When Ayrton Senna punched Eddie Irvine

Max Verstappen called Esteban Ocon a 'lunatic'. Historically, if not diplomatically, this was an appropriate choice of word, Ayrton Senna having referred to Eddie Irvine in exactly the same way following a similar incident -- but without contact (on the track, at least) -- at Suzuka 25 years ago.

Senna was a triple World Champion and the 1993 Japanese Grand Prix marked Irvine's F1 debut. The Northern Irishman had been chosen by Eddie Jordan because of his intimate knowledge of Suzuka thanks to three years racing in the Japanese F3000 series.

Irvine's promise was fulfilled by qualifying eighth, several places ahead of Jordan's usual position in the back half of the grid.
