Remembering Ayrton Senna da Silva, 1960 - 1994: Wednesday 1st of May 2013

Tribute to Ayrton Senna by Stuart McIntyre

In 1984 Ayrton Senna drove the Toleman Hart TG184 in his first ever Formula 1 season and showed exceptional talent. Senna achieved his first Grand Prix win in 1985 driving the Lotus 97T Renault, the first of many to come. 

In 1988, the power lay with McLaren and Senna linked up with Ron Dennis to drive the McLaren MP4/6 Honda and was crowned world champion three times; 1988, 1990 and 1991. Then in 1994 when Williams held by far the best chance of a fourth world championship, Ayrton Senna made his move and drove the Williams Renault FW16. Sadly, just three races into the season came the tragedy of Imola.
