Just that statement, breaks a Ayrton Senna fans heart. Damn, did we want him to dominate every race. The guy never gave a half assed performance in his life. It just was not in him.I feel privleged to have lived when he raced in his prime and to see him perform racing miracles. Ayrton had alot of people who hated his guts. The fans of those he destroyed with skill on the track. But Ayrton also had hundred of millions of racing fans, who tuned in every race, to see The Maestro work his trade. We miss you, Ayrton. We always will. Rest In Peace, Great One.
He said: "I´m designed to win". It's not like anyone else saying that. It would look silly. But you can see in his eyes that he knew exactly who he was! All times I see his interviews and the truth in his eyes, words and voice and his self confidence... I want to cry! And I do!
All you need to know about Senna can be summarized in his drive at Donnington from 5th to 1st in one lap in the pouring rain and him getting out of his car at Spa to help another injured driver. Simply incredible, there will never be another driver like him.
As a brazilian privileged enough to see the guy at that time, I will try to summarize why he is such a hero to us: When Senna started to win races and dispute championships, Brazil was going through strong hardships: hyperinflation, rising crime rates, a disorganized state of things after two decades of military dictatorship, it's was just a hard time for us in general and even in sports we didn't have reasons to smile. The last world cup we had won was way back in 1970 and our great spectations in 1982 and 86 were frustrated in a very harsh fashion. Brazilian people were mostly depressed about their country and felt somewhat lost, we have just kept losing and losing. But that guy on Formula 01 was the perfect antithesis of those feelings. Everytime he was racing, he was racing TO WIN. He refused to accept anything short than winning. And he was that proud brazilian who carried a green and yellow flag whenever he was on the highest place of the podium. Ayrton Senna was a kind of a collective medicine, a medicine to our souls and we have intuitively reacted to him, not knowing exactly why, but the fact is that we did it. That's why, excellent as they were, both Emerson and Piquet didn't make the same effect on the people. Ayrton was more than an excellent driver or a champion, he was what we needed to feel proud and live life head on. Some folks don't like when I say he was a hero, as they argue that it takes more than being a great sportsman to be considered as such, but Ayrton Senna was a hero precisely because he was much more than just one of the best drivers ever. Tchau, Ayrton. I will never ever forget you.
I have family in Brazil and can understand you so well. ♥️ Ayrton is a hero and always will be. For me too. ❤ I will never forget how I felt when I learnt that he had gone on his journey. Totally in shock. Heartbroken and in disbelief. 30 years on, I still cringe when I hear his name or see him. 🥺 Ayrton never forgot that he was lucky to have been born into a wealthy family. His heart beat with empathy and love for others. He helped and loved children. He still helps with his organisation today. I am very grateful for that. Nothing could honour his legacy more. ♥️ My son reminds me of him. When he's on the football pitch, he's a completely different person. A fair player but ambitious and wants to win. When he's not on the pitch, he's a man of the heart. ♥️ Ayrton was a gift from God to Brazil. He lived at the right time to be a support for his countrymen. And he became a role model and hero for people all over the world. 🙏 It was his aura. He was on another level and I will love and miss him forever. 💔 Lots of Love for you and Brazil from Germany.♥️🙏🕯🕊
I agree and would add he's the kind of person who barely speaks, but shows what he's able too. Not as c0cky as another Brazilian driver 3 times champion too. Ayrton is the best driver, ever, by far.

#SennaSempre O melhor que já tivemos, o melhor que o mundo já teve. Nasci 3 anos e 17 dias após a morte dele, nunca o vi correr ao vivo, ainda me lembro do dia em que me contaram (eu tinha uns 8 anos) que fazia anos que o Senninha que eu tanto amava tinha morrido. 30 anos depois de sua partida, o nome Ayrton Senna ainda retumba como trovão no mundo todo.
I'm not going to even watch the video, I have paused it right at the beginning. In response to the title, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER SENNA!!! He was ruthless, brilliant, detail oriented and had a god-given talent for grip. For those who know , obviously there were drivers that took the world title many more times but Ayrton was the best and even the giants of the era admitted it too...
Ποτέ! Ποτέ στον παγκόσμιο αθλητισμό δεν έχει υπάρξει ένας τύπος σαν και Αυτόν!ότι καλύτερο είδαμε στον παγκόσμιο αθλητισμό και ένας υπέροχος Ανθρωπος!νιώθω τυχερός και ευλογημένος που έζησα την εποχή του και τον είδα να τρέχει εδώ στο εξωτερικό που χρόνια πολλά ζω! Το είδωλο φυλαχτό παγκοσμίως! Παντού στον κόσμο σε αγαπάνε Ayrton Senna da silva 🇧🇷 Ευχαριστώ πολύ για το βίντεο!
