- NEW LONGER EDIT - Senna's last PERSONAL and REVEALING interview as a Maclaren driver. He is humble and reflective. He talks about Punching Eddie Irvine at Suzuka (Should Irvine had moved over as he was a backmarker and where were the blue flags?). Senna's thoughts on PROST, his views on critics, why he is driving for Williams, Frank Williams saying Senna is the best 'piece of equipment' for them, Jackie Stewart says he needs to go to 'charm school'. Murray Walker's RARE opinion on his personality and Senna's style in and out of the car.
The interview is by Australian Interviewer Neil Kearney at the 1993 Australian Grand Prix which was also his last grand prix win. - Sport
"You have to do things the way you feel right, not what people expect you to do, cause otherwise you're nobody"
What a legend this man
Underrated reflection right there 💯
Senna rented a house in broom close Esher and I was lucky enough to meet the legend who was a very friendly happy generous man
RIP Ayrton🕯
,,,,yes but you wouldn't want to have raced him or raced with him!!!

Been a Senna fan for 31 years now, never seen this before. Thanks for the upload!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank Mandela Eff
@@HerrStaaleWhat has this to do with the Mandela effect? Its not about stuff cones out of nowhere. It’s about false memories.
Senna was a good driver but also an unsafe driver . Alain Prost who’s nickname was “The Professor” was just better than Senna .
@@pl-mn2roI would say he was a ruthless driver and dangerous for the others. It was only a question of time when he would have an accident. When it happened I lived in Brazil and I could see the brazilian way of driving in the city every day... All the hype about him you can only achieve when you're dead....
I see how at the time they didn't understand his motivation to be so natural and realistic but also philosophical and hypothetical. Hes a contradiction. And he always speaks his truth from the heart. Ive watched him for hours just talking and I've never thought he lied to the camera or me. Hes a genuine human and amazing competitor.
Seems the same fans who praise Senna are also the same fans who critique drivers like Schumacher and Verstappen for the very same style of aggressive dirty driving, all I'm asking is don't be a hypocrite, if your going to praise a dirty driver like Senna at least be consistent with relation to other aggressive drivers
@@mathewhosier9739 I think Max Verstappen is on the same level as Senna if someone who raced against him says so. So yeah, its the same thing. Michael is able to race Senna too but he never actually got to beat him, that's why its heartbreaking.
@@mathewhosier9739Most of us all are just fans, onlookers without the slightest idea of how and what it is to drive in whatever serious competition.
Being passenger in a slower two seater on an empty track would make the most of us crap our pants, let standing being in a race.
To me the “old” drivers are all heroes.
So you must lean left...this is about Senna and you have to bad mouth Verstappen. Must really have hurt but that he smacked down Lewis the last couple of years.@@mathewhosier9739
Verstappen like Senna doesn't kiss a$$...people can't handle honesty.
Senna and Mclaren were a match made in heaven, we were lucky to have witnessed their greatness ❤
Every single one of his answers is considered, reflective, and reflects charm and humility. He really was a once in a lifetime talent. There'll be no one quite like Senna.
max is also once in a lifetime talent and he has matured beyond his age already. i wish senna had matured his style (less aggressive) he may still be living today.
The williams car killed Senna not his driving style. I think Ayrton would eat Max alive. The cars of today lack one essential element for a racing car, that is the car won't kill you.@@tiax1592
@@tiax1592what killed him has nothing to do with his style
@@tiax1592 Max is only ever calm when he's 1st. Any lower than that and he sees red. Until 2021 (possibly even 2022) he had only ever won from the front row once. His problem isn't necessarily aggression - that's merely a symptom of his masked low confidence.
@@Snufflegrunt Verstappen is not content with being the first loser. No one will remember who finished 2nd. Winners win, and only want to win. I don't blame the guy for being pissed off when he places 2nd
Thanks for this,Im 71 years old,bean a motor racing fan since I was a child,Senna was the best I ever saw,Max just might be close,unlike a lot of champions(like Lewis) Senna drove some poor cars and did great things with them,cant compare drivers from diferent times,but in my life ,I dont think Ive sean better.PEACE AND LOVE,
Peace and love to you too. Fangio and Clark were the only drivers who were virtually untouchable. The others, Senna, Schumacher, Prost, Stewart, Moss and one or two others, could all be beaten in similar cars and conditions.
