- 1990 Spanish GP. Ayrton Senna leads and Alain Prost tries to catch him. Their tyres are worn. Alain pits first and he overtakes Ayrton when the brazilian pits.
I would like to put emphasis on the crazy speed on the pit lane and the clothes the mechanics are wearing.
As well, the Ferrari's gearbox was already semi-automatic while the McLaren was still manual.
Pure racing. Enjoy.
What a privilege to watch that pitstop. Going down the pitlane at full speed, speechless
No rules for that year in Pit Stop..
Not to mention the pit crew on short pants and t-shirts LOL
Brendan McCallion and with one hand on the wheel for Senna
Yeah, well in hindsight, that was pretty dumb. I cannot even call this brave because even back then, it was simply dumb. No wonder the biggest safety companies exploded in the 90s.
Plus they don't even got helmets for protection. Incredibly unsafe
That Ferrari pit stop is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in my life.

The pit stop itself is better than modern F1.

for some reason, those POV views feels much more speed than in modern times.
the camera shook more. while the track sound is compressed & mixed louder in the feed
@@speedingmoto4013 exactly as it should be! Actually makes the experience much better!
F1 signature sound came from the air box induction mostly so having the camera/mic right next to it helps
The v10 era look the faster because of the camera angle
Significantly louder engine, shaky camera, tracks are bumpy, no power steering, vibrations are very visible, lighter and smaller cars. They look so much faster despite being about 6 seconds slower
"And some of the shifts make place in the corners, thats the problem..."
Ayrton - "Hold my beer"
"Hold my shift knob"
Being a lefty was a good thing to senna... He had his dominant hand controlling the wheel
“Hold my moccasins”
and my sandwich.. haha
and my sandwich.. haha
The 4 minutes of this video are more exciting than the whole season today... really miss the old F1. Senna in Manual gear box and Alain with paddles in the sterring weel? What about that speed in the pit.... AMAZING!
I hate to break this to you but its only people like you that ever liked the fact that the pits had no speed limit back then, everyone else in the pit lane or the drivers themselves didn't like it...
watching Senna stretch away into the lead every other race was just as boring as watching Hamilton win every weekend
@@unfortunately_fortunate2000 Well, as always, everyone only remembers the highlights from past years or eras, nobody wants to recall how 95%+ of the time were snooze fests just like 2023.
Looking back now these cars look so unsafe. Ayrton Senna will always be my favorite driver.

@@amineahmed536 no, u
Safe, or not safe. Doesn't really matter. No one lives forever. Everyone has to do die of something. Senna died doing what he loved and what he was good at. Some men have heart attacks and die clutching their chests in front of their televisions. It's a strange life.
@@revokdaryl1 My point of view of life explain in words.... Finally someone that shares my same view of life.
This is better than an entire season of modern F1.
How?

Exactly !
Exactly!!! Much better!!! Senna and Prost two monsters of fórmula one
You are a boy, these were men. I don't expect you to understand. Maybe when you've matured, eh.
Mother of god, that pit stop is insane!
wooow the speed in pitlane with a lot people here it's scary

Pitlane speed looks crazy now but nobody batted an eyelid back in the day, it was the norm...
Muito interessante ver como a Ferrari já tinha o sistema de câmbio no volante e a mclaren não é como o piloto fazia a diferença, Senna e Prost dois gênios do esporte.

