The more I learn about Ayrton…..the more I respect and admire this Man.
Agree. Whatever the elusive It factor is, he had it.
Not so sure about his fondness for young girls tbh...
Amazing footage. The man who made this documentary, Francis Megahy, passed away in 2020 from cancer. He died on May 1. Quite a coincidence. RIP Francis, and thank you for these wonderful memories.
Rip 👏👏🖤🖤
RIP Francis Megahy. 🙏💖🙏
May 1??? Uauuuuu
Oh, that's sad :(
thanks for sharing about francis
Senna was way ahead of its time. A human being full of light. He died early but the legacy he left will be forever in this world.
Strangely enought nobody i mean nobody ever talk about Ayrton's ability to speak his mind clear and precise. He was in away very very articulate and had a unique way of expressing his thoughts
So true so articulate
Very true. That is why I find it hard writing Ayrton Senna fanfics. His ways of talking is very unique and beautiful.
I love it!
He was very clever. Well prepared as well. He was born in a high class family in Sao Paulo. He went to good schools. Fórmula 1 is not football....
and remember that at that time, there was no "media training", what we hear is straight from the heart!
"When he died that day at Imola, a part of me died with him."
Alain Prost.
It makes me so happy to know that before Ayrton's passing he and Alain were able to settle their differences and become quite close, giving the closure everyone wanted for both of them in probably the greatest rivalry in F1
A part of me died too!
@@madsjuul1350 Who ask you?
@@cordeirochristian learn English
Undoubtedly.
When legends die young, they stay immortal because we never saw them grow old and slip into oblivion. We will always remember them the way they last looked. Always young and so full of life and potential. Always immortal. Senna sempre.
Such a true statement. Always felt that Marilyn Monroe always had that mystique as well , partially because she passed away at a young age and we never saw her as a wrinkled old lady. Timeless beauty. Senna is the same way.
So True.
It’s better to burn out rather than to fade away
@@jadbazzi8821 Great reference.
loved to read that, thnk
I can listen to Senna talk all day. He is literally my hero. I am from the North East USA, and wish I could visit Brazil to ask people about Ayrton!
Please, coming! The life is really short as you know. . .
@@francisr.teixeira6217 I hate that it was a short life. But someday I will come to Brazil.
Senna was inpiration to us brazilians,,,, legend, awsome driver, talent, heroe
He was amazing and my hero!!! I'm proud to be Brazilian because of him!
@leoonardo4282 that's great to hear. I love learning about him and looking forward to the biopic series netflix is working on about him
highly intelligent, highly sensitive, highly intuitive...superior driver, competitor, champion
RIP Ayrton
🕯
Renaissance man. ❤
Some transcend the worldly titles of this world. Senna was one of them. Love how he refers to we instead of I or Senna. No doubt he was here on a mission. Beautiful tribute.
The fact that he built housing for all of the workers on his farm demonstrates the type of great compassionate man he truly was.
If there would be a word to describe Senna is - perfect balance. He had this supernatural capacity to understand his surrounding. He could have been a president, a well known business man, a spiritual leader.. instead he chose to be a F1 driver to show his greatness to the entire world.
Ayrton Senna Legend 🇧🇷
Wow Senna as president, never thought of it but could have been something truly amazing... He wasn't much into the politics though but what a fun thought
@@cvtt3194 true - he had charisma in spades. However he was too authentic to 'play the game'
Looking in retrospect I really think that he had the ambition of being president of Brazil. He built a connection with Brazilians that was really impressive. I was 12 when he passed away and now at 42 I still have a deep interest in his personality. I think he knew that what makes Brazil an eternal "development country" is not only corruption (which plays a big part), but a huge amount of incompetence of our ruling elite. Being rich extremely COMPETENT and popular as he was, he could have won a election very, very easily.
@@luizgustavoywata4361 realmente tudo que você falou faz muito sentido
He was such a principled, decent man and all Brazilians should be so proud of him. He was also the greatest racing driver who has ever lived.
We are very proud of him. Even these days he is revered and remembered as the legendary person that he was. Always in our hearts.
Oh, yes, we are! 🇧🇷
Ask Prost about his character
@@Mahatma618 Ask Erik Comas too pls
Sometimes is even annoying how much he is remembered, is like we only had one F1 champion instead of three, but oc we love him and teach his legacy to the younger generations
What a remarkable and generous person Senna was. Sometimes when you learn about your hero’s, you are disappointed; Senna never disappoints. And this film certainly does not either; I didn’t want it to end!
