Legendary Rain Master

Senna was undeniably the supreme rain master in the history of Formula. It was astonishing to watch Senna wrestle his car to keep it under control when he was driving in a raining condition. Many would spin their cars, and others would just crash, but Senna had a mind boggling car control. It was due to his car control, speed, and driving finesse that vindicated him on being the rain master. No other driver would come close to his wet weather specialty. Senna's first team was Toleman, a team which was nowhere near against Mclaren or even Williams and Ferrari. Yet, in Monaco GP Senna showed them that he can drive beyond the car's limitation and beat most of his competitor. In 1984 Monaco GP, it was torrential downpour and it really was a nightmare for most of the drivers. Many spun and crashed but Senna drove magnificently, and he was catching up to the race leader. It was 4 second a lap slashed out of Prost's time. Finally they stop the race because the track was undrivable, but if it continued Senna would have won his 1st GP. This example was one of the many and surely there were more amazing feat he accomplish but this race made famous to the extent that he was regarded as a rain master.
