Year1985Memorable racesSenna’s first victory
Senna earned his first F1 victory for Lotus at Estoril in 1985. Rain made precision and sensitivity as important as speed. The result opened a new chapter: a promising young driver was now a winner. The event belongs to the configuration used before the 1990s revision, an important distinction when matching historical footage to the circuit.
