Well Ayrton was supreme in what he wanted to be
in what I wanted to be
what any race car driver wants to be
Well some driver have a lot more success than others
and Ayrton was on top of his game
three time World Champion
he was just excellent in what he did
and I think the biggest thing that must have shook everybody is... and myself included.
I regarded Ayrton - perhaps with a couple of other people - as bullet proof.
And when something happens like this
It makes you realize how valuable life is and what risks we do take
Certainly my racing career is one of the best of the best
Its difficult to ask a driver who is the best of anyone time
but there is no question that Ayrton was just ...
didn't leave any stone un-turned and he milked every bit of speed of every car he ever drove
and if he wasn't winning, then he wasn't happy
and when you are competitive like that its extraordinary.
What he achieved in his career is just pretty phenomenal and
he would have achieved a considerably amount more.
I know Ayrton will be missed mostly for his absolute brilliance
his dynamic driving and being one of the few drivers in recent years to just show an extraordinary talent in the car to be able to get that last bit of speed of the car in corners and I feel Ayrton like
to share something very special in similar ways that... I can tell you that even being across this side of the Atlantic that... I just can not find the words, except...
To all his friends, to all his fans, to all his family and.. to Roland [Ratzemberger] as well... and I might add to the Williams Team. I've driven for them for six years, so... I know how they must be feeling.
My sincere condolences.
He won't be with us but he will be never forgotten.

What a sportsman...I remember Mansell giving Senna a lift back...real men, real racers, real heros
That was indeed an epic moment in F1 history. I remember that vividly. 1991, so I was 17 back then.
Well said mate!😃👍🏻
1991 British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Brilliant moment. They had their differences earlier in their careers, but they sorted it out, and respected each other hugely.
agree
Healthy rivalry, the ones that make you be better.
A Lion and a gentleman - always respected Mansell.
Ayrton said that Nigel was the only driver who would appear in both mirrors at the same time and you never knew which side he was going to make a move on... 1 man he really did respect.
I don't know how anyone could say they preferred Piquet to Mansell. Nigel was a true gentleman despite his hot headed moments but Nelson just never seemed to give the impression that he gave a sh*t about anyone other than himself.
@@jacobmassey3897 In my humble opinion, those things he said about Senna, about Nigel and his wife, perfectly reflects the character of the man.
@@jacobmassey3897 i'm a brazillian, and he is a pain in the ass. Self centered person
@@andandocommauromotozono5202 He still ended Senna's reign.
Nigel Mansell = big heart and gentleman
He sent a letter to Senna's Family with $ 15.000,00 to foundation Senna ( destinated to help a childreen poor in Brazil ) and he's said very proud because to competiton against Senna ( in your opinion , a great driver).
Regards from Brazil 🇧🇷
( sorry my english - I'm learning a few months ago )
Top drivers and beautiful souls both Senna and Nigel.
your English is perfect !
Their battles on the track made them both greater. Of course to beat Senna was the dream of every F1 driver and gave Nigel some of his greatest moments when they happened.
@@joycegibbs5267❤ ☺️ his English is pretty damn good!
A fine tribute from Nigel Mansell.
A very fitting tribute.
Nigel knew the dangers as much as anyone else. He’d almost been killed in a crash at Phoenix the previous year, and was practicing at 220mph + at Indianapolis when this happened, where the risk was arguably higher.
Never seen this before. What a gentleman Nigel Mansell. He truly was on the verge of tears.
I think that's a bit over the top. He clearly wasn't on the verge of tears. And, he always had his issues with Senna. Nonetheless, these are nice words, and a lot of respect for a fellow driver.
@@chakko007 There is a lot of reserved British stiff upper lip and all that going on there you miss that in his body language. When he looks down it is because he is struggling to convey feelings.
Mansell, Barrichello, Prost, and others ... Senna s friends out of tracks
Yes...unlike the little boys in F1 now......
Vidi se na Mansellu da mu je teško i žao. Senna i Mansell su imali dosta problema i svađa na stazi ali britancu je bilo uistinu žao
im brasilian .. but nigel mansel is a gentleman.. and one of the greateast drivers.. he was aweomse.. as driver and as person! miss the old times!
