#1 1993 European Grand Prix
Ayrton Senna lined up fourth for the 1993 European Grand Prix and after initially losing a place to Karl Wendinger, the three-time world champion put forth one of the most brilliant displays of racing during the first lap itself.

He stayed on the inside to pass by Michael Schumacher on the damp track, and then overtook Karl as well as Damon Hill to slip into second place. With eyes now set on Alain Prost, Ayrton stuck to the back of the Frenchman’s Williams and ultimately claimed the lead before the first lap was over.
The rain then continued to play hide and seek but despite all the chaos, Senna emerged victoriously. He crossed the chequered flag at least a lap ahead of everyone except Damon Hill.
The race is talked about for many reasons, one of which was the Sonic the Hedgehog trophy Ayrton was handed over, another the altercation between him and Eddie Irvine. However, the first lap wonder shown by the Brazilian remains an untouchable favourite.
