Product Description
Ayrton Senna is one of the most iconic legends of Formula One, and this is an incredibly rare artifact from history. The King of Qualifying, The Legend of Monaco, The Rain Master.
Qualifying
Ayrton Senna is notorious for his unique approach to F1. Never one to leave anything on the track, Senna gave his heart & soul to F1 - something that is incredibly obvious when you look at his qualifying record. Senna had 65 pole positions from just 162 GP's meaning that he took pole at over 40% of the races that he competed in. An incredible stat that shows Senna's ability to extract every small bit of performance out of the car.
Monaco
Although, his 'Alien' ability to extract everything is perhaps best showcased by his record at Monaco. The notoriously challenging streets of Monte Carlo are feared by most F1 drivers, but the streets of Monte Carlo fear Ayrton Senna. In his ten years in Formula One, Senna had two DNF's, one 3rd, one 2nd, & SIX wins the prestigious Monaco GP. His sixth & final win at Monaco came in 1993, and that win crowned him as the king of Monaco, as he surpassed Graham Hill's five wins.
Rain
The 1993 season also saw one of Senna's greatest moments in F1. There are very few F1 fans who haven't seen Senna's "Lap of the Gods" around Donington Park at the 1993 European Grand Prix. The Brazilian lined up 4th and got a poor getaway from the lights - losing a position to Sauber's Karl Wendlinger. Not a great start, but on the exit of Redgate (turn 1) Senna got an undercut on Michael Schumacher & then immediately followed that up with an outrageous move round the outside at the iconic 'Craner Curves' on the Sauber. Up to 3rd now, with the dominant Williams' in front of him. Up towards the blind right-hander of McLeans, Senna made an audacious move on Damon Hill to claim 2nd. With all these battles, 'Professor' Prost had built a significant advantage out front. It only took Senna three corners to close the gap and took the lead into the Melbourne Hairpin. Senna would go on to win the race by over 1min20sec, as he lapped every car up to 2nd.
Senna
The 1993 season would see Senna have some sensational races, but he was plagued by DNFs that forced him to settle for 2nd in the 1993 World Championship. Goodyear supplied the tyres for the teams in the 1993, and this is Ayrton Senna's hat that he has signed. This is an incredible relic of Formula 1 history for an iconic driver that we remember for a plethora of important reasons.