Είμαι πολύ χαρούμενος που γνωρίζω ότι έχετε ήδη δει τον αγώνα των Βραζιλιάνων ηρώων μας, δυστυχώς γεννήθηκα το 2000 και μπορούσα να δω το μεγαλείο του Senna μόνο στην οθόνη.
One of the things that set Senna apart from others was his understanding that there are things bigger than sport, and being a sportsperson should not degrade you into a worse version of a human being by transforming you into a performing machine for sponsors and teams and keeping you silent about injustices and inequalities around the world. His 1993 comment "The rich cannot continue to live on an island of wealth in an ocean of poverty" is one of the greatest lines by an athlete in any sport. He was up there alongside the likes of Craig Hodges who spoke out against social and racial inequality while being an NBA star, Socrates in his brave stance against the Brazilian military dictatorship and in favour of worker democracy while being one of the highlights of the country's national football team, and others.
As a kid, I remember my father saying: there comes the Crazy yellow helmet again. My father was a Mansell fan, but above all he loved F1. I remember his face when Senna was declared dead. He got the Punch in the stomach- I did not believe he could die he said.
There was a natural charisma about him that endeared him to fans. You knew he would always give 100%, his level of talent and fearlessness meant that usually he was near the front. He was also spectacular at overtaking, very few drivers since have been able to approach his skill in this area.
The day we lost Senna at Imola was a dark one for motorsport. It's heartbreaking but also a reminder of the safety advancements in the sport that came about because of that tragedy.
45 years for me too - agree Senna is the best there has ever been or ever will be. I think Schumacher, Alonso, Verstappen are about half to threequarters of the way from regular average F1 drivers' level to Senna's level - they are way better than most, but not quite at Senna's level - he had something extra - a super extreme freak talent. In fact i think he was the greatest sportsman of all time. It's sad that people outside the sport have no way of recognizing that because the activity is just to alien to them - it's like asking them to rank the greatest fighterpilots, or astronauts - they just can't relate at all.
What people don’t realize often is that he was by far the most skilled pilot in 1992 and 1993, but he could not win the championship because the Williams cars were by far the best. When he finally went to Williams in 1994, the rules were changed so there would be more competition. The problem was that they could not make a good and safe car for him while Benetton was cheating.
Currently, the Ayrton Senna Institute trains 60 thousand educators and financially supports the professional and educational training of 2 million children in Brazil.
@@andreia0000 No. Brazil has approximately 225 million inhabitants in total. Of this total, 70 million are children. Although the institution's work is very beautiful, 30 million is the total number of children with some loss of social rights (economically poor). The Ayrton Senna Institute supports, at most, 2 million children (according to information on the website). The Institute is located in the state of São Paulo and does not have the capacity to cover the entire country.
I dont follow the sport but I've heard of Senna's name a lot. But that right there makes him a hero in my book. Someone who gave back to his community. In the docs I've seen of him, he always seemed like a such a good guy, very humble.
? Monaco '88. Prost wasn't catching, Senna was so far ahead that Ron Dennis asked him to slow down which he did and which caused a lapse in concentration leading to the crash...
There are NO similarities in Senna and Hamilton! Senna could take ANY car and perform every race. Hamilton and so many others need a good car. Not to mention, the cars were so different back then. Senna was shifting and steering with one hand and still dominating. Hamilton desperately wants to be compared to Senna but that’s absolutely ridiculous. Compare him with Schumacher
Incorrect, I know 2 mechanics that have spannered for both in F1… Both said Hamiltons car control and feel in the wet is on par with Senna. Sorry to piss on your rant, but I’ll take their word over your armchair opinion.
No one, since Senna passed, has the skills and the soul commit to win. Senna hated being second. Senna had some Lauda and Piquet on his veins, that eye of the tiger for winning; but Senna was beyond that because all in his life would be around racing. His whole motto in life was "Win, win, win the race and the championship". His life was inside an F1 car, and everything in his life would circle around that; he didn't care much for money, women or anything else, even in his relax time, his mind was always, always thinking how to be the best F1 driver ever, in history. And he did it. It's only sad, that unfortnatly, he didn't live to win more world championships, though i do think that he would race 5 or 6 years more, and no more than that, he would end his career around the year 2000.
I never liked Senna as an F1 driver but F1 wouldn't have been the same without him! His clashes with Mansell, who I couldn't stand, were worth the watch on their own!
