Lewis Hamilton emulated another of his boyhood idol's landmarks in Canada, moving level on pole positions with the 65th of his career.
It was the all-time F1 record from Senna's death in 1994 until 2006, when it was broken by Michael Schumacher, whose 68 remains the only tally Hamilton has left to beat in that category. In 2015 Hamilton equalled Senna's tally of three world championships and passed his career benchmark of 41 career victories.
The similarities between the two men go beyond the numbers, too. Both men won a championship with one of the most dominant cars of all time; Senna winning the 1988 title with the legendary MP4/4 and Hamilton the 2014 title with Mercedes' W04.
