5 Unforgettable moments of Ayrton Senna's F1 career

5: Donington 1993

Senna and his future teammate, Damon Hill

Williams were once again the team to beat in 1993, and McLaren had slid further down the gird in overall performance. Nevertheless, Senna had managed to win in his home race at the previous round.

The European Grand Prix at Donington Park provided a new challenge for the F1 crop, a track where they'd never raced at. Senna had a poor start, dropping from fourth to fifth, but the Brazilian maestro demonstrated overtaking and racing instincts we've seldom witnessed in the sport.

After being crowded out by Michael Schumacher at the start, but Schumacher ran slightly wide and Senna powered by the German before sweeping around Karl Wendlinger at Turn 3. Senna then chased after Damon Hill and made quick work of him, passing at Turn 7.

Only Alain Prost now stood between Senna and the lead but not even a three-time world champion could resist Senna in this form. He closed up to Prost through the Esses and sent his McLaren down the inside at the Melbourne Hairpin.

In one lap Senna had gone from fifth to first in a car that was much slower than the Williams and, not to forget, in appalling conditions. Senna made something that seemed very difficult move look incredibly easy, a true great of the sport.

There are so many other magical moments that we didn't mention, such as his legendary Monaco pole lap in 1988, saving Erik Comas at Spa in 1992 and his first win in a flooded track at Estoril. His legacy will stand for all of the time, not just because of his racecraft, but also because he was a great man too, giving millions to charity in his lifetime. Sempre Senna.
