It was no coincidence that the Brazilian driver won half of the races in which he took part at the Belgian circuit \u2013 five wins in ten contests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Only Michael Schumacher has won more times than Senna at Spa-Francorchamps. The German won six times, but he was in many more races \u2013 16, in total. But Senna\u2019s record for most consecutive wins still stands. After winning for the first time in 1985, with Lotus, he started a spectacular streak with McLaren, from 1988 to 1991, with four wins at the Belgian race. Only Jim Clark had achieved the same feat, between 1962 and 1965.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Let\u2019s take a look back at one single special moment in each of Senna\u2019s five wins at Spa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.senna.com\/en\/piloto\/formula-1\/temporada-1985\/grande-premio-da-belgica-1985\/\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">1985 \u2013 Overtaking to take the lead<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"F1 1985 Belgian GP Ayrton Senna\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LA4bRW3tc8E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">At the 1985 Belgian GP, Senna led almost from start to finish in a dominant performance, despite the water puddles on some spots. However, the Brazilian had to stop to put slick tires on, and came back in third place, behind Thierry Boutsen and Elio de Angelis, who were still using rain tires. Senna showed incredible control on a still wet track, overtaking both of them in less than a lap and regaining the race\u2019s lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.senna.com\/en\/piloto\/formula-1\/temporada-1988\/grande-premio-da-belgica-1988\/\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">1988 \u2013 Record for most pole positions in the decade and leaving Prost behind in the first lap<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"F1 1988 Belgian Grand Prix\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aIrDqR4IxAQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Ayrton Senna secured the 25<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0pole position in his career in 1988, in Belgium, becoming the record holder for the largest number of poles in the \u201880s \u2013 an incredible feat for a driver who had his start almost midway through the decade (1984).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">In the race, Alain Prost had a better start and jumped ahead, but right after the Eau Rouge, Senna caught up to his McLaren teammate and made his move at the Kemmel Straight, overtaking him before the Les Combes Chicane still during the first lap. After that, Senna had a clear path to victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.senna.com\/en\/piloto\/formula-1\/temporada-1989\/grande-premio-da-belgica-1989\/\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">1989 \u2013 Winning from start to finish on a wet track<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"COMPACTO do GP da B\u00e9lgica de 1989 : Vitoria de Senna contra Descartes de Prost e Show de Mansell\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X9VpH97vE-Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Known as \u201cthe King of Rain\u201d, in Formula One, Senna was dominant all weekend, with a pole position and a win from start to finish. On Sunday, the day of the race, a downpour fell over Spa-Francorchamps, but Ayrton held on to the lead throughout the race, finishing ahead of Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">It rained so hard in Spa that some of the best drivers in the world were taking 2 minutes and 21 seconds to finish a lap \u2013 almost 30 seconds more than in the qualifying sessions.

But he had a tough Sunday, in 1991. Due to gearbox problems, he lost the lead to Nigel Mansell (Williams) and Jean Alesi (Ferrari) during the race.
