- To mark the anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, we revisit the events of F1's 'Black Weekend'. www.autosport.com/
![[Live] : ONE FIGHT NIGHT 24 วันนี้!! “จาร์เร็ด vs กุสตาโว”](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ENNA-fsT67c/mqdefault.jpg)
He is not dead, he is just one lap ahead of us
byGiNeSiToX very well said, the most beautiful phrase i ever seen about him!!! And I’m Brazilian!!!!
No. He's definitely dead.
@Golden Eagle He asked his engineers to alter the steering column so in some way his hands would fit better inside the car, as, spoken by him, his hands used to collide with the Williams cockpit every time he turned the steering wheel.
No. He’s in a battle for first with Dale Earnhardt
He died
"Let's go fishing"
Best piece of advice that was never taken
He was a fighter, never a fischerman!
When, in your mind, you recognise it what you are, you`ll die for it. No matter what!
Probably the realest and saddest comment I've read about Senna. I wish Sid handcuffed Senna to a seat in the paddock for the weekend. F1 will never be the same for me. Still love the sport. Never. Will never be the same.
In hindsight yes but who could have thought that such a tragic accident would happen, maybe if the Halos were in place he would have lived but its water under the bridge sadly.
He was one of the fiercest sportsman ever. It's not very well known but he liked shark fishing. Like very large sharks. The man was made to compete, no matter what.
"I will put Senna as number one"
- M. Schumacher
Senna is dead and Schumacher is a vegetable after a ski accident. I think MS would enjoy being there with him, instead of confined to a bed. Pretty sure of that.
One day Senna and Schumacher will be on the track again, in a better place to finish the race they started on May 1, 1994 and I am sure it that it will be a fight between two titans
@@bonniemagpie5166 Why do you say that?
@@portuenglish1, oh ok, I will delete it, sorry.
And now both are gone
Something was very off about Senna that weekend, even before Barrichello's accident on Friday he'd been warmly greeting people he knew in the paddock as though he hadn't seen them in years. The touching message to Alain Prost over the radio on Friday, the sad confession to Sid Watkins that he simply couldn't walk away no matter what the danger, even the look on his face as he sat in the car on the grid......it's almost as if he somehow knew he wouldn't leave that Grand Prix weekend alive.
suicide?
TheBaRolExperience 34....
No. He braked very hard as soon as the steering wheel broke. So he tried to limit the damage.
However, Senna was a religious man and on that day he had opened the bible at a random spot. The spot he found said something about him meeting God himself. That is spooky too.
Seniku Moonjewel He was really emotional after Roland's death, and even had an Austrian flag in his car. It was a sad weekend but not suicide.
That’s bloody scary
I never comment on TH-cam, but as Senna was my childhood hero, I feel like I need to quote something from him. He was aggressive, but he was not crazy and out of touch with reality as some people try to make him. This video tried to use this "argument" too.
"Because I believe in God and have faith in God, it doesn't mean I am immortal. It doesn't mean I am immune, as has been claimed. I am as scared as anyone of getting hurt, especially driving a Formula One car."
He was the best
He was properly religious and apparently he opened the Bible to a random page that weekend and it had something about him meeting God. GOAT (along with Jim Clark)
Senna was vastly misunderstood and in alot of ways today still is. I prefer to think of him this way.
God wanted to create a race car driver who was as pure a driver as there could be so he made Ayrton Senna and put him in a racing go kart at age 4 then when God needed Ayrton to come home he called him. Some say Senna knew he wasn't going to survive that day because of all the things he did before hand. Again I think He had heard God say..."Ayrton..its time to come home son"...
The proof is only this....there is no one that can do what he did, no one who could truly become 1 with the car like he could and I honestly don't believe there ever will be anyone close....there is your proof. You could not take the best F1 driver from today's or any other age and put him in the cars Senna drove and get even close to the results he could. When he could go out onto the streets of Monaco and be a second and a 1/2 faster than the closest car....and all while driving a manual gearbox car with no aero downforce advantage, and 1200 horsepower under his right foot....case closed.