@@stuartbritton4811sorry but you need to watch more things about Senna… NO ONE in F1 history has the intuitive talent Senna possessed
Yes
When has Max been in a bad car??
@@Phantom096 ... probably one of the stupidest comments you can read *from Lewis fan.
Only these media dogs presented Senna in a derogative way, everyone else who knew him well know what a great man and human being he was. This video was more about wanting to make him look like a disturbed guy than anything else. No footage of any of his brilliance on the track, just a showing of racing accidents. The necessity to bring down a South American professional with stupid questions, clown-like affirmations and controversy, making him appear a savage, just shows how the British and Europeans were not comfortable with him being a champion. Shame on you, jealous vultures who never will get to the heels of Senna
People like Jack Stewart are part of the system in F1, they don't accept a non-European driver being a winner, that's why they said all this shit
That explais a lot, why the F1 owners try to get rid of brazilians drivers, cos they know what these pilots are capable of.
Senna was a gift from heaven.
What a champion, what a MAN.
Legend.
So he went back to heaven at a very young age.... Better not to be a gift from heaven and be alive .....

Aryton senna competitive nature and general outlook of his growth as a man, has been a great influence on me.
As you know he was 34 when he passed.The punching incident happened when he was 33.It's impossible to know what Senna would have thought of the incident in his 50s. He was a work in progress like all of us, but I believe this wasn't his best moment.
Exactly. He wasn't best pleased when Mansell went medieval on him.@@297banu

Damn hearing Sir Jackie Stewart say “modern era” in 1993 is something
They are calling modern era nowadays. In 50, 100 years from now people will have the same reaction as you do today: "oh, they were saying 'moderna era' in 2024!" 😂
When the 90s rolled around, they were considered modern times. And I'd say 1993 was pretty modern compared to the 1960s when Jackie was driving... there was barely any safety back then! Jackie went off the track and couldn't even be found in the vegetation! Jackie then took it upon himself to strap a spanner to his steering wheel as a safety measure in case he was ever trapped again! That's f**ked! 🤣
Always loved him. Glad that I got to see him race live a few times (Detroit GPs).
Too young to have seen/enjoyed these rivalries, but man Senna vs. Prost, Senna vs. MSC...the glory days of F1
Better era!
I have been watching F1 for 35 years. I can say hand on heart I have not seen a driver like him since. That 1993 season was phenomenal, he had no business fighting at front much less winning races. He drove his heart out and it was incredible to see. These days sometimes Max reminds me of Senna , for example that qualifying lap at Jedah in 2021 before he crashed in the last corner. But watching Senna in 93 sometimes it felt like you were watching something special. It was great.
1993 was my favourite season too - Senna was indeed a phenomenon. Definitely agree that there has been no one like him since, although can't agree that MV reminds me of him at all.
@@jimsin101MV is best ever.
This feels like a hit piece but he wasn't taking the bait. Legend.
It had all the malicious intent. From the presentation to the questions asked.
All die hard F1 fans from Australia 🇦🇺
Loved and miss this human ❤️ 🐐❤️
And Adelaide track
Never seen this before! The interviewer makes a point of proving Senna is human at the start of the video, but that’s why we love him. We know he bled the exact same blood as us. Will always be grateful to him for introducing me to this sport, albeit 18 years after his death.
Senna was a genius. What he achieved in his first ever test with Williams with the previous year’s car beating by a second in Donington Park the best time that the team did in just 26 laps was astonishing. Then Silverstone test with McLaren. The rest is history.
Frank should have signed him...Maybe champion as early as '85? Easy wins in 1986 and 1987. Honda most likely stick with Williams past 1988...Who knows how many championships they would have won. He'd also most likely still be alive.
@@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044 Agreed
Jackie NEVER like Senna. Stewart is an arrogant ass
@@learoast This all happened most likely before you were born. I think you need to let it go.
