@@MatthewDaSmitdog The general consensus is that that's what happened. Senna's steering column, which had been lengthened on-site at his request (there wasn't enough lead time to have an entirely new column manufactured and shipped to the track), broke on the 7th lap. One wonders what that onboard camera saw right before impact.
@@f1videosforf1fans99 Very bad. FIA outlawed the hydraulic suspensions of the Williams. Basically, that car had no control whatsoever. And yes, he died that season.
He didn't look comfortable or satisfied with the Williams car. Senna and Honda were the best team! To me Senna's most happy racing years were during the Honda years.
Renault's engine was the best back in 1994. But the car itself needed several adjusts. For a long long time Senna wanted to be a Williams driver...his dream turn out to be his ultimate nightmare

Awesome power in the Williams, but you can see that Ayrton was uncomfortable with the steering wheel position. Sadly, we'll never know what could have been if he hadn't asked for the steering wheel to be modified.....
When people say things like. When “racers were real racers “ they were tougher. Maybe. But because they had to be. Just looking at these cars its truly a miracle many more driver weren’t lost during this era. These things were total death traps. And cost lots of life. I am super thankful for the safety today. Super thankful. I lost my childhood hero’s in racing. And im glad some kids like say Romain Grosjean’s kids get to see their father. Senna was just too young. Its still as sad today to me as it was as a 12 yr old at the time.
O jornalista brasileiro Flavio Gomes estava no Estoril cobrindo essa apresentação. Segundo ele, depois das primeiras voltas, Senna saiu do carro e disse: “Justo na minha vez, cagaram no carro.” Anos depois, o projetista Adrian Newey, responsável pelo carro, escreveu em seu livro de memórias que errou mesmo aquele carro. Como as regras mudaram de 93 pra 94, retirando suspensão ativa e diversos outras funções eletrônicas, ele deveria ter projetado uma evolução do último carro da Williams com suspensão passiva em vez de pegar o carro de 93, retirar a suspensão ativa e adaptar as regras de 94. Segundo ele, o carro de 94 só funcionava direito em pistas bem lisas e no túnel de vento, em pistas onduladas (a grande maioria) a variação de altura do carro fazia com que perdesse pressão aerodinâmica no meio da curva. A suspensão ativa compensava essas ondulações lendo o asfalto e adaptando a suspensão, mantendo o chassi sempre na melhor atitude e altura do solo, maximizando a pressão aerodinâmica. A suspensão passiva não faz isso, ela reage às ondulações como um carro normal. Foi um erro de filosofia de desenvolvimento que produziu um carro fraco em 94 e acabou contribuindo pra morte do Senna.
Eu só tentaria convencê-lo de n correr em San Marino. Senna tinha mtas justificativas pra n correr em Imola (acidente do Rubinho, morte do Ratzenberger, falta de segurança nas áreas de escape das curvas), mas foi teimoso e msm tendo um mal pressentimento, foi correr. Ele teria mto provavelmente faturado o título em 94, visto q Adrian Newey solucionou o problema do carro do FW16 após o GP de Imola.
@@Lucas-kc5ht Vai saber no q iria dar a disputa pelo título? Com carro mto inferior ele apertou a disputa em 93, contra a mítica FW15 do Prost. Além disso, vale lembrar q o Hill é um piloto muito inferior ao Senna, e levou a disputa até a última corrida, sendo q perdeu por trapaça do Schumi. Nas três primeiras corridas da temporada, msm com o FW16 praticamente incontrolável, Senna conseguiu pole position em todas. Abandonou nas 3, mas isso provou q o Senna poderia ganhar (eu diria facilmente) o WDC de 94. 95 é outra história, as Benetton estavam mto fortes. Pode até ser q o Senna faria uma temporada semelhante à de 93, mas qm sabe... Provavelmente ele iria permanecer como 1º piloto da Williams com o Hill até 96 e dps com Villeneuve em 97, q ambos os campeonatos ele ganharia. Senna poderia ter sido hexa campeão (talvez até mais) mas infelizmente ele faleceu em Imola.
