The place where he was crowned and is still honored to this day.
Today's Top 5 tells the story of how our champion became the king of Monaco.
TOP 5
The Monaco GP is one of the most traditional in F1, and it has a charm all of its own.
The race, which takes place on the streets of Monte Carlo,
is considered one of the highlights in the story of the sport.
The Monaco GP is part of the Triple Crown of Motorsports,
alongside the Indy 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The race was held for the first time in 1929,
but it only became part of the official F1 calendar in 1955.
It's the shortest GP in the category, with a 3,337-meter track (2 miles)
and sharp corners, making it hard to overtake.
Its F1 debut took place in 1950,
in a race that was won by legendary driver Juan Manuel Fangio with his Alfa Romeo.
Years later, another legend showed up there – the king of Monaco had arrived.
So, today's show is all about six unforgettable Ayrton Senna wins in the Principality of Monaco.
His first win came in 1987.
Even though he wasn't a champion yet, Ayrton had shown his potential by almost winning in 1984
and racing very well in the following years.
In the Principality, in 1987, Ayrton started in 2nd place and kept that position until the 29th lap.
Nigel Mansell was in the lead, but his car started to act up.
That was when our eternal champion overtook the British Lion and scored his fifth win in Formula 1.
It was the first time a Brazilian won in Monaco in the category.
To this day, Ayrton is the only Brazilian to have ever won in the Principality.
One of the funniest moments in his career also took place in that race.
On the podium, he sprayed champagne all over the Royal Family.
In 1988, Senna made a mistake in Monaco that cost him his second win.
In the following year, 1989, he was in search of redemption.
During the qualifying sessions, he took the pole position by being more than one second quicker than Prost.
In the race, the Frenchman got held up by the crash between Piquet and De Cesaris on the Loews corner.
Even after losing his first and second gears, Ayrton Senna finished the race 52 seconds ahead of Prost.
That race made it clear that Ayrton Senna had at least one advantage over Prost:
it was much easier for him to overtake backmarkers in Monaco.
1990. To win in Monaco for the third time, he took the pole position and led from start to finish.
Still, the race was exciting up until the final moments.
The GP had two starts.
In the first one, Prost and Berger crashed, making a mess.
They were allowed to take their back-up cars and stay in the race.
But the Frenchman wasn't having the best day, as he ended up retiring in the 31st lap.
Senna was way ahead of the pack for the entire GP,
but he was forced to slow down in the final 12 laps,
after detecting an issue with his engine, allowing Berger and Alesi to get closer.
Ayrton was that year's champion,
winning his second world title in an epic showdown with Prost in Japan.
His 1991 win in Monaco was his fourth in a row at the beginning of the year –
the best start of a season Senna ever had in F1.
It was Mother's Day, and Senna gifted Mrs. Neyde with his 30th win in the category.
He started with his back-up car after having problems during the warm-up.
And something unusual happened during the race:
on lap 9, a marshal crossed the track in front of Ayrton's McLaren and was almost run over.
There was some tension surrounding that win, particularly after all his previous controversies.
He had to lap Alain Prost on lap 74, but the Frenchman didn't put up a fight and it all ended well.
Senna's fifth win in Monaco wasn't easy.
After all, the supremacy of the Williams driven by Nigel Mansell and Ricado Patrese was already evident.
Ayrton started in 3rd place and, right after the start, was able to overtake the Italian.
Everything pointed to a second-place finish.
But on lap 71, Mansell was caught off-guard by a loose piece in a wheel and was forced to make a pit-stop.
That was how Senna took the lead.
The result was a ruthless pursuit by Mansell, who tried to take the lead back from Ayrton.
To the joy of our champion's fans, he held on to the end and scored his fifth win in the Principality.
Today's Top 5 has an extra chapter for a special reason: Ayrton's sixth win in Monaco.
Only Prost and Senna had won in the Principality for the previous nine years.
And Ayrton was off to a bad start, that weekend, spinning out three times during the practice sessions.
In one of them, he dislocated his left thumb.
Senna took the 3rd spot on the grid, behind Prost and Schumacher.
His luck started to change when the Frenchman was penalized for jumping the gun.
Schumacher was in the lead, but his engine gave out on lap 33.
That was when Ayrton took the lead and raced towards victory.
He celebrated on the podium by showering the camera in champagne.
With that triumph, he surpassed Graham Hill's five wins and became the one and only king of Monaco.
Senna is still the only driver who has won five times in the Principality.