.
I also don't like to comment however I'm obliged to say that senna was arrogant and thought he was better than anyone else, he would also lso do WHATEVER it takes to win even if it was dangerous for anyone around him
Suzuka 1990 says a different story… hated him back then(prost fan) but in the years after his death learned to completely respect him as one of the very few greats of this sport
I hope there is a parallel universe where at 3:14 Senna said "ok"
There probably is...
Before I checked the time stamp, I thought you meant when the race engineer radio's his driver (even though they didn't broadcast those then), and asks how they are after the crash.
well, the afterlife is a better place. Many mediums/psychics communicate with them. Getting rid of the organic body is the best thing we can do , once we realize, we have no other choice. We all die, anyway.
“I completely crashed and the drink fell out”
very Kimi moment
there is.
He was Brazil's biggest hero, this is a wound that will never heal, the pain is still there after 24 years.
Senna 's funeral was the largest in the known history of the world.
That's Pele
TheKestevon Senna is bigger than Pelé in Brazil.
Pelé is Brazil's greatest.
@@luke83rj You're an idiot if you seriously think that
I was a student in college during those days, I came to my dorm during the lunch break and turned on the tv to find the news about GP pole positioning and I saw the helicopter lifting and then I saw his car. I failed the exam later that day and balled my eyes out that night. He was my hero and he looked like my uncle who also died in a racing accident. It was very tough few weeks for me.
Where you from pal?
Damn that was a sad story to read rip to your uncle and Senna
you had an exam in a Sunday?
Lots of people loved him and felt cheated when he died.
🙏
Even though I'm 16 and will never be able to see my hero in the flesh, I still look up to Ayrton as someone I aspire to be. R.I.P Ayrton.
Kwagga same :(
That's a shame I'm sorry for you. Look up his first lap at Donington in 93 and that'll tell you all you need to know. Enjoy!
I feel you I'm 26 and he passed away Just before i was born he changed my Life and even writing this it brings tears to my eyes.
My first baby was born 4 days ago and i named him Ayrton.
He will always be a part of our lives!
This is beautiful. He became a myth and his legacy will live forever influencing new generations. Greetings from Brazil!
@@B-skidz huge respect man
He died doing what he loved, racing... One suspects he wouldn't have had it any other way. RIP Senna.
Not only that, he died in P1. 👌🏆
Stephen Tuthill-
Actually, Senna had many post-F1 plans, particularly plans to help the desperately poor people in his home country. Dying at Imola or on any F1 track was the last thing he wanted.
It still is quite interesting that given the option not to race at that weekend, he still chose to race... He remained a racer to the end.
Well said
Its probably better than what happened to Schumacher at least he died on track, unlike Schumacher
When Schumi and Hamilton both agree Senna is the greatest. Well there is not much else to say is it.
Victories are worth nothing close to exceptional riding
theyre just paying respect because everyone in the f1 community immortalizes senna. hes definitely one of the greats but both msc and lewis hamilton accomplished more
@@didickcheeseburger Different time periods different cars, can't compare just from results
Both very good and successful but quite boring to watch unlike senna
@@Xscapeplan01 the entire premise of this conversation is comparing senna to all other drivers from all eras. thats what it means when you call someone the goat. the only realistic way to make such a comparison is to say who performed better during their era and senna never dominated like hamilton or msc. hamilton has arguably had the stiffer competition in his career than senna as well
Me and my dad have been huge F1 fans going back to the early 80s. We ended up following Ayrton and he became our fave. When he died that day, me and my dad cried. I had only ever seen my dad cry one other time up to that point. I'll never forget that day.
Senna will always be remembered. When i see how he was loved in Brasil, and when they brought him back to be buried....I still get emotional to this day. Imagine an ENTIRE country mourning your passing? Unreal.
RIP - Legend.
Amazing mate! Where are you from?
