Bruno had the privilege not only to have his hero and uncle beside him but to be so much loved by Senna.
There are so many videos of Senna with his nephews playing and laughing. Senna loved children and being next to his family and nephews made him absolutely happy. His niece talks more about Ayrton as an uncle than a racer.
Some interesting facts:
What most people don't know about Senna's 1st F1 victory (Estoril 1985) was that it was a Grand Chelem.
Pole, Race win, Fastest lap, and led from start to finish. In a manual 1500hp '85 car in torrential rain.
Another interesting fact: when Senna won the 1991 Championship in the Mclaren MP4/6 it was (and will be) the only time in F1 history that a V12 engined car won the championship.
Last fact: Senna's greatest lap (Donington 1993, when he went from 5th to 1st on the opening lap in the rain), he passed 4 drivers who themselves would go on to win 12 F1 championships between them.
@@gold333 Great info, mate.
Finally it comes. 30 years. Rest in peace Ayrton
Bruno Senna being in a Williams in 2012 was so emotion for me. I cheered him on all season. Unfortunately he fell short & should have been given another season or 2 in my opinion but nevertheless, I was so grateful to have the Senna name back in Formula 1 if only for a short while
Yeah it was bittersweet. Wasn't Williams also running the Renault engines again in 2012?
@@jamesstewart1794 i am almost sure it was cossworth engine in 2012 and from 2014 they switched to mercedes.
Totally agree. I loved seeing that yellow helmet again.
He isn’t “one of the greatest” he is the greatest F1 driver of all time and that claim is not just made by Senna’s fans, it is created by the F1 drivers. F1 drivers considere him to be the real GOAT. He was and still is a drivers driver!
Yes
You're right on ...target! He was, he's still is and he will forever be.... he prayed everyday and before each race! That ability, smoothness, flow, precision, charm, .....will never be equated. See his "God's Lap or Wet Lap at Monaco. In a mechanical machine's era! Just... Godsend
Senna hade a great hard for f1 but more for the people with him on the track.
Just stop . He is not and never will be . + Senna would be banned from modern F1 for driving dangerously in every race. Unlike 80/90 now we can see every move F1 cars makes . So everyone could see Senna ''suicide'' overtake attempts and he would be considered psychopath .
For me, Schumacher was “my” greatest. But as a formula one fan, Senna was just something else. He was special in the car and he as undoubtedly THE greatest in the sports history
Schumacher was very analytical and had raw talent. Senna was emotional and had raw talent. Both very different traits, which is why they’re both so hard to compare.
He still a legend and icons for drivers and human beings senna will stay strong n the heart ❤
Ayrton Senna da Silva, the GOAT!
Being brazilian it's nice to hear that Senna is always remembered. But in that same weekend in 1994 we also lost Roland Ratzenberger, which hit Formula 1 hard including Senna. Let's also remember Ratzenberger.
Senna had an Austrian flag in his suit he was gonna display on the podium, had he made it there. He almost didn't race.
It was an awful weekend for F1. The only positive to take away is that Rubens Barrichello is still with us.
Well, that, and the safety measures that would brought about from all 3 of those crashes. Its just so sad it took that for F1 to take safety as seriously as it should.
Had the pleasure of watching Bruno race Australian f3 in the support races at Albert park it was one of his first appearances in a car and over the weekend the three races he absolutely obliterated the entire field I think had he been allowed to continue from when he was a kid he would've been an absolute star like Ayrton said he would
Senna ❤️❤️
Lovely yo listen too, what would of made it more special would of being to have it as a proper video so you could see Brunos expression when he talks about Aryton, the admiration and proudness
Sempre Senna!!!
Senna = GOAT! Period.
Ayrton Senna - The quintessential driver
Remembering Artyon Senna.. 🙏🏼
Senna do Brasil ♡♤
Tom Clarkson, I happen to have been a follower of 'Beyond the Grid' for a very long time; probably since the onset of its existence, even if punctually, there has been episodes that I did not enjoy as much, but that is probably because I feel Liberty Media to be too controlling of its journalists, which makes that we are feeling a more political push since the conclusion of the 2021 championship. But excuse me for having slightly digressed from what I wished to convey about this interview. Listening to this dialogue you fuelled with Bruno Senna, I have to thank you and congratulate you for the 'fluidity' of what felt an authentic conversation, which makes me anticipate the joy that I know we all could feel, would Bruno Senna start his own podcast, having you as his first guest, particularly for those of us who were F1 fans for more than thirty years.
A shame that Bruno didn't get more chances in F1, I am sure he would have been great there. But, not only him, I have tk say. We have Álvaro Parente and Felix da Costa that I am sure would have been very well too!
Finally. Someone chose Tom as their first guest for their pod 😂
Hahahaha - True true
Senna sempre
The BEST AYRTON 🏎️🏎️🌎
Amazing interview!
