🤩 Senna behind the wheel of a Zhiguli: how the legend drove a Lada around the Formula 1 track in Hungary
🚘 In 1986, Ayrton raced around the Hungaroring in a VAZ-2101. The owner wasn't even consulted—a colleague "stole" the car without his consent.
According to one version, Senna drove two laps; according to another, three. He didn't skimp on the Zhiguli to get a feel for the track. 😅
The result? Ayrton won qualifying and finished second in the race. The Lada clearly didn't hurt. 🔥