Prost actually said in a French interview that the weekend before Imola 94, Senna told him personal things he would never reveal to anyone else ever, not even his family. This has actually helped him to get a complete understanding of their relationship and why their rivalry was the way it was. I think Senna knew, even if not consciously. The way he tried to fix his relationship with Prost in his last months was probably also the greatest gift he could give to his greatest rival, an opportunity for them to forgive each other and themselves, a last chance to say goodbye.
Prost ha contribuito alla sua fine insieme al carogna JM Balestre!!!! Sono complici del suo assassinio!!
One of the worst weekends of motorsport.
Barrichello's accident kicked it off, but it was like so many, looked horrific - but the driver escaped with minor injury. Then came Roland on Saturday, and that was bad enough - but Sunday was a horror all in itself, the death of Ayrton was unthinkable, but there was also the wheel bouncing down the pitlane which injured several mechanics too. The legacy of those three days in Imola will live forever, and also many drivers have been saved since by lessons learned from those events - the shockwaves are still resonating through the sport.
Formula one died that day. After Senna, formula one became a total joke.
ratzenberger and senna the same weekend? If this was in 2020 they shut down
I agree, this and le mans '55 are the two worst weekends in motorsport history
*the worst
The worst part about Senna's death was the cover up. It was clear something went wrong with the Williams. Tamburello was a fast curve and not a corner. Each and every crash prior to Senna's was the result of a car issue. The steering column failed and this is what caused the accident. What then went on behind the scenes to cover this up is shocking. Williams and the FIA both acted to make sure that the truth was not going to get out. Finally when it did it was too late to prosecute due to Italian law and the time that had passed. Yes Senna asked for the steering column to be adjusted to help him make the car better to drive but the weld on that column was disgraceful. Terrible weekend which could have been prevented but money mean't more than Senna's life.
James Coburn what do u expect Williams to do? Admit the steering column broke and go to jail? Maybe once they all die the truth will be revealed
infinityracing-za What you expect is for a racing team with such pedigree and professionalism as Williams to handle the situation with integrity and respect rather than covering up the death of a man many on that team called a "friend". It is inexcusable to promote such dishonesty, especially when dealing with the death of someone who was lost not on their own terms.
Ash Cuckum The incident happened on the second lap after the safety car restart you shoddy bellend, he had enough heat into his tyres already.
Many drivers in the same league as Senna have died due to driver error.. Not sure why its so hard to believe that Senna did the same..
ash COCKburn......you the noob.....we no what happened...fool
Every 1st of May, I still remember that sad day, since then. I cannot forget it. I was watching the race live. RIP Senna, Michael keep fighting.
Sorry to break it to you, but Micheal is no longer fighting. He is stuck in a wheelchair with his brain being mashed potatoe
R.I.P Ayrton Senna 24 years, there will never be anyone as good in the car, nor a person so good out the car again
Well, Alain Prost already was and Schumacher not long after him.
Prost was good but my opinnion is that Senna should have been the winner in 89
Prost came crying to his best buddy Bellestre
JK JK lmao shut up, you can't even compare Senna's style to the mediocries drivers you just said, he had a different way of driving, he was passionate, and hadn't he died he wouldve been a 5 time world champion at least
Mansell and piquet and prost were no mediocre drivers. as much as I respect senna, there was too much hype around him.
I will never forget this day in may 1994. It was like my biggest hero was gone.... I refused to watch F1 for the next 2 seasons, my passion in F1 was gone and still today I ask myself what this guy could achieve if there was not this fatal accident.
Please don’t call him one of the greatest in Formula One. He was the greatest. Ayrton Senna was the greatest F1 driver ever. Forever.