After winning Portugal 85 you state ‘Senna would go on to win a few more races throughout the year’ he won one more race in ‘85, one. During his time at Lotus he won 6 races across 3 seasons, 2 each year. Also, Prost rhymes with Lost, not Ghost
This video doesn't really represent how incredible he was in every aspect all around in his life, I had watched him from the time of the black Lotus I was very young I was born in 1980 and as early as I can remember I was his die-hard fan. I didn't miss not one race in my country they would play it on tv at like 3am and me and my dad would get up to watch it, my dad used to race Gordinis 2ith Nigel Mansell many times I was the one waking up my dad all excited to watch the race than the recap it was such a joy in my life, increadibly magical. That time was the time of the great giant pilots they were all top notch but Ayrton was above them all by far. A am Brazilian too and this man beloved Ayrton Senna my idol to this date still lives in my heart he is still a regular part of my life, this man was exceptional he was a genius pilot to the likes of Einstein or Nicola Tesla Ayrton Senna was brilliant literally beyond belief that was true to all car racing drivers in and out of F1. But also in his personal life he was outstanding a great man, a great father, a great husband, a great son, a great friend and he had left a legacy in Brazil that still lives strong today called "Seninha" a charitable organisation funded and founded by him to help poor children to succeed in life he took many permanently out of poverty he had left a true multiple legacies. When I was watching the race and he crashed that day I broke into an uncontrollable cry, sobbing, loosing my air, as soon as he crashed I knew it was over it was like I felt the hit on my own body. That cry I could not stop through the following 14 days straight from as soon as I was awake to the time I would go to bed by the last few days my eyes dried up of tears my entire face puffed no more tears left. You would not believe a country with 130 million people at the time I believe completely came to a halt when his body landed in the country, the entire population of Brazil went out to the streets to receive our hero I am not exaggerating it was literally like that every single person TV anchors camera man would abandon the live news and they went outside, every body. I've never heard of anything like that in my life, rich and poor, criminals and police alike everything stopped It was a sea of people crying his death welcoming him back home. You know to this day everytime I need strength I watch videos about him and everytime I remember him all the emotions come back and I cry everytime. Rest in peace Ayrton you still live in love in our hearts and minds and I will for sure hug you once I get to heaven. Don't hold this against me because I can't quite remember it fully, but if I am not wrong at the time they ran a pole world wide with a list of well known popular names. Jesus Christ came 1st as the most know name in the world and in second apparently Ayrton Senna came up.
Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna would have raced each other for a decade , it would have been (THE BATTLE OF THE TITANS ) what a shame we were robbed of it.
You more or less missed out on the most important part in the making of Ayrton Senna as a driver and competitor....his European and World Kart Racing years......
Potentially controversial opinion, but as an Ayrton Senna fan born in 1993, I see a lot of Senna’s mentality, aggression, and skill in Max Verstappen. I wasn’t alive to witness Senna, but I’m alive to witness Verstappen, and I’m not taking his dominance for granted because there’s future generations of F1 fans who will hear of Max and wish they were around to witness his skill live
Senna was another level then verstappen … Senna could win a rice with one hand …. Also with a car less fast then others … verstappen so far won with the faster car … let’s see when he will change team
@@kimchisgood2993true, but verstappen did have some great results with toro rosso and early wins with RB before they were front of the pack with the car. If it wasn’t for his driving style you could throw Vettel into this conversation… same for Hamilton (should have won the drivers title in his freaking rookie season)!!!
@@sidneygpaiva_sgpdon’t know what F1 you watch but Max has in general a lot more in common with senna for driving style. You could compare Lewis in his earlier part of his career for sure but not his second half. Main thing is how different the cars are from then to now. In Senna’s days it was much more mechanical grip and the drivers “wrestling” the car around. Today they have to finesse the cars or else the tires are melted.
I think the 1991 Brazilian grand prix was the most legendary of Ayrton's race wins ans what makes it even more special is he won on his 31st birthday, its just a shame he had to literally collapse from exhaustion in order to achieve his goal. The title of this video is spot on, there "will" never be another Ayrton Senna. He was a good man but it makes me angry that Jean Marie Balestre treated him like shit on national television because of who he was. Ayrton could have been 4 times world champion but Balestre took the 4th title away from him after his collision with his "pet" Alain Prost at Suzuka but it was clear that whenever Ayrton did become world champion, Balestre applauded him along with the others but his smile to me looked insincere. He abused his power as FIA president and he should have been fired for his attitude, but one thing he didn't suceed at doing was destroying Ayrton's good name and legacy and that's a very good thing. RIP Ayrton ❤
While there will never be another,history has proven time and time again that greatness isn't unique or relative to a time period and that some day people will laud someone in the way we do no with Ayrton,maybe even more so. Given how F1 has changed even since his time,you can't compare the achievements of great drivers from different generations as they each face fundamentally different challenges.
