1984 Monaco GP


This race was hailed for the magnificent drive of Senna. Qualifying only in the 13th place was the best he can do at that time. That time he raced for the Toleman which was nowhere near the class of Mclaren, Williams and Ferrari. But Senna refused to juse sit idly and watch as the big dogs race. When racing in Monaco it is essential that you get the pole position because of the narrow width of the track and its a street circuit so its harder to overtake. The only way to win this for Senna was to have everybody crash and he finishes first. Although that didn't happen, there was a blessing for him as the race got started. It was a downpour and most of the drivers were going off track and losing positions. This was a blessing for Senna because he was the best when racing in the wets, so he started to overtake more drivers as the race progressed. It was 4 seconds shaved off of Prost's time every lap. The rain was pouring more and more yet Senna didn't struggle and kept on the pressure on Prost until the race was terminated. It was a close victory for Prost, if the race continued Senna would have won that race
