Historical context
Ayrton Senna arrived at Williams in 1994 with the mission of reclaiming the lost throne. Michael Schumacher dominated with Benetton. The first three races pointed to one of the great duels in history, tragically cut short at Imola. This simulation lets you explore what would have happened if Senna had completed that season.
The drivers
Ayrton Senna da Silva is considered by many to be the most talented driver in Formula 1 history. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, he dominated the grid through the late 80s and early 90s with a blend of raw speed, unmatched wet-weather instinct and an almost mystical focus behind the wheel. He reached F1 in 1984 with the modest Toleman and dazzled straight away in the Monaco rain, closing on the leader when the race was stopped. Full profile →
Michael Schumacher redefined what it meant to be a professional Formula 1 driver. He debuted in 1991 with Jordan at Spa and left everyone stunned; barely a race later he was at Benetton. Full profile →
