#4 How many pitstops?!
Trending
Now let’s turn the clock back to 1993, it was a very damp Donington that greeted the drivers and Prost was on pole with teammate Damon Hill in 2nd, Schumacher 3rd, Senna 4th, Wendlinger 5th and Andretti 6th. Senna may have won the Grand Prix but the real story was what happened behind him.
Because of the changeable weather conditions coupled with a few strategic miscalculations by the Williams team, they squandered a potential 1-2 and had to settle for 2nd and 3rd. What made matters even worse was that pole man Prost made 7 pitstops, which to this day remains as the highest number of pitstops in a race.
Bonus fact: Ayrton Senna had put nearly the entire field a lap down bar Damon Hil who was 1:23 seconds down the road. To this day, the 1993 Donington Park victory remains as Senna’s greatest victory, incidentally, he also set the fastest lap while in the pitlane.
