"Pole position is like a 100-meter dash. You give it your all in that minute, the adrenaline rush sky-high. It's what I consider the peak of the peak in terms of performance, the highest moment. I have already taken 52 and I hope to take many more." Ayrton Senna #AyrtonSenna #F1

The legendary 1905 Coppa Florio silver trophy by Parisian artist Polak Ainé. The "Coppa" would be awarded to the manufacturer that could achieve the most wins across the first seven editions. It was not awarded until Peugeot took its second win in 1925, the first being in 1922.
