Tired of the charged environment and the political maneuvering behind the scenes at Formula 1, Ayrton Senna changed his habits. To avoid wearing down and becoming stressed, he would arrive at the autodromes closer to the start of the first official qualifying session.
Even with the fifth time on the starting grid, the anti-stress regimen worked on the first laps.
After the start, Ayrton Senna passed Schumacher (Benetton), beat Jane Alesi (Ferrari) on the first braking point and to follow, took Damon Hill by surprise.
But the enjoyment didn’t last long. As the magazine Autosport reported, “at Spa, there’s no substitute for horsepower”. Ayrton Senna was beaten on following laps by Williams and Benetton. He persisted to the end and finished in fourth.
After the race, his eyes fixed on the treacherous Eau Rouge corner, taken at 300 km/h (186 mph) and muttered:
