It was his 27th pole position in F1, and his 11th in the season he won his first world title.<\/p>\n 4- Monaco, 1985<\/strong><\/p>\n The Principality of Monaco is one of the most iconic places in Ayrton Senna\u2019s career, given his six wins and the second-place finish in 1984\u2019s downpour, when the Brazilian was a Toleman driver. In 1985 \u2013 this time driving a Lotus \u2013 the Brazilian secured the first of his five pole positions at Monte Carlo. With a time of 1min20s450, Ayrton closed out his quickest lap in the qualifying sessions just 0s085 ahead of William\u2019s Nigel Mansell.