Quel plaisir de revoir ces images, un vrai bonheur...
Pour moi, les années 80 et 90 font partie des meilleures de l'histoire de la F1.
Des périodes " charnière " de la technologie et un état d'esprit qui, hélas, n'est plus le même aujourd'hui...
I really miss this kind of F1. It was the best time
I agree!
Get off your rose-tinted glasses
The 70s, 80s and early 90s was the best era in F1. Right up to Sennas demise. Forget the rest.
falconeranatolia I fully agree!!
@@Spyker8921 they are not kidding the best of Ares.
The Ferrari 640 is the most beautiful f1 of all times with the McLaren mp4/4 and the march 88,89.
Watching Alain racing those years was always a master class of F1 racing, Le Professeur at his best, speechless. Best of his Era without any kind of doubt... Ayrton tried, despite using car as weapon in Japan 89 and 90.
89 was entirely prost's fault, he took a line not usually taken so that he can take senna out of the race, go watch the footage. 90 was ayrton's plan all along. Ask anybody with a brain the size of a chestnut they'll say ayrton deserved 89 suzuka win.
@@alduin2418 If Prost had tried the same attempt, Senna himself would have shut the door and rightfully so.
Senna had done a similar kamikaze divebomb attempt in F-3 six years before Suzuka, this is what happened...
th-cam.com/video/RIr1EJa7TP0/w-d-xo.html
Wrong. Senna was the best by far. Fact. Get with it and get informed.
@@Nisie23 Nope. Prost was the best of that era, numbers and results don't lie.
@@alduin2418 No 1989 was 90% Senna's fault, tried a desperate divebomb from far behind, and Alain rightfully closed the door, since he was in front and with the line's choice. Senna was never going to make that turn at that speed.
What a problem, Mansell allowed volountarely to Senna pass, but Alain jump in first place becouse that day was faster than Ayrton. I don't think that take under controll with one hand was a problem for Ayrton, is sufficent see him in Monaco with the manual up and down shift leverage. Alan is one of the most underated champs of F1 history. That's the truth.
Crixus Mauperthuis He wasn't underrated by Senna either. The only reason the rivalry existed was because Senna knew Prost was the only guy on the grid who was capable of beating him every time they raced
@Crixus Mauperthuis fully agree .
@Crixus Mauperthuis I think you are being unfair to Senna. He truly was one of the best of all time, but he was always pushing to the limit (like Stefan Bellof) even when he didn't have to. That's why he sometimes crashed, whereas Alain rarely ever did.
But a lot of drivers pushed to the limit, likely none of them reached his level.
That said, most people (99% of the general audience) severely underrate Prost. Prost was the Jim Clark of his time in my opinion, except he never had his own Colin Chapman.
@@ajunta2270 Maybe, mr Chapman was already old at the time, but Alain had Bernard Dudot, John Barnard, Adrian Newey and others...
@@ajunta2270 Alain was more calculated and safe and Senna was more exuberant and fearless, both of which are good attributes to have while racing
I wouldn't say the semi-automatic gearbox from that time was a complete advantage, it was the second season that ferrari used it and it wasn't completely good and reliable yet
it really seems like it was more of a proof of concept more than anything else that was rushed onto the car, although that assessment has the added benefit of hindsight but yeah, iirc it was this car that convinced Williams to hold off on introducing their semi-auto gearbox until more reliability testing was done.
Golden age.... real pilots...
Daniel R so Hamilton vettel Alonso ect... are not drivers ? Sorry but the 2018 are really hard to drive and I’m sure you put Prost or senna in the new cars they will be as quick or maybe slower... Lauda tried an f1 in 2001 because I said that it was too easy with the tc and power steering. Results he nearly crashed twice and was 15 sec off.
@@sulrac1830???? Bullshit... 😂😂😂 Hamilton and Vettel fans detected... 😂😂😂
Ms Patient lol my favorite driver is Jim Clark, and nothing is bullshit if you can’t understand that drivers today are a lot more physically prepared than before... any of today’s driver can drive the car of the past. Today the neck, shoulders is 2 or 3 times harder back in 1990 they’re able to go up to 3.5g in corners and today’s car 6g. Back in 1990 the arms needed to be trained and also the shoulders. But anyway I will not try to explain you, you’re probably a better expert than the team manager, drivers.
That’s nature driver’s. Today have a Nutella’s driver’s!
Godly drivers indeed, in godly V12s, but i wont disqualify todays F1 drivers
Prost the best.
Prost the professeur.
Prost la science.
these old races are SO much more exciting than any modern racing, im sorry. im not even nostalgic for this stuff at all, but this is real racing to me. the analog violence of these machines gives me goosebumps and the men who piloted them raced with and for their lives
Esa temporada Mansell más parecía compañero de equipo de Senna y no de Prost. Igual,El Profesor fue el mejor de todos.
I am glad because the professor won the Spanish Grand Prix.
Brilliant stuff.....I could listen to that Ferrari all day. That was a great season.
Both were greatest drivers back in a day.
This is F1
No shit sherlock
This was F1 :-(
By this stage of the year, the Ferrari was the better car. Alain, showing the patience and skill that makes him one of the greats, waits for an opportunity. A well deserved victory.
The Ferrari wasn’t better. It was unreliable. The only thing that made this car so great is the driver sitting in it
@@kayzenl7911 that is just rubbish. The driver may or may not have been better, but the Ferrari had certainly improved over the year, with Mansel winning the previous race and Prost here in Spain. Likely would also have won in Japan, and Senna knew it. Over the full season the McLaren was likely the better of the two cars.
Go back and read my original comment, maybe a bit slower.
@@monotoneman5980 Very true. I commented on that a few minutes ago. Ferrari was now as fast, if not faster, and reliable as the Mclaren.
Prost won the position in the pitlane.He was clearly faster than Senna there, and used the brakes later.His "1 second" was made there.
Totally agree. An incredible masterclass from Alain.
Prost 1990 season was brilliant, too bad Mansell prevented him from winning WDC
Holy crap 😱 How's that full speed through the pits though 🙈👌🏿👏🏿
No speed limit back then. The pitlane speed limit wasn't introduced until mid-way through 1994.
As the commentators were saying, Ferrari were also trialing the flappy paddle gear shifters. Ferrari actually introduced them in 1989, in 1990 they were still trying to get the system right. By the end of 1994, all the teams were using them.