That’s what made him different, we knew he was generous, but we’d only find out how much after his death, so he was doing a lot of good without even talking and using it for selfish reasons. It feels like sports in general needs to get that back. Not just people making millions and hiding their fortunes to not pay taxes like the little guys.
@@MaRi-zp9zk agreed; Senna was a good guy, even when no one was looking.
Awwww, my Hero ♥️ and I also didn’t want this to end so I rewatched all over again. He’s so missed!
His death made many Brazilians stop watching F1, for us it lost all the fun. You can understand his connection with his country by how he won the Brazilian GP, he had won every thing but never on his country, the car got stuck on 6th gear but he kept going, by the end of the race he couldn't move his arms (and the audio of him celebrating is amazing). He started a foundation that keeps helping children even after his death. His funeral was unbelievable, a casket with his helmet on top of it, the country stopped. It's hard to put everything on words. He made us very proud.
@Right Wing Lutheran Cowgirl By father he got spanish descent, and by mother he got italian descent. As so many brazilians he wasn't definied as italian or spanish, but both, here in Brazil we call that brazilian, deep mixed iberian and continental european genes.

Not much else to be famous about to be honest. But he was cool
I'm from Denmark. My last F1 race was that of Ayrton accident!
@@099las there’s something rotten in Denmark
@@099las I’m from Denmark too. I celebrate every year on the anniversary of senna’s crash. I have enjoyed F1 much more without him in it
Senna has been my hero for over 30 years. He's a fascinating man.
Ayrton senna is one of the greatest men to ever walk the earth . Racing today is nothing like it used to be . May he be watching over todays world and how thankful we are for what he created for us to remember . he left us but his legacy continues in 2024 and for us as long as we will live .
The man from another dimension.
Sickest driver of all time. Very difficult to even find people in history that are close to his tier of both being cool and talented.
I love how he said "you need to be strong, psychologically speaking". 🥺🏆
No matter the topic, he always gave very detailed and thoughtful responses. He had the brain to go along with his physical gifts in a racing car. The perfect combo we will not likely see again.
Ayrton Senna would teach other test drivers on how to improve their driving styles. This is why he is a legend of the sport.
There will never be a driver like him and the time when he raced is the best.
You go for the gap that's racing he said faith strong positive move through the doubts I hope I meet him one day.
He almost won the 1993 season with a wagon Maclaren against the almighty Williams! That’s unbelievable
@@Herbao69 Yes indeed, mate...that final drive for Ron Dennis, in that godawful McLaren-Ford at Adelaide, was beyond sublime & although I only have it on VHS, every now & again I still grab it & watch it...it was truly amazing what he was able to do with that car in '93...
@@Herbao69 just good to know and remember that Prost was not so much well motivated in 1993 season. And obviously I do have a high respect for Senna and what he achieved spring his career.
And the cars looked so much nicer
Simply the Best F1 driver...We miss you Magic Senna.
I stopped watching F1 for 25 years after his tragic crash and I wasn’t necessarily a Senna fan at the time but his loss shook me. Long live the King, Long live the legacy of Senna!
He died way too young!!! He is the real definition of LEGEND
A truly special human being. Senna's greatness went beyond his sport.
2021 and Ayrton Senna is still missed so much all over the world. Sending love to his family and to Brazil from Australia 🇦🇺🙏🇧🇷
Thanks. He won his last race in Adelaide in 93, the podium scene with Prost is historic. So after that he went to the Tina Turner show.
He will always be held in the very highest regard no matter what generation passes..the Greatest
And in 2022 too
and in 2024 too
Valeu amigo ele faz falta demais da conta sempre vem gente de todos os lugares visitar o túmulo onde ele repousa nosso herói imortal
My life hero... Simple man simply best.
Ayrton was too good for this world
He’s definitely my hero!
Don’t be sad he died, be happy he lived.
RIP Ayrton Senna da Silva
Hope you’re at peace, wherever you are.
He was not only the GOAT in F1,he looked like a christian medieval knight and a true gentleman ahead of his own time
It amazes me how he always took a time to think deeply in his answers. He always had something deep and meaningful to talk to the fans.
I can't agree, I think Hamilton tops both Senna and Shumacher as GOAT because both Senna and Shumacher were willing to deliberately take someone off the track in order to win a race or even a championship. Hamilton has won his titles fair and square, on the track without having to resort to dirty tactics.
@@RossRossiter I don't agree with you about Senna. He only hit Prost in 1990 as a revenge for what he a Balestre did to him in 89. Schumacher used to be dirty on the track. Hamilton is a great driver but just as schumacher he had by far the best car for so many years and not having a real drive with a similar car to compit with you is like a dream to any drivers.
