The 1988 and 1989 F1 seasons were clearly defined by dominance of the Mcleran Honda as well as the emergence of Ayrton Senna. Senna was a master with Lotus but it wasn't until he moved to Mcleran and its dominate Honda engene that saw Senna win championships. Look he could made it back to back if it weren't for an incident with Alan Prost that saw the Frenchman win his third world championship. But Senna returned next year and won his second world championship.
