Senna never won the WDC in a Lotus dear chap. All three in McLarens. First F1 race win in a Lotus, yes.

You are of course correct, I was quoting from the Corinthians website where I read it and copied it without thinking. Perhaps the auto-translate from the Portuguese is the problem?

Nice shirt though but.

Apparently each horizontal gold strip across the front denotes a GP win.

Just counted them - 41 so that checks out.

Anybody tried buying one yet ? I'm getting no sense from the sizing , 51cms chest doesn't seem right . Help appreciated

I only looked on eBay. I am not sure I like it and I don't £70 to £100 like it.

Is there a connection between the football club and Senna?

If you google Senna and Corinthians you'll find a photo with Senna wearing a white tee shirt with the Corinthians badge on it under red racing overalls.

To be factually accurate, he won his firs F1 World Championship race in a Lotus (the 1985 Portugeuse GP). He had won plenty of races before that.

I kind of think everyone knows he didn't get to F1 without winning a single race Eric

I'm sure you are right. But that is not what you said.