The problem with that is that there is no way of proving that and to just call him that because of the person he was outside the cockpit and the tragic way his career is unfair to the other greats of the sport
They will always be new Legends
Jim Clark was the greatest F1 driver of all time. He was Sennas Hero what got Senna into F1. Fangio himself said that Jim was the greatest driver ever even above himself. Out of the 76 Grand Prix he raced in he won 25 of them the other 51 of them he didn't win thanks to mechanical failures that's a 3.04-1 ratio. Senna won 41 of 161 races he started that's roughly a 3.92-1 ratio. Even Shumacher with his 91 race wins still didn't beat clarks ratio Shumacher was a 3.3-1 ratio. Does that mean that he only won with a perfect car? Certainly not! One year at Spa Jims gear box started to let go and wouldn't stay in gear, did he retire the car? Nope he drove one handed around the track the whole race and used his other hand to physically hold the shifter in gear. He did that at Spa in the Wet at over 160mph and still won the race by nearly 5 MINUTES. Unfortunately like Senna he was gone to soon and suffered a similar fate to Senna by dying in his race car.
@@raphboult8894 Agreed. He was the greatest driver of his era, though as a Canadian I believe Gilles Villeneuve was virtually his equal. Lewis Hamilton is the greatest of this era, as Fangio was of his. There’s just no way I’ve can be called the greatest driver of all time in F1. Too many intangibles (and even tangibles).
The best racing driver in the history of F1 is called Senna!
I love you Ayrton
SENNA was an absolute legend he can never be replaced
Hamilton is doing a great job !!!!!
@@linanicolia1363 Hamilton is one of GOATs alongside Senna and a few others, but he can't replace him at all. He pales in comparison in terms of charisma.
@@alexandrecl4331 well that's outside of the track I only look at on track
The best driving to perfect! Senna forever!!!
No he wasnt
@@flipflop4396 The overwhelming majority of experts confirm that Senna was the greatest. Opposite conversation is a matter of having no credibility.
@@ferafera2831 How do you compare 2 drivers from 2 deifferent eras? In fact Schumacher was the one bearing Senna before his death. This year on official F1 page there was voting for most influential person in F1 history by fan voting. Schumacher won it by mile, beating Senna, Fangio, Enzo, Ecclestone, Hamilton, pretty much every great sport has had. So i can freely say majority of people consider Schumacher greater driver and icon of the sport than Senna.
@@ferafera2831 Perfect!
He had a different fuel load to Senna and illegal traction control and was 2 seconds a lap slower with same setup and we know how good Schumacher was.
He's the best I've seen.
Senna and Clark are above anyone else.
I’d add Villeneuve to that list, with perhaps an asterisk. He was fearless, and brilliant.
@@fifthbusiness1678 Giles never won a championship though.
My idol and favorite driver of all time i was 9 years old watching it live on tv with my father who was huge senna fan, the day senna died , my father never ever watched another formula 1 race. Senna was ahead of our time, loved globally. We still love you and miss you Ayrton!!! Greetings from serbia!
Died while leading the race started from pole position. Needless to say more. Ayrton Senna forever number ONE.
Terrible to see the picture of schumacher and senna driving close behind him, knowing these two legends are now gone
Koen ter Heegde shumi isn't dead
Halo Gamer He's as good as dead.
Don't blame me, blame the facts. Why do you think his family doesn't give his fans any information for years? It's obvious that his condition is helpless. After everything was said and done, Senna was after all lucky to instantly die of head injuries instead of being comatose for the rest of his life.
ATTENTION! ATTENTION! SCHUMI WIDOW DETECTED! REMOVE ALL COMMON SENSE FROM THE ROOM! LOL
wolves cry too Jesus, you're a terrible person.
Sennas anniversary was just yesterday and I still think about him after 24 years. I was only 10 years old when you passed and I didn't follow racing back then but I learned of him in my twenties and have been a fan since. God bless Ayrton Senna and his family.
Died on a Labour Day, doing his job, leading the race.
Disliked by so many ... until he was no longer there !
True racing god !
I suppose what Graham meant was that Senna had a contoversial racing style and was famous to be quite aggresive on the track, so he had quite a large group of people that basically disliked him
Don’t use the word god to describe him. Its disrespectful to people who actually are catholic.
