Senna' first race for Lotus at home in Brazil ended in retirement with an engine problem.
The fault continued to dog the team when they arrived at Estoril in Portugal for the second round of the championship. Senna had to switch to the spare car during practice until that one stopped with a clutch problem, further hindering his preparations for the race.
He shrugged off these problem to top both qualifying sessions, beating Alain Prost to pole position and out-qualifying team mate Elio de Angelis by 1.1 seconds. It was the first time Senna had ever started a race from pole position -- another 64 would soon follow.
He looked like a kid in the cockpit after he cross the finish line. I really miss him, and I was only 3 years old when he died. RIP Champ
