      Senna did not die from the breaking of the steering column.
      Senna died from the breaking of the bar that regulates the convergence of the right rear wheel.
      The person responsible for the damage to that component has already been paying for some years, hit by a sort of retaliation law.

    It's easy here: Bernie Ecclestone and the FIA (Max Mosley) didn't want Senna to be champion in 1994 at all. To do this, they completely changed the regulations and gave Senna a "raw" car, practically undriveable. While Schumacher, behind the scenes was racing with several prohibited systems, such as traction control, fuel valve and a series of other devices, all with the complacency of Mr. Ecclestone. They no longer wanted a South American winning in F1. What they did to Ayrton was murder. Ecclestone even tried to hide the onboard images, but was unmasked by Brazilian reporter Roberto Cabrini who worked for TV Globo at the time. To finish, Ecclestone had the onboard images edited by cutting the scene seconds before Senna hit the wall, the images certainly exist or existed.

      Just wow. So much fiction in this reply. Senna had a "raw car" because Williams was still fighting the new regulations. The Williams car was basically the same car as the 1993 car with the banned components removed. Bennetton had a more modern design (just look at the front wing and driver position) that was designed using the 1994 regulations. Remember, Senna had ZERO input on the Williams car for 1994 since he was at Mcleran in 1993. Senna left Mcclaren when they lost their engine supplier. Sad as it sounds, Senna was instrumental in his own death. If he would not have stepped foot on the Williams campus he would still be here.

      Not to mention that most of the money going into Formula One came from German sponsors who desperately wanted a German champion to justify their investment and pull Ecclestone and Mosley up their sleeve. Senna stood in their way. Schumacher would not have become world champion even in 1994 even with the lead in front of Senna. Hill proved it. Senna knew that Schumacher was running with a rigged car. He was going to launch an investigation into the matter after the Imola race, but the consortium behind Schumacher (Benetton - Briatore, Mosley - Ecclestone and maybe Williams) silenced him. Only through the death of Senna, the Germans could finally have a champion in the person of Schumacher who more than once indulged in tricks throughout his career. Senna died from a blow to the head and the German is fighting for his life from the same cause. My ideas are based on intuition and I tend to believe that somewhere behind the curtain, things happened like this.

    Ayrton knew, or at least had a very eerie feeling, that something was going to happen to him that weekend. After what happened to Barichello on Friday, then poor Ratzenberger on Saturday, he could sense something bad. Then we have Lehto and Lamy crashing at the start. Which caused the deployment of the safety car. Which caused the tyre pressure and warmth to not be at the right level. I was under the impression that the steering column broke after the car impacted with the wall. Great video, very informative and interesting.

      it's a very odd situation about that yellow button. I think it was in actuality a suspension cheat involving a valve in the shocks that made them stronger or weaker to support the suspension in high-speed corners. The shifter levers were behind the steering wheel.

    The fw16b driving wheel had 3 distinct movements that you didnt know by the time you made this video. 1) Normal movement (clockwise and anti-clockwise like all car wheel do); 2 - Horizontal movements. 3 - Vertical movements. 2 and 3 makes to seem a broken steering bar, but its not. I think its for shock absortion purposes. The piece of copper you talk its a welding techinic called "glove". Instead of having just 1 weld spot you put a middle extension and weld in two spots. Resolved the Ayrton Senna steering extension demand, and it was more "safer" (if we can use it in this context) 2 weld spots are stronger than just one. At that first bump telemetry registred a real car speed 309 km/h and rear wheels at 312 km/h. That was the begining of the chained events. I give you here more clues to thiink. And its wise what you do looking at the 2 gp before. With empty tanks Senna got both pole positions. In the race (full fuel tank) the car behavior was completly different. Slow turns comparing with the other cars and even a spin. He retired 2 times. 15 days before Imola Senna was interviewed for a portugueses tv channel and said about the car:" Reacts bad with bumps, turns bad and if we try to correct, gets worst. Going straight is good because the engine is very good. For now the mechanics are fixing the problems that i addressed". Another clue, the constant sparks comming from the rear where other cars were not doing it. The golden question is: Can a broken steering bar be responsible for this car behaviors in distinct 3 GPS? Well, NO! Newyer on test discovered that the sidepods were too short and not generating enought down force. Remeber me saying that i saw Senna doing very slow turns? And after a bumb, why the car bounces alot were others dont? What are the meaning of the sparks: Hovercraft effect. The car at high speeds was stacking air below the chassi producing a very dangerous front lift. That comes worst with full tanks! An at Imola's accident, with that dangerous bouncing, front lost grip producing loss of steering and very important, lack of breaking power. Lacks of breaking power is also that the steering failure theory cant explain, but was observed and registred. When Senna tried to correct the car from that oversteering, he released a bit the driving wheel and cut the thorttle to 50%. Apparentlly he thought recovered the cars imbalance, but no. The bouncing effect was still there at 300 km/h. Car's front lifted and LatAcc pointed to an almost zero value. No lateral forces, observed: he was going straight. He cut the throttle to 0%. There is a cylinder near hydraulics which reveals that Senna was always turning left. That cylinder never went inside the chassi when, for instane, you are going straight or turning on opposite direction. Now the big deal. LongAcc parameter registred a -7.30G. Thats a front side landing because an F1 cant break at 7G force! This answers both things that a steering failure cant: Lack of breaking power and a direction loss. Its my opinion, of course! If it was so evident a broken steering bar, it wasn't needed 4 tribunal for long decades. Results for that show off: A cleanup for FIA and italian GPs. Everybody knows that Ratzenberger died at track. It was a cover up what they did. Broken neck, ruptured aorta, no vital signs neither a single heart beat! The May1,1994 race It should never have happened. Looking at the clues argued that a 70% bad weld and 30% good its mandatory to break, its a fake! The only percentage accepted at court is DNA and even that is not 100%! They found their patsy! That chassi was supposed to work with active suspension, and not without it! Senna was running with a "prototype" fixed in the middle of the season for DH when his car became more competitive.