Daltira only catholic people have a god? And Ayrton Senna do Brasil will be always the god of speed!!!
Graham Clifton BOLLOCKS 1) only by opposing fans e.g. Germans and Italians, 2) no one wished death on any drivers. Without great drivers there wouldn’t have been F1. Anyone wishing death would have been a sociopath.
I STILL DISLIKE HIM !
*I dont know if it is because of his style of driving or his personality or combination of both but so many drives up to this day get inspired by him.For example I dont see that many drivers nowadays get inspired by schumacher or any other driver form that class.Senna was unique driver and human being despite that his wins and championships are less than a lot of other drivers. He's legacy will never die.The one and only*
Koullex u said it all m8 FOREVER SENNA
Koullex Schumacher was still racing in 2012. People who grew up with him are just entering f1.
Obviously hez the most talented driver in the racing history..
People know many Schumacher's wins weren't due to his skills but rather "helped" behind the scenes added to his immense skill. Ayrton proved it was literally his skill. I always "joke" about it, he could be driving a bicycle and still be competitive somehow.
@@pedrosilvaproductions Senna was the best driver in f1 but Schumacher was the best f1 driver. Put Schumacher in Minardi they would become competitive in a few years. Put Senna in that team he would leave next year for a team with the fastest car.
I watched it in live as a kid. It still gives me chills now. RIP, Champion.
The King. ❤️
There is so much more of "Senna" now than in those days. You can read, see and listen so much about him that I do not believe any car fanatic would not respect him to the letter. Back then, most of us, had access only for those few dozen laps. For many, that was enough to see true greatness, for others, they just looked for flaws.
His death is nothing compared to his life. Very few people in the history of the world will be remembered like Senna.
2020 is such a depressing year in F1. I yearn for the days of Senna, Prost, Mansell and Piquet once again. So much more competition (drivers and teams). Greater personalities and ultimately, greater racing. Ayrton transcended F1, yet his application to his sport was far and above anything seen before or since. RIP to The Greatest.
2021: *hold my beer*
@@AristoCat221 Hold my beer indeed
Even though some of the greatest are not in the sport anymore, do not take for granted the greatness that you are seeing and the greatness that is taking shape. In place of Senna, Prost, Piquet, Mansell, you see Alonso, Hamilton, Vettel, Verstappen.
Rip Ayrton always missed, never forgotten.
In 1989 the normally aspirated engines arrived and many thought that Senna would lose some of his amazing speed without turbos. But Ayrton remained supremely fast in all conditions. While going around corners he still refused to take his foot off the gas pedal, a technique he learned as a kid during his karting years.
Ayrton Senna actually believed he had the God-given right to win. His trust in divine intervention helped him to go faster than he normally could have. Being guided by a higher power enhanced his performance beyond what it would have been without religion. His faith made all the difference. Ayrton had an unshakable belief that he was fulfilling God's will.
He prepared himself better than any other driver before, both physically and mentally. He was an innovator in using sport psychology, physical, and mental trainer Nuno Cobra before anyone else in Formula 1. He used techniques to control his breathing and relax when he was becoming over-aroused. These methods allowed him to concentrate at almost superhuman level and get into the zone almost at will during races.
Gerhard Berger: Once he was focused he didn't feel any pain or stress. Nothing. Damon Hill: He talked about a state of mind he got into whereby he was there, but not really driving the car. Prost describes how, after a race at Monaco, Ayrton explains how he monitored his performance during the race itself: He managed to visualize from a 'third person' perspective (i.e. as if watching from outside) during the race and corrected his mistakes.
Ayrton Senna had the qualities to be the best racing driver of his time, and that is exactly what he was. His tombstone simply reads: 'Nothing can separate me from the love of God'
What a great driver, we probably got robbed of another rivalry that would have developed and made for a lot of fun viewing, senna/schumacher.