Oh yes you can. A driver that can exceptionally win with a F1 stuck in 6th gear never happened ever. A driver that starts in last and finishes in first with a lap on everybody on a inferior car never happened ever. A driver that puts 4.8 second on the hardest track on F1 competing against the best of all times never happened before (4.8s in F1 is eternity in a circuit like Monaco) The consistent supremacy on the wet by a lot with huge gaps over the best pilots of all times never happened ever. The fact that only Senna could consistently drive an F1 like a Kart even in the wet is unheard of no one other than him was able to ever do that. Like he was in skills getting closer to the point where he could drift race with a F1 car that was an absolutely crazy demonic back breaking bull car driving with one hand compared to the F1 today. That is the equivalent to comparing fast and furious with driving Ms Daisy. I could go on for hours giving more and more examples like the above, Ayrton was a Genius he didn't break records he broke the damn stopwatch and he did that consistently in whatever car he was in he would pick a end pack team a win the race dancing the car all over. Get the jist of it he is absolutely truly legendary.
I am sorry Schumacher was excellent close to Ayrton and also very consistent but Ayrton was way way above he was truly exceptional beyond belief. I remember watching a race where Senna had some problem on the qualifying laps that made him start the race almost or in actual last anyways Ayrton takes over every single pilot and finishes in first. Michael was excellent all the time like Ayrton, but Ayrton was excellent all the time and consistently exceptional in comparison to his colleagues admitted by EVERY F1 driver of the time and ever since then.
Can't say this video is exactly thoroughly made and lacking oversimplifications, both in terms of general assessments and of specific facts. For example, Senna's crash in Monaco didn't happen simply because "Prost was catching him". Senna was insanely fast there, qualifying a full 1.4 seconds faster than Prost, who was driving the same car. At the race, Senna was 50 seconds ahead of Prost, who apparently thought that by upping his pace he might be able to mess with Senna's mind. So the two started trading fastest laps, until Senna got the message that he was so much ahead and faster than anybody and he should just drop his pace and finish safely. After doing that, Senna crashed at Portier in an error that would normally hint at a very amateurish driver. It was like he never practiced driving at less than 100% because his racing mentality didn't include that possibility. After that, Senna went straight to his room, having talked to nobody, and apparently had himself thinking that this would never happen to him again. In 1994, the pressure was "on Senna to find his legendary form"? Where have you seen that this was the problem? Also, I don't see the point in mentioning the Senna-Prost collisions without any explanations about how things got there. Frankly, all this just seems hastily made by someone who didn't know remotely enough about the subject matter.
1992 was nowhere near one of the worst McLarens ever, the team finished 2nd in WCC and won 5 races. There were McLarens in the late 70’s early 80’s that struggled to win at all
O que Deus tem a ver com a morte do Ayrton? Senna foi um piloto de f1. É uma profissão de risco. Por conta de uma falha mecânica, aconteceu um acidente e ele morreu. Todo ser humano morre. Por que com ele seria diferente? Deus nos dá livre arbítrio. E existem as consequências das nossas escolhas
Senna would undoubtedly gone on to win the 1994 championship based on Schumachers disqualifications, and how the Williams' other drivers scored after May 1 that year. Im pretty sure Senna would have had it in him to score at least 2 more points than Hill did in '94 season and won the championship. Senna would have made it more challenging for Schumacher in 95 because Senna was faster than Hill, but not sure if he would had won the championship in 95. Had Senna stayed with Williams he would have likely won another 3 or more championships and had he still been racing in 1999, Ferrari would had been on Senna's mind. Who knows, just educated guesses, we all lost a great driver and we are still talking about him 30 yrs later in 2024. Maybe he would have retired after the last race in 1994 after Prost retirement, Prost being a big part of Senna's motivation, or would he been motivated by the new guy Schumacher?
Just that statement, breaks a Ayrton Senna fans heart. Damn, did we want him to dominate every race. The guy never gave a half assed performance in his life. It just was not in him.I feel privleged to have lived when he raced in his prime and to see him perform racing miracles. Ayrton had alot of people who hated his guts. The fans of those he destroyed with skill on the track. But Ayrton also had hundred of millions of racing fans, who tuned in every race, to see The Maestro work his trade. We miss you, Ayrton. We always will. Rest In Peace, Great One.
He said: "I´m designed to win". It's not like anyone else saying that. It would look silly. But you can see in his eyes that he knew exactly who he was!
All times I see his interviews and the truth in his eyes, words and voice and his self confidence... I want to cry! And I do!
