By dominating at Budapest last Sunday, Sebastian Vettel equalled Ayrton Senna’s 41 career wins. The Brazilian legend’s final F1 victory came at the 1993 Australian Grand Prix, his fifth success of the season despite driving an underpowered McLaren. The Adelaide podium also remained famous as it marked Senna's reconciliation with archrival Alain Prost, who had decided to call it a day after securing his fourth world title earlier that year.
