Twenty years ago Ayrton Senna died in the tragic weekend at Imola. We decide to remember it for the sample that was, by collecting the 5 most spectacular races of his career.



1. 1984 - Grand Prix of Monaco and Monte-carlo

It is the race in which, for the first time, you realize that Ayrton Senna is really a special pilot, magician of the rain. In the Principality runs under a violent storm. Spin, retreats, accidents make the race much more level than usual. Take advantage of the small teams and from the bottom of the league (party was 13 °) comeback a young Senna on Toleman-Hart , in the first year in Formula 1. The comeback stops when the Brazilian was near to the first place of Alain Prost because the race is suspended in advance, after 31 laps, to the impracticability of the track.

2. 1985 - The Portuguese Gp, Estoril

The first victory in Formula 1 of Ayrton Senna and true cannibal. The Brazilian, the second race with the Lotus, vince doppiando all other pilots with the exception of Michele Alboreto, came second in a Ferrari with over a minute's delay. Senna, which had started in Pole Position, will mark the fast lap in the race, finding its first "Grand Helem" (pole, victory, fastest lap and race from the beginning to the end).

3. 1991 - Gp del Brasile, Interlagos

The first, sweaty, victory in the Grand Prix of the house. A crazy race, where Senna, long head after it started from the pole, he manages to triumph despite a gearbox problem, which first freezes on the fourth and then on the sixth gear. Accomplices of the problems were occurring in Mansell, forced to retire when he could impensierire Senna, the Brazilian managed to finish the race in the head. In the fight against the last laps between the champion and the gearbox, the right arm of the Brazilian remains almost paralyzed for a continuous effort: at the end of the race will be helped to get out of the car and faticherã even to raise the trophy on the podium.
