As a brazilian, I love Senna. As a motorsport fan, I love Prost. But that Mansell's moustache is what I love the most.
I love this comment almost as much as i love Nigel's 'tache.
Î love your comment, too! :-)
Renan Gonçalves Flores 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant.
Best comment ever
Back when drivers could say what they wanted without sounding like uber coached PR wonks. Honesty and speaking from the heart always wins the day. And Mansell and Berger's reactions to Senna is classic. That was the last of the best era in F1.
Taking the 'human' aspect out of anything renders it benign and boring.
To be fair, today's drivers are younger than ever and need some amount of pr coaching.
and he died lmao, moron
@@weedshoes5089 Disagree... most are way more media savvy than ever before thanks to social media and being in the limelight from a young age. Just now they are massive slaves to sponsors and are all about 'brand management' and look like corporate robots. Pathetic.
Everything from the heart wins the day 👍
Senna said of Mansell: 'On a good day, in a good car, it is impossible to keep him behind you. He will overtake you, even if he has to go over your head, he will overtake'.
True he said that, but in Monaco I remind Senna won having behing him Mansell last 3 laps and Mansell was driving 3 seconds (3 SECONDS) faster every lap, I understand it's Monaco but he didn't overtake Senna.
@@giovannipanzardi1745 I guess if you asked Senna about it, he would have said 'Ok, what I meant was, he will overtake you on 19 out of 20 circuits, except the one where overtaking is known to be almost impossible'.
Mansell's reaction to Senna is spot on. Classic !! Senna is still missed.
At the end, Senna kick´s down a jar =) he´s pissed off.
Mansel is dogson
Where he belongs. Total douchbag
He agreed with Senna.
He had enough of Prost's political games when they drove together at Ferrari!
Nigel Mansel looks like Mario
Thanks man, thats the name I was looking for.
LOL
That is the real mario
Nigel Mansell is Mario actually. Nigel Mansell started his F1 career in 1980. Mario came out in 1981. Do the math.
Mama Mia
There are several things that stand out about this press conference....
1) Mansell's moustache.
2) Senna's articulate, well-spoken honesty, and the fact that he's speaking from the heart and holding nothing back,
3) Mansell's moustache
4) Berger's ability to downplay what could've been an horrific accident.
5) The fact that all three drivers are actually giving us some insight and speaking freely, instead of the soundbites and pre-programmed responses we get from drivers in 2019.
You forgot Mansell's moustache
6) Mansell's moustache.
are we just going to ignore Mansell's moustache?
Can't stop staring Mansell's moustache
That moustache was as slick as a Senna pole lap 😉
These were real drivers, real people who were not afraid of speaking their minds. In today's world (in almost every sport, not just F1 and MotoGP) people have become PR puppets. Everything is about marketing. Awful. Ayrton was an awesome driver, an incredible person and a forever legend. RIP
Все зіпсувала бісова політкоректність. А особливо її апологет - Хемілтон! Дуже лицемірна людина, яка спекулює на будь чому галасливому що відбувається в світі. Грета Тунберг в шоломі, трясця...
2:38, Senna throws the cup of water to the floor... ahahahahaha
Ha ha never noticed that. Classic
mark webber like
LOOOL I didnt notice, amazing !!
savage!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Mansell's reaction to Senna is priceless :)
Senna said everything Nigel wish he had the guts to say.
It really is but I guess they are both complete hypocrites. Senna vetoed Derek Warwick out of Lotus for 1986 season and Alain Prost from Williams for 1994 season. Mansell in 1992 signed contract with Williams in which he demanded to have guarantees that he will have unconditional support from team, engine supplier and main sponsor over his teammate who won some 5 races in 15 years. But Senna still dares to call Prost a coward and Mansell sitting there and agreeing with everything. Hypocrisy at its absolute finest
@@mgecko2959 Senna did not veto Prost from Williams in 1994. Prost wouldn't race with Senna in 1994 and retired. Piquet vetoed Senna from Brabham for 1984. JPS vetoed Senna from Lotus for 1984 to favour Mansell. According to Alan Henry's book The Turbo Years Prost went to Marlboro to stop Piquet coming to Mclaren for 1988 therefore vetoed him. According to Mansell's Autobiography Prost when to the Ferrari top brass in 1990 in an attempt to get the team centred around him. Prost vetoed Senna from Williams for 1993. All least Derek Warwick agrees with the reasons Senna had him vetoed.