Very well said Sir, from a Brit, and Senna and Mansell fan.
Todays champions d'ont seem as real to me as Senna and Mansell, of that era. Senna was an extra special talent and great to watch.
F1 was great back then
Thanks - was a big fan of both Senna and Our UK Nigel;
Massive respect for Nigel
Mansell was a driver's driver and a man's man. A true champion, one of the all time greatest talents the sport will ever see. He looked at Senna as the all time greatest of the greats. True superior sportsmen demanding every ounce of respect for themselves and each other.
He whinged a lot too, but then again he's from Birmingham ...
@@rorykeegan1895 lol
Huge respect for Nigel Mansell. I remember when he left F1 and came to north america to do the indy series and he made the existing indy drivers of the day look like absolute incompetent novices. "Mansell was a driver's driver and a man's man.", can't think of a better way to describe him.
@@TailSpin46 Thank you, I couldn't agree more. Mansell is one of the purest natural talents the sport ever saw. He was similar to Jim Clark because they both came to racing from an entirely different background. Neither pursued racing from an early age, Clark was a sheep herder and mechanic for his friend who raced. Mansell was an aerospace engineer, both drivers transitioned into racing.
@@KaDuWinyes he also reminds me of Jim Clarke, both natural talent and courage of lions, but also drove respectfully - gentlemanly
Very heart felt from Mansell. You can hear the pain in his voice as the interview went on.
I lived that golden times and considered Mansell as exciting as Senna, a truly beast in a racing car. He was the toughest Senna rival IMO. Love from Brazil.
Era muito novo, então o que vi não era ao vivo. Mas pelo que vi, rivalidade boa onde um puxava o outro. 2 lendas. Era de ouro da F1.
absolutely Mansell vs Senna was the best era, they entertained and drove their hearts out for the sport, Senna the best and Mansell was just incredibly fast, and durable I do feel that Mansell helped Senna be the very the best just through their racing, so close as it was. these two for me are the epitome of the sport.... wheel to wheel racing, sparks flying holding their nerve at 200mph and still pushing each other to the limit.... it's what us F1 fans live for.
@@jjharson7344 Couldn't agree more.
Absolutely. 1000 % It was never Prost.....it was ALWAYS Nigel Mansell. RIP Aryton
Todo mundo diz que Mansell era afoito e que o nervosismo atrapalhava ele, mas sem esse nervosismo dele, ele não teria feito aquela perseguição implacável contra Senna em Jerez e tantas outras proezas. Ele é o piloto mais humano por assim dizer que deixa as emoções aflorarem enquanto dirige, acho que seria mais ansioso que ele tentando chegar na frente. Além de estar na história da F1, é um cara que sempre respeitou Senna e isso só mostra a generosidade dele.
The loss in his eyes at the end there... you can see his thoughts, a death on his track, in his time and place - even though he was far from the events of Imola, one can tell, this bit very, very close to his racing heart.
A class act, to the core.
proud to be from the same country as Mansell
Very nice words from Mansel. If Mansel wasn't everything Senna was, in my opinion he was the 2nd most exciting driver of that generation for the wildness of his approach on speed and on overtaking. Greetings from Brazil.
Senna, Prost and Mansell. Those were magical years with these guys.
Obrigado por saus amavais palavras sobre Mansell 🙏🏼 From the UK 🇬🇧
I watched him at Adelaide in 86 . He very nearly won the Championship that weekend. Sat Afternoon on the long Adelaide straight . Coming into the hairpin he was the only driver who used every gear . He was on fire that Weekend & a tyre let him down at full tilt . Nigel kept that car straight, so impressive.
Mansell was quite unfortunate not to win 3 or 4 world titles.
For pure speed only Senna was faster than him in the 80's.
@@Coxy_Wrecked Really but sometimes Mansell was closest if not quicker. In the race at Goodwood. I think Senna was in a class of his own. 86 was a fantastic year Piquet, Mansel , Senna, Prost, & all fighting for the Championship. Adelaide was incredible that year, that last race
As a 24 year old man I literally cried when Senna died. The best pure racing driver I've had the pleasure to follow. I'll always have room in my heart for the pain I felt when he passed.
