What made him so good in the media was how cool he was politically. He nailed Prost, but when it came to Balestre he made his point, but politely so as to clearly not bite the hand that feeds him. Well done!
I used to race SCCA at Sears Point and Laguna Seca in California...thought I was pretty good in EP and later my class changed to GT4. But watching Ayrton Senna...I feel I was nothing. He was inhuman as far as a driver....and I believe that there will not ever be another driver like him...HE WAS AMAZING...RIP Ayrton Senna...love you bro.
Ahh, Ayrton... You made the prophesy come true. I'm sorry I didn't realise the magnitude of the situation. Balestre is the mirror image of the modern day Mosley and all of us know both were pigs that wore gold rings in their snouts. I'm still glad for having seen you race because your skill with the wheel never betrayed your feeling for people on or off the circuit. A true racer. Adelaide, the world and myself miss you dearly.
I'm Brazilian, and I was also 10 years old at the time of his death. I wake-up earlier that morning as I did so many times before, just to watch my hero racing, because that´s what he was for my country, a hero. When I heard the news (about his death) my heart nearly stopped, and I went into complete silence and numbness for half an hour. After that, all I could do was cry. I cried for a week, and I am crying right now as I type this comment, just for remembering that morning.
one of the best...the way he used to shift gear, my god...pure technique. a lot of personality also. today the drivers are merely puppets. and felipe massa is not even close to be as great as senna was. RIP
He was the best that ever lived, like Lauda said. They did everything to prevent him from winning, but he still won and lots of times with inferior cars. And when he finally went to Williams they didn't want him to win it all, so they changed the rules (even though others weren't following it, like Benetton) and also gave him a horrible car to drive, which eventually killed him. No matter, legends never die! 🇧🇷😍👏
magicman, Senna was great because he was the fastest. When he arrived in F1, his 1st season, 1st time in Monaco he finished 2nd, after the race was called off by Prost. Everyone knew he was something special. In 1990 numberous magazines came out, with articles of Senna, one stating "Senna, a driver so fast; its as if he was sent from outterspace to mock mere mortals with driving". Schumacher only won because he had the best car, never had to compete against quality drivers, and was priority.
Senna, Prost Piquet, and Mansell, remember the battles, Senna was pure class the most gifted driver, Mansell the 'lion; most determined, Prost the professor, Piquet could run the clinic and then some
For who don't knew Senna was a very humble person. Always Humble. I'm sure, like the entire world knows, he was a Hero! and i think hard to find somebody better than him, specially these days where the F1 is becaming each every day with less competitive with more team work than individual personality. Senna!... this one was really a Hero! We miss you fighter!
Nice roundup of 91 from Senna. First time Ive heard his comments about the pole position slot being set on the wrong side. Not very big of him to blame the authorities for his actions at T1. He had no right to put the car there. Resigning yourself to an accident before it's happened is a big no-no in motorsport.
Still, even Hill could fight for the championship when Williams managed to improve the car and introduce a new model(by the 6th race of the season if I remember correctly). So imagine what Senna would do.
Senna would win those races easily too. Remember that Senna was almost A SECOND faster than Hill with the SAME EQUIPMENT. Senna would crush Schumacher, at least that's the way I see things.
Yes, Senna is as guilty as Hill up to the point that the leader in the battle decides his trajectory and can take the corner in every way he wants. BUT (!) if there is another driver who is overtaking (and Senna was merely on the same level as Prost) - the first driver should leave room for him. He can only block him if the second driver is behind and hiting him is not allowed...
Found it! First watch the legends Senna vs. Mansell in Monaco 1992, "Senna vs Mansell", 2:53 and then how Nigel is nearly break down at the celebration. "Senna vs Mansell - F1GP Monaco1992 - After Battle", 5:27. One of the top 5 battles ever.
Just for the record: when I said "for the very same reason" I meant: fighting for the championship. In 1989, Prost was so useless he failed to prevent Senna from winning. Senna succeeded at getting back to the race and winning it. Of course FIA figured that they couldn't let a Brazilian win the championship that time and simply punished Senna.
agree!! What a fights but always with full respect and fairness. And now the last boy scout comes back.... Everybody will see the differences what a real driver is. Watch the clip "Belgium GP 1992-the first victory of Michael Schumacher". Senna, Mansell, Patrese, Schumacher.. Or where Nigel Mansel in Monaco nearly head a brake down and couldn't walk because he was total finish.
