He drive differently

He used techniques that helped the car to use the maximum possible grip, avoiding sliding or throttle partialisation

For example at Monza, in times of manual gear, he could switch from 4th to 5th in between the two turns of Lesmo, nobody else could, it meant gaining a tenth of a second every single lap and the pole position

For reference, this is how Senna throttle technique sounded at Monza's parabolica