@@LukewMorgan Senna entered Monaco pit 'cause it was faster... :) Then Bammm! Speed limit. It was after that Black Weekend in 1994 in Imola...
@@LukewMorgan pit lane speed limits were introduced in practise sessions in 1993. No clue why it took them a year to get it into races since safety cars were introduced in 1993, would've made sense to also implement pit lane speed limits in '93 too
These guys will always be the voice of F1 to me. I miss Hobbs, Varsha, and Matchett.
This is just show how good Prost is on strategy
"Now you're onboard with Alaaaan Prost."
Despite the semi auto gearbox the ferrari was clearly not the top car these years.
Those were the best and last days of F1 ...
Not having a pit speed is just amazing to see!
ahh yes the awful idea that lead to the completely avoidable death of a mechanic, that truly is amazing.
@@unfortunately_fortunate2000name the race
@@Twin540i I cant remember it by it was sometime around the early 80s where a crewman ran onto the track to restart a stalled car, then like nearly a decade later a a pit crew member was killed.
It might look cool but literally everyone from the drivers to the pit crews themselves hated not having a pitlane speed limit, I don't need to know the year and race it happened at to know having cars going flat out in and out of the pitlane was a massive & stupid oversight.
2 of the greatest F1 drivers ever! A nice time...
Fierce adversaries on the circuits, but once Prost stopped his career, and so the tension fell between them who were no longer opponents on the circuits, they had forgiven one and the other, and are close together. He was becoming true friends when Senna was hit in 1994... :-( Senna is a great driver but Prost was better sorry for the urban legend made by his blind fanatics.
Bernie Ecclestone himself, however English so francophobe, but objective and logical man, when he was asked in a recent interview, what was for him the best F1 driver he had met in his career as the F1 Boss answered: "ALAIN PROST" (and not Senna sorry for his fanatics). Because for Bernie Alain was the only driver to win his 4 titles of world champion and his 51 victories, having his main opponent in his own team, so with the same car. And in addition Prost was always or often disadvantaged by the teams which favored his teammate/opponent!
Prost won 51 Grand Prix and 4 WC, but he should have won 5 WC!
Senna who hit him on the first corner of Suzuka in 1990, while Prost left in 1st rank alone...
Result, that eliminates in this last race for the title Prost, and so Senna becomes (shamefully) world champion. Senna himself will admit 1 year later that he had voluntarily hit Prost to win the championship without running the last race.
And even 6 titles for Prost because the title was also stolen to him in 1984!
In 1984 he finished second at 0.5 points, yes only 0.5 points from Niki Lauda.
Except that both were in the same team, McLaren TAG, and the German engine manufacturer TAG had voluntarily favor the Austrian Lauda against the young French Prost!
Senna is a great driver sure, but he was not an angel, and he had no fair play on the tracks vs his main adversaries and so vs Prost. He was ready for the most dangerous folly to win. Prost no. Prost will say later: "I drove with 90-95% risks, Senna drove with 120% risks"
Prost is at least equal in drive to Senna. He was even better. It was just that he was not ready to take all the worst risks at the wheel to win, as Senna did.
To finish of course here, RIP Monsieur Senna...
I fully agree with you, Pandemonium Lig.
Jo Ramirez, from the Mc Laren team, said himself Prost was better.
Prost should have been world champion in 1990. Unfortunately he was not often helped by Mansell his teammate. (remember Estoril !!). And Senna should have been DQ after Suzuka.
Maybe Senna was quicker but he was taken much more risks and was driven at 110% of his limits. Prost was only at 90%.
Senna was often quicker on a single lap but during an entire race they were at the same level.
Except Senna did much more mistakes than Prost. That's why I think Prost was better. Not from far but a little bit better if we consider to be quicker is not enough to be the best..
Só lendas! Senna, Piquet, Mansell e Prost. Detalhes, Senna no câmbio até então tradicional e Prost trocando marcha no volante. Os mecânicos sem os tradicionais macacões e capacetes de hj (proteção).
I remember all of these days! Bob V & the J Biz in action. What a team!
Back when F1 was still fun to watch.
Bisignano is so exciting to listen to because he has to yell over how fuckin loud the cars are in the mix. Awesome production!
Inside the pit lane such a speed! Unbelievable. Anything stuck to the car like a botched refueling would be the end of the pit at this speed.
(🇧🇷Senna ⚔️ 🇨🇵Prost)
Professor deu aula em Senna.
real cars, real F1 drivers !
Bons tempos eram aqueles, esse pilotava muito.
Prost was decidedly far better than Senna. Not only he outscored the Sao Paulo taxi driver twice at McLaren despite team and Honda favouritism, but only abdicated the title race by being criminally cheated out on the first corner in Japan.
He then comes back three years later to show Ayrton who was the boss, and bowed out as the champion.
Funny trivia : Senna was always after Prost's cars - McLaren (invited by Prost), Ferrari (invited by Fiorio), and Williams (invited by Frank)...
Senna's first podium was alongside Prost, and so was his last podium.
Well, as we know Senna was obsessed with Prost, he wanted his set-ups, his cars, and such. The brazilian knew very well who the daddy was, Prost by far the king of that era.
@@fistoftulkas7335 So much so that he lost all will to win in 1994.
He looked gauche and out of place.
He was lost. Full of doubts. Without a purpose. Alain had been his target from 1984 to 1993. He lost his driving force.
That image of him under the Imola sun, in his car, without his helmet on, staring from the void into the skies above, with no mojo...
What a contrast with the fierce, reckless and dangerous determination he displayed under the pouring rain in Adelaide 1989 only three season prior, when he eventuality crashed into Brundle.
That fire had gone.
Did Senna had a few wins left in him?
Possibly.
Did he have a title left in him? Probably not.
Schumacher tried a comeback. He failed dramatically.
Only Lauda and Prost managed a successful comeback, as far as I can recollect.
Senna and Prost will always be each others top rival!!!! You can see prost stayed with senna through the curve as he was entering the pits!!!!
Senna de cambio manual esse ano e Prost de automatico nas aletas e Senna ainda foi campeão mundial
Because Mansell,he must bé champion that year