@@RossRossiter yea Hamilton isn’t the goat especially after what he did this weekend
@@RossRossiter yeah, like how Hamilton shunted Verstappen at Silverstone right???
I worked in the sport when Senna was there, and he gave me the two greatest compliments I’ve ever received.
To me he will always be the greatest of all time.
May I ask what he told you? Would be cool to hear :)
Yeah, very interested in what he told you :)
That’s awesome!!
Please, what did he say?
my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Why didn't you include what he said to you in there buddy ?
I don’t think senna can be topped.
If this guy wanted to be remembered
Throughout time. He got his wish.
Never forgotten. ❤️
Sometimes I have those moments when I still can’t believe he’s gone.
I’ve known good people who have died at a young age, and I’ve mourned for my loss and their family’s loss, but when I see a man like this, I mourn for what the world lost.
Felt that in my heart.
AGREED
Im brazilian and i was 13 years old when he died. I remembered everything. The entire Brazil country died at that day.
This documentary is a gift. To any true fan this is a wonderful insight into the life, the myth and the legend of Ayrton Senna. Thank you
What a beautiful soul ❤ Rest in Peace, Ayrton
Ayrton Senna fitted 100 lives of experience (at least) into his short 34 years.
And he was a real gentleman at the same time 🙏💖🙏
The immensity of his loss is unbearable and unimaginable. Still in 2021.
Im not an F1 fan or knew much about Senna before watching this, but I am so honored to have watched this. What an incredible man and inspiration. Wonderful report. God Bless Senna and the entire world. I cant stop saying to myself... what an incredible man...
SUJEITO EXCEPCIONALMENTE CARISMÁTICO....
I never knew Ayrton was such a good and generous man, he used his F1 wealth to live life in the best possible way and include everyone around him to share and enjoy everything too. I've never seen a media person like this film maker get so close to Senna, he captured a personality that I never knew existed to make a great documentary.
There are a few wonderful people that have passed, that I would haved to have met, sat down with, and talked with.
The late, unbelievably outstanding man and F1 driver Ayrton Senna, is top of my wish.
A phenominal driver, competitor and a beautiful human. His loss will always be deeply felt in so many hearts, at least his memory lives on.
Forever missed.
Ayrton Senna. The man, the legend, the best.
God bless you. X
Definatly the most determined driver ever to climb into a race car. A great human being overall.
27:50 Ayrton talking about growing his own food without chemicals is a big part with what is going on in the world today with health, Ayrton wasn't stupid and did not want to eat what comes from mainstream supermarkets etc.
One of the best humans to grace the planet and by far one if not the best driver of all time. RIP Ayrton
not only a hero, smart and well driven individual. senna is a man so much ahead of his time. epitome of well balance life.
Once, in USA, I talked with a hobby shop manager. Senna when was in the country used to go there to check out the remote control aircraft. He told me that Senna was a nice and quiet gentleman.
A great racing driver, a great man, and a great individual. I will never forget Ayrton senna.
At first I was sad that this impressive, legendary, and likable man left no children to carry on some of his many positive traits. Then I realized that by inspiration anyone who wishes to can do that. That's what's so great about inspiring people - they teach us how to do the same, and they don't need to have children to do that. We become the children (especially when you consider that sometimes, actual children don't honor the legacy and carry on the great qualities of their parents!)
Senna was amazing and inspiring
This is some of the most illuminating footage of Ayrton I’ve ever seen, and shows he was just as great a man as he was a racing driver. And given what he achieved, that really is saying a lot about him. His humility and humanity really come across in this film. I don’t know why, but racing drivers of his era seem so much more authentic as people, and he towered above most of them. Thanks for sharing...
What an incredible spirit and person he was 💫🌟✨
what a shame he died. This man would have had such a big impact on his country: social justice, organic food production, education... this documentary is from late 80's early 90'S and whatever is talking about his now the standards. He doesn't have to be loud to literally catch our attention. So soft spoken. Brasil has lost his best ambassador.
Mais ele continua tendo aqui tem a fundação instituto Ayrton Senna que ajuda muitas crianças na educação não é porque ele se foi que seu legado continua nosso herói amado saudades
@@nhandapereira4821Love and Light from Germany.❤️🕯️🕊️
What a very special film this is. So glad I came across it. Loved watching the karting race with accompanying music. Wonderful from beginning to end.
I cannot believe it’s been almost 30 years since that terrible day. Still miss Ayrton immensely
I measure my life pre 1994 and post 1994....his death really destroyed me,he was and always will be my inspiration and hero.
Larger than life....... RIP Legend...
He was and He still the best.