If your 24 you weren't even born when he died
@@leecomber1062 I read that as he was 24 in 1994 .....
Yeah. I was only 16 but Senna had been my idol since I started watching F1 in 1987. I remember seeing the crash live on TV as if it was yesterday and thinking that it didn't look too bad. When the car came to a stop it then started to look serious but Senna's head movement still gave some hope that he was at least alive. Of course we now know that he was already brain dead at that point but when the news came later that he had passed I bawled my eyes out. I began to re evaluate F1 - how could the show have just carried on after Roland's passing the day before? I missed the next few races as I couldn't bring myself to watch but eventually did and the sense of loss only grew without Senna. Remember wondering who the hell could even take that seat after Imola and Mansell - another giant stepped in before Coulthard. 1994 was a tough year for an F1 fan who was also into grunge as it was then - Senna's death coming only a month after another paragon passed - Cobain. The Senna film of 2010 did Ayrton justice although a film of him in 1991 focusing on his lifestyle off track was even more enlightening - little wonder the man is still seen as a god in Brazil. Netflix are apparently making a docufilm on Senna - let's hope they do him justice too.
@@AB-kx4ty agree with every word
At 22 I was in and around the same age as you and probably following the sport as you were at that time, he had been my racing hero for about 10 years already at that point and watching him crash and later pass away was totally heartbreaking. I have followed F1 continuously since that awful day and love the sport but have never supported another driver, Ayrton will always be the greatest driver the world has known, modern F1 isn’t so much about the driver as it was then and although we have had some obvious talent, I doubt any of the best drivers since could have beaten him in a straight fight.
I mean Senna and Mansell were never the best of friends on or off the track.
But even so, you can see his genuine shock and disbelief that Ayrton was gone.
This interview shows that they can still have a laugh with each other th-cam.com/video/nLUcA5XIIhM/w-d-xo.html. Prior to the interview, they were hanging with in the pit garage
It wasn't about being friends it was all about respect -- which both had massive amounts for each other.
They weren't friends, in fact they had some notable on track fights, but there was always a mutual respect.
Mansell said he never saw Senna again after their accident at Adelaide in 1992
What A phenomenal humble Person. I always liked him back in the day, and a lot more now.
CART champion auto racing here in america was never more exciting when Mansell entered it after retiring from formula 1.
It was great seeing him race against the Unsers, Andrettis, and Fittipaldi.
The early mid to late mid 90’s cart racing was absolutely explosive and filled with talent and big names. That’s arguably where Jacques Villeneuve was at his peak too.
@@CSCRECORDSBC Funny you should mention JV. I saw him and Mansell shaking down Indycars at a test at MidOhio. $5 ticket IIRC.
@@DRMET Pretty rad. Early 90’s up to the split, Cart was a very very competitive series
@@CSCRECORDSBC American crybabies were angry that foreigners dominated, particularly the owner of IMS (Indianapolis Motor Speedway), hence the split and sueing CART to stop using the Indy name.
Best years for Indycar.
(He won't be with us but he will be never forgotten)....Absolute respect for the LION. Nigel top driver, great memories with..
Nigel’s final sentence was very prophetic, Senna will never be forgotten as long as Formula 1 continues to race. A tru legend.
They might fight ferociously out on track. But off-track, they’re just human beings that have massive respect towards each other. Absolute Legends!!
I spent a lot of time in France when Mansell was at Ferrari. Both the press and the public saw him and treated him very differently from the way he was treated in the UK.
There was none of the slightly dull, boring fanboy stuff that you still hear from a certain generation of UK F1 fan..... It was more a joy at seeing a real fighter in a fast but unruly car. Mansell was a treasure at the wheel. And usually (but not here) tedious and dull behind the microphone. But this is generous and thoughtful. Well spoken.
I was watching when it happened, I remember thinking to myself, 'something like that doesn't happen with Ayrton' like Nigel said, bulletproof.
