Thierry Boutsen was very close to Ayrton Senna, who should have been his son’s godfather. The Belgian driver (163 GPs, 3 wins, 15 podiums) will have the honour and privilege, on Saturday during the Senna’s Career Parade, of driving through the streets of Monaco in the Lotus-Renault that enabled his Brazilian friend to win his first F1 race, at the 1985 Portuguese Grand Prix on the Estoril circuit. A first followed by many others: 41 victories in total, as well as 80 podiums and 65 pole positions!
