Fascinating fact
Ayrton Senna’ s lap record from the 1993 Grand Prix was set by driving through the pit lane. The old pit lane for the event cut inside the Goddards corner and the race was held before mandatory pit lane speed limits were introduced, so when Senna was called in by his McLaren team for a stop which didn’ t actually happen, the pit entry, combined with the full speeds, meant the circuit layout was shorter and a new( unusual!) record was set!
