Top 5 Brazilian F1 Drivers of all Time

#1 Ayrton Senna

Ayrton Senna is known as one of the best drivers in Formula One

The jury is still out on whether Ayrton Senna is the greatest Formula One driver of all time, but he sure does come close to staking a claim on the title. There are five drivers who have won more driver’s titles than Senna’s three, but for the duration of his ten plus years that he was a part of the sport, he was a force to reckon with.

In 1993, he put on one of the best feats of overtaking in Europe when he climbed up from fifth to first in a single lap, better known as the “lap of gods”. His wet weather performances consistently put him in contention for the race win even when victory looked otherwise impossible.

His tenacity and grit were next to none, and he showed that at every opportunity possible. In 1991, when a long-awaited home Grand Prix win was within sight, Senna suffered a gearbox issue, leaving him stranded in sixth gear. He carried on leading the race, but he was so exhausted by the time the chequered flag was waved that he had to be carried out of the car due to exhaustion.
