Before Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton established their dominance in Formula One, there was a certain Brazilian driver who was the man to beat and who, to this day, is regarded by many as the greatest F1 driver of all time. Ayrton Senna’s legacy goes beyond winning world championships and races. His race craft is what drew fans towards him and left his rivals shaking when they saw him in their mirrors. When it comes to pure raw speed and the impeccable control of it, there is perhaps no one better than Senna to do it.

The Brazilian was a three-time world champion, winning the crown in 1988, 1990, and 1991. He perhaps would have added at least one more title to his collection had it not been for arguably the most tragic incident in F1 history. Senna was involved in a nasty crash at the 1994 San Marino GP and lost his life at the age of 34.
