AS the favorite to win, and riding McLaren\u2019s amazing winning streak, he took the pole position on Saturday by posting a time of 1min23s998. While that result wasn\u2019t exactly a surprise, the fact that he had beaten two-time champion Alain Prost \u2013 who was also his teammate \u2013 by 1s427 surely was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Brazilian drove like He was in another dimension \u2013 which isn\u2019t just a figure of speech. Senna himself described the practice sessions for the 1988 Monaco GP as an incredible experience that even scared him a little, since it was \u201cway beyond his conscious understanding\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Remember Senna\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xn8gh39SsrM?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>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as the race started, Senna took off, leaving the Frenchman to deal with Gerhard Berger\u2019s and Michele Alboreto\u2019s Ferrari\u2019s, right behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senna posted the race\u2019s quickest lap on the 59th lap. And despite the fact that he was 50 seconds ahead of Prost, the Brazilian kept pushing his car to the limit. On the 66<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;lap, the seemingly impossible ended up happening: Ayrton made a mistake at the tunnel\u2019s entrance and crashed into the guard-rail when the race was his to lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Ayrton Senna crashes out at Monaco 88\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m10Z6PHgLOU?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>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ayrton was visibly upset when He left the car, and didn\u2019t even made it back to the pit boxes. Since he was close to his apartment in Monaco, he went home on foot to clear his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After winning the race, Prost also accused Senna of trying to humiliate him. For the Brazilian, however, the costly mistake was when he decided to change his behavior, allowing him to win his first world title by the end of the 1988 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So much so that, after the Monaco GP, Senna won seven races, heroically winning the championship at the Japanese GP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.senna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/960x540_0024_88mc_015.jpg-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.senna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/960x540_0024_88mc_015.jpg-1-630x164.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29497\"\/><\/a><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relive the victory that didn&#8217;t come and the mystical experience on the streets of Monaco.
