1988.godina je godina uspeha za Senu,konačno je došao u tim sa kojim može da dobija,konačno vozi automobil koji može da konkuriše ostalima.Airton I McLaren su bili nepobedivi tandem te sezone,ali bitka se nije vodila između timova već između dva vozača Sene i Prosta .Sena je pokazao da je sazreo kao vozač I uspeo da osvoji titulu šampiona-ono što je celog života želeo.Sledeće 1989.godine napetost u McLaren-u raste,odnos Sene i Prosta došao je u tačku ključanja .Cele sezone jurili su jedan za drugim od “RIA” do “ADELAIDE” kulminacija je bila u Japanu kada je Prost udario u Senu.Sena je diskvalifikovan i Prost je dobijo titulu u ruke.Ipak na toj trci Sena je pokazao svoju superiornost i moć da ogromni
vremenski zaostatak zameni za pobedu.
Senna je pobednik ...
1990. Sena nije srećan što na njegovom automobilu stoji broj ″27″ i očajnički želi da ga skloni odatle.To mu polazi za rukom ali ponovo ima Prosta za rivala.Sena beleži šest pobeda i završava sezonu u Japanu spektakularnim sudarom sa Prostom,to je odlučilo šampiona.
1991. Broj "1" ponovo se smeši na vrhu McLarena mp4/6.Sena je te sezone bio na vrhuncu svoje karijere,i sa automobilom kakav je Mclaren imao je dobre šanse da osvoji jos jednu titulu svetskog sampiona.To mu je pošlo za rukom i ovaj put.Sezona 1991 je bila još jedna u nizu uspeha Airtona Sene,od ukupno 16 trka pobedio je na 6,osvojio tri druga mesta i dva treća mesta.Čitave sezone vodio je bitke sa snažnim Wiliamsovim automobilima i na kraju magični Airton ipak osvaja titulu.
Ayrton je nezaustavljiv...
1992. Wiliams je u punom zamahu,Hondini motori jedva održavaju korak sa snažnim Renoima .Sena beleži samo tri pobede u sezoni i jedno drugo mesto-slab rezultat za Šampiona,ali je Sena u Monaku pokazao svoje neverovatne vozačke sposobnosti.Do posledjeg kruga vodio je ljutu bitku sa Menselom i njegovim "Renoom".skromni McLaren je samo zahvaljujući Seninom umeću ostao na prvoj poziciji.
1993. Honda napušta McLaren,u igru ulazi skromni Fordov motor koji bi trebao parirati Ferariju,Wiliams-u,Benetonu.Sena je znao da će 1993 biti teška godina za njega i njegov tim,ali on je izuzetno odana i uporna ličnost.Trkom u Doningtonu za Veliku Nagradu evrope to je i pokazao,po monsunskom vremenu obišao je osam vozača u samo jednom krugu i naravno.... pobedio. Sezonu je završio sa četiri pobede i dva druga mesta,pobedom u Adelaidi oprostio se od tima McLaren postigavši svoju četrdeset prvu i posledju pobedu u karijeri.1993 je prekretnica u Formuli 1.

1994 - crna sezona za Formulu 1
Sezona je loše počela za Senu,finalna verzija bolida Wilijamsa FW 16b stigla je dvadeset dana pred početak sezone,tako da Airton nije imao dovoljno vremena da upozna svoj automobil.Sena se žalio da mu je upravljač suviše daleko od njegovih ruku i da mu to otežava vožnju.Tehničari su odmah modifikovali letvu volana u nadi da će rešiti Senine probleme-nažalost to je bilo kobno.Letva volana je isečena i dodata je cev manjeg promera od same letve,to će na trci u San Marinu - pri naj većem opterećenju izazvati izletanje Seninog bolida sa staze i nesreću sa fatalnim ishodom.Sezona je počela trkom u Sao Paolu,Seninim rodnim mestom,pred ogromnom publikom Sena je imao želju da ostvari pobedu,ali to se nije dogodilo...U 55. krugu ulazeći u jedno od posledjih krivina pred izlazak na start-cilj,Senin Wilijams ulazi u "spin" i okreće se na stazi,bolid se gasi i gubi se svaka nada za osvajanjem bodova...Loš početak sezone...Druga trka se vozila u Japanu na stazi Aida,Sena opet nije imao sreće-od lošeg je krenulo na gore,na samom startu u opštem metežu Mika Hakinen ga udara odpozadi i izgurava sa staze.Sena je nezadovoljan,ovako loš početak sezone svakako nije mogao očekivati...Kobna trka na kojoj se jedna brilijantna karijera završila se vozila u Imoli na stazi "Enzo & Dino Ferrari".U petak na zvaničnom treningu u krivini "Varijanta Basa" izleteo je Rubens Barikelo i velikom brzinom udario u zaštitni zid od guma,prebačen je u bolnicu usled brojnih povreda.U subotu,takođe na zvaničnom treningu u krivini "Vilnev" gine Austrijanac Roland Racenberger pri brzini od 300 km/h. Sena vidno potrešen Rolandovim udesom odlazi na mesto nesreće i posle toga završava trening i odlazi u svoj "motor-home". Noć pred sutrašnju trku bila je paklena i puna emocija,o tome su knjige napisane....Start Velike Nagrade San Marina takodje nije prosao bez incidenata u kome su učestvovala dva automobila.Na stazu je pušten Safety Car i on se sa ostalim vozačima vrteo po nesrećnoj Imoli nekoliko krugova,kada se sklonio u stranu Seni je ostao samo još jedan krug u životu.....POSLEDNJI KRUG
