1993 Australian Grand Prix - SENNA'S LAST WIN - The END... of an era

 Back in november 1993 when I was a young motorsports fan watching the australian Grand Prix, I couldn't realise that I was witnessing the happy end of the most epic Formula 1 era. 

That final image of the year when the two biggest enemies in F1 history, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna, shared the top level of the podium making peace finally, was emotional and could have been imagined by a fiction screenwriter knowing what was about to happen in a few months.

 The script was so perfect from a symbolical point of view, knowing it was the last Grand Prix in Prost career, the last win ever for Senna and his final race with his almost family team, McLaren.

 It was also the end of an era. In 1994, the F1 rules were about to change almost radically, introducing - after safety car in 1993 - refuelling stops making schedulded pit-stop  strategies much more important than overtaking on track, and thus races less exciting, banning all electronics and driving assistance, and setting many other stricter rules to make F1 supposedly more attracting, spectacular, safer and less expensive.

That day was truly an end point in F1 History, and the beginning of new times... not the best for sure... 😔
