Ok, before I go to sleep...

Among many Senna's victories, two of them marked the first and the last victory of certain technological improvement in F1.

Name the improvement, and those two races.

Active ride height. Start with Monaco 87 in the Lotus and end 93 the last race in Australia with McLaren.

I believe that the first win was at Monaco '87, that was the race before Detroit and where the Lotus 99T was already fitted with a fully active suspension. Anyway, I figure your answer is the right one.

I checked it with Wicki and the Encyclopedia right after I initially wrote Detroit. They both said Monaco. So I changed it and got it apparently in before you nailed it. I take your approval as confirmation for being right on that one.

Well done, I could have made a pattern with 5 drivers because I did not think of Brabham driving for his own team. So he was driver and constructor champ plus champ in his own car, quite unique. The other case of champ driver later turned into team owner also existed.

1. Brabham
2. Stewart
3. Berger
4. Prost
5. Suzuki

Probably Graham Hill and his Embassy Hill.
