25th March.
On this day in F1...
1994
It was the first day of practice for the 1994 Brazilian Grand Prix, and the debut of many new drivers and teams. It was expected that Ayrton Senna and Williams would dominate the season.
However, during Q1, whilst Senna was customarily fastest, he was only 0.2 seconds ahead of young upstart Michael Schumacher, but a huge 2 seconds ahead of teammate Damon Hill (who had been expected to be competitive, having regularly challenged Prost for pace in 1993)...
Everyone thought this must just be a blip, and that the real Senna/Williams combo would emerge either in Q2, or the race...