@@ptristao01 a pista era fortemente criticada por Senna, e ainda foi relevada com mais ênfase após terem conhecimento do tão arisco era os carros de 94, sendo que o Senna ate conversou com o Berger meses antes sobre isso
@@ptristao01 O Hill só levou a disputa até o final porque o Schumacher perdeu pontos ao ser desclassificado de duas corridas e eliminado de outras duas. Se não fosse isso, teria garantido o título bem antes. Mas concordo contigo que o Senna brigaria mais de igual pra igual com o Schumacher e, segundo o Hill, lá pela sexta corrida do ano o carro da Williams já estava muito melhor do que no início do ano, pois é claro que a equipe reconheceu que o carro precisava evoluir daquele começo de ano ruim e investiu recursos nisso.
La cara de Senna dice todo, se nota que al conocer el carro, se dió cuenta de que no era lo que esperaba, se ve preocupado, se sabe que el auto era rápido, pero muy inestable y difícil de conducir, sin contar que el equipo no era lo mismo, Mclaren era como una familia. Pasaron muchas cosas, pero no se le ve nunca la alegría que mostró cuando anunció su cambio a Williams, una vez que tocó el coche, la seriedad en su rostro permaneció hasta el día de su muerte.
Ayrton looked so good in blue. Maybe it was just seeing him in different colours that was so interesting. The FW16 was such a beautiful car. And the Rothmans livery looked awesome. Williams fucked up with the steering rod. Still missed after so many years and and it doesnt feel like it has been that long. RIP.
Im portuguese and remember this quite well. Ayrton barely smiles for the cameras and i don´t see any enthusiasm in his eyes. He seemed to know that somehow he was entering in the last adventure of his life.
Nope he is right senna not only was he probably the greatest driver of all time but also the most kind hearted of all time. shumacer can beat it cause he took forever to win a championship and half of the time had to cheat to win.@@jandaf2761
There are mixed images from 2 different test days, one of them is Estoril in Portugal, where he exits the pits towards his left, the other I believe it was Paul Ricard Circuit, where he exits to the right. I believe the tests at Paul Ricard were before the ones at Estoril, because at Paul Ricard he is still using a Shoei X-4 helmet (the same from 1992 & 1993) but in the new Rothmans livery, he then switched to the Bell M3 at Estoril, which is the one he used for Aida, Interlagos and Imola.
The helmet at 1:45 and 7:04 is clearly a Shoei X-4, with the chin part stretched out front, same one he used in McLaren in '92 and '93. While in the rest of the video he uses the Bell M3 which is more round, similar to the Bell XFM-1 he used from '84 thru '89. In Estoril, the pits are on the left side of the track, while at Paul Ricard they are on the right.
I remember Senna complained that this understeer car all of sudden turns into oversteer car after the first winter test and I finally see what he was talking about. He takes understeer lines at apexes like Alonso with Renault and as he lets off gas , the front recovers grip so quickly and the rear kicks out. This is how my 997 gt3 runs like, and it’s really really scary when I was not used to it. 997 GT3 Driver’s fix this characteristics by putting either wider front tires or wheel spacers. I can see that the Williams had too week mechanical front grip for the power it had.
Had Mclaren gone with the Lamborghini like Senna wanted and not the Pegout for 94 maybe he would have stayed with them.However he wanted the best car to win the title again and he knew that Williams did have the best car for 94 and they did have the best car From 1994 to 1997. Senna more or less was ready for Williams already for the 1992 season but his loayalty to Honda kept him at Mclaren He did not go to Williams in 1993 because they had signed Prost.
I remember watching and interview with Luca Di Montezemelo ( Ferrari President ) stating that Senna had told him that he wanted to end his career in a Ferrari, would have loved to have seen Schumacher vs Senna battle it out in the late 90s
During this test, after his first run, he climbed out of the car and said to Brazilian F1 journalist Flávio Gomes: “Holy sh*t, right when it’s my turn to drive the car, they f*cked up the car”. Years later, Adrian Newey recognized in his book that the 94 car was an “evolution” of the 93 car without the active suspension and electronics. He conceded that they should have taken a page from Williams’ last passive suspension car (91?) and use that as a base of development for 94, making a better car to drive through bumps. The 94 aero (of the beginning of the championship as they evolved and fixed it afterwards) was very sensitive to ride height and while this was ok for the 93 active suspension car, it didn’t work for the 94 passive suspension car.
