The man Ayrton Senna wanted to beat - Alain Prost. |
This was Ayrton Senna's first Monaco GP as Alain Prost's teammate back in 1988. Senna was outstanding and his lead was phenomenal! Suddenly he made a small mistake and crashed into the wall before the tunnel. Prost's position was 2nd at that point and almost a minute behind. Of course, Prost won the race after Senna's crash.
Senna was so furious that he didn't even go to the pits. He walked straight to his hotel room and didn't wanna speak with no one.
Senna said later that his confidence was hurt badly but became an even stronger driver after that point.
