Senna won the Monaco Grand Prix six times during his career – this was the first.
Taking victory by a full 33 seconds ahead of second place Nelson Piquet, there can be absolutely no doubt that Senna drove the wheels off his Lotus 99T that day. He also won pole position, and found himself on the podium at the end of the year in the Driver’s Championship for the first time. It was an incredible drive, captured here on video. Enjoy.
