Feel free to watch this next - The Greatest Lap in F1 history: czcams.com/video/NWgNYS2a68A/video.htmlsi=n9MorrwyVL2H-7lX
I think it's very disingenuous to say that formula 1 fans were shocked when Senna died. A fans didn't know by then that the sport was extremely dangerous then you're never gonna get it. And it's the fans that are responsible for all the deaths because you people keep paying for it. But never once said it should be safer and made it a demand of the fans to protect the drivers. And everybody loves a crash when they survive.
I miss him … NEVER be another like him .
SENNA a name that will ALWAYS 👈 be the benchmark. 🇧🇷 RIP Ayrton
So is M.Schumacher!...isn´t it ironic, that these two icons of the sport had so sad fates....'?
Ain't that the fuckin truth one in a million
@@bluforcemotors so is there speciality just the race wins or what is sooo special? Schumacher cheated a few times. he was very aggressive. what makes him soo special? if i may ask
He was a cowboy.
Cowboy my ass he was a god on earth 🌎 he was the greatest race driver that ever lived
Senna. I will never get over it. Half my life ago and it still smashes me.
Absolutely
❤
Same Same here
Same here
I feel exactly the same.
I am brazilian, 37 yr and I can still remember Senna's live coverage funeral on TV, it was lunch time and I was getting ready to go to school. It was a national tragedy. His last 2 girlfriends, HUGE celebrities in Brazil, we all still remember him with love and his girlfriend at the time still repeats to this day he didnt want to do that race and was very very upset with the car.
If I remember correctly, there was a moment captured where the camera zoomed in on Senna when he pitted, his face just showed that he was upset but ready. Just by the look, I had a feeling that he knew he was gonna die.
My life was never same after, left indelible image in my head
But they say Galisteu is a fraud. And it's rubbish that he was photographed there without helmet just before race start, because he did it before. And everyone was sombre that day.
Yes. Yes, he knew.
Are you kidding me????
Even 30 years later, it still feels like the day i saw it all unfold watching it live on tv. Heartbreaking. R.I.P Legend 😢
Just a year earlier, I was one of many who were astonished by Senna driving the greatest lap of all time at Donington.
Haha,no it wasnt! He had a car set up for the wet while others didn't.
He had far more difficult races
@@ronchappel4812 Right, not him running with slicks in wet condition, needing to have 5 pits
And others teams and drivers would never imagine that would rain, just Senna
Great logic bro
Greatest driver ever to sit in a f1 car. The man was a total god
The greatest driver of his generation is an understatement if it's Senna we're talking about.
Not the Greatest of his Generation,the Best ever.👍👍👍 10:44
@@ricardagottschalk_duran2677 Absolutely 💯
The amount of footage you’ve used, in combination with your ability as a presenter, is excellent. I’ll be watching more!
Thank you!!
I'll second that!
I’ll thrice that lol
If Ayrton Senna never raced for that bloody team he would still be alive today. The car was a bloody death trap. And Williams to this day should have been bought to justice over the great mans death.
Wrong when your time is up it’s up you can’t escape what god has for you and everyone everything will taste death
@@MrFrosty888 what stupid way to look at life, you must be a funeral director for sure.
@@MrFrosty888There is no god.. ffs don't be silly.
The suspension let go or steering rack snapped watch footage can see him turning wheel car flys straight on
@@SteveT-0 Well said. 5 minutes reading any science, geology and the Big Bang but still people pray to an imaginary man in the sky. Complete madness.
Damon did a fantastic job of galvanising the team after Senna's death, in the same way his father, Graham did with Lotus after Jim Clark's death, coincidentally both by winning the Spanish GP.
the parallels are very eerie
The whole team did
I have all the time in the wolrd for Damon Hill - a criminally underrated driver, and seems and absolute sweetheart of a bloke too. It's ironic that I now live not too far from where Damon Hill went to school and where his father was tragically killed in an aircrash, add to that I rented a room from a former classmate too.
Sad but true fact: Dale Earnhardt who had won Talladega dedicated the win in his memory before sharing the same demise 7 years later at the Daytona 500
I remember that interview from victory lane.
That's how I first learned off his death. I hadn't watched the F1 race cuz it aired at 4am where I live. I caught the end of the Nascar race and Dale's victory lane interview and heard him say "my condolences to the Senna family..." and I was like wtf, was shocked. I idolized Senna as a teen when I raced karts.
