Ayrton Senna, 1990

Ayrton Senna became the 1990 World F1 Champion driving a McLaren Honda. It was the second of three world titles for the Brazilian.

In 1990, Ayrton Senna won his second Formula 1 World Championship with McLaren-Honda, famously securing the title at the Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka by colliding with his rival Alain Prost at the first corner, mirroring their infamous 1989 clash but with Senna taking the championship this time after Prost’s Ferrari was eliminated. The season saw Senna secure seven wins and pole positions, establishing his dominance alongside his fierce rivalry with Prost, culminating in a controversial but decisive victory.
