Ayrton Senna Figurine GP Brazil 1991

The 1991 Brazilian Formula One Grand Prix. One of the most memorable races of the time.

On pole position for his home race, Brazilian Ayrton Senna made the perfect start to pull away from Nigel Mansell, Riccardo Patrese, Jean Alesi, Gerhard Berger and Alain Prost, building up a lead of 3 seconds by lap 8. By lap 20 Mansell was closing and the gap was down to 0.7s, however a disastrous 18s pitstop on lap 26 cost him dearly.

After Senna and Patrese had made their stops, Mansell was 7s behind Senna's lead McLaren. There seemed no doubt that Senna would be caught but the chance never arose and on lap 50 Mansell had to stop for a new set of tires after a puncture caused by debris on the track.

Senna had problems of his own when his gearbox began failing, having lost fourth gear. By lap 60 the lead was halved and Mansell had now set fastest lap. However, ironically it was Mansell's gearbox that gave way first, causing him to retire on lap 61, slightly easing the pressure on Senna.

Maintaining his lead with just a couple of laps left, Senna had also lost fifth and third gears. Having to maintain sixth gear in slow and medium corners meant that several times he nearly stalled. Patrese was catching him rapidly, but with gearbox problems of his own he was unable to pass.

Furthermore, as if the heavens had opened up, the bad weather deteriorated and Senna began gesturing to stewards to stop the race, however despite that, and a small fire on the grid, Senna won the Grand Prix by a mere 2.9 seconds from Patrese, having to be lifted bodily from the car due to exhaustion.