Reminds us what Senna did in Brasil´94 without t.c.: a spin! Reminds us what Senna did in Suzuka´93 in wet and with t.c.: rookie Irvine overtook him! Reminds us what Schumacher did in Barcelona´96 in wet and without t.c.: a great victory!
@@TrickyMario7654 Estoril? Mônaco? And lot of races... I'm 48 years old and I could see "in live" everything! He was much better pilot than Schumacher, Prost, etc.
And when prost hit him he managed to go back to the track, make it to the boxes, change the front spoiler and go back to the race to WIN IT in the LAS LAP. FIA in a ridiculous move took that voctory of him, saying that "he didn't complete the track, "missed" the chicane while getting back to the track.
In fact Senna would Walk in 1994, 95, 96 and 97. Williams had problems in the beginning of 94 (the car was called a "rocket without wings" and "an accident waiting to happen", and still Senna managed to be faster than Schuey). Damon Hill and Villeneuve (poor drivers) got the title from 96 and 97. Now imagine what Senna would do...
Thanks I will check it out, there was another time when Mansell suffered third degree burns on his backside after a fueling mishap in the pits, the fuel seeped into is clothing, anyone who has had wet petrol on their skin will know how it burns. Despite that he still finished the race in agony.
But Schumacher makes the ferrari so fast. I mean he tells the engineers what a car he want to have . He helped the engineers a lot to build that fast ferrari of the years 2002-2005
Yeah, but Senna managed to be always faster than Schuey with that struggling Williams. In fact, critics said in 1994 that Byrne's B194 chassis (benetton) would be the car to beat. He would walk in the season with that new Williams car. That difference would be easily reached.
Schumacher did one of the greatest races in wet of the history, Barcelona, 1995. Not like Donninton 93, in which Senna has his Mclaren control traction and electronic aids. The real champion was Schumacher! HAIL YOU, Schumacher, Champion of the champions!!
You judge based on isolated case alone. Consider this. The federation were on a crusade against Senna since his early days and even more so since he moved to McLaren and disrupted Prost's lead in the team. Ballestre simply couldn't have that. A 2nd championship in a row was about to be decided in favor of Prost outside of Senna's control, what was he supposed to do? Not to mention Prost, as an year ago in 89, opened the door for a moment. Prost never complained about the 1990 Suzuka incident...
Off course they did, I remeber it, but everyone thought that th Williams car would be the same winning car from '92 and '93. But, as FIA banned TC and other aids Williams found itself in a problematic situation, since that cassis had been made entirely based on TC, AS and those other aids.
HI GT Speedster - aside from fan's blind back up,and not being myself a fan but just a F1 enthusiast,I can't avoid but saying that Senna was not a sportman overall. He could not be a sportman being obsessed by a sick winning will that's far beyond the reasonably strong will of a champion to score his goal at any cost=. Believe me:with no offence for his great skill and to all his fans =
Unlike he said, the 1990 season were beautiful championship if Senna didn't butchered it. Suzuka 1990 was just an example what was called stupidity by emotional amature. He just didn't want do the extremely hard race with inferior car in Suzuka1990. He knew that if Prost ahead of him and giving the same level of performance as previous year, he had no chance. That's the reason why he finished the race only for seven seconds. He walked away from the battle.
Ridiculous! They disclassified him because of 10 meters of road. And if he had turned around to complete the chicane an accident could've happened, since he would have to go backwards to do it. That episode made Senna so sad about F1 that he almost quit it. He didn't cause McLaren managed to convince him.
Yeah, he did drove Prost off the road, and admitted (not practically) it later. But he did what he did because in 1989 prost had done the same thing with him to win the championship. It was some kind of revenge.
Telling like it is. Great man. What do we get today? We get a bunch of corporate robots that are just happy to be there, and deliver shitty lines like "the team has worked hard bla bla bla" Nobody seems to care enough about what F1 is really about. The fans.
