1987 F1 Monaco Grand Prix

1987 Monaco Grand Prix: The Rise of Active Suspension The 1987 Monaco Grand Prix remains a landmark race in Formula 1 history, famously marking the first of Ayrton Senna’s record-breaking six victories in the Principality. Driving the iconic camel-yellow Lotus 99T, Senna utilized the revolutionary computer-controlled active suspension to glide over the bumpy street circuit, outclassing the field after Nigel Mansell’s early retirement. This race solidified Senna’s reputation as the undisputed "King of Monaco" and demonstrated the potential of high-tech driver aids in the turbo era.
