02:30 The moment I lost my idol at the age of 9... Seen it all on television... Sticks to me till this day... I wont never forget the great Ayrton Senna!!! I still admire him!!! SENNA SEMPRE!!!
I was at Imola that weekend. On the Sunday I was sitting at Rivazza so I did not see anything of the accident. On the Saturday morning I was with a few friends sitting at Tosa. We moved to Variant Alta for the afternoon so we fortunately missed Roland's accident. I had seen Senna's last win in Adelaide in 1993 (in the after race concert Tina Turner sung 'Simply the Best' with Senna appearing on stage). I saw his last race in Brazil in 1994.
When the rear tire suddenly "binds" you into a high side, my small group calls that "hooking up" when the tire suddenly finds lateral traction. The tire "hooks up" to the pavement. Or dirt too.
I always wonder what the racing world would have said and how critical they would have been if Senna didn’t race on the Sunday after Roland’s accident.
Senna had his steering column changed and the weld broke, There was no bottom out, no "steering into the slide" as Nat Geo claims in their documentary. And the cars telemetry was taken and altered. Since Senna only 6 people have died. Much safer to race F1 than drive on the public road
6? Only 1....Jules Bianchi 2014. Also, its worth noting that prior to Roland Ratzenburger, a driver hadn't been killed for 8 years. So even in 94, the safety record was pretty impressive when compared to some other series.
Look at the footage from Michael Schumacher’s onboard camera. You can clearly see sparks coming out from under Ayrton’s FW16. That shows that his car bottomed out. Also, if you watch the footage of Senna’s own onboard camera, you can see the car get twitchy through Tamburello. This suggests initial oversteer, not understeer. As for the steering column breaking, the total failure was the result of the impact, with a partial failure being complicit in the cause of the accident. That best explains why the blackbox still recorded a steering input of -7.18. Read the iBook Tamburello. That will tell you the story without bias.
@@erickdorsey556 I don't care what you think you are or believe. The welder and olthers were prosecuted for manslaughter, aquited. And everything I typed is accurate. Those cars scrape the ground all the time. There was no 'steering into the slide" and no "loss of downforce........" Both documentaries make that claim and the claim is spurious.
16:27 That wasnt Spa! Nikis accident took place at the famous Nordschleife on the Nürburgring and is the reason F1 does not race this track until today! Please get your facts right. Thanks. :)
@@samuelgarrod8327 The video started life as a DVD documentary/discovery channel feature or something of that nature from before RUclips was even a thing IIRC.
Such bad luck in the Senna crash. In regards of the fact that it was the suspension bit breaking off and piercing through his helmet, killing him. If that hadn't happened, he would have exited the car and walked back to the pits.
I’m a Motocross Racer & I Can’t Believe I’m gonna Say this…but I Wish Every Crash I Ever Had,I Wish was Filmed🤣🤣…I’ve Broken Many Bones…but have Also had Bad Crashes & Walked Away🦾🏁
You covered my favorite races of all time! Senna Lauda Zanardi Doohan Earnhardt I am glad my favorite motocycle rider got out of his career, without ever having something real serious. So I hope Valtentino Rossi will live for a long time, to tell some storie, I dont know, YET! :) Besides the little flaw on Nikis location of the accident a very good work my friend!!! RIP AYRTON
These days , a school leaver wanting to make a career of being a professional formula one driver is expected to hold at least a couple of A levels at good to excellent grades !
The focus on the aerodynamic factors at play in Senna's accident always irked me with this video. You could remove both wings and the FW16 could likely still comfortably take Tamburello flat. Only conditions that'd ever make the car behave as it did is either from driver input or a failure of the steering. And it certainly wasn't the former.
Do you not know how aerodynamics work? Tamburello was a sweeping corner from the track’s founding, but when it hosted a non-championship F1 race in 1965, even those cars couldn’t go through Tamburello flat-out, and they didn’t have wings. As the video states, the grip is generated by a combination of mechanical grip through the suspension, and aerodynamic grip through the wings and the airflow under the car’s floor. But as we all know (I certainly hope so), all that grip must reach the road surface via the tires. A Formula Ford doesn’t have nearly as much horsepower, but I seriously doubt that they would be able to take old Tamburello flat-out, especially since they don’t have wings and their tires are as skinny as a supermodel.
Jackie Stewart FTW...what a classy guy.
I like the way tiff casually says 'designers found ' when he should have said 'Colin Chapman created' .
Thank you! This was up here once before, but got taken down.
The sound mixing of this video was appalling.
42:32 ... factually incorrect ! Earnhardt Jr. was in 2.nd place with Waltrip leading for many laps at that point.
Thank you! I'm grateful to be watching something I will NEVER do! Just saying, "watching" was the word of the day!
"..if you were trying to re-create the experience at home"
I think I'll pass
A very moving Doco it's a incredible progress in safety it's never to late to invent life saving engineering and discipline ❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤

That they didn't start with Le Mans is just bizarre to me.

If you did away with the blaring fucking music, and engine noise, I might've been able to hear the narrator.
😢. Here, hear!

Not Senna, Williams had it changed!!! A huge difference!!!
The weld broke when he hit the wall, did you even listen to the down force problem, I'm an aircraft technician .

Btw Niki Laudas crash was not at spa it was at the Nürburgring
Nürburgring

Please get your facts right. Thanks. :)
🤣👍
Get your facts right? On a RUclips video? That's fckin hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

@@Zonda1996 It was a bit of a crass generalisation but I know what I meant.
@@samuelgarrod8327 yeah fair lol wasn’t wrong either. RUclips and comments definitely among the better places to go for misinfo
Can't hear most of dialogue; nice music video though!!

There is an artist image of that scene with his car half on and off the track at Imola with Senna walking away with his helmet in hand 😢
Do I detect the dulcet tones of Tiff Needell?
You do indeed
I’m a Motocross Racer & I Can’t Believe I’m gonna Say this…but I Wish Every Crash I Ever Had,I Wish was Filmed🤣🤣…I’ve Broken Many Bones…but have Also had Bad Crashes & Walked Away🦾🏁
So sad that razenberger and senna died at the same weekend
ATTENTION: Would you please remix the audio so that I can hear the narration. Currently, it is a disgrace. 😢
You covered my favorite races of all time!
Senna

Zanardi

Dale Sr. wasn't the brightest bulb in the box, was he?
Lol!
It's one reason why they get paid the big bucks. 😊

Eleventieth!

Such bad taste to show Gilles Villeneuve's accident at the beginning of the vid. Pathetic.
Senna committed suicide in protest to rules or lack thereof in regards to drivers safety.
Look deeper into the story.
