- March 11th 1992 private Honda/Mclaren MP4/7 test at Silverstone Racing Circuit with interviews of Gerhard Berger and Ayrton Senna.
BRUNSWICK FILMS have the largest archive of the Mclaren Racing Team over a period of 24 years, today ( January 7th 2008) saw the unveiling of the Mclaren MP4/23
I miss the sound of those of engines. I was fortunate enough to watch Ayrton race in Montreal. I know him better with these videos, he was a true champion and patriot of his country.
Very lucky! I'm massive fan but never watched him live, always on the TV.
sometimes when i see Ayrton makes me cry
Ayrton was a man of such immense talent, focus and ability with movie star looks too.
As a supporter of Ferrari I have to say the Honda v12's were the best sounding f1 engines of all time, absolute monster engine
As an avid Senna fan and Mclaren supporter I have to say I still prefer the Ferrari V12 haha, just sounds a bit higher pitched and more special.
The Power of Dreams and as Ayrton Senna say...clearly a step Forward
Lets pray to God to make a deal we all benefit from. He gives us Senna back, he can have Bieber.
Peak 2012
Anytime
@@phillip4213 Lmao true. I couldn't find a single friend who didn't hate Bieber back then
Aside from being the greatest racing driver of the twentieth century, and being the richest ($400 Million American), and being the most celebrated and charismatic of F1 drivers, and being the most beloved the world over. . . . . The man was also the most Handsome.
oooooohhhhhhhhh yes
You are soooo right! Exactly the truth👏🏼🥇😍❤️
He is so damn handsome🔥🔥🔥
Think Schumacher is way richer that Senna, he’s worth is well over 600 Million right now and over time over 1 Billion €.
@@freddiemercury3882 yeah, but Schumacher for the most part in the 21st century. Also, love your profile pic and name, such a shame he had to pass away also.
The MP4-6/7 sounded so wicked!!! Best V-12 ever!!!
Wow what a sound!!!
Absolutely brilliant footage. Those cars were beutiful - what I picutre when I think of a gran prix car. I have always felt the Honda V12's were the best sounding engine ever.
First time hearing Berger speaking, his voice is surprising similar to Senna even the way he speaks. Seems they got along pretty well too. How cool is that.
They were close friends
I wish my Civic sounded like these cars ... -_-
It was in 1992 and they both were already so experienced at that moment.
That sound :o
Honda Sound V12 is 100% better then a Ferrari
@finalmind Well I think it was the fact that Gerhard took it a bit like fun racing in F1,whilst Senna always did everything in the book and even more just to be the best in F1. And as Gerhard saw that with his approach to F1 he cant beat Senna, than he settled to support him and that made them great friends I think. But still Senna must have been shocked a bit in Phoenix 1990,when gerhard took pole on his first attempt in a Mclaren and Ayrton was only 5th :)
Ayrton Senna, para sempre será lembrado.abraço a todos.Brasil
2:49 wonderful to see how meticulous when cleaning his helmet.
Yes, I love to watch him when he does that ❤️
génial de les retrouver ainsi tous les deux!!
Un grand merci!
I always joked that McLaren had an UNFAIR advantage over Williams...That advantage was god given talent....perfection what ever word you want to use....You put anyone who ever drove a racing car next to Ayrton Senna and they will never measure up...not even Michael
I suppose you have never heard the Matra V12 of the 70's or the BRM V16 of the early 50's.
Not all may like the shrill sound of the supercharged V16, but it makes a sound like nothing else.
To this date Senna was the last driver to win the F1 drivers' title with a V12 engined car (1991). So yes, people remember the Honda V12 because it was successful and won 13 races in two seasons.
Listen to that Honda V 12 Engine
They should've went back to a manual for 2014.
@chal007 Berger's car during this session was MP4/6B. Senna drove the MP4/7 :-))
Senna already knew that 1992 was going to be a hopeless season. The Williams-Renault FW14 was a better car than the McLaren in 1991, and the FW14B would be untouchable in 1992.
Thanks. I hope people from around the world continue to remember the legacy of this great man. We will never again see another Ayrton Senna. He was simply "The Best". best to you too!!
Fantastic Sound !!
Ayrton and Gerard the best F1 coupleof history.
1990-92 the best years
In 1992... Senna and Berger were DESTROYED by Mansell.
ziguigui22 only because the Williams Mansell used had active suspension
ziguigui22 the AS gave Mansell the seconds he needed to beat Senna
@@MikeGoesBadaBoom Mansell needed that. He was almost 20 kg heavier than Prost and Senna. ;)
Senna and Berger, Schumacher and Barrichello, Hamilton and Bottas. Great duos of history
You can see how much more aggressive and faster Ayrton🇧🇷 was than Berger. What a legend!!!