Sena je dominirao od samog start-finiš pravca,snažni Wilijams je grabio ka zlokobnoj krivini Tamburello,Šumaher nije imao mogućnosti da ga na bilo koji način ugrozi jer FW16 je bio nezaustavljiv.....Nezaustavljiv sve do ulaska u krivinu Tamburello...Onda nastaje pakao,na samom izlasku iz krivine Tamburello pri brzini od 322 km/h Sena ostaje bez volana koji ne reaguje na njegove zahteve,produžava pravo i udara u zaštitni betonski zid.Svima je poznat trenutak udara,ta slika nam se duboko urezala u pamćenje i ostaće tamo zauvek...Lekari su sve od sebe dali da povrate osnovne životne funkcije na čelu sa profesorom Sidom Votkinsom ali Seni nije bilo pomoći.Wilijams ga je zauvek izdao i ostavio nas obožavaoce da doveka patimo za njim.....
Počivaj u miru Šampione,bićeš večno u našim srcima.
Season started very bad for Senna,final version of Williams FW 16b arrived twenty days before start of season,so Ayrton had no time to get know his car.Senna was complaining that his steering-wheel is too far from his hands and it was complicating his drive.Technitions immediately modificated wheel-lath with hope it will fix Senna's problems-Unfortinately that was fatal.Wheel-lath has been cuted off and pipe of smaler radius was added,that will in San Marino race -by bigest load cause emerge flying of Senna's car from track and accident with fatal result.Season started with race in Sao Paulo ,Senna's birth place,in front of huge audience Senna had wish to acquire victory,but that haven't occured...At 55-th lap,as he was entering one of latest curves before entering start-finish straight,Senna's williams entered the spin and was turning on track,engine is shuting down and there is no hope for gaining points...Bad start of season...
Secon race was in Japan at Aida circuit,Senna had no luck again-from bad to worst,on start while there was total chaos,Mika Hakkinen hited him from the back and pushed him out of track.Senna wa dissatisfied,such bad start of season wasn't expected at all events...Fatal race on wich one brilliant career finished was driven in Imola at Enzo & Dino Ferrari track.At friday on official training at Varianta Basa curve Rubens Barichello got out of track and in huge speed hit at protecting wall of tires.He got transported at hospital becouse of much injuryes.
At Suterday,also at official training at Villeneuve curve,australian Roland Ratzenberger died at 300 km/h.Senna visible shocked with Roland's crush arrived at crush site and after that he finishes his training and got away to his motor-home.Night before tomorows race was like hell and full of emotions,books were writen about that..Start of San Marino Grand Prix wasn't without incident too,two cars participated.Safety car was let out and with rest of drivers was turning around unfortunately Imola several circles,when he left,Senna had only one more lap in life...
LAST LAP : Senna dominated from start-finish direction,strong Williams was grasping to the fatal Tamburello curve.Schumacher haven't got possibility to imperil him on any way beacouse MW16 was unstopable...Unstopable until he got into Tamburello curve...Then,there was hell,ao way out from curve at speed of322 km/h Senna left with wheels that don't react at his demants,he prolonged straight and hits at concrete protecting wall.To all of us is well known the moment of hit,that picture is deep incised in our memories and will stay there forever...Doctors have given all of them selfs to return basic function with professor Sid Votkins in front.There was no help for Senna,Williams had treasoned him for good and left as funs to eternally suffer for him...
Rest in peace champion,you will forever be in our hearts.