You give off engineer vibes and there's a few times your mask has slipped up and you've revealed your true nature but that's just me and it could all be in my head 🤷🏾‍♂️
    Also killers/psychopaths have a tendency to talk about their murders to people as it gets them off knowing they've apparently got away with it and people don't even realise the person who is saying the story was the one/part of the group that did it..... All allegedly by the way in fact this may very well be the thoughts of a crazy person however one thing that is a fact is that everything in the dark will come to the light so those responsible will pay the price either in the physical world or in the spiritual so good luck

    I have met a lot of different people in my life and some time ago i used to travel regularely. I learned that even if people might have looks that seem a bit "threatening" they can still have a good heart. Why am i commenting on this. Of course the owner can delete this comment at any time. I say this because i don't want to be inpolite, but this video seemed somewhat strange and i think people should be free to express themselfes, with no limitations. I think that Sennas tragic death still holds meaning to this day. A lot of different people have different viewpoints on it, more or less objective. I feel like there are things that set this event apart from almost every other sports incident. However this might be due to the way the media reacted to it or worked with the Information. At least it could be argued that someone poor or less educated might have different feelings about it, then someone out of a privileged family where racing stars were beloved parts of family entertainment and a symbol for lifestyle in general. To some they were like family members, or brothers, because their lifes shared very important similiaritys and F1 was like a Symbol for this.
    And yet it was broadcasted just in a professional manner and it seems there is nothing out of the ordinary. The footage is very emotional. This stands in certain and specific logical relation to the fact that people didn't know what the fate of the racer realy was, within the car. That also is a backwards indication for what was truly seen. It is also obvious that the wreck looks more or less unspecific. It looks really ravaged by the impact, and even a laiment in physics notices that the cars trajectory after the impact indicates the brutal force that the car had to withstand. But compared to other crashes it realy doesn't lool that bad, until the cameras pan to the right dide of the car, and it looks like it has been ripped away from the Chassis. It looks compacted like a wierd mirror. The car is still there, but it clearly visible that the chasis was stressed beyond any reasonable limit and for me this is a first indicator for the tragic truth within the broadcasted footage.
    The footage was the only relationship millions of people had, to someone who was unbelievably hurt within his human weakness. And without information put forth by the broadcaster, maybe nobody would have ever known about Senna dying. In Germany the Commentary, who was really professional, had this narrative going about Senna being just unconscious and they would really stress that point all the time. Not about him being unconscious, but about his chances being good, mentioning the fact that nothing seemed off and the crews on the ground doing everything that was nessecary.
    There is not mutch room for analysis. And that also and sadly is the case for the sequence of events, which led to Sennas tragic demise. By that i mean, that any theory about what happened really is limited by what was clearly visible. A car impacting the wall at really high speed, which can be a cause of death. Many people escape being hurt or even killed while being a part of high profile sports.

