When you ask your teacher what she got up to at the weekend, I won the WRC Monte Carlo Rally. We would have paid more attention! Congratulations Isabelle Galmiche, French rally co-driver and Mathematics teacher!

Born On This Day in 1960 in São Paulo, Brazil, the legendary Ayrton Senna da Silva. Regarded as one of, if not the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time...
25 years ago today Roland Ratzenberger, who was competing in his first F1 season for Simtek, was killed during practice for the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola when he struck a wall. It was the first death in a grand prix weekend in 12 years. He is very much in our thoughts today.
We've got a very special

for you all. We're going to be diving into our collection and selection some of our favourite images of Ayrton Senna, as today would have been his 59th birthday.

‘One of my last portrait photos of Ayrton Senna was after the drivers briefing with Michael Schumacher, it was a tense & wierd thing to photograph, everyone still looked emotional after the death of Roland Ratzenberger’
Brace yourselves, Kimi fans 😭 He's about to begin race weekend

What goes up, must come down! Team Vettel took some time out of their track walk this morning to run to the top of the old Monza banking. Our freelancer

managed to get a brilliant sequence of Sebastian Vettel getting down from there, that we've turned into a gif.

It seems crazy to think that Perez is in his 10th season in F1. The records say that his debut in 2011 ended with a DSQ, but it was a very impressive performance and set the tone for what we would expect from Mexico's hero.
There's lots of love for the 2011

and rightly so. The longest F1 race ever at over four hours featured rain, more rain, even more rain, and chaos once the race got going.

After the death of Roland Ratzenberger and injuries to Rubens Barrichello, the

paddock could not have imagined what was to follow on Sunday at Imola.

in 1994, Ayrton Senna crashed fatally at Tamburello, robbing motorsport of one of its greatest. 🌟
#SennaSempre
Okay, we've seen all 10 cars out on track this morning, and wow we have a pretty grid this year! Lots of new colour schemes, interpretations of the regulations and interesting car shapes.
But which car are you absolutely loving this year? 😍

Everyone at Motorsport Images would like to send its deepest condolences to the family and friends of Anthoine Hubert, and his Arden and Renault teams on this horrible day. Rest in peace Antoine. Here is one of our favourite photos of Antoine, taken after his win in France in F2.

A very happy 70th birthday to triple world champion Niki Lauda. Lauda remains the only driver in Formula 1 history to secure championships with the series' two most successful teams -

, and has also been a big part of