Most people know the onboard is not Senna but Coulthard driving later in the day. None of Senna's cars had an onboard attached in this test. You can see it.
Com certeza estávamos, nós brasileiros, muito triste com o falecimento do Ratzenberger. Senna até levava uma bandeira da Áustria no cockpit. Teve alguém aí que comentou: estar usando uma visão brasileira. Brasileiro é solidário. Mas aconteceu com o Senna também. Hoje vendo Grosjean saindo quase ileso, me alegra ver as mudanças na segurança.
+Clímax Contos Eróticos That the Williams Car was an unstable Beast is just another Fantasy-Story of the Senna Fans. Because MSC was better than Senna in the first two Races of 94 by having a slower Car. So it was NOT that MSC was faster, NO. Sennas Car was an Unstable Beast. In real EVERY 94 Car was very unstable. In F1 History the 94, 95 and 96 Cars are the most unstable Cars ever. 97 the Rules made the Cars safer and stable.
+Karl S. That isn't true because in the early part of the season the Benetton was easier to handle than the Williams. Senna may have put the car on pole in the first three races but on longruns the Benetton was the better car. As the season progressed Williams got the upper hand but sadly Senna didn't get the chance to win his fourth title.

@@ricardoricardoaugusto6670 ... E certamente Schummacher vigarista, apóstolo do outro vigarista Flávio Briattore; não irião PRATICAR aquela PATIFARIA que fizeram com o Damon Hill naquele GP Austrália 1994. Sei lá... mas vai que o presidente da FIA em 94, fosse, como um outro vigarista Jean-Marie Balestre que inclusive admitiu em 2014 que IN-TEN-CIO-NAL-MEN-TE... procurou prejudicar Senna em 1989; naquele ato autêntico, genuíno de como que um clássico vigarista age, em que Alain Prost jogou o seu Mclaren contra o carro do piloto brasileiro.
@Ricardo Ricardo Augusto Não, ele bateu em duas e rodou sozinho em outra. O carro só quebrou na vez que ele morreu. Informe-se melhor. Em Interlagos rodou sozinho, sem ninguém perto, e ainda deixou o carro morrer.
Se não pela falta de sorriso no semblante de Ayrton Senna, os olhos dele dizem tudo. A cagada que estava aquele modelo Willians. Que se três anos anteriores era uma espaçonave, uma máquina de outro planeta; já agora...naquele momento, em comparação aos protótipos vencedores, uma verdadeira ''ca-rro-ça". Poxa, que decepção não deve ter sido pra ele.
Apparently he was shocked how bad the car was. Sadly, Newey was only able to make the car truly competitive a few races after his death. I believe had he not been so anxious about the car, and its many flaws, and he had no died, of course, there is a chance he could have won the title in '94.
You can see that the car is unstable. Senna didn't like it, it's clear in the expression on his face. Senna wanted to drive the FW15C adapted to the 94 regulations. He liked the car, it was fast and more reliable. Adrian Newey and Patrick Head did not accept.
nesse video da pra ver como os aparatos eletronicos fizeram falta nesse carro, o carro era muito forte, motor potente e tudo mais mas sem os controles de tração e estabilidade se mostrou ser um cavalo selvagem pra domar.. coitado do senna, o sonho virou um pesadelo ! que esteja em paz !!
Boa noite. SENA ERA UM GRANDE PILOTO DE FORMULA 1 .UNESQUECIVÉL AIRTON SENA DA SILVA. E TAMBÉM ERA UMA PESSOA MUITO EDUCADO COM REPORTERES EMPRESA FEMONENAL SENA.QUE SAUDADE DE VER SENA NAS PISTAS..
He was seems not in his home, there was something between the team persons and he as Ayrton was already in another place. For sure he was not easy to create a relationship ...