Berget did formula 3 for a year or two before going directly to F1. He never had time to develop his talents as a kart driver in his youth and didn’t do many feeder series.
His raw unrefined talent got him to the big show. If he had more development he’d have won a world championship 100%. It was tough being senna’s teammate though
*They pranked each other all the time, it was funny.*
Super boys😍💋
Georgous!
Jesus that MP4/7 is loud! What a powerful sound. Sounds nothing like the F1 of today.
I have HUGE respect for Mclaren.
Really damn good video quality
Senna got along with Berger because he knew that Berger was not as good as him. Michael Andretti said that he and Senna got along great, too, and he was nowhere near Senna. Prost was the only teammate to challenge Senna and we all know how that ended.
But once Prost left they became close. Two anecdotes: Senna was calling Prost every weeks when he retired. And the day Senna died, the morning he sent a message on the french tv for him. When both men started together in Maclaren, they had to meet in Switzerland. They didn't know each other. Prost invited him for lunch along with other members of Honda. Senna pretend to sleep all along the day for her lag not to talk to Prost and become friends. Prost was his target but he liked him. That's why he wanted him to come back.
The Formula 1 miss Senna!!!
Can you guess what Senna, Berger, Blundell, McNish and Palmer all have something in common? Their all lucky M-er F-er's!!! My apologies for the vulgarity.
The video in the link is the pole lap for the 89 Suzuka GP, and one of the best onboards of Senna in the V10 powered Mclaren. To me, the V10 produces a more huanting almost phantom like howl. When my Dad wathced that clip on one of my DVD's, he remarked "that sound is what I hear when I think of Senna". There is nothing like the scream a 12 cylender Honda GP engine - it sounds like power.
McNish was a test driver for McLaren??? Awesome, McNish drives the Audi Sport R18 now.
Super Berger und Senna 🏎
where can is see this car in real live damn
2:50 the legend
Best looking car of all times
Thank you for posting this. Instant Fav.
Awesome Footage!!!
Did you already forget all the comments made in this video about how Senna and Berger got along so well? They were in a competitive environment too, weren't they?
McProst? Is that why Lauda and Senna were hired to drive for the team, to back up Prost? Of course not. Prost never ran that team. Drivers don't run teams.
@Fismaluco One of the greatest F1 drivers that ever lived. Champion in 1988, 1990 and 1991. Died in 1994 while leading the San Marino Grand Prix.
I love Senna. I hate his fans.
the sound of f1, between senna's car and berger's car are different...senna push his car in limits
On that video Berger drove the McLaren P4/6 (Honda RA121E, 710 hp)
when Senna drove the McLaren MP4/7 (Honda RA122E, 770 hp).
Senna had the new car with a more powerful engine.
Berger was a very fast driver as fast as Senna i think but Sena was SOOOO focused!! them between them over a lap was very small....but nearly always it was Ayrton who was fastest.... when Berger did beat Senna it was nearly always for a minor position! lol.....poor Berger went winless for nearly 2 seasons! only winning in Japan finally when Senna slowed down to let him pass...(although Berger did dominate the race before he was slowed by a broken exhaust!)...good vid
I remember at the time thinking that Berger would be at least as good as Senna, winning a few races, not even close.
Ayrton was quicker by Gerhard’s own admission
You're delusional. Berger was nowhere near as fast as Senna!
I think firmly that senna is the all time greatest f1 driver but Jim Clark would have put him in the shade such was his greater god given skills and there is plenty evidence to prove this. Even Ayrton regarded his as the ultimate driver.
i find the 2011 cars just dont look as good as these do, today they look to boxy with narrow wheels and high rear wings, almost like formula 3 cars.
Berger hat die gleiche Stimme wie Senna
It WILL be your fault if you go into a Schumi tribute specifically to praise Senna since the video is not about Senna at all.
Prost was not as powerful at McLaren as you make it seem. It seems that Senna fans always do that to make Senna's arrival and defeat of Prost to be much harder than it was. He was fired from Ferrari because he was complaining to any member of the media who would listen. Remember when he call the Ferrari a "truck"?
Sena can drive better than Rubens Barrichelo and Massa?
All world champions drove better than those two. Especially Massa wasn't as good a his championship position in 2008 suggests.