@@benitolonard4441 hmm Prost went to Marlboro to stop Piquet from joining the team for 1988 yet he was the one who was convincing Ron Dennis to bring in Senna 🤔🤔
You also forgot to mention how Senna went to Honda and asked them to put pressure on Ron Dennis to sack Prost and when that didnt go to plan they started to give him underpowered engines and he still beat Senna's ass 🤣
So please spare me lecture pal, Senna fanboys are straight up blind on all his behaviours
@@mgecko2959 How about reading the first line of you comment again? Mclaren had a choice of two drivers to partner Prost for 1988. This was a stipulation by Honda. Prost did not want Piquet at Mclaren so he vouched for Senna. It's not that complicated for most of us.
You don't really have a clue what you're talking about do you? Senna called for Prost's sacking at Monza 1989. Monza 1989 was the race where Honda, sick of Prost's innuendo about underpowered engines, released all the engine telemetry data from both cars to be inspected by experts. The data showed Senna quicker through corners with both cars equal on the straights. Monza 1989 was also the race afterwhich Prost wrote a grovelling letter of apology to Honda and retracted his accusations of underpowered engines.
Go read something.
I’ve just read Mansell’s autobiography and what a guy, raced with broken bones, smashed vertebrate, extreme food poisoning. Proper racing driver that had nothing but focus and gave his all. An absolute legend !
Was beaten by Elio De Angelis five years in a row in Lotus. FIVE. Was beaten by Keke Rosberg in Williams 1985, Rosberg made him look like an amateur. Was beaten by injured Piquet in Williams 1987. Was totally demolished by Prost in Ferrari 1990.
He wasn't as good as many people think. Always driving the absolute top cars.
@@detonator2112 you’re talking utter shite you clown.
@@detonator2112 This is a ridiculous comment cherry picking only things that you think makes him look particularly bad and with some bizarre interpretations and misunderstandings of them, hard to know even where to start replying to that! Obviously he probably belongs in a top 10 list of the greatest drivers, even if it's in the bottom half of it.
@@Roger__Wilco Look at his stats yourself. It's not cherry picking. I loved how Mansell drove. Fast, furious hothead.
But he lost to almost all of his teammates. Patrese was an exception. He was much faster than Piquet 1987 but destroyed his cars and threw the 1986 and 1987 WDC's away.
Let's be honest his track record against teammates is awful. i.imgur.com/ZWwIFpr.jpg
@@detonator2112 you seem to be quite biased. Read his book, raced with smashed feet, broken ribs, damaged vertebrae etc. he is a legend.
Who knew that mansell started the snap cap fashion.
Omg so true. Mansell the true innovator.
Snap caps were around for a long time m8
Everyone of these hats is snap, bet
way before eminem 😂😂😂
Hardly. It was very popular with US soldiers in WWII to wear their caps like that. Lot's of photos.
I always felt like Nigel and Senna would go to the pub together when no one was looking.
Mansell always spoke quite respectively about Senna even after races where they made contact and Senna was blocking him aggressively, same with Senna, he never spoke bad about Mansell either.
This despite the fact that Mansell was quite easily upset and got his feelings hurt as Murray Walker explained in the beyond the grid podcast.
Notice how nervous Mansell and Berger are when the interviewer asked about Prost, and the relief after the answer from Senna.
Bc Senna wasn’t afraid of those stupid politic games. He’s the man!
I love Mansell and Berger just sitting there at the end like, "Well... he ain't wrong" LMAO
Well Mansell should feel same way about himself and Senna then too
Prost was a idiot
@@fabriceleblus clearly a senna fanboy Who has just finished to see his documentary
@@fabriceleblus
Only an idiot would win so many races and beat both Senna and Mansell.
