It may have been obscure, but Ayrton Senna still made a most positive Formula 1 debut at the 1984 Brazilian Grand Prix. He would however soon stake a significant claim to F1 glory, which he would of course go on to redeem, and then some…

Supported by Italian washing machine maker Candy and active in the sport between 1981 and 1985, the plucky British squad replaced Derek Warwick, who was snapped up by Renault, and Bruno Giacomelli to make way for the prodigy of Senna and multiple motorcycle GP world champion Johnny Cecotto.

Editor17.03.2020

Ayrton Senna would have been sixty on Saturday. Sadly he was taken so tragically, but his untimely death has made the enigma of Ayrton Senna into a legend larger than life.

Everyone knows the records — the three world titles, the 41 wins, 80 podiums and an incredible 65 pole positions in 161 GP starts set him apart as among the greatest drivers of all time but what was always more incredible to behold, was how Senna went about his passion of racing — how he absolutely selflessly put his entire body, soul and spirit into every aspect of racing and rewrite how it should be done as he did so.