The thing was Peugeot had dominated the 1992 and 1993 24 hours of LeMans with their Group C racecars. Ron Dennis had already seen Porsche dominate Group C sportscar racing in the 80's and therefore let Porsche build the TAG V6 turbo, with which McLaren won 3 driver's titles and 2 constructor's titles. Signing Peugeot seemed like a shrew move. Lamborghini struggled with their engines in other teams in the early 90's, and Chrysler didn't want to bankroll the development of the F1 Lambo engine
Es increíble , que Ayrton Senna en 1994 con el Williams Renault no haya podido sumar ningún punto , abandonó en GP de Brasil , accidente en GP del Pacifico ( Aida Japón) y luego su última carrera en Imola , sí hubierán suspendido la carrera el día sábado cuando murió Roland Ratzenberger , Ayrton Senna no hubiera muerto el día Domingo
A brazilian journalist called Flavio Gomes was on the William's garage when Senna finished his first lap with the new car. According to him, the first Senna words after turn off the engine were: "fuck! They fucked with the car just at my turn" Flavio Gomes is one the most important f1 journalists in Brazil and he has the audio recorded in a tape. He tells one day he will upload it.
@orlandorecifebrasil it is Ayrton, you can hear him gently stabbing at the throttle through the corners as he characteristically did. It is just that it was his outlap, brakes and tires were cold and he was still trying to learn the car, it's pretty obvious that he wasn't going to push it to he limit yet.
Actually by 1992 it was perfectly obvious to anybody that Williams had by far the better car, not just the Renault engine. Even if Honda would have produced a more powerful engine, the McLaren chassis of 1992 still wasn't on the same level as the very advanced Williams with all it's active ride height and traction control. Senna was thinking of a sabbatical for 1993 and McLaren had Hakkinen ready to replace him (coming from Lotus), but in the last moment Senna signed a race per race deal.
its sad how uncomfortable senna looks when he climbs (squeezes?) into that deathtrap of a car. then again, all cars prior to 96 (except maybe sauber) were effectively deathtraps.....those low cockpits were just begging for trouble. hindsight is great, but they really shouldve figured that out before all those crashes in 94-95
I have to apologize on this one. The reason why Senna was so uncomfortable with that car is because that is the FW15 in Rothmans colors, and the cockpit was still designed to fit Alain Prost. Williams did make the cockpit bigger with the FW16.
Somethings are hard to understand. It was curious. The collumn pece broke and senna hit the wall in a exactly angle that allowed the same pece hit in on his head and only that. His body was normal. Only his head get hurt. Later he change the whole world of Formula1. Maybe he was choosen by reasons that I don t know to change something maybe worse. Sorry guyd for my poor english. We all miss ayrton in Brazil, and is greatfull to see americans, japaneses u know... all u guys sharing love for our brazilian. Thank u all. Senna is not dead, he s just one lap forward than us.
MichaSpielt He would be angry depending the approach that the person would have used, but if someone had a video of the actual race of 1994 San Marino Grand Prix and would have shown to him, explaining him the reasons and the facts that will take place, then he would have listened and I think very very carefully. Then perhaps not only he would not race that fateful day, but I think he would have break the contract with Williams.
FreeBestplayer123 I find it counter productive since it's a video about Senna test driving the Williams car for that particular season, not just any Williams car.
Actually Benetton had the best car in 1994, but how could Senna have predicted that? Both Senna and Hill complained that the 1994 Williams was nigh on undrivable without all its former electronical driver aid's which made the 1992 and 1993 Williams so dominant. Schumacher on the other hand admitted that until 2002 the best car he had ever driven was the 1994 Benetton. It may not have had the best engine but the chassis was brilliant. Some even say it was illegal. Senna thought so at least.
@azapro911 A Williams mechanic was ordered to take the black-boxes, he had worked with them for years and worked with hundreds of them, he said it was perfectly fine, no damage bar a few scratches on the outside, Williams said it was badly damaged which is the reason the final 1.4 seconds isn't available, the car was destroyed as it was in a state of 'deterioration'. A steering column extension was done very poorly with big cracks appearing where it was welded on. And you say it was the track...