If only he didn't thank "god"
@@listenu yeah im a brazilian atheist and I always think about hexactly that! brazilian is just too and I MEAN TOO religious. its a shame.
That is what made him doad things. He truly believed that God would always protect him do brilliant and stupid things at a race track@@listenu
Perfect comment!
Its been 30 years now since the death of the GOAT, Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger in 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. RIP SENNA & Ratzenberger....😢

Ευχαριστώ πολύ για το βίντεο!
Είμαι πολύ χαρούμενος που γνωρίζω ότι έχετε ήδη δει τον αγώνα των Βραζιλιάνων ηρώων μας, δυστυχώς γεννήθηκα το 2000 και μπορούσα να δω το μεγαλείο του Senna μόνο στην οθόνη.
I remember Muarry Walkers words, "For many, there never has been, nor ever will be, anyone to compare with Ayrton Senna."
Senna is just eternal the best
Senna the GOAT
1/5/1994 - 1/5/2024. Rest in peace champ 🙏🏼
One of the things that set Senna apart from others was his understanding that there are things bigger than sport, and being a sportsperson should not degrade you into a worse version of a human being by transforming you into a performing machine for sponsors and teams and keeping you silent about injustices and inequalities around the world. His 1993 comment "The rich cannot continue to live on an island of wealth in an ocean of poverty" is one of the greatest lines by an athlete in any sport. He was up there alongside the likes of Craig Hodges who spoke out against social and racial inequality while being an NBA star, Socrates in his brave stance against the Brazilian military dictatorship and in favour of worker democracy while being one of the highlights of the country's national football team, and others.
As a kid, I remember my father saying: there comes the Crazy yellow helmet again. My father was a Mansell fan, but above all he loved F1. I remember his face when Senna was declared dead. He got the Punch in the stomach- I did not believe he could die he said.
"Crazy yellow helmet". I like that.
Sad story bro
Mansell was better. Listen to your dad.
Senna set a fast lap with an already broken wheel seconds before he died in Tamburello. For sure there will never be another racer like him 👍👍👍👍
Only die those are forgotten
SENNA Sempre 🇧🇷
As a Brazilian who was used to love soccer players, He was the only one sportsman that made me cry on that fateful Race he died. RIP big hero!
Moi aussi j ai pleure et 30 ans apres sa mort je pleure encore
Not one of the greatest, he is the greatest F1 driver.
RIP legend
There was a natural charisma about him that endeared him to fans. You knew he would always give 100%, his level of talent and fearlessness meant that usually he was near the front.
He was also spectacular at overtaking, very few drivers since have been able to approach his skill in this area.
The last, the unique, the best. This is Senna.
Too difficult for me to watch this whole video, but know this...I am grateful to have been alive when Ayrton was driving...😢
I still love him!❤ 30 years since you’ve been gone!
😭
🌹
The day we lost Senna at Imola was a dark one for motorsport. It's heartbreaking but also a reminder of the safety advancements in the sport that came about because of that tragedy.
Genius. GOAT!
The best driver of all time.
Oh man, I always cry when I remember him.
Forever in my heart.
No one come even close to Senna. He’s among Bolt, Phelps and Jordan as the best athletes by far in their own sport
There is one...Jim Clark
Rip Senna 😭😭😭
He would have been the best of them all! Gone too soon! Saudades meu irmão! 🇧🇷💔
Exatos 30 anos hoje 😢
been following F1 for 43 years. He is the greatest. I even named one of my sons Ayrton... Michael got very close. Max is now coming close I think.
45 years for me too - agree Senna is the best there has ever been or ever will be. I think Schumacher, Alonso, Verstappen are about half to threequarters of the way from regular average F1 drivers' level to Senna's level - they are way better than most, but not quite at Senna's level - he had something extra - a super extreme freak talent. In fact i think he was the greatest sportsman of all time. It's sad that people outside the sport have no way of recognizing that because the activity is just to alien to them - it's like asking them to rank the greatest fighterpilots, or astronauts - they just can't relate at all.
Max isn't even close.
even Lewis is better than Max.
China sprint qualifying q3, rain: where is Max. Senna would never fail such rain on pole.
@@mineralwater6736 Lewis is the best thing after Ayrton. Not that close to him though
What people don’t realize often is that he was by far the most skilled pilot in 1992 and 1993, but he could not win the championship because the Williams cars were by far the best. When he finally went to Williams in 1994, the rules were changed so there would be more competition. The problem was that they could not make a good and safe car for him while Benetton was cheating.
Ayrton Senna Forever...❤
Currently, the Ayrton Senna Institute trains 60 thousand educators and financially supports the professional and educational training of 2 million children in Brazil.
