Senna's Lada reconnaissance tour in Hungary

Preparation is the mother of success, and in 1986 when F1 visited the Hungaroring for the very first time, Ayrton Senna left nothing to chance.

So the Lotus driver asked a local if he could borrow his personal car, a good old trusty Lada, and drive around the circuit to familiarize himself with the tight and twisty layout.

The moment was captured by Zsolt Mitrovics who worked at the track as a member of the Hungaroring's rescue squad.