F1 has never been the same without Ayrton. The GOAT, RIP 🇧🇷🇬🇧
Ayrton Senna >>> Forever Remembered as the Legendary F1 Driver ... ♥️🌷🕯
I thought it was sure that it was a failure from the column of direction that caused the crash... I wasn't born at that time and I haven't see a race with Senna but I would be glad to see him racing, alive, telling what he's thinking about F1 today... But surely he was a fast driver and a legend, still today. Rest in peace Roland, Ayrton, Jules and Anthoine, and all the drivers who died while they were racing, and keep fighting Michael and Juan-Manuel, motorsport community misses you.
You are right. It has been proven and Williams found guilty. But they are too rich amd dragged the prosecution for time enough so there was no punishment...
Ayrton Senna brilliant GP driver taken too soon still sadly missed world wide
Rest in peace Ayrton after 25- years youre still the number 1
He couldn't have died any other way, RIP Senna you legend
He never thought he is immortal. Quite opposite. He was dancing on very edge with such precision that he knew price of mistake. That is why he put his heart and soul on every crash, for everyone. He needed to know reasons, it was in his nature. Those questions made him best driver (for me atleast) of all time. Understanding behavior, car, circuit, your own body in absolute focus to achieve harmony and become #1. That made him so special. My first childhood hero.
Forever young... always in us hearts!!! Congrats from Brazil!!! Rest in peace....
One of the saddest weekends in F1 history. My family are all Ferrari fans, and we all cried for Senna. We were hoping that one day, he would have been a Ferrari driver. RIP Senna, you were the best in your field.
OMG!!! The sound at 06:30 gave me goosebumps for the rest of the month.
Pussy
Right here Right now that is the sound of an f1 car you moron
@@user-sj2vg8hb5q Fuck off.
@Tyrone Taylor man you guys are triggered 😂
Honestly, it would have been more scary if there would’ve been a crash sound at the end
Undoubtedly the most charismatic F1 driver ever! Ayrton "Magic" Senna, the man who made his legend grow and is still deeply respected by young people who weren't even born when he died tragically at Imola!
Eternal person which will be remembered forever in many many years after his death. No one can be and never will be like Senna was.
I grew up hearing the chant SENNA SENNA SENNA and in the years since there is not a single time I watch a Formula 1 race start ESPECIALLY at Monaco where in the back of my mind I still hear "SENNA SENNA SENNA"....I don't see nor think another driver even close to him will ever come along...I truly think he was one of a kind and the world will never get to see his kind again. That I believe in my heart is the saddest thing of all, so many young people will not get the chance to witness the greatest of all time....AYRTON SENNA SENNA SENNA!
This may will be 25 years without him... Keep racing up there, CHAMPION!
Chchcu
27 now :(
The most handsome yet humble man ever ❤️Miss you Ayrton Senna.
Whenever I watch anything about Senna's death and his final, fateful approach to Tamburello there's a small crazy part of me that still prays he's going to survive that crash.... 😢
Steering pipe was broken. 100%! Was partially broken before the race started. Senna didn't make a mistake.
Simply the best. there will never be another.RIP
Bob Pirzada Yes u were right they will be safe by the halo
Happy Birthday Ayrton. We miss you. A legend to many. A hero to us all. RIP. 21/03/60 - 01/05/94.
I met Ayrton in England, at Brands Hatch. I asked him for an his autograph, and if I could have a picture with him. He smiled - that warm smile of his.. Indeed, the pain is still here. That's because the departure of the "best of the best" still lives on. .
Ayrton died 28 years tomorrow exactly on the 1st of may 1994, seems like yesterday and the pain is still real today. Rip Ayrton and Roland x
Senna is a National Hero in Brazil we will never ever have someone like him again. our drivers today are mediocre compared to him. Senna lives forever in our heart.
Today marks 25 years since the accident, although I wasn't alive to see him race, I see the impact that he had in Formula 1 and the people of Brazil. Rest In Peace Ayrton Senna.