Wrrong it has helped around 30 million childreen. Until now. It's HUGH ❤
@@andreia0000
No. Brazil has approximately 225 million inhabitants in total. Of this total, 70 million are children. Although the institution's work is very beautiful, 30 million is the total number of children with some loss of social rights (economically poor). The Ayrton Senna Institute supports, at most, 2 million children (according to information on the website). The Institute is located in the state of São Paulo and does not have the capacity to cover the entire country.
I dont follow the sport but I've heard of Senna's name a lot. But that right there makes him a hero in my book. Someone who gave back to his community. In the docs I've seen of him, he always seemed like a such a good guy, very humble.
Best diver 👍
My dyslexia got me there! Thank you!
In "Bürburging 84" he already had told us what he was come for.
this deserves a lot more views
still the best.
The man was a source of pride for all of us Brazilians , when he died it was like losing a family member , many wepd And so did I.
? Monaco '88. Prost wasn't catching, Senna was so far ahead that Ron Dennis asked him to slow down which he did and which caused a lapse in concentration leading to the crash...
Stefan was behind senna during that epic monaco run
I mean, there will never be another one for all of us. Everyone is unique.
The man from another dimension
There are NO similarities in Senna and Hamilton! Senna could take ANY car and perform every race. Hamilton and so many others need a good car. Not to mention, the cars were so different back then. Senna was shifting and steering with one hand and still dominating. Hamilton desperately wants to be compared to Senna but that’s absolutely ridiculous. Compare him with Schumacher
Incorrect, I know 2 mechanics that have spannered for both in F1… Both said Hamiltons car control and feel in the wet is on par with Senna.
Sorry to piss on your rant, but I’ll take their word over your armchair opinion.
@@barksnbo3625 “I know 2 mechanics that have spannered for both in F1”…sure you do nerd. Piss off.
No one, since Senna passed, has the skills and the soul commit to win. Senna hated being second.
Senna had some Lauda and Piquet on his veins, that eye of the tiger for winning; but Senna was beyond that because all in his life would be around racing. His whole motto in life was "Win, win, win the race and the championship". His life was inside an F1 car, and everything in his life would circle around that; he didn't care much for money, women or anything else, even in his relax time, his mind was always, always thinking how to be the best F1 driver ever, in history. And he did it.
It's only sad, that unfortnatly, he didn't live to win more world championships, though i do think that he would race 5 or 6 years more, and no more than that, he would end his career around the year 2000.
The Best.
Senna ☝🏻
I never liked Senna as an F1 driver but F1 wouldn't have been the same without him! His clashes with Mansell, who I couldn't stand, were worth the watch on their own!
Senna forever🥹❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️
My favourit diver
Eddie Jordan called Toivonen's performances "incredible" and compared him to Ayrton Senna, whom Toivonen had raced against while in Formula Three.
THE BEST
Saudades eternas 🙏❤
Oh God 😭😭😭😭
the greatest. i stil cry to the day,
In Monaco he passed Nikki Lauda and not Prost as it was wrongly stated
Goated diver!
😂 Dyslexia had me reading over it haha, thanks for the comment!
After winning Portugal 85 you state ‘Senna would go on to win a few more races throughout the year’ he won one more race in ‘85, one. During his time at Lotus he won 6 races across 3 seasons, 2 each year.
Also, Prost rhymes with Lost, not Ghost
This video doesn't really represent how incredible he was in every aspect all around in his life, I had watched him from the time of the black Lotus I was very young I was born in 1980 and as early as I can remember I was his die-hard fan. I didn't miss not one race in my country they would play it on tv at like 3am and me and my dad would get up to watch it, my dad used to race Gordinis 2ith Nigel Mansell many times I was the one waking up my dad all excited to watch the race than the recap it was such a joy in my life, increadibly magical. That time was the time of the great giant pilots they were all top notch but Ayrton was above them all by far.
A am Brazilian too and this man beloved Ayrton Senna my idol to this date still lives in my heart he is still a regular part of my life, this man was exceptional he was a genius pilot to the likes of Einstein or Nicola Tesla Ayrton Senna was brilliant literally beyond belief that was true to all car racing drivers in and out of F1.
But also in his personal life he was outstanding a great man, a great father, a great husband, a great son, a great friend and he had left a legacy in Brazil that still lives strong today called "Seninha" a charitable organisation funded and founded by him to help poor children to succeed in life he took many permanently out of poverty he had left a true multiple legacies.