Nigel that was one of the most wonderful tributes I have ever seen to a racing legend, your battle against him in Monaco was the best chase scene ever filmed in a Formula 1 car.
I was at that race. What a day! What a memory!
Decent guy - genuine respect for Ayrton Senna RIP❤️
What a gentleman
There was no boring race when Mansel was part of it. Maximum RESPECT Mansel the "Lion"!
Adorava ver F1 com Ayrton e Mansel ! Aquilo sim era corrida ! Senna the best e Mansel o Lyon !
@@joselitoalves2387 Era demais velho! Aqueles caras realmente faziam valer a pena ver uma corrida...era totalmente imprevisível o que podia acontecer...eram brabos contra brabos!
@@Gabrielnobre Bons tempos onde os Pilotos faziam a diferença e não as máquinas!
@@joselitoalves2387 Eu sei do que você está falando hehehe
Why the hell hasn't he been knighted yet?
Always loved Nige, although Ayrton was always my favourite (while my Dad preferred Mansell) & that footage of Mansell's Williams-Renault racing wheel-to-wheel with Ayrton's McLaren-Honda will ALWAYS be AMAZING!!
@Andre Pinheiro Cheers & best wishes from "Down Under", minna amiga!!
Hope you're staying both safe & sane during this awful time for all of us...Matt.
Nigel was one of the few drivers who could go toe to toe with him.
A great human being is Mansell!!
Nigel is a champion in more ways than one.
What a shining example of a sportsman, gentleman, and ambassador.
2021 still remembering Ayrton. True champions Senna, Mansell, and all that generation
I worked in F1 when Senna and Mansell were there, and I agree with Nigel when he’s says it was almost inconceivable that Senna would die that way.
No F1 driver had been killed between de Angelis (1986) and Ratzenberger (1994), and the introduction of the carbon fiber tub had saved a lot of lives.
I cannot help but feel that some people not destined to grow old, but to be remembered at the top of their skills.
Yes. Many of our biggest legends died young
Mansell was a superb driver, many people tend to forget about him because his only title was achieved in a totally dominant williams with active suspension, but the fact is... he lost 3 F1 championships for very little.
the 80s were the best period ever in Formula 1, you had an incredible amount of talented drivers and inovations introduced, from turbo, to suspension and even aero dynamics.
Alain Prost
Nelson Piquet
Keke Rosberg
Nikki Lauda
Ayrton Senna
It was extremely hard to compete in the 80s, not only because the teams were balanced depending on how they adapted to new regulations and changes in the cars
but also by the pilots immense quality...
What a decade it was!
THE BEST RACING EVER WAS BETWEEN SENNA & MANSELL GOLDEN YEARS OF REAL RACERS
Someone uploaded the full 1991 Silverstone race with Mansel on pole and Senna behind him. It's on TH-cam you want to relive it
And Prost. The Professor. Legend
I heard a story that after a race during which Mansell pulled off some very daring overtaking moves; another drive grabbed him between the legs much to Nigel's astonishment. The driver said "I just wanted to check whether your balls wear brass or steel".
@@63Baggies That was his Williams team mate, Riccardo Patrese after Mansell's blistering pole position at the 1992 British GP at Silverstone.
@@63Baggies I that that was Berger on the podium in Mexico after Mansell passed him flat outs around the outside but other comments suggest Patrese also. Either way - his commitment was never doubted and Mansell’s final sentence here was spot on, Senna ‘will never be forgotten’
Senna is not dead, he is just one lap ahead of everyone...
❤
😢
Bravo!
Love it ❤
Don't talk so much shite
I still miss Ayrton Senna. I was 14 in that year, when he died. I don't know, how I became his fan but I liked him a lot. And I felt always sorry, when Nigel Mansell couldn't finish a race. He was a good driver, as well.
God bless everyone!
Nigel meant every word of that. Nigel & Senna had a few skirmishes where they showed utter trust in each other’s driving.
Nigel is a gentleman. This was the best time. Were man was men. Senna and Nigel
Brings a tear to the eye watching this!
El León nigel Mansell, garra, corazón, valiente, arrojado y limpio en la pista
Ayrton was the greatest F1 driver of his time, bar none! Nigel Mansell was a real friend! He is a first class guy!!
