of his McClaren. Paul looked over to his brother and then took a couple of steps across to him before embracing him in a kind of 'wow, that was scary kind of way.'
Shocking to think that he was dead just days later. RIP.