I watched the movie Senna in a cinema, during the day shortly after it came out. It's clear a lot of people there didn't know what happened to him, as there was a dreadful gasp of shock when they showed his crash.
The Greatest F1 Driver absolutely
Ayrton Senna was and will always be the Elvis Presley of Formula 1. This is why he is still revered 24 years later
The5quirel what a great way to put it. Elvis was a legend, in many eyes the greatest of all but to many he was not - it draws debate. But he had charisma and will never ever be forgotten. Senna draws the same feelings
more like sinatra of F1
not the same
And he remains the greatest racing driver ever.
Watched this happen live on TV , 24 years ago. Have never forgotten that day.
walter henrique Holy shit man...how old are you now..?
Agrover112 more then 12 years old.
Absolutely killed F1 for me Senna was my absolute hero without him it seemed pointless, still feel the same now RIP Ayrton.
There will never be another like him. He was without equal behind the wheel of a racing car, and we were all so lucky to have been able to see his light burn so brightly. But, like all of the brightest lights, they are not here for a long time...yet we never forget them having been able to see something so very special and unlike the rest. Although I've seen many sporting legends come and go in my life, none will ever affect me quite like Ayrton Senna da Silva. He will always be MY world champion and the one that I consider the greatest of all time. Senna Sempre!
So sad. Senna was a great person and probably the best to ever drive F1
Greatest of all-time.
Still miss you Ayrton, my hero. Is it just me or did the cars look much better back then? The whole shape, colour/livery and even sponsors
made me cry, i don’t know how to explain how i’m feeling right now, just. pain.
There are drivers, there are great drivers, there are the best drivers, and then there’s Senna. A legend on and off the track
Já fazem 26 anos . Ainda choro quando relembro . Mas sei que quando eu partir , provavelmente ele estará lá para dar a bandeirada , muitas voltas à frente . Saudade.
Legend never die....
A legend simple as that the best EVER
Poor guy........ he remains one of my favourite drivers and one of the best blokes in the sport. R.I.P you will never be forgotten and will remain the fastest driver in the sport
If there ever was someone who had a god-given right to win, it was Ayrton Senna. Perhaps also Jim Clark. Both on the front row in my books. Both loved, always remembered and never forgotten. ❤🇧🇷🏴🏁
Sad dramatic end of an Hero. Each year 1st. of May I remember that tragic moment. Saw it on TV when I was just 12 years old.
Yeah me too, I still remember expecting him to fling the steering wheel out of the cockpit and angrily storm off. I never thought in a million years that he'd die - Of course it became more apparent after the medical intervention, but BBC cut to the pitlane, so the rescue wasn't shown. They read it out at around 6:00 that he'd suffered "brain death". Sad thing to me is that like so many, I saw him as a villain - there to crush Nigel Mansell's dreams. It wasn't until I was older and read so much about Ayrton that I became a fan, his quotes, the lap in 88 at Monaco - there were so many dimensions to him.
Mike M you explain exactly my experience with Ayrton Senna. I nearly hate him until that dragic sunday. 1991 Nigel lost against him, 1990 Prost with that beautiful Ferrari, and very often he forced trouble with Schumi, when he had no chance in 92 and 93 winning the title. But after Sennas death I became a real Fan of him. 88 Monaco, his personallity, his good mindset and so on.
I come here atleast 5 times a year
Foi um exemplo de vida ..um anjo bom que o nosso DEUS nos presenteou..sigamos o seu exemplo.. Deus abençoe AYRTON SENNA DO MUNDO..😘😘😘😘
Driven to perfection.
That means you wouldn't make a mistake that size, autosport
#SennaSempre
Sempre
The cause of the accident was known. His steering column broke due to the tremendous vibrations from the rigidity of the car. It was designed for active suspension, but the active suspension was banned for '94, so the car was too stiff and thus had too much vibration. The steering column was lengthened at Senna's request, and the piece they added had been welded in. It was not strong enough to stand the vibrations and that is what broke and he lost the steering on the car.