      To Me this incident is really a event in history. I was a very young child, when this happened and i know that my family loved watching F1, and they really like A. Senna. Everybody was sadenned by this tragedy. This also changes the way i look at those historic documentation broadly available. I am no conspiracy theorist and in this case i maybe feel like any claims of conspiracy regarding this revered individual are especially distastefull. Nonetheless there is no shame in pointing out the fact, that his fate was really unlucky and that entire notion of him going over the bumps in the ground while following his trajectory forwards and not left looks arguably suspicious. It is however a car crash. That means it looks just as suspicious as it doesn't look suspicious, because cars react accordingly to the laws of physics. However it was proven that it was simply a unlucky coincidence within a very dangerous situation. But i agree with the thought maybe some people have, that if this was sabotage or only just technical failure it basicly is similiar to mudering somebody. That is really important. Of course it is a racecar driver, and people don't just drive a F1 Car without knowing about the dangers. But with that being true it is also true that is a human being and a car just should't kill somebody. And with that context, which is a wrongful context, it looks like maybe he was dealt with maybe in some criminal dispute. Because i don't know if that is not a joke known to everybody in public. Maybe the F1 is related to the Mafia.. i really don't know. I don't know, and i repeat, it is just a wrong conspiracy theory. As long as people dont trust fully >in others< or are not fully informed they are going to develop a fear of the unknown, leading to seemingly scientific conspiracy theories. That is just as simple as schizophrenia being treated with medicine.

      What i do believe however is, that there is much more to this story. Regarding the drivers personality, and the technical drive of the teams, and mutch more. I also think that this might be the truth of it all, and people don't know fully about it. I don't think there was any interest in hurting the driver in order to end his career. However this might not be impossible, since maybe trough stress and because of all the money human beings might begin to have a grudge towards each other. Both viewpoints are equaly important. I don't belief F1 is a egocentric thing. It would me much more unlikely that drivers or teams would harbour hate towards each other when drivers would compete in a disciplined manner, similiar to a circus. Where everybody just secure the next persons safety in so is to make all of it happen. And i think this comes closer to reality then that whole concept of rich and extroverted superstars competing in a race about life and death, where everybody fights only gor themselfes... which in a way is the image the F1 has.

    Hi, I have to say that here in Italy there has always been talk of steering column failure as the cause of the accident .... no one has ever talked about suspension breakage, spring bar or rear wing failure .... you explained very well... surely there are many dark sides behind this affair, a sort of Ustica... the control units taken with a hammer, the camera car interrupted just before the impact, the mystery of the yellow button.... surely someone wanted to hide the truth... do you think Ayrton's car was sabotaged?

    This is all utter rubbish. So many ridiculous assumptions, not least about ‘new ownership’ (the Williams team was family owned until very recently and Frank Williams was very much still the boss in 1994). Stop poisoning the memory of one of the greatest sportsman who ever walked the earth, it is utter disrespectful and no doubt very hurtful to the Senna family. Let the man rest in peace and stop with the bullshit.

    While I respect your devotion to Senna -- something you clearly have, given this is at least your third attempt to "explain" how Senna was killed in 1994 -- I must take issue with so many points you've made.
    First, none of what you posit (in this and in your previous videos) can be proven. You're tailoring your narrative around the evidence that came into existence in the aftermath of the accident. You're presenting a ton of personal speculation. For example, just to zero in on one of the details you're supplying in just this video, you mentioned the "piece of trim" covering the torsion bars on the top of the chassis (what you called the spring rod) flapping around. That bodywork covering the torsion bars only came loose after the impact with the wall. It was still held on to the chassis by the rear stay; the front stay got damaged after the front of the car crashed into the wall. That's just one tiny detail.
    You mentioned a "foam rubber" padding or sleeve or whatever else that was on the steering column. There is absolutely nothing like this on Senna's car (or any F1 car). There are tons of photos of the broken steering column from after the crash, and none of these photos show a foam rubber pad or sleeve or covering. It's all bare metal. F1 designers simply will not allow any concessions to driver comfort (the reason you posit for that foam rubber padding surrounding the steering column) simply because these things add weight. If you know anything about racing car design, designers will never add any weight to a car for any reason if they simply do not have to. It's simply anathema to the whole ethos of racing car design.
    You also had the fanciful notion of Senna's car breaking in the two previous Grands Prix. Again, there is simply no evidence of this. In Brazil, he was pushing way too hard trying to catch up to Schumacher and made a mistake. It was not the first driving error in Senna's career, and people have to stop believing the man was infallible in this regard. He simply was going over the limit of what he and the car were capable of that day, and instead of finishing in second place and banking some points, he just stepped over the limit and spun the car exiting a challenging corner. I mean, if there was any obvious damage to the suspension/steering system of the car that day, don't you think it would have been obvious to anyone who had a look at the car? I'm talking about anyone who would have seen the car post-race. The media would have reported such an obvious failure on the car and have gone out of their way to say Senna's DNF was from a car failure.
    In the following race, you again blame Senna's spin on a broken front end, which caused the spin. Again, there is zero evidence of this. Senna had a slow getaway, and he was simply spun around by Hakkinen, who probably misjudged his own entry into the first corner and hit Senna up the gearbox. Larini in the Ferrari had nowhere to go and hit Senna's right front corner on the outside of the gravel trap. It was a simple accident, something that happens in the first corner of the first lap of any car race.
    One huge thing that you've not considered is this, as well: IF Senna's car had broken in either of the first two races and caused his spins, WHY DID SENNA NOT SAY ANYTHING? Think about that. There is simply no logical reason for Senna to stay silent about a car failure as fundamental as a steering failure or a suspension failure. I would have to believe that a steering failure of any magnitude is probably the worst kind of car failure imaginable because there is simply no getting out of it. You can blow an engine, you can have your gearbox explode, you can even have certain degrees of brake failure, and there would be something you can do about it. If your steering fails, all you can do is brake and try to slow the car down and hope there's nothing right in front of you that you could hit before you can arrest the car's forward momentum. You're at the mercy of the gods if your steering fails.
    Senna's crash was an accident with maybe some degree of negligence involved (the modification to the steering column is very poorly executed, in my opinion; an entirely new column should have been manufactured), but it was not motivated by malice. To believe so, and to engage in so much mental gymnastics to "prove" it with nothing more than speculation, is to engage in an indulgence in conspiracy thinking that, frankly, astounds and baffles and bothers me. The thing is, it's so easy to debunk everything you've said, either through a logical analysis and argument or through just looking at all the released/available evidence (photos, video, contemporary reports from 1994, etc.).
    The Williams team, I have to say, tried to cover things up, particularly during the trials in the years after the accident. Their explanation that the weird vertical deflection designed into their steering wheels is a particularly odious and onerous lie. No car has a steering column designed to flex so much; it's simply stupid to even go there. I mean, I know of no car that has a feature like that. And there is so much video evidence that exists now to say, undeniably, that steering columns simply do not flex in a racing car (or even a road car). How Williams wasn't criticized for trying to explain away the clear video evidence of steering column flex in Senna's car on the day of the accident the way they did is something that bothers me to this day.
    I respect your love for Senna, Mr. Waites. But I just cannot be silent any longer. You are propagating your own untruths with your series of explanation videos when it comes to May 1 1994. I would have less of a problem with your approach if you say, in no uncertain terms, that everything you present is a theory or is based on purely just your speculation. But even that is still problematic because, as I'd said, it's not hard to debunk everything you say.