Yep I was watching that race. I remember that.
I have the highest esteem for Damon Hill. His mental strength is unequalled in these circumstances. How he rose to the level he did to become world champion is something that should be told in a proper heroic Hollywood production.
...And without dirty moves, cheating and deliberate crashing Hill would have honoured Senna's death with a world championship.
Without the fia trying their best to get williams in the title fight with those ridiculous bans, it should've never came down to the last race.
But I'm sure you remember the 95 season and those shady crashes hill had...right ?
@@MooncricketsInc
Your rethoric is blaming the victim and protecting the villain.
When FIA took a blind eye on Schumacher's deliberate crash in last race of 1994, they set the precedent for that kind of behavior.
And proof for that is Schumacher's second attempt in 1997 to deliberately crash into Villeneuve.
@Marko-od7eb
Hill is a victim, but totally fine with his actions the following season and all the shady shite Williams did.
Keep crying and wipe your mouth when you're done fuckboy.
@Marko-od7eb
Hill isn't a victim. He crashed into Schumacher the following year on purpose.
Cope,cry, and dick ride him all you want. Your boy did some shady shite too.
Wow man this has been more entertaining than some official videos
Oh wow, thank you so much!
That's one of the best compliments you can give!
I've taken a screenshot of your comment & saved it 😅
@@andychatsf1 it’s true I kept going back every day to finish it as kids don’t give me a lot of time…hoping you’ll do one on Alonso or Raikkonen
Well told story and a wonderful tribute to both Hills. This touched me personally as I had the great pleasure of shaking Graham's hand as he worked the crowd after being presented his trophy by the Prince in '63. Still display the race poster un-stapled off a telephone pole for my by my dad. Sat front row center behind hay bales on the Gasworks hairpin. Ah; the great old days!
SENNA LEGEND FOREVER 1994-2024 ÍMOLA.
I will never forget that day. I knew he was gone in the aftermath of the coverage. His body twitched before his head rolled and I knew he was gone. It was truly heartbreaking cos Ayrton was my hero.
This mini documentary is excellent. Well done.
Throughly enjoyable
Many thanks!
I remember this all very well. To this day I still have a heavy heart when I think of the day we lost Senna. I probably always will.
Almost as shocking as Senna's death was the Police investigation into the accident. I remember thinking how cruel to the team to not only be mourning the loss of a great driver, their driver but then having to defend themselves as the focus and blame quickly turned to Frank Williams and his team. They didn't deserve this and thankfully they were acquitted of any responsibility in his death. Great video,
They did deserve it though, if not for a very poor weld on his steering column, the crash would never have happened. The blame lies soley with Williams and whoever signed off that weld.. Newey? Head?
They should have got jail abd Hill and coulthard at court remembering fook all.... crooks ....
Such a well done vid. So respectful and unapologetically raw. I remember watching the race as a kid and not really understanding what had happened. This really covered the event so well. Subbed.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
I was too in tears at the end. Wow, great vid! Thank you mate!
Wow, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great refreshing on the sad atmosphere of the year 94!
Thanks for the video mate..
My pleasure.. thanks for watching!
I have often wished I had had access to Formula 1 way earlier in life.
But I'm glad I wasn't yet a fan when this happened.
Selfishly, I'm glad I missed the horror of that weekend.
I could only say, Great work! Like the other comment said the footage/images used + your way of presenting is great. Looking forward to your next works.
Thank you! The footage definitely helps tell the story better.
thank you for sharing this
Thank you for stopping by
Willem Toet who was the head of aerodynamics at the time in Benetton, confirmed in an interview in recent years that the B194 did indeed use a Launch control system as well as traction control. Which explains why Schumacher usually had good starts. Just look at 14:12 the Benettons are the first to move in the entire grid
Beautiful bro! Always beautiful ❤
Thanks bro, much appreciated! 🙌
Thanks Damon.
Nice piece Andy, had me fully engaged on a subject dear to my heart, thank you.
You're very welcome! Thanks so much for stopping by!
4:47 because Benetton was cheating with refueling
True! And Senna knew there was something going on with Benetton
Thank you, i really enjoyed your video and thank you for the respect you showed when speaking of the great Ayrton Senna.