Frank Williams wanted to sign Mika Hakkinen to partner Alain Prost in Williams for 1993. It seemed that as if it was a done deal when Lotus somehow blocked Hakkinen's transfer. When they couldn't get Hakkinen they promoted their test driver Damon Hill to race driver. The rest is history. Then again Hakkinen ended up in McLaren instead, and that was a good story in itself.
RIP Senna. To anyone saying Williams is at fault you are completely wrong. Blame the FIA, they made all these radical rule changes that ended up completely changing the characteristics of the car. Other than Senna, rmember that Ratzenberger died the day before and Barichello had a bad accident on the Friday. There were also bad accidents later in the season. FIA is a perfect example of governments usually not making good decisions.
Sure you can blame the mechanics of the team Williams. They fixed the problem (handlebar and steering wheel) like amateurs. And the last seconds before the impact inclusive the aftermath footage, all erased from the onboard-video. But on the other hand you are right, the cars were really bad after 1991.
Rubens crashed because of his own mistake. Roland died because he broke the front wing of his car and kept racing as nothing happened. Senna crashed because the steering wheel came loose, so his case is the only one to be blamed on team, mechanics and engineers. FIA helped with the coverup for all this, but I’m happy williams became a shitty midfield team simply because of karma. Same to be said about Alonso...
williams' cars in '94 had formidable problems with the steering rack and front suspension. if you watch highlights of the '94 british gp you'll see the front of hill's car suddenly come apart.....
Because Williams had a stronger car. In 92' and 93' Senna( in a Mclaren) lost to the Williams team. He knew they had a better package. He tried to get the Williams seat in 93' but Prost would not allow it. So he took his chance in 94' when Prost retired.
Se você prestar atenção, o carro exibido em 1:49 não é o mesmo carro do onboard em 2:54. A carenagem acima do volante é diferente. If you pay atention, the car at 1:49 it's not the same car at 2:54. The fairing above the steering wheel it's different.
I was at Estoril watching Senna do the tests. It was the first and last time i ever saw Senna live...

He takes understeer lines at apexes like Alonso with Renault and as he lets off gas , the front recovers grip so quickly and the rear kicks out. This is how my 997 gt3 runs like, and it’s really really scary when I was not used to it. 997 GT3 Driver’s fix this characteristics by putting either wider front tires or wheel spacers. I can see that the Williams had too week mechanical front grip for the power it had.
セナ、もはや言わずと知れた
伝説のドライバー
new car? just present new colors, the car is the fw15b without helps electronics
Javier - I'm very interested, is there evidence somewhere that the car was really a modified FW15b?
Estoril baby!
ele foi mais feliz com a roupa da malboro
Had Mclaren gone with the Lamborghini like Senna wanted and not the Pegout for 94 maybe he would have stayed with them.However he wanted the best car to win the title again and he knew that Williams did have the best car for 94 and they did have the best car From 1994 to 1997.
Senna more or less was ready for Williams already for the 1992 season but his loayalty to Honda kept him at Mclaren He did not go to Williams in 1993 because they had signed Prost.
Se um dia criarem uma máquina do tempo eu volto pra avisa-lo do erro. Que saudade!
I remember watching and interview with Luca Di Montezemelo ( Ferrari President ) stating that Senna had told him that he wanted to end his career in a Ferrari, would have loved to have seen Schumacher vs Senna battle it out in the late 90s
During this test, after his first run, he climbed out of the car and said to Brazilian F1 journalist Flávio Gomes: “Holy sh*t, right when it’s my turn to drive the car, they f*cked up the car”.
Years later, Adrian Newey recognized in his book that the 94 car was an “evolution” of the 93 car without the active suspension and electronics. He conceded that they should have taken a page from Williams’ last passive suspension car (91?) and use that as a base of development for 94, making a better car to drive through bumps. The 94 aero (of the beginning of the championship as they evolved and fixed it afterwards) was very sensitive to ride height and while this was ok for the 93 active suspension car, it didn’t work for the 94 passive suspension car.
Quando ele falou isso?
Most people know the onboard is not Senna but Coulthard driving later in the day. None of Senna's cars had an onboard attached in this test. You can see it.