Prost was a crying boy ..anytime he looses go to cry to ballestre
Senna was a unique genius with an innocent look,like a little boy. And what a divine talent! Immortal!!!
Imagine Alex Albon racing back then, saying "they race me so hard", they would laugh a lot 😂
Yeah he would have been done if hunt was commentating
back then they had idiots like Bertrand Gachot, who served 18 months in prison and called it "a fantastic human experience"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Most of all i love Mansell nodding and Berger laughing at the end of his answer. Those were good times for motorsport
Ye Mansell such a hypocrite
Best times for motorsport
@@mgecko2959 BOLLOCKS
@@mgecko2959 why?
@@videowatchr5565 because not even 12 months earlier Mansell asked for guarantees on paper that Williams, Elf and Renault will do everything in their power to make sure Patrese doesnt finish ahead of him. So sitting there nodding his head when Senna says Prost should be prepared to fight anyone on equal terms is peak of hypocrisy. Not to mention Senna himself vetoed Warrick from Lotus several years earlier so they both cant really speak much
Real drivers. Real men. Unscripted. Unchoreographed. No spin. No bullshit. The way it used to be. The way it should be. RIP Ayrton.
Bull dust the real men were back in the 50s Fangio, Hawthorn Collins and Brabham at the end
I love Mansell, Prost, and Senna. All world champions and world class drivers. I love the bluntness they used to have. And let's face it if Ayrton was still with us I think they'd all be good friends in their retirement. It is just racing after all.
+Cory Baxter Mansel and Senna yes, but Prost and Senna never. Senna loathed Prost and everything he stood for, he often bit his tongue just to be civil, but they were never friends. I found it disrespectful that Prost tried to make out they were friends when Senna died. Prost was an out and out prick to Senna throughout their driving careers, then once Senna dies he tries to make out they were buddies. Further proof that Prost has no morals.
I freaking love Deus Ex. Best game ever.
Hjembrent Kent Agreed bro :D
Dodgy Brothers Engineering Not true. After Prost retired, Senna kept calling him to chat. Senna respected Prost, he obsessed about beating him because he knew Prost was the best, that's why he suddenly felt a certain emptiness when Prost quit. Remember also his message on the radio at Imola the day before he died. "To our dear friend Alain, we all miss you Alain".
@@AS-pp1rd Prost as a driver was called le professeur not because he was the quickest driver but for his calculated way of driving. Senna wanted to be the fastest all the time, in practice in quali and in the race. These two didn't hate each other but where never friends.
oh... real men! real racers..
YES. 100%. but remember James Hunt and Niki Lauda = Real Men & Racers too. I watched the Film (movie) of James Hunt & Niki Lauda. Film name: " RUSH " watch it!
I want to see Rush but im 9 so its probubly not appropriate for me cause well it has James Hunt so yeah.
Watch Grand Prix for Real Men too
You had to have balls back then
🙄🙄
I like the fact Senna for literally no reason just pushes/punches something off the table at the end 😂😂😂
I missed that one 😂😂
Hahahaha....that's honestly such a funny move....that stiffness of his arm right after is hilarious 😂
He's like a cat
Yeah sounds like a glass
good cat moment right there
2:38 did senna just punch that cup off the table?
hahahahahaha!!! Awesome observation.. I hadn't seen it
Nice spot, what the hell was that about, it looked like it had a spastic twitch or something.
What if that spastic twitch he couldn't control cause the Imola incident. The twitch even seems to be in the direction of the crash. Right hand right side . Imagine that on the steering wheel
Anshuman Roy shut up
@@joshlad8762 bwahaha okay
Despite all these things, please, don't act as if one was the good guy and the other the bad one. They had all their bad moments, their bad words, their lack of good behaviour, on track and outside track. Don't forget they allow millions of fans to live probably the best period of F1 history and other millions to develop their passion.
They are both legends and both deserve infinite respect.
MastaMS21 shut up.