I've been following F1 since 1977 having attended the US Grand Prix. I've studied many of the former greats like Fangio, Clark, Steward in addition to the modern day and current drivers: Senna was the best. Period.
Senna Sempre.
Thank you mates for a brilliant vid like this one. It’s never enough to watch Senna-related pieces.
Not sure if anyone's gonna see this comment after so long, but I feel I have the need to say this:
Ayrton Senna used to race with a Brazil flag in his car, so everytime he wins a race, he used to raise the flag up to honor his country. In that Sunday after Ratzenberger's death, there were a lot of protests from the drivers for the race to be cancelled. The FIA, therefore, confirmed the race because of money, then the drivers went to the race agains their own will. After that Senna said to his agent, who was also close friend:
"Find me an Austrian flag. Today I'm not racing with a Brazilian flag in my car. Find me an Austrian flag cause I'm gonna win this race and I'm gonna raise the Austrian flag to dedicate this victory in honor of Roland Ratzenberger!"
And that's why a furled Austrian flag was found in his car after his death.
This man will *NEVER* be forgotten!
Um grande abraço, do Brazil 💙💚💛
R.I.P. Ayrton Senna. The good die young.
Thoughtfully done, thank you for this.
If you talk abt formula 1 you will talk about Senna that's the greatness of this man as long as there is formula you will be in our hearts R.I.P THE ONLY LEGEND SENNA
Had he known that Williams traction control systems would had been outlawed in F1...he would have won several more Championships had he stayed at McLaren...
we need a moment of silence for such a nice human and a skilled driver
My heart goes out to you guys for this one. Thank you!
No no no no
Senna was an amazing driver. My son is proof he hasn’t been forgotten. He is 9 and has been a huge fan since he was 4.
I still thank top gear for introducing me to this legend
My Idol
Always in my heart
Senna will always be my number1
Pressing F forever to pay an eternal respect
The steering column attached to the Wheel broke in his hands that's why Senna didn't turn his Steering Wheel and crashed head on in to the wall!
Wow Matthew, given that you've never laid eyes on the car that Senna was driving that's a hell of a statement. I wonder, Alan Jones (1980 F1 WDC) was commentating on that race and he noticed the sparks from the right rear of the car almost as if the tyre lost pressure or the suspension broke. A broken steering column doesn't affect the attitude of the car in either it's for/aft tilt nor it's left/right so how do you explain the sparks? If Aryton had braked the nose would have dropped, raising the rear and no sparks would have occurred. He couldn't have accelerated and raised the nose, certainly not enough to have made the car squat at the rear and even if he had it would have sparked on both sides not just the right rear. So, I guess you don't know everything about the accident and what caused it just like the rest of us.
@@SomeTH-camGuy Watch the in car footage!!! Short of holding up a plaque, it is patently obvious the column broke!!!
@@01270211136 Congratulations James you are obviously smarter than the whole of Formula One and the Italian legal system because you know what happened on the 1st of May 1994 and they don't. Maybe you should write a book and make a buck out of it. Or you know just bugger off and stop being a know it all douche that no one likes.
@@SomeTH-camGuy Let's all understand each other here, Both arguments are right, due to bad welding, the steering column broke and the suspension shat itself, he ended up in a concrete wall which wasn't suppose to be concrete in the first place, that suspension went flying into his head and his cranium cracked, but there's nothing to be sad about. He died doing what he loved and what he had faith on that God was guiding him.
@@SomeTH-camGuy The head of the corporation was condemned for 3 years and 4 months as I remember, but the warrant was only completed 13 years after the incident. Atleast we got justice.
have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence.
Nicely put together piece, thank-you.
Everything I’ve ever read or seen of Senna it seems like he was someone who was truly trying to push the sport to be safer. If he was around today, he would be proud to see something like the Halo integrated into F1 I think.
Senna Forever!
Thats very true!