I don't think that he was a genius because as a genius you should not always blame the others. In my opinion a genius should be good in his job and good with others...

As a brazilian and a also a Senna Fan, thank you very much for this interview.
This man was an honorable human being & great competitor.
I was able to watch all of the F1 races he did live on TV. He was a very rare talent.
Senna, Clark were in another league, absolute perfection. Rest in peace champions
Prost was absolutely in the same league.
@@dzonibravo7867 Totally agreed.
PERFECTION ?? Give me a break !! A perfect racing GOD like Senna could'nt hear , feel , or sense that something was wrong with his car and just kept driving the hell out of it until he crashed and died ?? He was'nt as "talented" as everyone says. He crashed into countless other drivers , putting them out of the race. He was irresponsible not only with his life , but with his competitors lives as well. Reckless people like Senna , always die young.
@@JIA1327 it's your opinion,get more infomation before writting garbage like this!
@@JIA1327 Senna and Prost while both in Mclaren were driving the most dominate cars in F1 and even still Senna frequently got pole position in front of Prost by more than a second, that is an unbelievable gap when you realize Prost is also one of the best drivers at that time
It doesn't matter if he crashed into people he was still the fastest man put in an F1 car in that era and many consider him the best driver ever, Schumacher said it himself
You are either an imbecile or someone with too much time on their hands trying to get reactions out of people because no way a level headed person will look at Senna's career and say he is not the best F1 driver ever
I would have floored Irvine too just based off of his hair and his wardrobe choice
I've never watched any of Senna's interviews until this video. He reminded me of Fernando Alonso; they have very similar personalities - careful and precise in their words, intense, not a particularly jolly person but neither are they angry; just a straightforward serious person, and as a listener, there is a sense of satisfaction in hearing someone like him. I really liked his ability to disregard the pointlessly controversial questions; I think that's the mark of a very stoic and confident character. A great person taken from us too soon.
SENNA. SIMPLY THE BEST .
Senna was right about that corner in the picture being at Monaco.
neah ,it was adelaide...
Adelaide has never had red and white kerbstones. They have been either blue and white or yellow, red and blue. In the year of that painting/picture, it was blue and white.
@@P1nkR inconsequential to your point, but I thought I'd add anyway - in 1985 the kerbing was green and white
He said Monte Carlo. Let's remember : Senna was the King in Monaco. He knew it as the back of his hand.
Great upload, thanks. I was at that GP, saw Senna win and after the race he came on stage with Tina Turner as she sang 'Simply the Best'. Ripper moment in time I'll never forget. Cheers
I've watched this three times now. This is such a gem, especially for an Australian Ayrton Senna fan like myself. Thank you for posting this!
Putting aside the loss to F1 racing and the fans missing out on Senna winning more championships, the greater loss is to the people of Brazil and the world. This man could have run for president and would have won. Senna's contributions still make a difference today to many poor and minorities in his country. Great man, his death is a stain on F1 forever. RIP Mr. Senna.
I doubt he would of won more championships.. There was a bloke called Schumacher who was already proving to be better than Senna...
@@jmilne5751I’m sorry but you are completely delusional if you think he wouldn’t have won at least 1 Championship with Williams and potentially another with Ferrari or McLaren! The timeline would have changed and Schumacher would never of had an easy time 1995 and you can forget 1996 and him joining Ferrari! The Williams Senna was driving would have been winning from Monaco onwards!
Not sure why you would say I am delusional, obviously you know nothing about that era. Only regulations kept Senna from winning with Williams, and as history has now showed the world, Benetton was cheating with traction control. As far as Schumacher it took him years to consistently win with Ferrari. Try having an argument and not ad hominem attacks next time. @@callumcc8897
That bloke Schumacher could not place pole in Italy even with traction control and Senna's Williams regulated by F1's B.S. rules. I am pretty confident he would have won more titles.@@jmilne5751
@@callumcc8897 You can ONLY make assumptions... Schumacher was proving/proved to be better... Senna would NEVER had joined Ferrari becuase he ONLY wanted to drive competitive cars at that stage... He offered to drive for free when Mansell made his demands... So Schumacher still would of ended up at Ferrari & winning those titles as he did
what is interesting about the Senna-Irvine confrontation is that leading up to it Gerhard Berger fed Senna some "Schnapps" (shots) and really riled him up to go confront Irvine.