That was brilliant 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Senna is G.O.A.T
I wish I get to hear from Ayrton's perspective on what happened in his career especially the rivalry between him and Prost (another story for another day), but from what I heard from nephew Bruno it sounds like Ayrton was such a great person and a father like figure to Bruno. If Ayrton survived I guarantee you Bruno would have more success in Formula 1 because he'll have someone to help guide him in his racing journey.
Loved all of it! He's an excellent talker
He deserved more time to prove himself. But it was nice to hear how close he was to Senna while growing up! I didn't know that.
Bruno is a great driver. should get better chance
Bis heute ist es einer der schlimmsten Momente die ich je erlebt habe. Er war und ist in den Erinnerungen immer nur der Beste. Ich vermisse Ihn einfach sehr.
Brawn wouldn't let Bruno become the number one driver of the team.
What if Bruno's skill like his Uncle ❤
"What if Bruno's skill like his Uncle" What are you even trying to say here buddy?
Maybe he was. After his uncle died his family didn't allow him to race for years, he only got back into racing later
Sorry my friend that's not a very fair comment. Bruno was his own person. He just didn't get the breaks that his Uncle did. When Ayrton was in F1 it was a very different time too. Bruno did do very well though at Le Mans and sports car. He won lots of races and was very fast. Especially in the wet. In those sorts of cars it's a far more level playing field compared to F1. Bruno only managed to get into poor F1 teams so never really got the chance to show what he could do. However Bruno did very well after F1 and I've met him a few times at races. Always very friendly and happy to chat. Great guy.
@@metro3313 I guess that would be: "What if Bruno's skills are like his Uncle" we're talking of 1 letter and one word... 🙄
If it's really that hard to picture what he was saying I guess either English isn't your native language, or perhaps it is and you're not that bright as you think you are.
@@vertigoz sorry for the mistake. My English is very weak 😞
Senna GOAT.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
G.O.A.T. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Ole ole ole olaaa Senna! Senna!
The last "'ole" is actually 'olaaa"
@@henry247 I thought so too, but I have also seen footage that seems to do it that way as well; any Portuguese speakers here?
@@phillewis1749 Yes, i'm Brazilian
@@henry247 No worries 👌, I'll take your word for it. He is definitely the GOAT to me, a legend and a fantastic human being.
@@phillewis1749 Its "Olaa" at the end cuz it rhymes with "Senna" haha
❤😢❤❤❤❤
❤
🎉🎉
🥂🥂
Such a shame Bruno never got to really prove himself in F1. And as another suggestion, could you have Nigel Stepney on BTG?
Stepney commited suicide 10 years ago, so that might be quite difficult...
Is this a troll post?
A better suggestion or request to be on Beyond The Grid would be Eddie Irvine. In his rookie season he had a fight with Senna and I want to know from his perspective about that and why he lived with being Michael Schumacher's wingman at Ferrari for four years, the downfall of his career at Jaguar, and when Ferrari's hands were on him to challenge for the 1999 World Championship after Schumacher's injury.
On another note it is such a shame we never got to see Bruno Senna be given a chance in top machinery.
Like placed

I actually hate to hear these behind the scenes stories. There is so much bs. Makes me think about all the bs going on besides the scenes now and how drivers are undermined.
What do you mean? Most of the time with the exception of the current or relatively recent drivers. I think we get a truer picture of what actually happened. A lot of what I thought I knew, wasn't quite the case. The politics stops us from knowing what is actually happening now! Because they can't say.
I find it strange, and disappointing, that Ron Dennis didn't help him at all
Ayrton said Bruno was better than him. Bruno should have had the Honda drive for 2009 - which became Brawn. It's quite possible he could have beaten Jenson to the title had Honda not pulled out and Ross hadn't gone for the steady old hand of Rubens Barrichello.
Ah, all of that is coming out during the podcast....
Mclaren and williams, this was literally your chance to do a cool throwbacks. Well i guess save it for imola and not miami?
It wasn’t pressure it was mind set to release it so u natural
Pronounce Ayrton as Eye-Air-Ton just like Bruno says it and the Interviewer continues to pronouce his name as Air-Ton really does my head in. Surely that would be enough to correct yourself
Ayrton is the English pronunciation (& it is an English name!). Eye-air-ton is the Brazilian pronunciation. Ayrton generally accepted both (unless he didn't like the journo!).
😂
43:17 that’s a complete lie. In the 8 races he had with Lotus, he only scored once in the points, a p9 at Monza.
Only thing we should remember about Senna is have overrated he is .
The majority of the global racing population wouldn't agree with you on that one. About either Senna. But Ayrton is (& was) exceptional. If you think he's over-rated, why bother listening to the podcast? You don't like, walk on....
