🔹 Historical Context
1991 Japanese Grand Prix (Suzuka) Held on 20 October 1991, the Japanese GP was the penultimate round of the season. Senna only needed to finish ahead of his title rival Nigel Mansell to secure the championship. In a dramatic turn, Mansell retired on lap 10 after a mistake at the first corner, handing Senna the title. Demonstrating both dominance and humility, Senna allowed teammate Gerhard Berger to take the victory on the final lap, cementing his reputation as a racer who valued loyalty as much as success.
1991 Formula 1 Season The 1991 season marked the last title of Senna’s career. Driving the McLaren MP4/6 powered by a Honda V12, Senna won seven races and scored consistently against Mansell’s Williams-Renault. His mastery in both wet and dry conditions, combined with McLaren’s reliability, delivered his third World Championship after earlier triumphs in 1988 and 1990.