Fuck Prost
Youre right
@@KAD10895

I disagree I have no respect for Prost. Purposely crashing your teammate so he can't beat you is such a cowardly move, and he's such a fucking asshole whenever he speaks. I truly hate him
When a driver knew how to drive.
RIP Senna.
The GOAT.

Senna. Legendary on track, pedophile off track.
Mansell just looks like a badass person with that mustache
He had the most manly facial hair lol. I bet he went through puberty at 8 lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because hes badass.
Those were the days of men with big moustaches being commomplace in England
Jack The Ripper from England also had a big moustache (yeah Jack The Ripper was a douchebag, but you get my point)
@@aspiknf Jack the ripper was never identified so you can't possibly say that he had a mustache
Thank you Ayrton for those awesome ten years of racing, awesome comments, fabulous charisma, you are truly still missed even after 20 yrs since you left this world.
JAY PARIS in Brazil he was never forgotten and still missed.
Max is the closest thing to someone who speaks his mind about what he sees on the track these days. Need honest drivers like Senna and Mansell back with no PR bullshit
Maybe today's drivers could be PR-trained to sound less PR-trained and emulated 80's era clashes. Could you imagine the training session with Albon, Russel, Leclerc, Norris and co learning to clash like Ol'Noige and Ayrton ? Priceless ! Someone needs to make that comedy video !
Mansel is a nice guy dude is great driver and a nice person after all.
+David Auster
He and Senna were not happy that Prost was faster than them. A very hypocritical comment by Senna who always wanted the best car and the most power. Senna never wanted any driver to have equality, and Mansell wanted to have the best car and act like a playboy then come drive the car and go away to play again.
+Barrie Rodliffe really and who didn't want the best car? ... de cesaris?
+David Auster
Mansell did not help develop and set up the car as much as some drivers did. Prost wanted a good car and he worked to improve it.
+Barrie Rodliffe Did Lauda and Rosberg have equality in 85 and 86 respectively.
+John19501000
Prost was better than Lauda in both 1984 and 1985 and they were given equal treatment,
As Rosberg said himself "Prost was the best driver I ever raced against and he was bloody quick."
The fact is Rosberg got a surprise at how good Prost was.
Just as Prost was much better than Mansell.
Senna was closer better than Mansell and closer to Prost but Senna always got the best car and preferential treatment.
Best is actually Berger and Mansell's confirming grins to what Senna was saying.
Yeah Berger was just laughing I loved that
Senna my man had the guts to spill what was going on in his mind. How I miss him!
@ 2:22 love the little laugh and smirk from Senna when comes up with the led shoes analogy, LOL!
Senna was a poet!
There's a lot of talk about Nigel Mansell's moustache, but I feel his eyebrows are an important part of the look and rarely get the praise they deserve!
Very true.
The eyebrows provide the necessary counter-balance (or "equilibrium" in Ayrton Senna's eloquent English) to the moustache.
They are all interchangeable.
@@FrontSideBus That got a chuckle from me. Nice one mate.
Man, that was a ton of F1 talent on that stage!
Rest in peace beautiful Ayrton.

Always gives me a good laugh when Ayrton. Knocks over the mug and Nigel's funny smile at 2:38
Man, Senna had some temper. The way he throws the microphone away even before the interviewer is done.
R.I.P Senna
He did, and if you see it in one simple interview just imagine how many people took advantage of that. Prost surely knew that he was a person with bad temper and used it against him.
That was pure Senna, watery eyes and making himself look like a victim where he was first to screw his teammate in any way he possibly could. Vetoing other drivers from the team, breaking agreements, sending engine suppliers to team principal and even plotting with engine supplier against his teammate so he is disadvantaged in the race. But as soon as someone did same thing Senna was first to point it out
It was a glass of water
@@mgecko2959 yep. he vetoed warwick from joining him as teammate at Lotus
@@User-nu6km he also complained to Honda about Prost, they were putting pressure on Ron Dennis to sack Prost half season and gave him underpowered engines. All because of Senna 🤷♂️
this guy was carismatic and honest, besides an awesome driver. I think that's why he is a legend.