3:27 when senna came into F1, he made a name for himself by getting a backmarker up to the podium and scoring points, challenging drivers of the ilk of Lauda Prost Piquet in inferior machinery
Then youve got eddie irvine who who wants to make a name for himself by unlapping himself in his first race. Big difference, Damon
Yeah well said, as they were trying to state they're case they showed senna tussling with FRONT markers like ah dunno, 1st 2n 3rd....... I was actually laughing as I experience the very same thing within the prism of west of Scotland football. And the dubious intentions and i biased nterests in one team only. We call these writers, presenters, Succulent Lamb......
Tbf Toleman weren’t really backmarkers in 1984, Toleman were just reeeeeeeeally unreliable in 1984.
@@ic3man tbf if you take qualifying into consideration, they definitely werent a front running team........specially if you average out the starting position of both drivers. Regularly starting outside P15 is backmarker by definition, regardless or unreliability
@@1greenMitsi I see your point now. Thanks for the explanation
Thanks for posting, this was awesome!
This was some great footage. Always interesting to listen to Senna's interviews. It's such a shame he's not here with us
What a tragedy! Senna was at the peak of his abilities when he died. Imagine the battle he would have fought with Schumacher or Hakkinen.
I honestly believe that Senna was past his peak in 1994 and had he survived Imola he would have been outpaced by Schumacher. It would have been a great season had he remained at McLaren with Prost having a year of his contract remaining at Williams vs Schumacher at Benneton.
@@jameshogan6142 I doubt, Schumacher finished just one point ahead of Hill, in Brazil before Imola, Senna was lapping Hill, not to mention the three poles. Should have Senna driven the FW16b later that year he would hardly lose the championship.
@@dugoncalves It was a pity that Senna did not complete the full season of 1994. It is true Williams did make tremendous gains in the second half of the year but Schumacher was already so far ahead I believe six wins to Hill's one at the mid way point that he would have being playing catch up and also with a very strong team mate such as Hill competing against him he would not have had things all his own way.
Also he was now the veteran with a younger aggressive driver such as Schumacher who was far more ruthless than Prost and was even more determined to use any tactic against Senna to ensure he won. He was not in the least bit deferential to the older Brazilian and was confident that he had surpassed the rest of the field in terms of prowess.
Senna displaced Prost from Williams believing that car would give him an edge in technology but when Schumacher beat him in the first two races he started complaining that Benneton had superior equipment which he had always accused Prost as using as an excuse when Senna won. There was also a rule of thumb in those days that if a driver had not scored any points in the first two races he was not going to win the championship.
@@jameshogan6142 In no galaxy Hill was a stronger competitor to Senna, he was being lapped by Senna in Brazil. Surely Senna would score more points than Hill, which finished just one point behind Schumacher.
@@dugoncalves Yes but by the same argument Schumacher beat Senna decisively in the first two races demonstrating that he was a much better driver than Senna.
AHHHH!!! I remember watching this interview back in the day. I never thought I'd ever see it again. Thank you for uploading this! It's awesome to see footage of Senna plodding around in my hometown of Adelaide!!
I had the honor of working with Murray in Montreal, what you see is EXACTLY what you got. Great to work with.
Senna show to all layers how to be unique or real...real winner.
I would love to hear Ayrton's thoughts on the old Falcon hire car.
Love, Love, Ayrton Senna for ever ❤ THE BEST 👏👏🏆✨✨✨
I remember watching this as a kid. I love the classical music playing with the slo-mos near the end
It's wonderful to come across an interview with Senna that I haven't seen before. However, my impression is that the editing of this interview aimed to downplay his achievements and sensationalize the way he presented himself on camera. Particularly, Sr. Jack Stewart made unwarranted comments about how Senna should project a more cheerful demeanor. I am glad that Murray Walker, in the end, set the record straight by emphasizing that English was Senna's second language and expressing the challenges he faced in finding the right words for the questions asked.