@@edsonbatista4137 The truth is that Prost beat Senna 1988 and 1989
@@gaucho5073 That’s absolutely false. Senna only won 88 because the FIA didn’t count all the races, and Prost deserved 89 and 90.
@@gaucho5073 Senna only beat Prost by three points in 1988, had the FIA counted all races Prost would have won by 11 points. In 1988, the best 11 results a driver had counted to the points total of the championship, and not all races. Had this season had a normal points system, then Prost would've won it by 11 points. Don’t lie to yourself. Prost deserved 1989 because he would have won the title no matter what happened in Suzuka.Senna needed to win both races to win the title, and he crashed out in the final race, meaning that even if he won Suzuka, he wouldn’t have won the title. Not to mention that Prost had a 20 point lead, which in todays point system is about 60 points. That is a huge lead, showing that he was better than Senna consistently. I don’t like senna at all, he was arrogant, always bitching about something, and a pedophile.

Best moments in f1 history
Magnifique Prost 💪🏻💪🏻 quelle intelligence de course , il était juste impressionnant 👌
It was crazy. All of it. No pit lane speed limit. No fireproof jacket on the pit crew members. No track limits😂 All was obligated to a time. If you don't shift in the pit lane, you won't be quick enough to win. It's better now, but it was great to see the people risking their lives for the team success. If it could be possible to see them in modern cars. With shift levers under steering consoles. What a relief that could be to them😅
Ayrton senna....the F1 legend that died....but showed persistence....confidence and great sportsman ship R.I.P Great lad!
Senna was not above lying, cheating or dangerous driving to win, it is ironic that having caused so many collisions that when he died it was an accident and realty not hos fault.
Senna ! The best F1 driver EVER !
💯
I'll say what people dont wanna say. Hes only the best because he died tragically. If, god forbid, max had an accident some day, he would be hailed as a legend even with no championship. That's just how ppls memory work. The only tragic part is remembered for long periods
The good old days no paddle shifters no speed limits in pits full on driving ability

