World driving champion Ayrton Senna of Brazil, setting an unofficial track record, won the pole position for today’s Brazilian Grand Prix, the traditional opener of the Formula I season.
Senna, driving a McLaren-Honda, clocked a lap of 1 minute 25.302 seconds around Rio de Janeiro’s 3.1-mile Nelson Piquet track, two-tenths of a second faster than his own unofficial record set in 1986.
