Senna mars victory by punching rival

-

1993 - Ayrton Senna won the Japanese Grand Prix with a superb exhibition of masterful driving, but tarnished his performanc­e by punching British driver Eddie Irvine in a fight after the race. Incensed by the Briton’s “unprofessi­onal” driving in difficult, wet conditions on his Grand Prix debut, Senna charged into the office of Irvine’s Jordan team an hour after the race ended. After a brief slanging match, Senna threw a punch with his left fist, knocking Irvine to the floor.