he said while watching a video of Prost driving a semi-auto paddle-shifted gearbox...
Ooof
A.Senna is the best F1 driver ever👍🏻
Wrong: A. Prost is the best F1 driver ever.
Senna is the best F1 driver dead. Prost is the best F1 driver alive!
Wrong. Jim Clark is the best racing driver of all time.
At this time, Senna was quickest because he was younger than Prost. Prost was quickest in 1983-85.. Prost and Senna are the best drivers of the 80's with Mansell and Piquet.
Big Sam you still had to use a clutch in the Ferrari. Plus the Ferrari was no where near as good as the McLaren that year.
Era no braço antigamente, Senna the best.
Le professeur a appris à Senna comment conduire.
That year 1990, Prost made one of his best season in F1 because the Ferrari was really not competitive however he pushed Senna in its last entrenchments.
Prost clearly was a more complete driver than Senna at this point.
But his feud with Cesare Fiorio messed the things for him in the team and that's why the second season was so bad in comparison.
Actually the Ferrari 641 was pretty evenly matched with the Mclaren MP4/5B. The Ferrari was designed by John Barnard the guy who made the MP4/2 that won the championship three times between 84-86. The Ferrari 641 had a better aero and chassis and had the faster shifting semi auto gearbox. The Mclaren had the upper hand in the engine department thanks to its Honda V10 engine that had more power than the Ferrari V12 engine. The Ferrari was faster on shorter twistier circuits and the Mclaren had the upper hand on fast circuits. That is why Senna pushed Prost out in Suzuka in 1990 because he knew that in race trim the 641 Ferrari was faster around Suzuka and if Prost got the lead he would keep it. Senna didn't want to push the championship decider to the final round in Adelaide.
muy cierto lo que dices.
18 points short in the Championship!!
A little bit like Mercedes and Ferrari in 2017 - Hamilton will surge ahead at Spa, Monza and Austin in the second half of the season but Ferraris will catch up in Singapore. Probably a tight finish in Abu Dhabi.
Em 90 a Ferrari tinha troca de câmbio no volante (borboleta) ? Prost não tira a mão do volante, ao contrário de Senna.
No speed limits in the pitlane that looks scary.
Prost was the best, you my hero....miss thoses moments
Senna and Prost were the best two of that era,way above the rest,such a shame the way Ayrton died

Vc é sociopata ou oq? Podia até ser excitante mas o menor dos acidentes pode matar um monte de gente sem o limite de velocidade
Automatic shift in the Prost car????
Semi-automatic. Paddle shifters on the back side of the steering wheel for up-shift and down shift. Required no clutch depressed by the driver.
VALHALLAXE thanks dude.
Senna's manual vs Prost's semi. It's fantastic to see that there was competition on that aspect of the car back then.
VALHALLAXE Prost's gearbox still required a clutch pedal at that stage.
WOW when we watch Senna's onboard cam we can feel the power.
C'était vraiment beau la F1 avant
Ferrari in my opinion was the better car in 1990 and the most beautiful car ever seen in F1 but the rivality Mansell Prost ( portugal grand prix.... ) gave both Championships at McLaren
Watching many senna v prost battles onboard, prost was very much a match for senna especially in this clip, he was being pulling along by senna. But in 1 lap qualy, senna was a master!

Senna est un monstre absolu ❤️
Back when when a Honda engine beat a Ferrari engine
Senna with a manual McLaren vs. Prost with a Ferrari which was the first to adopt paddles, the last hoorrays for analogue vs. the rise of the digital.
Despite Senna being the last driver to win the World Championship with the manual (1991, on the McLaren MP4/6) and him still making a difference, in the early '90s it was yet clear what was the way to go. Then came Williams with the FW14 and 15, Formula 1 was irreversibly going not to be the same, and it mirrored the transition into the Digital Era the rest of the World was undergoing.
By 1995, analogue, manual F1 cars were already in their death throes, with only backmarker Coloni still clinging to the concept, and that again was a sign of the times: Internet and Personal Computers were already omnipresent, and by that year, the World was mainly digital, and F1 with it.
These guys make it look easy
I'm having problem trying to know the track. Is that Jerez?
Yes
Played this expecting to hear Murray or Spanish language commentators. Maybe 20 seconds into the video I was like wait, isn’t that David Hobbs!? And then a bit later I’m was “Wow that’s Bob Varsha too!” Miss those guys along with Matchett.
I think now I know why Prost said the Ferrari is handled like a truck
Listen 2 the sounds of those real engines so good
For Ayrton was not a problem driving with the manual gear box, the true problem was the different time for change gear. The manual around three-four thents of second versus the few cents of second of the semi automatic by Ferrari.
Such good cars. And I really miss David Hobbs' commentary.