RIP Ayrton Senna
Really professionally put together, thank you.
Thank you so much!
That was brilliant! I already know all this, but I was still sitting on the edge of my seat. Very, very well done.
Wow, thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Fantastic job thank you posting,
Thanks for stopping by!
I just found your channel, and this is the first video I've watched. You are an incredible storyteller. I can't wait to watch what else you've got. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
This was absolutely fantastic. Thank you for this. This was EPIC. THANK YOU 🙏🏼
Bless you, thank you so much for stopping by and commenting.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
amazing video! 😢
This was really well done. Thank you.
Many thanks for stopping by!
Glad you enjoyed it
That was very well done. Really enjoyed watching and listening to your narration… thanks .
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video.
The crazy fact is that Damon Hill won the Italian gp after the tragic weekend some monts ago in Imola.
Let s not forget that just after the accident the Williams mechanics went quickly to recover the black box who would be eventually partly erased…..
That could explain the sudden memory loss of Damon Hill on the trial…
As for Schumacher he was driving a car with traction control….and was possibly the dirtiest driver in history…
Karma..
Excellent video ... superbly written, edited & presented. Thanks.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I was in a bad place and I went all the way to Imola to speak to his statue 20 years ago. He was a special man and all the good ones get taken early…..so we can remember them
Great content, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. Thank you!
Thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed it!
Damon Hill should have been a 2x F1 Champion...
Quality content. Like many watching this video I'm a bitnof a senna fan but this pulls lots of things I've read together and excellently illustrated. Thank-you
Thank you!
great video bud....well done!
Thank you!
Lovely video mate, nice one!
Thank you!
Great video! I tend to steer clear of things surrounding senna’s passing. I appreciate the respectful nature of this movie!
Thank you! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch the video & comment.
& yeah, I didn't want to go there, even if it meant leaving views on the table.. so be it.
Thanks again!
Very good video and well narrated with great music. Top notch thanks 🙏
Thank you!
you really brighten up my day. thanks a lot and thx to yt algorithms
Wow, thanks.. really glad the video brighten up your day!
The GOAT. No one else comes close
Max Verstappen
Max is the class of the field by far right now, and has otherworldly speed, but he hasn't had a all time great teammate as Senna did with Prost. Senna was clearly faster than Prost, though less consistent and less risk averse.
It is clear Verstappen is a generational talent, but would love be to see him paired with one of the best currently out there to help determine how much is Max and how much is Red Bull Racing.
@@greglemon230 So are you saying that Max has it to easy right now?
@@seandp85 absolute peak delusion to even put him in the top 10 lol
You fanboys are out of control. He's had the fastest car by a mile for years now and needed FIA help to win his first
@@seandp85i admid that indeed Verstappen has also that talent.
That's why the Brazilian racefans love verstappen. They see the likeness.
Good vid dude! keep it up! 🙌
Thank you!
incredible insight. Your a fantastic story teller
Thank you!
I will always be a fan of Hill starting with number O
3:57 Senna being Senna ....
great vidio
I love that quote from Ian Harrison; 'It's not in the rig, it's not on the floor, it's in the car' It reminds me of a quote from Robert Kubica at Monaco one year. His team were panicking about tyre choice until he told them that rain doesn't fall from a cloudless sky
😭🇧🇷 Always Senna .
Thank you🙏🏻 the world needs new Senna content
It sure does! Thanks for stopping by
Really good video! Keep them coming! 😃
Thank you! Will do! :)
The era of Senna et al was the best F1 racing it was tragic that he lost his life at Imola but his spirit lives on
👏👏👏 excellent, well researched and narrated video about my favorite F1 era. (not for the casualties obviously)
Thank you!
Damon Hill was severely underrated.
Im the entire video build close to the water. but damn, great video man!
Thank you!
great channel you have here my friend!
Very good! Well done with the dramatic commentary!
Thank you!
Great video. Subscribed.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
More on the way
great video, a well told story.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by!
What a great documentary well done Andy...
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
Ayrton senna the best driver.
Enjoyed video ! I go back to the days of Graham Hill and Jim Clark at Indianapolis.
Thank you! Jim Clark was my father's favourite driver... always said he's the greatest
Really a well-made video!!!
Many thanks!!
nobody talks about how good hakkinen was from 94 to 98 in a disaster of a car.