      Why didn't he continue at Intelagos? Was the engine off or not? It's not clear at the footages because after he speaks to the marshals (to push him???) there is a brake in the coverage of his car and the next thing we see is that he drives his car out by his own.
      So , did the engine shuts down; Did the marshals push him to take it back alive? If the did so why didn't he continue the race?

      @@kostaskatsampanis5752 I don't recall seeing him drive off after his spin. I do recall the marshals pushing him off the circuit, which is the standard procedure.
      I've now just rewatched a replay of that spin - Senna is pushed to the inside of the corner where he spun, clearly with the engine still dead. The footage shows no marshal pushing him, yet the car is moving. This is easily explained by the fact that the inside of the corner slopes down, and Senna has the Williams in neutral, so gravity is moving the car.
      At any rate, as I said, the rules at the time would have prohibited bump-starting the engine after it has stalled, so Senna was definitely out of the race after stalling the engine.

    This guy is off his meds or something. This was a tragic accident. Nothing more. Senna was NOT murdered. The car was no less safe than any other cars of that year. Teams were still using suspension parts from the older regulations since, to my understanding, the teams were still challenging the active suspension regulations.
    The "other guy" was Michael Schumacher, his team was NOT cheating period. Look at the cars. Williams was still using a mostly 1993 design as they thought F1 would reconsider the banning of active suspension. Bennatton had a much more modern design that was NOT designed with the old active suspension regulations.
    This entire video is fiction mixed with a few facts but spinning those facts to fit this guys opinion/narrative.
    FACT - Something failed/broke in the steering/suspension of Senna's Williams in the worst possible moment. It wasn't murder. It wasn't some plan by the FIA/F1 bosses to keep Senna out of the championship. This was Williams using an older design which was less robust using the new regulations.
    FACT - AFTER the car hit the wall a piece of the suspension impacted and killed Senna. Likely NOT the part that broke to cause the accident.
    FICTION - The car did NOT lose its brakes before the accident. Senna was driving the car to the end. As an elite driver he would NEVER jab the brakes at that point, EVER! That corner is FLAT. The cars are unstable. ANY braking would lead to the same type of crash.
    FICTION - Senna did NOT "jam the steering wheel forward" to try to counter the situation. There is no proof that happened and most likely there was no time to even consider doing such a thing. EVERY "yellow button" video shows left to right motion as Senna tried to control the car.
    FACT/FICTION - The copper between the steel in the column is the crush zone. I am 99% sure this was part of the new regulations to allow the column to collapse and not impale the driver. This charge you talk about is what? Totally made up.
    All in all a fun little video to watch. About as much fact/reality of any Hollywood movie.
