And Senna Goes Through by Robert Tomlin. The 1993 European Grand Prix, held at the refurbished, historic race circuit of Donington Park in Leicestershire on a soggy Easter Sunday, was one of the most remarkable races in the history of Formula One. It produced what is generally accepted to be the Lap of the Century. After having been seriously outclassed in practice by Prost and Hill in the Williams and narrowly by Schumacher's Benneton, Senna found himself in fourth place on the grid. As the race started and the sprint for the first corner got under way, Prost and Hill streaked away whilst a battle developed between Senna and Schumacher. As the Benneton cut across Senna's line he took avoiding action which let the Sauber of Wendlinger through into third place and pushed Senna into fifth out of the first corner. With grim determination Senna reacted immediately. He quickly forced his way past Schumacher and taking to the wet part of the track made a dramatic flat-out overtaking pass on Wendlinger through the fast Craner Curve. At McLeans he was already on the tail of Hill who was still grappling with the wet conditions. Senna pushed through on the inside and by the time the Esses came up for the first time he was amazingly up behind Prost. With the slow Melbourne Hairpin coming next, Senna again did the unthinkable and took the wet line, surprising and outbraking Prost. As our picture shows, he dived through on the inside to take the lead. In less than one lap Senna had achieved the impossible, climbing from fifth to first place, and went on to win one of the most memorable races in the history of F1. |

Sporting Legends - Ayrton Senna by Stuart McIntyre. Ayrton Senna da Silva is widely regarded as the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time. He was born on 21st March 1960 in Sao Paulo, Brazil and began Kart racing at the age of 13. In 1984, Senna drove the Toleman Hart TG184 in his first ever Formula 1 season and his exceptional talent was immediately apparent. He achieved his first Grand Prix victory in 1985 driving the Lotus 97T Renault and in 1988 he joined McLaren to drive the Marlboro McLaren MP4/6 Honda. Ayrton Senna then began a period of domination in the sport and won the Drivers World Championship three times - 1988, 1990 and 1991. In 1994, Senna moved to the Rothman Williams team to drive the Williams Renault FW16, but sadly in only his third race, he was tragically killed at the San Marino Gran Prix, Imola on 1st May 1994. Truly, a legend of his time. |
Sporting Legends : Michael Schumacher by Stuart McIntyre. Michael Schumacher is widely regarded as the best driver currently in Formula 1 and possibly the best the sport has ever seen. Since 1994, he has dominated Formula 1 and has won the drivers world championship three times - Benetton-Ford - 1994, Benetton-Renault - 1995 and Ferrari - 2000. These championships were achieved over a relatively short time during which he racd in 145 Grand Prix, accumulated a staggering 678 points and 44 race wins, a record only surpassed by Alain Prost. Truly, a legend in his time. The text for this print was written before his career had even reached its peak. Schumacher retired with a total of 7 drivers championships, 5 won consecutively from 2000 to 2004. If he was thought of as a legend when this text was written, having achieved only 3 titles, one can only imagine his legendary status having gone on to yet greater subsequent achievements in the sport. |

Tribute to Eddie Irvine by Stuart McIntyre. Eddie Irvine raced Formula Ford from 1983 to 1988. Driving a variety of different chassis, he won two Formula Ford championships by the end of 1987. In 1988, Eddie drove in the British Formula Three championship and then joined the Jordan Formula 3000 team for 1990. He won his first race at Hockenheim, finishing third overall in the championship that year. The following three years saw Eddie driving in the Japanese F3000 series, almost winninh the title in 1993. He also drove for Toyota at Le Mans holding the lap record for several years. At the end of 1993 Eddie drove for the Jordan F1 team and gained notoriety by overtaking Ayrton Senna having only just been lapped by him. In 1996, Eddie took on the unenviable role as number two to Michael Schumacher at Ferrari but in 1999 became the number one driver for Ferrari following a serious accident for Schumacher. |

Wild Cats at Monaco by Robert Tomlin Eddie Irvine drove the Jaguar R2 during the 2001 Monaco Grand Prix and is captured in print darting through the Nouvelle Chicane on his way to third place and teams first podium position. With its beautiful backdrop of yachts and water, the circuit is famed for being the most picturesque and demanding track in the Formula 1 world series. It is a unique street circuit and a remarkable creation on the streets of this small Monarchy. The car, chief designer John Russell and chief aerodynamicist Mark Handford under the leadership of technical director Steve Nichols, was launched in Coventry on 9th January 2001, and having switched to Michelin tyres, hopes were high at the start of the 2001 season. Eddie Irvines co-driver was Brazilian-born Luciano Burti who was previously Jaguar Racing development driver. The engine was powered by the CR-3 VIO from Cosworth Racing but it was difficult to achieve satisfactory wind tunnel results as the tunnel used was in California so the car suffered a little aerodynamically. It has been described as possibly overly robust! |
The First Lap - Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna, British Grand Prix, Silverstone, 1992 by Ivan Berryman. Nigel Mansell leads the pack in his red No.5 Williams on the first lap of the 1992 British Grand Prix, closely followed by the McLarens of Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger, with the No.19 Benneton of Michael Schumacher in fourth place.
