European GP, Donington 1993.
Starting grid:
1. Alain Prost
2. Damon Hill
3. Michael Schumacher
4. Ayrton Senna
5. Karl Wendlinger
Senna drops to 5th at the start. Then overtakes all four before the first lap is over. And all that on a wet track! Arguably the greatest first lap ever.

Yeah. I'd place it second in the running (on a wet track). _________________ In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. - Douglas Adams (1952-2001)

There is some grainy old footage of Fangio, I think he unlaps himself and wins. That is the only one I have seen, on any track, wet or dry, that I would compare to Senna's. Fangio said afterwards that he did not know where he went (inside his head) that day. _________________ The Mountain is a savage Mistress.

When I have a chance....lets see, the kids go back about the 2nd of Feb. Then it will take a week to sober up, then another to find the keyboard.....(no more drunken tapping for this little black duck.....well, not often) _________________ The Mountain is a savage Mistress.

Legendary stuff. If only we could have a few more drivers like Senna and Fangio. _________________ In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. - Douglas Adams (1952-2001)