Prost was better though. Senna never beat him. The title in 88 for example Prost had 11 points more yet Senna won the title?! Prost beat all of them and he made it look easy. Senna, Mansell, Schumacher all great but it was always drama. Where as Prost won giving 50% like he just did enough.
I think you will find Senna dominated 1988 winning almost all pole positions only to be cursed by breakdowns. In one race he was miles ahead but made an uncharaterstic driving error and crashed out. Many mechanical failures cost Senna finishes. Any race he finished, he won. Nobody compares to Senna.
However if Senna had learned to take second place he would have survived 1994 and won that title but instead he drove harder with an almost certain defective car.
@@irishguy200007 In 1988 Senna won the world title and Prost came second in the championship with 11 points more 🤪 lol. Senna never beat Prost on the track.
Senna dominated 1988 but for mechanical failures. Prost was brilliant at capitalising on mistakes and was good at gatheting points not unlike lewis Hamilton of the present day who also is clever at gatheting points
Senna raced to win
@@irishguy200007 Prost finished the season with 11 points more.
Nunca te vamos a olvidar Ayrton
Pure respect from mansell great guy
This kind of drivers dosent existe any more......
Mansel much respect, um a huge fan of Senna he os the all time greatest... But you sir..... You are for sure One of the greatests too.
Much respect sir....
Big enuff to BE litle......
Remember this awful day so well may 1st may 1994 I cried for days I loved him and was absolutely heartbroken 💔 still miss him
We were on a canal boat in Cheshire, having a few cans of beer in the evening when a guy moored next to us called over that Senna had died. I couldn't believe it, and bought a newspaper first thing next morning to check. Yeah, sad day.
Big respect to Mansell for those words, he meant them, you could see that clearly. Thank you, Nigel.
Nigel Mansell has put in words what he thought about Senna and was genuinely touched almost breaking into tears.
A fine tribute paid from Nigel to Senna.
And he still isn't forgotten and neither are u Nigel
Very touching, he'll never be forgotten
Respect between two giants of the sport
Nige is my namesake but was also my favourite driver..ever..misunderstood but completely genuine..and like Ayrton there will never be another
A class act Mansell.
Nigel Manshell, one of the greatest f1 pilots, says everything about Ayrton Senna in a few minutes. This is F1!
Certainly not forgotten.
...never forgotten...
This man is such a gentleman
An amazing race driver Nigel
Watched it live , remember the BBC cut the feed when Ayrton was being seen to, but Eurosport kept the camera on Ayrton lying there, a hot day it was that Sunday in England, I remember going into the garden to tell my dad about what had happened !
Great message by Nigel. From one legend to another.
Nigel Mansell was well spoken, humble guy and ridiculously fast and decorated as a driver.
Nice touch of Nigel to also mention Roland. His life and talent was just as precious as Ayrtons. I know Ayrton would agree - I think it was Murray Walker who said anybody who gets to race in Forumula 1 are in the top echelon of racing drivers, and by default sportspersons.
Mansel, uma das pessoas mais "humanas" desse mundo da f1, mesmo sendo a um bom tempo já, com certeza ele mantem essas palavras.
And these two came to blows, I believe on more than one occasion? And they still ended up as friends. That's respect, mutually. "My mate Nige !"🇬🇧🏁🇺🇲
Looks devastated for ayrton and roland x
Senna was my idol when i was a kid. Did not know much what this sport rly was about at that time at my young age, just that Senna was something special. Cried when he died
Most profound words expressed so eloquently by Mansell regarding his fellow rival and colleague.
Absolute class and respect from Nigel but I wouldn't have expected anything less.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 jesus our nige is such a special guy and this video really brings it home the impact from
that weekend. 😥😥😥😥its a long long time ago now, but goodness, it still hurts so much for all of us..even when i’m
racing in karts, ayrton is there ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This must be the only video on youtube without genuine dislikes (at time of writing)
Really shows the love the community has
These 2 guys had absolutely great rivalry on track and a huge respect for each other on sports. As a Brazilian I will always miss Senna as a sportsmen and Mansel as a showman... there was no boring race when Mansel was in a cockpit! Pure emotion on wheels! I always loved his driving style!