Com certeza estávamos, nós brasileiros, muito triste com o falecimento do Ratzenberger. Senna até levava uma bandeira da Áustria no cockpit. Teve alguém aí que comentou: estar usando uma visão brasileira. Brasileiro é solidário. Mas aconteceu com o Senna também. Hoje vendo Grosjean saindo quase ileso, me alegra ver as mudanças na segurança.
This car was basically an unstable and unleased beast
Neweis fail
+andarax8 , in fact williams was the most stable car at the time. "Unstable and unleashed beast", you can say that of McLaren, though.
+Clímax Contos Eróticos
That the Williams Car was an unstable Beast is just another Fantasy-Story of the Senna Fans. Because MSC was better than Senna in the first two Races of 94 by having a slower Car.
So it was NOT that MSC was faster, NO. Sennas Car was an Unstable Beast.
In real EVERY 94 Car was very unstable. In F1 History the 94, 95 and 96 Cars are the most unstable Cars ever.
97 the Rules made the Cars safer and stable.
+Karl S.
That isn't true because in the early part of the season the Benetton was easier to handle than the Williams. Senna may have put the car on pole in the first three races but on longruns the Benetton was the better car.
As the season progressed Williams got the upper hand but sadly Senna didn't get the chance to win his fourth title.

@@ricardoricardoaugusto6670 ... E certamente Schummacher vigarista, apóstolo do outro vigarista Flávio Briattore; não irião PRATICAR aquela PATIFARIA que fizeram com o Damon Hill naquele GP Austrália 1994. Sei lá... mas vai que o presidente da FIA em 94, fosse, como um outro vigarista Jean-Marie Balestre que inclusive admitiu em 2014 que IN-TEN-CIO-NAL-MEN-TE... procurou prejudicar Senna em 1989; naquele ato autêntico, genuíno de como que um clássico vigarista age, em que Alain Prost jogou o seu Mclaren contra o carro do piloto brasileiro.
@@ezequieloliveira3273 Conversinha mole de viúva do Senna.
@Ricardo Ricardo Augusto Não, ele bateu em duas e rodou sozinho em outra. O carro só quebrou na vez que ele morreu. Informe-se melhor. Em Interlagos rodou sozinho, sem ninguém perto, e ainda deixou o carro morrer.
Se não pela falta de sorriso no semblante de Ayrton Senna, os olhos dele dizem tudo. A cagada que estava aquele modelo Willians. Que se três anos anteriores era uma espaçonave, uma máquina de outro planeta; já agora...naquele momento, em comparação aos protótipos vencedores, uma verdadeira ''ca-rro-ça". Poxa, que decepção não deve ter sido pra ele.
Apparently he was shocked how bad the car was. Sadly, Newey was only able to make the car truly competitive a few races after his death. I believe had he not been so anxious about the car, and its many flaws, and he had no died, of course, there is a chance he could have won the title in '94.
The footage from 3:05 onwards is actually David Coulthard
You can see that the car is unstable. Senna didn't like it, it's clear in the expression on his face. Senna wanted to drive the FW15C adapted to the 94 regulations. He liked the car, it was fast and more reliable. Adrian Newey and Patrick Head did not accept.
O Senna nunca teve um semblante tranquilo dentro desse carro.
Senna was not just a brilliant racing driver but an engineer's racing driver.
sternumagnum Do you think? Senna was the best!!
Those cars barely had any protection. His whole upper body is basically exposed.
And yet had better looking designs and better sounding engines
@@grandeconsagrado2865 but no safety for the drivers
@@jansonb482 it had some safety tho
the cars was made of a material that could resist a frontal impact.
@@grandeconsagrado2865 last time i checked sennas skull had a frontal impact with his suspension and the cars material didnt do jack shit
@@vincent-go2jj as I was saying frontal impact. Senna had a bad luck bcz of that suspension that hit his head.
nesse video da pra ver como os aparatos eletronicos fizeram falta nesse carro, o carro era muito forte, motor potente e tudo mais mas sem os controles de tração e estabilidade se mostrou ser um cavalo selvagem pra domar.. coitado do senna, o sonho virou um pesadelo ! que esteja em paz !!
