The story behind this photo

The inaugural round of the 1990 Formula 1 World Championship, March 11, 1990, on the street circuit in Phoenix, Arizona. Ayrton Senna, starting fifth at the wheel of his McLaren-Honda MP4/5B, climbs through the field to take the win. The Brazilian driver triumphs over rookie Jean Alesi, then in his first full season with Tyrrell. Shod with Pirelli tires, the Frenchman leads for several laps and even reclaims the lead immediately after being overtaken. This street duel remains a benchmark in the history of the sport.
