Ayrton Senna was the 14th Brazilian to drive in Formula One. His first race took place in Brazil in 84, driving for Toleman Team. Senna had a strong performance at the Grand Prix of Monaco, when he finished second, after overtaking many top-drivers, including Niki Lauda. The race was ended by the organizers earlier than it should be, due to heavy rain. Senna would probably have won it, as he was getting close to Prost, the leader, very fast. Ayrton was the 9th in the Drivers Standings in 84.
