Historical context

The 1992 Williams FW14B was a revolutionary car: active suspension, traction control and semi-automatic gearbox. Nigel Mansell took it to a historic dominance. Senna that year drove a clearly inferior McLaren. Had the Brazilian had that Williams, 1992 would have been his without any doubt.

The driver

Ayrton Senna3× world champion (1988, 1990, 1991)

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 →
