He won 3 world championships ( 1998 , 1990 & 1991 ) during his career which spans from 1984 to 1994. He died due to a car crash in the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy.
He holds world records in Formula One racing which are unbeatable till date. Some of them include most consecutive pole positions # 8 , most consecutive starts from front row # 24 & youngest triple World Champion at the age of 31 years, 227 days.
