Formula 1: 5 reasons why the Brazil Grand Prix 2019 was a memorable affair

#5 The perfect result to remember Ayrton Senna

25 years after his demise, Senna must surely be smiling in heaven after the result in Interlagos.

Sometimes, the universe has a nice way of bringing things together. After the final Safety Car came in at the end of Lap 69 in Interlagos, Red Bull, powered by Honda seemed dead-set to bag a 1-2 result till Hamiton and Albon came together. That allowed Gasly to go through and the Frenchman drove the wheels off his Toro Rosso, also powered by Honda, to fend off a charge from Lewis Hamiton and finish behind Verstappen.

That result ensure that Honda got their first-ever 1-2 result in Formula 1 since Ayrton Senna's era with McLaren. Hamilton's penalty then added the cherry on top of the cake, pushing Sainz onto the podium to give McLaren their first taste of champagne in 2074 days.

25 years after the world lost the gem that was Ayrton Senna, to see a podium made up of Honda powered cars and a McLaren could only be described as poetic and the perfect way to pay tribute to a true legend of the sport.