I remember watching this interview live in 1992. Powerful words by Senna and spot on
TheSemtew1977 - No, not exactly. Prost didn’t want to help develop the car and then have Senna come in and make his life miserable like he did at McLaren.
@@jsphblw Develop the Car, Really? A car that won 10 of 16 races in 1992.
TheSemtew1977 - It’s not the same car every year. You build new cars every year and work on it till you get it right. Prost was the reason why McLaren stayed on top from 1984 to 1991. Notice that McLaren’s dominance only lasted 2 years after Prost left. Senna could drive fast no matter what he had but he just wasn’t any good at developing cars.
The Williams F1 team were pioneers in developing active suspension in their F1 cars and that with the genius of Adrian Newey and the Renault V10, gained a substantial benefit / advantage in 1992 and 1993. Whether Prost developed the 1993 or not is beside the point as Prost knew with great certainty the 1993 Williams would be a class above the rest, which is why he signed.
I think you are completely missing the point of my original post. Due to the politics of formula 1, fans were denied a sporting contest between two greats in the same car fighting for the championship. It would be another 15 years (Fernando Alonso and the rookie Lewis Hamiltion , both in the Mclaren Mercedes) until we would witness a titanic scrap between team mates fighting for a championship.
@@TheSemtex1977 Prost's development skills were over-rated! Just ask anybody on the engineering side at Williams when Prost was there; like Patrick Head.
Wow ...a real man....a real pilot...no fear to say the truth. Ayrton...simply the LEGEND.
he was also the man that vetoed Derek warwick in Lotus, he was a great driver, but he was also very hipocrite
@@nicolasgarcia248 p
@@nicolasgarcia248 Meeeeh.. The conditions were different. Lotus was a best of the rest team and Senna did not believe they could run two number 1 drivers. It wasn't because he was affraid of getting beaten by his team mate.
@@tiagodumont4422 Well, i could say the same about prost, specially after what happend with senna and mansell as "team mates".
Mansell or Senna would have splited the Williams points in 1993, and knowing how stong McLaren and Ferrari were back then; having only one top pilot (Prost) was the safest choice.
I always loved Mansell's nod and pat on Senna's back. He knew what Senna was on about.
What Senna is complaining about here is exactly what he did to Derek Warwick when signing up for Lotus for the 1985 season. It's always the same with people like them, it's all good as long as they are not on the receiving end.
Everyone seems or likes to forget this. He ruined a driver's entire career because he saw them as a threat to win. He tried the same thing with McLaren and was not able to do it. He had no problems with drivers post Prost because they assumed the role of a second driver
Have to disagree here as Derek Warwick was not in Sienna's class and would not have delivered the desired results. Senna on the other hand would have won Williams the WC.
According to Warwick he went up to him and explained why.. Warwick said you had to admire the guy... I would have punched him in the face, and I'm a senna fan
@@jamesbraun9842 "He did, though at that time the Lotus was not considered the car to win the championship with.

@@jamesbraun9842 'Ruined a driver's entire career..' I think Warwick did that himself by refusing the Williams drive for 1985. He could have been driving for Williams in 1986.
Ayrton's mind power was far too advanced for the people and technology during his time.
Imagine with current & future Scientific developments what Ayrton could have achieved considering his extraordinary capabilities - think of space travel, Senna would've been great as a pilot travelling amongst the stars.
A truly special person, Ayrton's Spirit Will Live Forever - King Of Pure Skill!
I normally hate hearing people talk about being alpha and whatnot, but goddamn Senna’s confidence and ability to speak truth to power is just an inspiring thing to see. To justifiably call a man out as a coward in a live press conference amongst his peers, definitely requires a certain level of “testicular fortitude”.
Yep! Exactly.
It would be best to tell it face to face 1 on 1, but this is certainly better than talking sh*t behind his back.
That's because America is breeding people to pussys and not men
Phuckin love this comment hahba
Using the phrase "truth to power" which has no meaning only exposes you as a beta. Don't use it.