When I was watching the race and he crashed that day I broke into an uncontrollable cry, sobbing, loosing my air, as soon as he crashed I knew it was over it was like I felt the hit on my own body. That cry I could not stop through the following 14 days straight from as soon as I was awake to the time I would go to bed by the last few days my eyes dried up of tears my entire face puffed no more tears left.
You would not believe a country with 130 million people at the time I believe completely came to a halt when his body landed in the country, the entire population of Brazil went out to the streets to receive our hero I am not exaggerating it was literally like that every single person TV anchors camera man would abandon the live news and they went outside, every body.
I've never heard of anything like that in my life, rich and poor, criminals and police alike everything stopped It was a sea of people crying his death welcoming him back home.
You know to this day everytime I need strength I watch videos about him and everytime I remember him all the emotions come back and I cry everytime.
Rest in peace Ayrton you still live in love in our hearts and minds and I will for sure hug you once I get to heaven.
Don't hold this against me because I can't quite remember it fully, but if I am not wrong at the time they ran a pole world wide with a list of well known popular names. Jesus Christ came 1st as the most know name in the world and in second apparently Ayrton Senna came up.
He is & always will be the GOAT ,anyone says or thinks otherwise, we gonna have a big problem
Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna would have raced each other for a decade , it would have been (THE BATTLE OF THE TITANS ) what a shame we were robbed of it.
G.O.A.T
Amazing swimming skills
Dyslexia got the best of me on this one, thanks for the comment!
😭😭😭
You more or less missed out on the most important part in the making of Ayrton Senna as a driver and competitor....his European and World Kart Racing years......
Never seems to be a long time.
There are too many nowadays, so that can't stand out easily.
Potentially controversial opinion, but as an Ayrton Senna fan born in 1993, I see a lot of Senna’s mentality, aggression, and skill in Max Verstappen. I wasn’t alive to witness Senna, but I’m alive to witness Verstappen, and I’m not taking his dominance for granted because there’s future generations of F1 fans who will hear of Max and wish they were around to witness his skill live
Senna was another level then verstappen … Senna could win a rice with one hand …. Also with a car less fast then others … verstappen so far won with the faster car … let’s see when he will change team
@@kimchisgood2993 I agree, Senna is next level and won’t be replicated, but it’s nice to see his approach to racing still lives on in people like Max
Verstappen have nothing in common or compared to Ayrton Senna.
Maybe Hamilton, maybe.
@@kimchisgood2993true, but verstappen did have some great results with toro rosso and early wins with RB before they were front of the pack with the car.
If it wasn’t for his driving style you could throw Vettel into this conversation… same for Hamilton (should have won the drivers title in his freaking rookie season)!!!
@@sidneygpaiva_sgpdon’t know what F1 you watch but Max has in general a lot more in common with senna for driving style. You could compare Lewis in his earlier part of his career for sure but not his second half.
Main thing is how different the cars are from then to now. In Senna’s days it was much more mechanical grip and the drivers “wrestling” the car around. Today they have to finesse the cars or else the tires are melted.
The incident with Eric Comas was at training, not at the Grand Prix.
Near the start of the video you show Warwick in a Toleman overtaking another car. Not Senna
I think the 1991 Brazilian grand prix was the most legendary of Ayrton's race wins ans what makes it even more special is he won on his 31st birthday, its just a shame he had to literally collapse from exhaustion in order to achieve his goal. The title of this video is spot on, there "will" never be another Ayrton Senna. He was a good man but it makes me angry that Jean Marie Balestre treated him like shit on national television because of who he was. Ayrton could have been 4 times world champion but Balestre took the 4th title away from him after his collision with his "pet" Alain Prost at Suzuka but it was clear that whenever Ayrton did become world champion, Balestre applauded him along with the others but his smile to me looked insincere. He abused his power as FIA president and he should have been fired for his attitude, but one thing he didn't suceed at doing was destroying Ayrton's good name and legacy and that's a very good thing. RIP Ayrton ❤
Fun fact, one of those runner up finishes in the carting championships was to nascar driver lake speed.
While there will never be another,history has proven time and time again that greatness isn't unique or relative to a time period and that some day people will laud someone in the way we do no with Ayrton,maybe even more so. Given how F1 has changed even since his time,you can't compare the achievements of great drivers from different generations as they each face fundamentally different challenges.
Oh yes you can.
A driver that can exceptionally win with a F1 stuck in 6th gear never happened ever.
A driver that starts in last and finishes in first with a lap on everybody on a inferior car never happened ever.
A driver that puts 4.8 second on the hardest track on F1 competing against the best of all times never happened before (4.8s in F1 is eternity in a circuit like Monaco)
The consistent supremacy on the wet by a lot with huge gaps over the best pilots of all times never happened ever.
