Ayrton Senna

Our third hall of fame inductee is Ayrton Senna, a three time world champion who was tragically killed during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

Senna made his formula one debut with Toleman, before moving to Lotus for three years that brought six race victories.

In 1988 following a move to McLaren to join up with Frenchman Alain Prost, Senna won his first World title in a season dominated by the Woking outfit with Prost and Senna securing fifteen wins out of the sixteen races between them.

Senna had a tumultuos relationship with Prost but it was the Brazilian who remained the blue eyed boy of the team and went onto win further world championships for them in 1990 and again in 1991.

After finishing an impressive runner up to Alain Prost's dominant Williams in 1993 he joined the team in 1994 but he would be killed at the San Marino Grand Prix of that year.

Senna was voted the greatest driver of all time in a 2009 poll amongst current and former drivers, he has won the Monaco Grand Prix a record six times and is third overall in the list of race winners. He will arguably however be remembered for his tumultuos relationship with Prost and more notably two championship deciding collisions at the 1989 and 1990 Japanese Grand Prix.
