If Lewis Hamilton wins in Singapore next weekend, he will match Ayrton Senna's F1 record exactly with the same number of victories (41) from the same number of starts (161). Senna's final year at McLaren was not the dream finale he had hoped for, but his determination ensured there were five victories in 1993, with the last of those - and the final of his 41 wins - coming at Adelaide.
