Senna garnered 65 pole positions at a time when there was way more patity amongst the teams. Throughout his career, there may have been 4 or 5 teams with cars fast enough to be on pole. Rest in peace, Ayrton Senna da Silva!!
He did NOT lose control of his car. The steering column broke disconnecting the front wheels from his steering wheel which you can see on the on board of the crash. You can see his hands, the steering wheel, and the front left wheel, and it is clear that his hands and steering wheel went to full lock but the front wheel stayed straight!! This was proven in Italian court but it was too late.
