We look back on a motor-racing legend who was voted world’s greatest driver by his F1 peers
02 May 2019 - 05:06May 1 2019 marked the 25th anniversary of the death of legendary Formula One driver Ayrton Senna.
Until 2006 he held the record for most pole positions, at 65. He is still in third place, behind Lewis Hamilton on 84 pole positions and Michael Schumacher on 68, while he is the fifth-most successful driver of all with 41 race wins. After six wins with the fast but unreliable Lotus, Senna moved to McLaren in 1988 to begin an illustrious partnership that delivered three world titles and 35 race wins. In 1991 Senna became the youngest ever three-time world champion.