El mejor sonido de la F1 después del Ferrari 2004 de Schumacher.
wow !!!!
very good footages ^^
@gold333 Correct!!! It should be MP4/6B.
*for me there is nothing like the scream a 12 cylender Honda GP engine produces-it sounds like power.
It is an MP4/6B, not an MP4/7. The MP4/7 was introduced at the Braziliam GP on april 5th 1992.
@lostwill86 Both :D. You probably meant whether the gearboxes were operated by a separate "lever" on the side or paddles behind the wheel and the answer is paddles.
Some say Senna was selfish... YET hes the only F1 pilot in history to slow to a stop and wave his friend in 2nd Gerhard through on final turn of a race once, just to enjoy giving his friend a win. Here Senna looks tired, strung out. He looks like he needs to drink plenty of water to rehydrate himself. I notice a bit of the Bells palsy activating on his lower right side of face.
It does SOUND better.
Aryton
@4:32 Senna clearly admitted that in a less efficient car, he was a driver like the others.
It is not admission, it is sincere humility.
@nicolecron
with this comment i see that you dont look F1 because got no idea about...
i lookt every F1 race since 1989, and the formula1 of today got more action than the old races...got many higher profi level than from the old time.
the races from 90, 91 and...was exactly the same boring or action like today.
but everybody who dont look F1 or got no understand about say the same like you...
DRS overtakes are not what's called action!
The MP4/7 has always been the most beautiful (Badass) F-1 machine, hell the most beautiful car of all time in my opinion. I remember thinking that back then, and it's even truer today . I've had a matted/framed poster on my wall of the MP4/7 since 93' so no matter what; I see something beautiful most everyday!!!
Totally Agree with you and with the Ferrari of 1989. Mp4/7 also has some of the most powerfull engine of the time but sadly the chassis and reliability weren't what they used to. If they had that V12 in 93, Senna would have been champion. The MP4/8 had a better chassis. They still managed 5 victories in 92. Without technical issue Senna would have won at least the Canadian GP in place of Berger.
I liked more the MP4/6
Lol, Ayrton Senna didn't really know what he was talking about when he spoke of the gear box. Bloody good driver though, sad he had to go the way he did.
So before they brought in the semi-auto gear box, did the F1 cars have a clutch?
Formula 1 cars still have a clutch and even a footpedal or a lever on the steering wheel to control the clutch. However with semi-automatics the driver only needs to operate the clutch manually when starting from a stand still or while spinning the car to avoid stalling the engine.
Berger drives a MP4/6
when Senna drives the McLaren MP4/7 (Honda RA122E, 770 hp).
Senna had the new car with a more powerful engine.
Actually an MP4/6B
Oops, I see the MP4/7 at the 2:48 sec mark. Great vid, btw.
O maior fenômeno do automobilismo que já existiu.
1:25
"Eh... Speedo?"
"Speedo da!"
Anyone knows why the air outlets on the sidepods are closed during testing ? Anyway, one of the best looking McLaren, best sounding engine and best drivers of this era.
I would say that's because it"s early march and it was very cold so the engine didn"t needed extra refreshing air.
Senna was pushing Gerhard's car.
E no final da história a Honda do ano abandonou a F1.
would love that marlboro coat senna has on
God Like Ayrton Senna
me too!!
My mistake, then.
Any chance you can get audio & visuals to match up @Brunswick? Audio is behind!
Mc Laren Honda was the safest and most successful F1 car at that time. It wasn't for no reason that Marlboro was the sponsor for so long.
were these semi automatics flapy paddle or sequential?
Paddle of course. Using a stick would've made no sense at all.
You don't know how many fans Senna has, and you certainly don't know if it is more than Schumacher or Prost of even Hakkinen or Raikkonen.
As vozes do Berger e do Senna são parecidas.
What an amazing sound, those cars sound incredible. Wish Ayrton stayed at McLaren, Frank Williams has blood on his hands.
2 practical jokers 🤣
Respect is not friendship. You know that. And if you think the duel between the two was imaginary, then that's your problem. There obviously was one or else Prost wouldn't have bitched about how Honda favored Senna and how Senna tried to play mind games with him.
Tschapan 😂
Saudades
Must be a real disruption hearing DAT SOUND while trying to figure out things with the car!
After Prost retired, you mean?
I´m 9 yrs old, who is senna?
The greatest F1 driver of all times
A F1 driver who died in a car crash in 1994.
My second favorite F1 car ever after the MP4/9. Great footage thanks.
MP4/9? Why?