Well put. I've seen Jack Stewart putting Senna down several times, but now he's asking him to change his personality? To be happy outside racing?
And those 30 seconds of Murray Walker show why he was the greatest F1 pundit.
Well said. He is missed.
Fantastic footage!
Beautiful interview for a beautiful man. RIP Senna...
"Missing interview" but already in broadcasting.... Whatever, really thanks for sharing : )!
"Would anyone pick that race other than senna?"
Yeah, most f1 fans I'd say....
There are so many awesome drivers in that era. Senna, Prost, Piquet, Schumacher, Hakkinen, Hill and countless more.
Thank for this interview…. My nephew is 12y and his name is Ayrton named after senna I make sure to show him this interview I know he’ll love it
Great interview, I have this recorded on vhs but I lost the first part.
Many thanks from Greece!!
Great to see film of Ayrton I've never seen before. Pity the interviewer was totally biased against him!
Same with the press today and Verstappen
This interview is a priceless gem. Ayrton is nowadays a legend by his natural super gifted talent , ferocious flawless driver to defend a victory and a enigmatic peacefully human personality out of sport. Like the Beatles , time made his fame increased year after year. He has gone about 30 years ago. His legendary driver skills will remain forever in all F1 fan memories. . GOAT.
I'm from Adelaide and remember the broadcasts "Wide world of Sports" it was so good every time the Grand Prix came to Adelaide.so many history making races and track side in the pits commentry in Adelaide. Great memories that will never be forgotten.
There should be grand prix at Adelaide, along with the one in Melbourne. That said, I preferred Adelaide to Melbourne.
The difference between the Irvine incident, and all the replays that showed the Senna style was Irvine was a backmarker, not fighting for position like Senna was in each and every one of the replays.
Some of those replays were misleading too e.g. the one where he went up the back of Mansell in Adelaide. Mansell braked way too early for the corner and senna had nowhere to go.
@@nigelkelley3004 What is it with some Senna fans that think he can't be wrong or make a mistake. Irvine was a backmarker and out of order, so its OK to punch him. Mansell braked too early, still not Sennas fault.
If he shot someone you'd probably say that he had no way of knowing the gun was loaded.
He was one of if not the most talented drivers to enter the sport, but that doesn't make him infallible. Not even close.
@@ceirwanof course. There was no excuse for punching Irvine no matter how much of a dickhead he had been. He also shouldn’t have run into Prost on the first corner at Suzuka, although I understand why he did.
The point about that montage is that it was trying to convey a point that wasn’t true. There were some in the media including Jackie Stewart who were running a campaign that he was reckless. He was not involved in more incidents than others and many of the ones he was involved in were not his fault. Including that one with Mansell.
@@nigelkelley3004 I think Jackie Stewart never really forgave him for the Prost incident. Because even Senna knew that his comment about the gap being there was not true. Its one of those quotes that has its own life now, but was originally used to justify going for a gap that never really existed.
And I see Jackies perspective as well, he came from a background of spending much of his life trying to make F1 safer, often incurring the wrath of the press and F1 itself in doing so.
And drivers like Senna did tend to have a a bit of a me me me attitude. (which is arguably part of being one of the best ever) So I can see why he rubbed Jackie the wrong way.
@@ceirwan I think Jackie was being a provocative ass (yes Senna was caught off guard and fibbed). But a favourable assessment of Jackie’s position would be that Jackie drove in an era when contact often meant death and Senna was driving in a different era.
The last period of old f1,senna fly with passengers pick up luggages and go to rent a car around anyone !!!! Could you imagine that today ???
I've been watching and attending F1 races since 1980s, Senna to me is still best there ever was. Regardless of numbers and stats, today's F1 is structured in such way that driver can win multiple championships quite easily if he is in the car that has advantage over the rest of the field and others can't develop their car to compete due to caps and restrictions.
As a person and driver, Senna was simply the best, the only other driver that I'd keep in same discussion, and that's hard for me because I hated the guy, is Schumacher.
