Michael Can't Catch Senna

Michael will never catch up, with 63 poles he is just two poles behind Senna. Yes, the point is the record and there is a chance Michael can put his name on the top of that chart. But is the record broken? Senna had 65 poles in 161 starts, on the pole for 40% of his starts. Michael at 63 poles and 217 starts, sat on the pole for 29% of his starts and that decreases every time he starts. I don’t want to diminish what Michael has accomplished by unfair comparisons but they did race against each other and while Senna was alive Michael never took a pole.
