The song was requested by Aloysio Legey, [ first ] Director of the Transmissions of Formula 1 of the Globo channel, so that it will sound at the end of each edition of the Grand Prix of Brazil, regardless of who the winner was. That is why in the edition of the 1984 Grand Prix the song rang for Alain Prost, who years later would be Eternal Rival of Ayrton Senna.

Then, thanks to the constant victories of Nelson Piquet and the beginning of Senna’s career, Legey himself, in 1986, asked that the song be played in the Brazilian victories, regardless of the track on which it happened.

It was precisely Senna who popularized the subject with her victories. After his death in 1994, he spent 7 years without the issue being broadcast, a time elapsed among Senna’s last victory in the 1993 Australia Grand Prix and Rubens Barrichello’s first victory in the 2000 German Grand Prix.

In 2002, during the final of the World Cup of that year, at the Yokohama International Stadium, the “Da Vitória theme” rang again, when Brazil beat Germany 2 to 0. The journalist Galvão Bueno, said that Senna won three titles, always in the Suzuka circuit and the Pentacapeonato came from Japan.

The theme has accompanied the victories of Nelson Piquet, Ayrton Senna, Rubens Barrichello and Felipe Massa and currently the channel continues to use it.

In 2009, the theme of victory had a different arrangement, because when Rubens Barrichello won the European Grand Prix, Brazil won the one hundred victory in the history of Formula 1.
