Ayrton SENNA's ICONIC 1988 qualifying lap

This will never be forgotten. It was different from everyone. He gave himself up with all his strength to do his best on the tracks.

" so i drove on instinct being auto pilot ( i went into corner faster and " speed up my reaction to correct a slide before a corner apex ) ( put kart in " a mini slide " on the inside of corner to point kart at the straight then " accelerate before the apex and before australian champion " to cut the corner and cover less ground on the racetrack so i court him up " gangbusters with more speed " in the corner and at the end of the straight to " out brake him !" ( had broken engine mount had to pull out of race however my experience " out of body subconscious auto pilot driving made me " even faster than before !" ( true story )

[@johansmit4447]

Ayrton Senna da Silva's supremacy concerning F1 qualifying or racing was a God-given talent that no normal racing driver could ever have matched due to its pure extraordinary achievement of the one gifted with it. No-one, not even the racing drivers of this era, would ever have been able to match his superiority as a specially gifted racing driver. Ayrton Senna da Silva is the greatest F1 racer of all times and will forever conquer that honour. RIP Ayrton, in the knowledge of every racing idols life, your name will forever be the one that will be mentioned by, even by people who never saw you racing but only heard of you and saw videos of races that you have contended, especially the "Lap of the Gods" at Donington Park in 1993 racing in an inferior car and beating the pants off the FW Renaults that was piloted by no other than Alain Prost and Damon Hill in that best car of that era in all weather conditions. You have set the standards of F1 racing that day while no-one else could challenge you during that race, not even Michael Schumacher. Murray Walker once said that you were making fools of world champions and contenders alike during a wet race at Monaco's race of the principality. That was the day when you've thrown down the gauntlet for every other F1 racing driver, but they could never match your capabilities.

@@homegrownpa Actually yeah he could. Tracks were made of dirt back then. Shoes were not as efficient in transfer of mechanics. He would run faster than a 4 min today. Also the amount of people who can run under a 4min mile is still few and far between. He would still be an elite runner....even without the advantages that a modern runner has..... With it...I reckon he would be near top of the field for his best event.

@Kjou You're completely brainwashed. No politics ever favored Prost, that's a myth. In 1989 it was Senna's fault, just like in 1990. Senna was the darling of F1 and was never punished for his reckless manouvers, not to mention Honda always favored him over his teammate. The pole position at Suzuka was on the same side for years, Senna wanted favoritism like he usually got, but didn't work that time. So he decided to cause the worst deliberate crash ever in F1, out of ego, jealousy and his usual craziness. And he wasn't punished for it, absurd. The change of regulations for 1994 didn't harm anyone, cars with active-suspensions and electronics weren't any safer. Senna had issues with the car due to his size and style, that's why Williams had to change the cockpit and mess with the steering wheel.
