Greatest F1 drivers ever! 

#2 Ayrton Senna

The Legend of Senna

One of the most popular drivers in his time and the name everyone compares a driver to - Ayrton Senna. If you haven't watched the movie of his life, watch it.

He was an amazing driver, gifted and was the 'man'.

The King of Monaco and the King in the Wet, with the most consecutive wins at the famous track and at any one track, three world titles and numerous records make him one of the greatest in motor racing history. The records includes most pole positions at one race, only matched by Schumacher, and the most consecutive pole positions.

His rivalry with Alain Prost, was F1 in the 1980s summed up.

Senna was the people's favourite and there are numerous races which merit him to make this list. The two races I can think of are in cars which weren't by far the fastest, but Senna drove them past their potential and then some.

One is with the Toleman in Monaco, where if the race wasn't ended by the red flag due to bad weather, he would have beaten Prost's far superior McLaren. However the most well-known is his drive in Donington in 1993.

Senna started fifth in a slow McLaren-Ford and within 1 lap in the British rain, went to first passing rival Prost in the quicker Williams-Renault. This is regarded as the greatest lap in F1.

The whole F1 world and the outside world were gobsmacked and mourned his death during the 1994 San Marino GP and is lauded as a legend. And this legendary status should be recognised on this monument.