The fact that only Senna could consistently drive an F1 like a Kart even in the wet is unheard of no one other than him was able to ever do that. Like he was in skills getting closer to the point where he could drift race with a F1 car that was an absolutely crazy demonic back breaking bull car driving with one hand compared to the F1 today. That is the equivalent to comparing fast and furious with driving Ms Daisy.
I could go on for hours giving more and more examples like the above, Ayrton was a Genius he didn't break records he broke the damn stopwatch and he did that consistently in whatever car he was in he would pick a end pack team a win the race dancing the car all over.
Get the jist of it he is absolutely truly legendary.
Truth!
ver brasileiros respondendo em inglês nos comentários para outros brasileiros não tem preço...
Você acha que todos que comentam aqui são brasileiros? Este vídeo foi feito por um gringo!
I have a friend that looks just like him. Brazilian an all
Who needs another Senna when there is Sebastian Loeb who wins everything everywhere.
ok zoomer
There will never be another Michael Schumacher, either! Both Senna and Schuey are heads and tails above the likes of Hamilton.
I am sorry Schumacher was excellent close to Ayrton and also very consistent but Ayrton was way way above he was truly exceptional beyond belief.
I remember watching a race where Senna had some problem on the qualifying laps that made him start the race almost or in actual last anyways Ayrton takes over every single pilot and finishes in first.
Michael was excellent all the time like Ayrton, but Ayrton was excellent all the time and consistently exceptional in comparison to his colleagues admitted by EVERY F1 driver of the time and ever since then.
The way Senna used to drive would not work with these current cars
sempre
Can't say this video is exactly thoroughly made and lacking oversimplifications, both in terms of general assessments and of specific facts. For example, Senna's crash in Monaco didn't happen simply because "Prost was catching him". Senna was insanely fast there, qualifying a full 1.4 seconds faster than Prost, who was driving the same car. At the race, Senna was 50 seconds ahead of Prost, who apparently thought that by upping his pace he might be able to mess with Senna's mind. So the two started trading fastest laps, until Senna got the message that he was so much ahead and faster than anybody and he should just drop his pace and finish safely. After doing that, Senna crashed at Portier in an error that would normally hint at a very amateurish driver. It was like he never practiced driving at less than 100% because his racing mentality didn't include that possibility. After that, Senna went straight to his room, having talked to nobody, and apparently had himself thinking that this would never happen to him again.
In 1994, the pressure was "on Senna to find his legendary form"? Where have you seen that this was the problem? Also, I don't see the point in mentioning the Senna-Prost collisions without any explanations about how things got there. Frankly, all this just seems hastily made by someone who didn't know remotely enough about the subject matter.
❤❤
Never Say Never
The closest we have to Ayrton's speed today is maybe Max and thats about it
1992 was nowhere near one of the worst McLarens ever, the team finished 2nd in WCC and won 5 races. There were McLarens in the late 70’s early 80’s that struggled to win at all
Not to mention 2015… that indeed, was probably the worst ever Mclaren.
Never Say Never in F1...
lol funny to hear him say pro-st
idk bro... lemme cook in the Sim
Yoda: Oooh,but they will bethey willbee
Am I the only one who sees Verstappen as a young Senna? The similarities are there.
Strange tittle, verstappen is similar
God stupidly appart
Where was god in imola 94 ?
Good video btw
O que Deus tem a ver com a morte do Ayrton? Senna foi um piloto de f1. É uma profissão de risco. Por conta de uma falha mecânica, aconteceu um acidente e ele morreu. Todo ser humano morre. Por que com ele seria diferente? Deus nos dá livre arbítrio. E existem as consequências das nossas escolhas
You clearly missed the point.
Senna would undoubtedly gone on to win the 1994 championship based on Schumachers disqualifications, and how the Williams' other drivers scored after May 1 that year. Im pretty sure Senna would have had it in him to score at least 2 more points than Hill did in '94 season and won the championship. Senna would have made it more challenging for Schumacher in 95 because Senna was faster than Hill, but not sure if he would had won the championship in 95. Had Senna stayed with Williams he would have likely won another 3 or more championships and had he still been racing in 1999, Ferrari would had been on Senna's mind. Who knows, just educated guesses, we all lost a great driver and we are still talking about him 30 yrs later in 2024. Maybe he would have retired after the last race in 1994 after Prost retirement, Prost being a big part of Senna's motivation, or would he been motivated by the new guy Schumacher?
15 year olds dude.
He was very analog not possible in todays cars
He was not the best for nothing he qould be the best of nowadays too. Je never ride a F1 amd qhen did a 1st time, he rode 3sec down for each lap.
Don’t say never