The segment at the end is amazing, its the definition of nostalgic. Also the music they used is from the movie Koyaanisqatsi which is well worth watching.
Especially when you're high.
Controversy in any sport is inevitable but makes things more interesting.
We can all lose control to a certain extent in the heat of the moment.
Muy buen video, donde se podra conseguir el libro?
He looked so humble and gentle..Big charity work for orphans...What a talent ! Divine driver ❤
He was anything but, more like arrogant and vindictive. Refusing Derek Warwick a place at Lotus and deliberately smashing into Prost at Japan 1990.
@jameshogan6142 it's funny how you'd say that, but in an interview between Murray Walker and James Hunt, Hunt said that Prost gave absolutely no space to Senna at the 1990 Japanese GP, where Senna was very clearly on the kerbs while on the inside line. As much as I did believe it was Senna's fault till that day, I have a different outlook on what happened after I saw that interview.
@@drsack567 Yes Prost should have given Senna a wide berth that day and taken his chances later in the race. Most drivers would have given way but Senna made no bones about it afterwards openly telling people he had driven into Prost deliberately. It would have been great if Hunt had given a more detailed explanation of driver etiquette in those situations, e.g. in a normal car in a town setting it is customary to give way to traffic on the right hand side at least in my country and to keep left pass right etc.
"I tend to agree with Jackie" not on this occasion, well said Murray.
Thanks a lot!
Who said great Ayrton Senna dyed in Williams Renault F1 w16 car ? He still lives on Digitally lives and will forever
I think you'll find that he DIED, he didn't change colour.
I love how Jackie states Senna may be the greatest driver of "oh the last 20 years or so"
hmmm, that would take you back to.........the end of Jackie Stewart's career 😉
Hahaha...I love Jackie Stewart, but no one ever said he didn't have quite the ego.
I thought the same 😂
27 wins from 99 starts beats Senna's average of wins to Grand Prix starts so he might well be justified in stating that. @@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044
just a nice find i m huge fan of Senna thanks for this content
God I'd forgotten what the old Adelaide Airport entrance looked like.
I never could make my mind up about Senna. I was born too late to see him in his prime, but his death was a shock. But it also caused an awful deification of Senna which makes him superhuman, without flaws, the perfect racing driver. I do believe he is one of the best, with an incredible feel that only the best drivers have. But he also had some obvious flaws, and his ego has gotten the better of him on various occasions. You could say he had more natural speed than Prost, but the frenchman had other qualities, like a keen feel for strategy, pushing only as much as neccesary.
There are some drivers that I believe are a notch above, of which Senna is one. Others are Fangio, Clark, Stewart, Lauda, Prost, Schumacher, Hamilton and Verstappen.
Senna fan myself because he's such a fascinating character. But your assessment is probably the best put together I've read of the whole thing.
I'd agree with all of the above apart from Hamilton.
@@tonycox5625 I don't want to be the Max fan that excludes him. If you look at his career, it has been stellar from the start. He has the most race wins ever and most championships (with MSC) and he has been up against some very good drivers (Button, Alonso, Rosberg, Vettel). He is not without mistakes, but he belongs in this list for me. For he debut year alone, I think he deserves to be up there.
I would add Alonso to that list.
I agree that he probably should be, even if he has not maximised the potential he has/had through some bad career choices and bad luck. @@hristoitchov

For me, Senna will always be my favorite F1 driver. He epitomized the sport in every way. The watered down version of F1 we have today fails to inspire like these greats and their fantastic machines in the 90's. F1 was never better than that.

That’s a lovely ending there with Jackie and Murray.
17:37 that face you make when you remember you forgot to lock your house front door before going to the airport.
He said he would pay attention to which way the flags were blowing before entering a corner, if the flags were blowing into him, he knew he could enter the corner at a slightly higher speed due to slightly extra downforce. Legend of legends
Dude that trick has been done since the 1920s..
@@Jason.cbr1000rr dude I've watched numerous other racing docs and not once has anyone else mentioned that. Source
Still hurts all these later, I remember it like it was yesterday. Oh what he could have gone on to achieve sadly the world was robbed of such a genius.