I think I've seen this interview at least 20 times...it never gets old. He was such a fascinating man, so mysterious, incredibly private, and never fake.
I think if he seen the way the world is today he would be absolutely appalled, and incredibly saddened. Can't even imagine what he would think of how F1 is today. He wouldn't like it that's for sure. What an amazingly beautiful human being.
Heartbreaking when he talks about having “a long way to go”.
Taken way too soon.
Ayrton, the GOAT, not just as an F1 driver but also as a human being!
There is more them something mystical about Senna. Something timeless
He is and always will be The best racing driver ever.
To me he was the one and only...and why would anyone leave a thumbs down on a man like this,.. incredible.. even now his foundation is working to help children..
This footage is absolutely amazing! Seeing Senna in Brazil was incredible. The GO Cart and the agricultural part was so cool. He was one in a billion.
Such a pure humble soul...
I am Brazilian and nothing like this has ever been done about his life. I never imagined seeing him like this ... certainly the main figure of my country.
There's so much life in him: the thrill, the joy, the passion, the determination... He was so charismatic and burned so brightly! Phenomenal racer. To me he is the greatest of all time, incredibly special talent and the fact that he was always giving his all made you very invested. Rest in peace, Ayrton.
This man was way ahead of his time from agriculture to religious way of thinking 🙏rip ayrton senna
GOAT 🏆
Respect from New Zealand RIP ✝
Didn’t know him, started to love him immediately. Such a pure man 🤍
I hope he is happy, racing in the stars ⭐️
This is the most amazing look behind the persona that people thought was just about the racing. He was so much more than that - intelligent, thoughtful, dedicated to those who work with him, driven and, surprisingly, quite wise. Makes it all the more heartbreaking that we lost him. Brings back that sad day I watched it happen, all over again :(
Дорогой наш Айртон! Мы никогда не забудем тебя. 🇷🇺❤🇧🇷
Why British?
The F1 Legend will never be forgotten, never.
Senna changed F1 Forever. Any driver can win Five, seven, ten championchip, but Senna is a legend! Citizen of the world.
As a Brazilian, I can say that the Sundays after his death were never the same. Their victories inspired a lot from us. There is no way to forget your legacy. 05/04/21
The best racing driver of all time. People like Senna are very lacking in the world.
I never had the chance to meet him, but he was and still is my favorite driver of all time! He took a race car to its absolute limits and sometimes further! This is why he was the driver everyone in the F1 business, drivers included all respected him! R.I.P. Ayrton! You are still missed even today! I will one day visit his grave and pay my respects! Till then rest easy!
Best driver ever....Even greater Humanitarian...Another Legend lost too soon....
An amazing driver and, perhaps more importantly, a very special man.
An Amazing documentary about an exceptional man
I still miss this great man and think of him almost every day. The most committed man in sport
A champion in many ways...
He was such a Nice person , and the best f1 driver ever .
Simply the best. Senna sempre.
I just realized that I have been smiling for all the video duration. Watching Ayrton young, healthy and happy always has this effect on me...
The best driver of all time!
He is the greatest of all time.
Couldn't stop smiling....especially during the go cart race. Simply the best.
25:12 This is why I'd respect Ayrton Senna and his family so much.
Yes,for me it was a touching moment too.
You can't compare that to nowadays superstars when they just throw the money into drainage...
One of the few Legends in our earthly life...
2023 never forgotten r.i.p senna ✊
35:02 even in the cart you can hear his throttle technique, such a legend.
Yep!
I was thinking that. When I realized this I got shocked a bit and asked myself how a driving style can just be a that inital part of your person
senna was the driver who keep the rpm higher always....10 k rpm with lotus and mclaren honda in slow speed corners....the master of speed....
A fantastic person and driver
What a great documentary! Here in Argentina we also admire and love Ayrton. He also developed a close friendship with our Juan M Fangio. Both eternal and inmortal. Both the best.
Fangio and Senna were fierceful, talented, real drivers. Even greater outside the tracks. That's why we love them both.
Saludos desde Brasil, hermano.
He seems like he was a genuinely nice, down-to-earth guy. I saw all the riches he had and thought "he deserved all of this". I guess for anyone who lived when he was Number One, his name will always mean Forma-1. (Also all that Marlboro everywhere😄It was a different time for sure!)
Senna always eternal.
What a noble man with noble life through physically, Mentally, and spiritually.
What a gem of a documentary
This is some scarcely circulated footage. Incredible.
What a man he was!!!
Ayrton Senna is a legend. Such an incredible competitive spirit, talent and genuine good person taken way too early. ❤️
