TAG Heuer Formula 1 Calibre 16 Ayrton Senna Special Edition 2019 He will always be remembered and never forgotten. This last year was the last one for Ayrton Senna. Senna nonetheless managed to finish the 1993 season as runner-up, winning five races and negotiating a move to Williams in 1994. In 1992, the Williams-Renault combination began to dominate Formula One. Prost claimed the championship in 1989, and Senna his second and third championships in 1990 and 1991. Between them, they won all but one of the 16 Grands Prix that year, and Senna claimed his first World Championship. In 1988, he joined Frenchman Alain Prost at McLaren-Honda. He made his Formula One debut with Toleman-Hart in 1984, before moving to Lotus-Renault the following year and winning six Grands Prix over the next three seasons. It was one of the saddest days in Brazil and many people cried his death as if he was part of the family. From that day, Formula one was not the same anymore. It was the sad day that the greatest formula one driver in history passed away in a tragic car accident. I will always remember that day on May 1st 1994 in Imola – San Marino.