God, Miss that v12 engine
Boa noite. SENA ERA UM GRANDE PILOTO DE FORMULA 1 .UNESQUECIVÉL AIRTON SENA DA SILVA. E TAMBÉM ERA UMA PESSOA MUITO EDUCADO COM REPORTERES EMPRESA FEMONENAL SENA.QUE SAUDADE DE VER SENA NAS PISTAS..
I love The sound
He was seems not in his home, there was something between the team persons and he as Ayrton was already in another place. For sure he was not easy to create a relationship ...
The thing was Peugeot had dominated the 1992 and 1993 24 hours of LeMans with their Group C racecars. Ron Dennis had already seen Porsche dominate Group C sportscar racing in the 80's and therefore let Porsche build the TAG V6 turbo, with which McLaren won 3 driver's titles and 2 constructor's titles. Signing Peugeot seemed like a shrew move.
Lamborghini struggled with their engines in other teams in the early 90's, and Chrysler didn't want to bankroll the development of the F1 Lambo engine
"Steering wheel is too far", said Ayrton.
Es increíble , que Ayrton Senna en 1994 con el Williams Renault no haya podido sumar ningún punto , abandonó en GP de Brasil , accidente en GP del Pacifico ( Aida Japón) y luego su última carrera en Imola , sí hubierán suspendido la carrera el día sábado cuando murió Roland Ratzenberger , Ayrton Senna no hubiera muerto el día Domingo
A brazilian journalist called Flavio Gomes was on the William's garage when Senna finished his first lap with the new car. According to him, the first Senna words after turn off the engine were: "fuck! They fucked with the car just at my turn"
Flavio Gomes is one the most important f1 journalists in Brazil and he has the audio recorded in a tape. He tells one day he will upload it.
@orlandorecifebrasil it is Ayrton, you can hear him gently stabbing at the throttle through the corners as he characteristically did. It is just that it was his outlap, brakes and tires were cold and he was still trying to learn the car, it's pretty obvious that he wasn't going to push it to he limit yet.
Actually by 1992 it was perfectly obvious to anybody that Williams had by far the better car, not just the Renault engine. Even if Honda would have produced a more powerful engine, the McLaren chassis of 1992 still wasn't on the same level as the very advanced Williams with all it's active ride height and traction control.
Senna was thinking of a sabbatical for 1993 and McLaren had Hakkinen ready to replace him (coming from Lotus), but in the last moment Senna signed a race per race deal.
Proper F1 cars. Not the hybrid rubbish of today. Love the sound. We miss you Ayrton.
Interesting video. Obviously the steering wheel isnt flexing like a wet noodle in Imola.
Bem na vez de Senna entregaram uma carroça.
Essa é a melhor definição...
That legendary Renault V10!
its sad how uncomfortable senna looks when he climbs (squeezes?) into that deathtrap of a car. then again, all cars prior to 96 (except maybe sauber) were effectively deathtraps.....those low cockpits were just begging for trouble. hindsight is great, but they really shouldve figured that out before all those crashes in 94-95
there is onboard footage right up until Tamburello.
Forever the best
onboard looks like coulthard is driving
I have to apologize on this one. The reason why Senna was so uncomfortable with that car is because that is the FW15 in Rothmans colors, and the cockpit was still designed to fit Alain Prost. Williams did make the cockpit bigger with the FW16.
Somethings are hard to understand. It was curious. The collumn pece broke and senna hit the wall in a exactly angle that allowed the same pece hit in on his head and only that. His body was normal. Only his head get hurt. Later he change the whole world of Formula1. Maybe he was choosen by reasons that I don t know to change something maybe worse. Sorry guyd for my poor english. We all miss ayrton in Brazil, and is greatfull to see americans, japaneses u know... all u guys sharing love for our brazilian. Thank u all. Senna is not dead, he s just one lap forward than us.
I wonder what Senna would have said when the would have said to him: "Hey Ayrton, this is the car in which you gonna die"
MichaSpielt He would be angry depending the approach that the person would have used, but if someone had a video of the actual race of 1994 San Marino Grand Prix and would have shown to him, explaining him the reasons and the facts that will take place, then he would have listened and I think very very carefully. Then perhaps not only he would not race that fateful day, but I think he would have break the contract with Williams.