The first part of the interview is basically a hit piece on Senna. It got better as it went on but it goes to show just how many people (Europeans) didn't understand Senna and equated any incident that included Senna to be a result of his aggressiveness and recklessness, which is not true. He's still F1's greatest driver to the present day.
Europeans? This hit piece was made in Australia
Damon Hill ended up being Senna's team-mate shortly after that comment 😂
Remember him well testing at Pembrey circuit during the 80’s . He settled into our town like any other local ‘ a genuine normal man that had time for anyone.
RIP Aryton we all miss and love you.
The song at 17:50 it says it's Hans ZImmer The Arsonist's Waltz but it is released only in 2020.
Is this video edited? Or is that original from back then?
By the way the edit at around that minute is epic
Murray set them straight at the end and that's the way I've always remembered Senna.
Well said Mr walker
7:11 yes Ayrton, our tears became your ethernal champagne
That Aussie interviewer was Ken from Mudgee ,I used to love that late night TV show he did with Graham Kennedy, half the time he was drying his eyes from laughing at Grahams jokes. 😂
Ch9's coverage and artistic F1 pieces were first class.
How British journalists and Jackie always trying to have negative spin on the legend . Just because he was so much better of all drivers ever came from Europe .
British journalists don't defend European drivers breh. They only defend their own drivers.
Also Michael and max are on Senna's level. Both not British and have been the target of british journos at times
Shows how unexpected the struggles Williams had in the early part of 1994 was. They described Senna joining "the all conquering Williams team," but little did anyone know what effect the removal of driver aids like Active Suspension would do to the FW16, which was designed to be optimised around these devices and as a result of the return to Passive Suspension, made the car extremely unstable aerodynamically. That said, I think everything agrees it had nothing to do with his fatal accident, Tamburello wasn't a corner where a driver could make a mistake
Little did anyone know Benetton would run a cheater car. Fk Flavio.
An Adrian Newey car.
@Phantom096 I think it's unfair to use Adrian Newey as a by-word for fragile cars. His designs are nothing compared to Colin Chapman's in terms of fragility. Indeed, the Late Jochen Rindt's manager, a certain Bernie Eccleston, gave a forebodingly prophetic remark to his driver: "If you want to fight for the World Championship, join Lotus, if you want to live, race with someone other than Lotus,"
Senna said that when Prost lost he blamed his equipment, yet when Senna joined Williams he was disappointed with the car because of Formula one rule changes and started complaining that Schumacher had an unfair advantage in terms of technology.
@jameshogan6142 I guess it shows two sides of the same coin. If the stereotype is anything to go by, racing drivers find any excuse about why they're not doing as well as expected. Whether it was their own equipment going wrong, or another team allegedly cheating, they both displayed it
not a race watcher but look at a couple of the final race videos and experts talking about it. amazing they say that at that speed if the wheel didnt come off, then he would be alive. 150mph in a concrete wall seems like the shock impact would be deadly alone
I love how they describe him as ‘less than charming” yet 30 years later Senna remains our beloved charming F-1 driving Legend. 💚💛
Haha i remember watching this interview when it was first broadcast on TV. Especially from the painting of Monaco.
Senna the GOAT
14:32 “it takes all kinds to make the world.” Very astute Sir Jackie,
I was thinking his comments earlier in the program about what he thought it would take for Ayrton to be the “most Loved” were however proven wrong by history. Because Ayrton was always unapologetically true to himself and his nature, because he was lost to us all far too soon, because we can witness this man who totes his own bags, who checks his own rental car, like you and I, because Ayrton was an exemplar of precision, determination, dedication and yes a Christian, because all these things he is IN FACT THE MOST LOVED, MOST REVERED DRIVER IN THE HISTORY OF MOTORSPORT.
The very BEST: Ayrton Senna DeSilva of Sāo Paulo Brazil
Thank you for your Example. We miss you 🩵
This video clip sums up his career in motor racing.
correct. without all the hype from the typical F1 media. the reporter was not an F1 sports commentator therefore got to the 'personal' side of Senna that the F1 media commentator could not do.
