Senna’s Unmatched Edge in F1

“F1 records fall every year… but these Senna records never did.” Ayrton Senna won

Monaco 6 times — 5 consecutively. No driver has ever controlled one circuit like that again.

In Year 1988, secured 13 poles in 16 races. Often over 1 second faster than his

teammate — same car, same fuel, no excuses. In the wet,

engineers estimated senna had 2–3 seconds per lap advantage. The data systems

of the era literally couldn’t explain it. Senna entered a driving “flow state”

before psychology named it — making decisions without conscious thought at 300 km/h.

At the time of his death, Senna already held the all-time pole record.