George Voudouris I would show him the testimonies of the team owner at the judgment in 1997... explaining that the crash was an Ayrton's mistake....
This Is The FW15D. Not The FW16.
Danny C Yeah a defense team does that lol
2.54 only a real F1 fan knows its David Coulthard driving that car ,see the helmet
True
Why would they show someone else's driving when it's about Senna test driving the Williams' car?
thaik56 maybe because they couldn't get the footage of senna?
FreeBestplayer123 I find it counter productive since it's a video about Senna test driving the Williams car for that particular season, not just any Williams car.
Yep....says it all about williams then then..
Actually Benetton had the best car in 1994, but how could Senna have predicted that?
Both Senna and Hill complained that the 1994 Williams was nigh on undrivable without all its former electronical driver aid's which made the 1992 and 1993 Williams so dominant. Schumacher on the other hand admitted that until 2002 the best car he had ever driven was the 1994 Benetton. It may not have had the best engine but the chassis was brilliant. Some even say it was illegal. Senna thought so at least.
Creo que si no se hubiera muerto, ganaba ese campeonato de 1994.
And If youre wondering why the seat was small its because this is actually a Williams Fw15 in Rothmans colors
If Ayrton had only signed for Benetton that year he’d have crushed everyone and still be alive
@azapro911 A Williams mechanic was ordered to take the black-boxes, he had worked with them for years and worked with hundreds of them, he said it was perfectly fine, no damage bar a few scratches on the outside, Williams said it was badly damaged which is the reason the final 1.4 seconds isn't available, the car was destroyed as it was in a state of 'deterioration'. A steering column extension was done very poorly with big cracks appearing where it was welded on. And you say it was the track...
▬ Damn car.
Welcome to 2021 guys
1994 would be his 4th world championship
Frank Williams wanted to sign Mika Hakkinen to partner Alain Prost in Williams for 1993. It seemed that as if it was a done deal when Lotus somehow blocked Hakkinen's transfer. When they couldn't get Hakkinen they promoted their test driver Damon Hill to race driver. The rest is history.
Then again Hakkinen ended up in McLaren instead, and that was a good story in itself.
I love Estoril track!!!!
SENNA ERA FORA DO COMUM O MELHOR PILOTO QUE JÁ EXISTIU SUA VELOCIDADE ERA UMA FORÇA DA NATUREZA UM INFERNO 👑
RIP Senna. To anyone saying Williams is at fault you are completely wrong. Blame the FIA, they made all these radical rule changes that ended up completely changing the characteristics of the car. Other than Senna, rmember that Ratzenberger died the day before and Barichello had a bad accident on the Friday. There were also bad accidents later in the season. FIA is a perfect example of governments usually not making good decisions.
Sure you can blame the mechanics of the team Williams. They fixed the problem (handlebar and steering wheel) like amateurs. And the last seconds before the impact inclusive the aftermath footage, all erased from the onboard-video. But on the other hand you are right, the cars were really bad after 1991.
JC Denton specifically,blame balestre
Rubens crashed because of his own mistake. Roland died because he broke the front wing of his car and kept racing as nothing happened. Senna crashed because the steering wheel came loose, so his case is the only one to be blamed on team, mechanics and engineers. FIA helped with the coverup for all this, but I’m happy williams became a shitty midfield team simply because of karma. Same to be said about Alonso...
Rules had very little to do with it. Senna crashed because the steering column broke.
williams' cars in '94 had formidable problems with the steering rack and front suspension. if you watch highlights of the '94 british gp you'll see the front of hill's car suddenly come apart.....
Because Williams had a stronger car. In 92' and 93' Senna( in a Mclaren) lost to the Williams team. He knew they had a better package. He tried to get the Williams seat in 93' but Prost would not allow it. So he took his chance in 94' when Prost retired.
Se você prestar atenção, o carro exibido em 1:49 não é o mesmo carro do onboard em 2:54. A carenagem acima do volante é diferente.
If you pay atention, the car at 1:49 it's not the same car at 2:54. The fairing above the steering wheel it's different.
Os testes foram feitos no fw15 com algumas modificações
