“After a qualifying lap in Monaco, you can´t analyse immediately what happened. You have to wait and recover before you can think clearly. But Senna was different. He would get out and start analysing it straight away. He might say the engine was not right in the first corner, so you have to increase the fuel mixture for the second. Then raise it more for the third and so on. When I was in our technical brief and heard him talking like this, I thought I was in a wrong line of work! Senna at Monaco was an extraterrestrial.” - Gerhard Berger about his McLaren team-mate.