Hakkinen 94 was a mess, that is why he was banned
If you knew the story of the Hill family and the unfortunate plane crash with Graham Hill as the pilot 94-96 was unbelievably tough for Damon Hill personally and profesionally. People now may not think of him that highly but what a test of character he had to go through and he delivered brilliantly
❤🕊️
It's bizarre seeing how lax the safety regs were back then.
And the pit stops, compared to today, gave drivers a chance to pitch camp and catch a catnap before continuing on in the race.
That was an exceptional documentary 👍👏🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for stopping by
Would love to hear inside info more that it's 30 years later as to the truth of what happened in the car.
We do know that a piece of metal hit Senna helmet going in above his right eye.
The real truth needs to come out.
Tears in my eyes at the end which means this is a good video! ❤
Thank you!
Senna is the perfect embodiment of a driver and a human being. He peaked my interest in Christianity and the lead me to a local church where a good friend of myn who was going down a bad bad path was saved. Not looked back since.
He became a born-again Christian at a race in 1988 when he felt the presence of the Lord in his car.
@@barbaraaraujo7700 Yep that is correct. I've read his biography and read many articles and watch so much tape/videos on him.
It is a real shame Bruno didn't live up to the expectations put on him but those are the highest level of expectations
Senna is the goat of F1
Only argument is Schumacher.. both greats
Wow! I'm not a racing fan. I heard about his death back then as it was on the news. Was never particularly interested. But this had me locked in from start to finish. This should be televised as it's better than any footage I've watched about the events. Brilliant, although sad. Great detailed insight presented so that even I can understand. Thank you x
Aww thank you so much for the lovely comment. It means so much! I’ve taken a screenshot of it to keep safe lol
I’m glad you gave the video a try and you really enjoyed it.
Many thanks once again!
8:00 Yes, a woman with an apple watch definitely cried at that moment. Can confirm
She obviously owns a DeLorean
I loved that man. I’m not Brazilian and I’m not gay. He always looked like the coolest guy around, a mans man yet humble looking. I was crushed when he died, I was angry. All 4 of my kids including my two sons were already born or I would have named one of my sons Ayrton. I named my dog Ayrton. Countless people would say oh that’s such an unusual name for a dog and I would lovingly tell them that he’s named after the late great Ayrton Senna.
Im cryng for all day 8 years old child ...😢
Oooo... GOD, up there in the sky... 😪
Why he's gone so early...?!
I was a child... and saw That bloody race...
Today,... 30years just gone in a secand,, like it was...
I will love and miss, and he will be always...
Senna Forever... 🇧🇷
Hill: The man that forgot everything at the Senna trial....
LOL 😂 😂 its called amnesia
Alexandrosathansopoulos9654. He probably got cajoled into being "economical with the truth" by Frank and Patrick.
@@alistairbartlett6569lol nicely worded
FiA was to blame .... to grace period for those abrupt banning of F1 technology .... its ridiculous to banned this tech and dat tech with immediate effect. Unfortunately, the banned items were the software brain to help the suspension hardware for the Williams handling. .... instead of having it available and open for all to develop it, FiA choose to blanket banned it bcoz William had a 2 seasons head start .... the blood is on FiA's hand
David Coulthard also. He said the steering wheel was supposed to move all over the cockpit. Total lies.
Nice job
Good video mate 👍🏿 and thank you for putting that together
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job Andy
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Your video is fantastic. I just subscribed and I am looking forward for more
Thank you for stopping by. I've got more planned!
@@andychatsf1 Thanks, man. Love the way you tell the story and the edition is stellar.
Super video.
Thank you!
I will never forget that May 1st. I was in Brazil at the time, I turned on the TV the moment the accident happened.
I was watching the race live when it happened and was shattered when the news came through. I still remember it like it was yesterday. 😢
Nice video. Showing how Hill was just as fast as Schumi stuck in 5th gear :D
lol!
You have to admit though, for how late Hill started racing. He did well to achieve what he did.
His story always hits me hard I was 35 w/a 3 yr old n wife at time, i hate he didnt get to Father a child, or love grandkids, God surely didnt need him this soon, Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Anything organized at Imola to commemorate the 30th anniversary? Thanks for putting up this. Always in our hearts and mind! Race in Peace.
