Known in Brazil as the Tema da Vitória, the piece was composed by Eduardo Souto Neto and used by Rede Globo to soundtrack Brazilian Formula One victories. It became inseparably linked with Ayrton Senna during his championship years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when it followed so many of his Grand Prix wins on television. After Senna's death in 1994 it remained a symbol of that era, and online it now appears in racing edits, tribute clips and ironic victory memes far beyond Brazil.
