May 1, 2021 marks the 27th anniversary of Ayrton Senna’s death during the San Marino Grand Prix, raced at the Imola circuit in Italy.

In the picture he is doing everything to outqualify Prost in the 1988 Portuguese Grand Prix. Prost, whose MP4/4 had a brand new, stiffer chassis, set his fastest time early in Saturday qualifying, and then sat out the rest of the session, confident that Senna could not better the time. Senna indeed qualified second.
