Relive in video one of Ayrton Senna’s time laps on the Circuit de Monaco in 1990. It’s the kind of sequence we never tire of!
There are these videos etched forever in thecollective imagination racing enthusiasts. The examples are obviously legion like the rise of Pikes Peak by Ari Vatanen. When we talk about Ayrton Senna, easy memories.

Senna in her garden in Monaco
Monaco, and its narrow strip of asphalt between the rock and the port, the Brazilian giant has made it its garden. From its first appearance, fr 1984 driving a modest Toleman, until his final recital in 1993 in Mclaren less competitive than the Williams, Senna has tamed the most prestigious of tourniquets like a person.

If victory escaped him by accident that year, Senna easily caught up in the following seasons, stringing together principal victories like pearls to become the record holder with six successes, one more than Graham Hill. Fr 1990, he gratified us once again with his mastery during a lap time to make you dizzy.