Class! We could use some of that in today’s F1.
So sad he is no longer with us. Thank you Ayrton for the joy you gave so many racing fans, RIP my friend. 🇧🇷🇬🇧
Funny thing about the 1992 season is that Honda were catching up to the Renault of the Williams cars during the latter races.
Nigel Pure Class of Man Respect
What a fine tribute from a superb f1 driver like Nigel Mansell classic British gentleman this guy.long live Mansell.
RIP Ayrton Senna
Loved Mansell spirit. He tried so bloody hard and finally in 92 it all came together. Senna and Mansell are forever iconic legends to me.
You can tell here how genuinely devastated Nigel was and although both he and Ayrton were quite fierce rivals having some very heated moments together on and off the track, they both had the upmost respect for each other and thought very highly of one another as racing drivers and as human beings.
It was nice to see that Nigel hadn't forgotten about poor Roland too and gave him a mention also.
Well spoken Nigel, Ayrton will never be forgotten, RIP champ
This Press Interview was hard for him you could see the emotions built up in his eyes they were Friend's on and off the race track this changed F1 .
Very fitting and dignified. I do get irritated by people who claim Schumacher wasn't actually upset.
The intensity, the passion, the determination, the skill!!
RIP Senna your brilliance will never fade!!
I loved watching the Senna Mansell battles growing up. They were both super aggressive, never gave and inch some of the most exhilarating racing ever. Even though I was a senna fan I developed a soft spot for mansell.
Mansell himself a machine in the car, one of the greatest. Look at his bio, and you understand his dedication.
great driver both in F1 and Indy cars!
By now I realize I'll never get over Senna's death. Don't think about it very often these days, but when I do, I still feel the weight and sense of loss.
Nigel was one of my favorites....i always liked his interviews
What A Very True Statement right at the end of the Interview.
Mansell senna in the same car. Mansell would be all over him and then drive away.
An incredibly underrated driver
Mansell is awesome.
El único León 🦁 de la F1 🏎️ siempre será Nigel Mansell (siempre diré que pudiste ser tricampeón mundial pero tuviste mala suerte en tu carrera pero al menos ganaste el mundial de 1992)
Respect for the camera man capturing this as he did
So nice of him to mention Roland (Ratzenberger) who also was killed the day before in practice. Both he and Senna were such wonderful men.
Mansell obviously had utmost respect for Senna
If it was the other way around I think Senna would say the same of Mansell.Both Lions in a car.
Watch the videos of them talking, there are a few around . Not saying they were friends but it is quite clear they respected each other.
. Secondly how they raced each other. Both had total trust in the other’s abilities so they were really wheel to wheel a lot . Nigel was a man I always admired & liked .
@@beagle7622 true,the real racer's from that era to me were Senna, Mansell, Berger,Alesi those guys were totally fearless and wheel to wheel they were the best of their time in my opinion
@@matthewlevett968 Mansell at the Nurburgring in the Ferrari, (late 80’s I think) in car shots were just amazing, I kept that race on VHS tape for years unwatchable now . He was outrageously quick through the chicanes.
I did not really like him while he was racing in F1 but then I had not realized what a true gentleman he was. His class surpasses every one contemporary driver.
Never be another Ayton Senna.
Amazing drive all those top drivers had back then.
Sports at its best, competition makes a sport watchable, and its amazing how driven these people are at there peak, and formula1 back then had all those highly driven people competing, and none more so then senna as we know.
If mansell saw a person as driven, compared to him, you know the person was a special type of person.
Shame that senna never raced against schumacher at his peak, just a few years apart.
What a fitting triibute from a legend to a legend. Nigel is missed, Ayrton is missed, Gil is also now missed. Life always has a way to put things in perspecive.
Ayrton Senna da Silva ó melhor piloto que a F1 já teve é terá !
To remember Roland too is a reflection of Nigel’s sincerity towards his fellow competitors/brothers😢💔💔
Met the man once and he is an absolute gentleman