Interesting fun fact... senna exercised his power of veto denying Derek Warwick from driving for lotus only 7 years before this incident
Thank you, senna hypocrite, honestly only reason he put Prost down in press just like he did here was just because he struggled to beat Prost on track sometimes so he decided to play dirty in the media
Diferent reasons. Lotus will not have resources to give both drivers good cars. Need to concentrate in one. Diferent for Williams.
@@Marcelllobo so basically senna was afraid of a team mate and asked his team to give him preferential treatment.

I wish we could have had Senna and Mansell on the same team sometime. That would have just been clean, hard racing, with no politics. They had some run-ins on the track, but they never let it get personal.
John Cate That would be really crazy! In 1990, when Prost and Mansell were on the same team, it was something unimaginable just four years earlier.
Johannes LaCroix Mansell and Senna could have been teammates because all they cared about was racing. They would have had dust-ups as teammates, but they would have been about racing, not politics. Prost got into power struggles everywhere he went, and used his "French connection" with FISA to gain an edge. He even manipulated the fact he knew Renault and Elf wanted a French driver to get a veto on Senna at Williams in '93. Don't get me wrong, all's fair in love and war. But Prost was a terrible teammate to have if you were a top driver. If there had been any justice, he would have stumbled into a team with Nelson Piquet as the other driver at some point--they'd have killed each other!
+John Cate It would have been amazing

You do talk a lot of rot.
+John Cate Bullshit! Just because they are tag teaming on Prost in this interview doesn't mean squat. Mansell and Senna hated each other, almost coming to blows several times.

I love how Mansell and Berger are trying not to laugh at Senna’s words. 😂 I’m pretty confident they agreed with him on this 😁
PolosLatinos ......and the way Mansell patted Senna on the back at the end of the interview. lol
Berger is Senna's best friend in F1
Oh they agreed alright, Prost showed the world how much better he was than Mansell at Ferrari, and Berger was Senna's BFF. Hardly a surprise these two were on team Senna here.
@PortgazDAce89 oh he definitely did. Prost pushed Ferrari 1990 to have himself completely number 1 and it worked. Mansell was possibly the outright faster driver between the two, but didn't take testing seriously and didn't have the team building personality Ferrari wanted. Prost was far far superior at setting up the cars.
Are you blind, stupid or both? They aren't laughing at his words, they're laughing at their lack of balls to say what Senna said.
Senna didn't want to race Warwick in 1996, so Lotus took Dumfries. Also, confirmed that he had better support from Honda during Prost years. And now he criticizes Prost for what he did in the past. Example of duplicity.

Derek Warwick in 1986
Just a hypocrite and whiny bitch like most Brazilian athletes. No one outside of that shithole would like him if he had retired instead of died in the car.
@@matrixfan58 Swallow that. I know it hurts, but that's life.
"He did, though at that time the Lotus was not considered the car to win the championship with.
I think what Senna complains about here is that by 1992 everyone knew that the winner of the 1993 championship would drive a Williams, and by contractually ensuring himself as the number 1 driver at Williams, Prost had it in the bag.
So it fell to Hill to drive second fiddle in Williams. So yeah, what we see here is probably sour grapes from Senna, because he knew he had lost the 1993 championship before it had even begun." - _copied from someone else below_
@@matrixfan58 Was Fanboy offended that Senna attacked his favorite driver? Do not Cry
Da war die Formel 1 noch interessant
und spannend, weil es einfach tolle
Typen waren.❗
Senna, Prost, Mansell, Berger ect.
Das waren Männer mit Charisma.❗

2:38 "FUCK that glass"
randomly knocks his glass off the table at the end lol
They don’t have press conferences like this anymore...