I've always thought Schumi probably would have won the 94 title even if Senna hadn't been killed. If he'd lived, Williams would have dragged its feet fixing the flaws in the car that caused Senna to open with three DNFs. Or maybe Senna would have forced Williams' hand the same way he did with McLaren's subpar '91 car in midseason. Who knows? I do think Senna would have won the '95, '96 and '97 titles easily had he gone on that long. Wish he'd had the chance...
So Schumacher was a cheat while Senna had balls. LOL. Truth is they both were tough, ruthless competitors. To schumacher's credit, he was never a crybaby: the name of his game was to hit and get hit without a flinch.
And everyone who says something about that should know that Williams car was a piece of crap at the beginning of the year. People should research about Adrian Newey and his March Chassi, how it was perfect in smooth surfaces and how it was a piece of SHIT in bumpy ones. He designed '91, '92, '93 and '94 Williams chassis. It was perfect cause it had active suspension, which corrected the car's height in irregular surfaces. But in '94 aids were banned, and Williams bacame a piece of shit.
if you understand why he's saying this its because of the then fia head jean marie balestre screwing him over to try help prost win the title buy refusing to change the pole position slot on the clean side of suzuka in 89 even though all the drivers agreed, in those days the fia was unsporting to senna so he reacts justifiably
My quality drivers; Which drive did Schumacher ever have in his team, that was any good? If he had Mika Hakkinen in his team - his pretty little record wouldn't look nearly as shiney. But due to McLaren's poor cars since 1992(Switch from Honda engines to Peugoet) Hakkinen's true potential was not realised. And Shumacher's was exaturated.
Senna could see no other way to win, no matter what he did on track Balestre would attempt to take it away from him off the track. It was the only option. Vastly different from Schumacher's actions which shall always smack of pure fear of other drivers, & losing.
well williams from 1985-87 = THE car. so we could perhaps add heaps to his totals. But would he get a drive at mclaren immediately after? as without this chance, prost would have dominated 88/89...
Do not like to badmouth such a great driver, specially after his death. But,...if we look at the records,...Schumi was better and,...Alain Prost, Senna's contemporary, was also better. However,...amongst the best 10 drivers in history for sure.
he could tell you a bedtime story you heard 1000 times before but still make it great. I love hearing him talk, such passion.
Right? +1
In my opinion senna was and is the best race driver I have ever known in all my life, He was a complete driver
I'm gonna agree with you,i think 1991 was the year where he really matured and would stop all of those controversies and spins around the track
Your statement is true...i admire senna.
Indeed!
I must agree. He drove so fiercely that it was other worldly. I see a bit of Senna in Max Verstappen.
Clark and Fangio, then the others.
what an intelligent bloke.....I don't know a lot about F1 or senna, but he speaks better english thna most kids in England today.
Real man, supreme driver.
A legend has passed on!.
What made him so good in the media was how cool he was politically. He nailed Prost, but when it came to Balestre he made his point, but politely so as to clearly not bite the hand that feeds him. Well done!

Senna and Prost were true competitors, true racers and both were the racing spirit in the 80´s.
That rivalry between McLaren and Williams made F1 a real good show that time
Senna, the best !!!

Score more than double the points of Gerhard, that's pretty phenomenal
3:18 “I hope this will stand as an example for the people that are coming in the future”. Let’s see tomorrow if Max and Louis learned the lesson.
He was such a great man, on and off the track.
senna the best
I'm monotheist: there's only Senna.
Number One.
even though i'm german but you're right, he's the best F1 driver in time.
As a Brazilian man i feel really good reading such comments. Thank you for supporting Ayrton.

Which drive did Schumacher ever have in his team, that was any good?

Actually Prost hit Senna in 1989. Senna did the same in 1990. The difference is that Prost didn't confess he made it on purpose but Senna did :)
senna watches over lewis
He should have been watching now the politics in F1....
Senna could see no other way to win, no matter what he did on track Balestre would attempt to take it away from him off the track. It was the only option. Vastly different from Schumacher's actions which shall always smack of pure fear of other drivers, & losing.
well williams from 1985-87 = THE car. so we could perhaps add heaps to his totals. But would he get a drive at mclaren immediately after? as without this chance, prost would have dominated 88/89...
I disagree, he didn't refuse a seat in Williams, there wasn't a seat available for him there, only for testing, maybe.