I wish I was able to watch them live. I watch reviews of those years again and again. what we have now can't be compared to that era. All 3 were legends
I'll tell you one thing. 90's formula 1 was loud!! I had to wear ear protection cause your ears were ringing and you didn't see much of the cars back then ;)
@@gringostarr69 Watched my first F1 race live in '81 never used ear protection my ears are still ringing =(
@@janstenger6230 Cool man. I doubt that anyone forgets their first race. That was an amazing era. Turbo's were just coming in but with mega lag on low revs (hens the Senna's on/off throttle style through his career). Keke was the last champ (82) that with N.A.E Cosworth DFV (variant).. My ears used to ring for years cause not using ear protection when rehearsing and doing gigs and couldn't get any sleep back then. It miraculously went away and felt like a new man for ~10 years. At least for sleeping wize :D
@@janstenger6230 But I know how much it such when your ears ring all the time. Especially when it's quiet..
@@gringostarr69The raw power of those cars was intimidating.. Prost won his 2nd GP race, and there were engines from 5 different manufacturers! The screaming Matra engine ill never forget although they only ran a few laps that day!
Senna will always be the best driver in history
Sure, if you pretend Juan Manuel Fangio didn't exist.
@@mxrzor even knowing full well that he did exist
Can of worms opened🤦🏻🤦🏻
@@chuckyboy6977 I'll take first kick of the tin. When ever this subject comes up in the Motorsport press, Fangio and Senna usually appear in the top 2 or 3. When they both say Clark was the best, you really have to consider it. Having followed F1 for more than 55 years, I've seen a few good un's. Bellof, Ickx and Beltoise great in the wet. Senna, Peterson blisteringly quick, Prost and his teacher Lauda the clever men.
For me, the 60's were the days. They'd race F1, F2 and saloons on the same day. For me, Clark was the best, but that's just my opinion.
The thing with opinions is that they are like backsides. Everyone has one, just not everyone likes yours 😁😁
Didn't he do this to Derek Warwick in 1986?
He did, though at that time the Lotus was not considered the car to win the championship with.
I think what Senna compains about here is that by 1992 everyone knew that the winner of the 1993 championship would drive a Williams, and by contractually ensuring himself as the number 1 driver at Williams, Prost had it in the bag.
So it fell to Hill to drive second fiddle in Williams. Probably he would have had to do the same under Senna in 1994 and later if it hadn't been for that accident at Imola.
So yeah, what we see here is probably sour grapes from Senna, because he knew he had lost the 1993 championship before it had even begun. And for Senna in particular it may have stung extra that it was Prost of all people that had done it.
Doubtless had Senna been the first to clinch that Williams drive in 1993 he too would have asked for a first driver clause.
brilliant!! nigel’s reaction was priceless…i do miss these conferences when drivers start having a spat with each other
Damn, let's not Forget Senna Veto'd Derek Warwick from joing lotus in 1986 for fear of having a competitive teammate.
@ 2:38 Ayrton knocks a glass or something? :D lol
Lol Legend
lol Senna was so tense during the interview, and the glass punch at the end was funny.
Thanks for posting. And it's tragic how now honesty - let alone sincerity - is the last thing we'd expect at a press conference. And to think of competitors supporting each other when they speak out. Wow. I miss this so much.
Max is the last of this kind
WHAT A MAN!!! Senna, the absolute best!
Dead. He is dead. Good riddance
Every time Senna speaks, you can see how he is on another level compared to everybody else. I can't explain. Very intelligent and well spoken.
Thank you for bringing up this point! I wholeheartedly concur with your viewpoint, sharing a complete alignment of 100%. It is truly remarkable how the mere utterance of Senna can exert such a profound influence on the collective composite consciousness, amplifying it exponentially by a several factors. BRAVO!
So that makes him a better person, bloody hell.
@@JohnJohn-zn8ib Yes, Senna is a better person. I hope you're not arguing with a tired old leftist ideology that one person cannot be better than another person.
2:38 epic pushing-glass-from-table-action by senna.
Love how he jabs 🤛 the water at the end
Can we go back to this?!?! What an amazing interview with all 3 of them , that’s how I fell in love with f1 , what we got into today it’s the reason I lost that feeling
I really liked the relationship between Senna and Mansell. Fierce and passionate competitors on the track who gave no margin, but respectful of each other and comrades as drivers.
Double standards from Senna as he blocked Warwick from being his teammate at Lotus. And after Prost smashed Mansell in the same car in 1990 obviously he didn’t want Prost in the same team so he went to Indycar
True - the difference being he didn't believe Lotus could field two good cars with the resources they had. They were on a downward track even then.
Such a calming voice Mansell has.
Senna vetoed when Derek Warwick was coming to Lotus. Senna didn't accept and they took Johnny Dumfries instead.
Prost is the only F1 driver in history who beat five world champion teammates. K.Rosberg, Lauda, Senna, Mansell and Hill. It's quite ridiculous that he was afraid to have a decent teammate. No one else in history has such list of teammates, not even close.
You didn’t mention piquet. They were in F1 around the same time. Piquet won 81, 83, and 87. Prost won 4 in between then. Senna 3.
Prost was indeed the best driver of that era but people argue that Senna was better because he literally drove like a kamikaze. He was all in. That was his gift and ultimate undoing and why Prost won 4 due to being ballsy but careful.
You have to give credit is due and Prost piquet and senna and Mansell all fought and won very hard battles. Back in an era where death was a constant presence
But also remember that Senna drove his Mclaren to the very limits - Jo Ramirez said that Senna's car was virtually wrecked after a race, while Prost's was as good as new - Ayrton had to drive like that just to keep up with Prost. Imagine if Prost had driven on the edge!!! Many drivers better than Prost at that time? Name one...... and Senna was NOT an egomaniac??
Prostie fanboy
Ayrton always ensured that all the variables were loaded in his favour. Hence he ensured team-mates were as weak as possibloe - hence Dumfries and Nakajima - Moving to Mclaren Prost was already there, but once there Ayrton set about undermining Alain as much as possible - in Ayrton's words he wanted to 'destroy' Prost. Ayrton didn;t take kindly to drivers who could beat him and back then Warwick was a hot prospect.
Spot on - but another factor was Senna having an existing relationship with Honda - which joined McLaren at the same time he did. Honda's technical staff had a strong preference for Senna over Prost - and that tainted much of what happened when they drove for the same team. So not all on Senna IMHO - Honda and some of the leadership at McLaren share the blame. Still - anyone should understand why Prost would not want to be teammates with Senna again and he asked for it in his contract. Williams granted it. Senna was too smart to be critical of Frank Williams because he wanted to drive for him - so he took his shots on the situation at Prost. Which I get....but he still sounded like a whiner. LoL Think about Hamilton and Verstappen being teammates - no way that works.
I love the way Ayrton ends this by deliberately knocking the glass onto the floor breaking it to demonstrate the level of his real anger. True champion and never will be replaced.
that mans driving was something else. i dont think we will EVER see his kind again. he was pretty pissed after that interview an all
Senna sucks, ONLY PROST
He literally had the car on it's limits. Looked like it was on ice half the time. Fucking love watching him race.
Prost going faster looked as if he was on rails and Prost could drive on ice.
strange movement from Senna. Either scripted or he wanted to save something from falling down.
Whoa.
And Mansell and Berger smiling... In agreement?
LOL.
LOL indeed, Mansell just won championship he had guaranteed in his contract over his teammate lol
Fearless drivers on the track and while answering. Straightforward clear answers from senna.
Yah straightforward hypocrisy and BS
@@mgecko2959 Jesus fucking Christ man are you honestly still bitter about still that happened 30 years ago? to the point you will comment on any thread praising them? you need to get a life
Hate him or love him this guy is a legend !
How hypocritical of Senna to be calling others cowards when he was the one to block Warwick's move to Lotus...
quando Ayrton regnava... sacrosanta verità, spiattelata in faccia a tutti, con il consenso di Nigel...ahhhhh che tempi fantastici
Apparently Nigel then went and shouted Ayrton a beer at the pub.
Golden age of F1!
Senna was so boldly honest, every time he spoke. It didn’t pay too much in those days but made him an unforgettable Legend of this sport.
Amazing video!! I did not know this before now but his sentence Prost has always been a talker
