it’s the best piece they ever made but it’s actually removed from the episode now. on Netflix if you watch this episode it’s not there because of the sponsors on the cars.
my mum got me into F1 I remember Senna's crash I was 6 and watching it with my mum I saw the crash and her reaction was a horrified gasp it was only when I watched the Senna documentary and they showed the crash that I truly understood the horror and shock it. He was so skilled and talented. Senna and Schumacher were the best F1 drivers and are my favourites its so sad how their lives ended up
I'm really glad to hear these words about Villeneuve from Clarkson. Gilles was from my hometown, but I wasn't born when he was alive. I always heard he was special and all, but from a local perspective, I never really understood how much. Now I'm older and I'm much more passionate about F1, and hearing people like Jeremy talking about him like that... it makes me really proud to be from Quebec. Salut Gilles.
@@zodiac909 Thank you Toronto! Glad to have one of yours in the mix as well!! I'm also a Latifi fan!! He's not at the same level as those legends, but he's still quick and his energy is awesome. The guy's just lovable. I wish him the best.
The greatest of the greatest. If there was a word to describe Senna, it would be used only once in the human history. That's how rare he was. Still is. Forever.
Senna was my hero growing up. I was gutted when he had his accident but all those guys had balls of steel back then and the risks were there for everyone to see. Such a sad loss. RIP Ayrton.
Interesting. Me too. And I'm Brazilian. After his death though, watching videos, movies, etc, I finally understood how good Senna was, as a driver, and as a person.
How I miss the McLaren dancing on my Sundays ... Sadly, I was a kid and I remember how I hated that Senna moved to Williams, in the end we all know how the history ends.
Like the other post said they used to run a special boost mode just for quali then turn the engine down or swap it I can't rem now, there was a doc about mansell legends of f1 where he was talking about it.
Duncan Bleak If Villeneuve had lived things could have been very different, he was before my time but hearing drivers of the time talk about how good he was and watching old races, he was phenomenal. Lauda said he was maybe the fastest driver he ever saw but he didn't know if he would have won as many championships as he could have with the talent he possessed because he was never willing to take a loss, he drove to win regardless of circumstances and was very hard on a car. He would drive the wheels off literally to keep himself in the race and never settled for less than victory, sometimes you have to drive for points.
It's considered the best F1 car of all times. It's not about ONLY horsepower, but the design made such huge power under control in times were there were almost none computer or eletronic control in F1 racing.
The day he died 1st May 94 my life descended into chaos, I had to have counseling for a few months and it took a over a year to get back to normal. The only reason I carried on watching F1 was Schumacher, since his retirement I haven't bothered with F1. A big shout out to Schumacher, come on get well soon!!!!!!!
I have a couple of pics on my office wall one is a signed pic of Lewis in the wet at Fuji in the wet in a merc the other is Nigel giiving Senna a lift on his car................
the only reason some still think senna isn't the greatest race car driver is because he never had the opportunity to have a long carrer, had he finished a full carrer in f1 he probably would have had 9-10 championships surpassing everything
"Senna he was spectacular every single time he got in a car"
Who was the other driver he said
@@foodreacts837 gilles villeneuve. Sadly died in 1982 in a crash
THe Best of all time.

Senna was an artist. And every single track was his Mona Lisa.
Bravo!!!!!
Earthly 2d understanding

Man, that's probably the best statement I've ever read about Senna
Senna is like watching Da Vinci at work, Villeneuve is like watching Picasso at work
When it comes to presenting, you cannot beat a passionate and emotional Jeremy Clarkson.
Absolutely love this comment, because it's soo true !!!!!
When i see clarkson crying i cant hold my Tears....
Did he cry
He didn’t
@@foodreacts837 You can see him start to lose it. That’s out of respect for true unrivalled greatness.

Senna was truly the greatest. Rest in peace king 👑
Every single time he got in the car. This about sums it up.
Shivers down my spine
Perfect words about Senna
Pele and senna the two names that always be representing Brazil.
And Brazillian People have so much pride of them
#BothLegends
Ronaldo Nazario is well
Xuxa boinked both of them , true?
@@mariogonzalez5107 Man! Lol, I had never realised that.
Actually Pele nowadays could keep his mouth closed.
One of the rare moments top gear cut the gags and was super serious
The greatest of the greatest. If there was a word to describe Senna, it would be used only once in the human history. That's how rare he was. Still is. Forever.
It's the one handed 4g cornering whilst changing gear with the other that gets me.

Man, this Senna was fast, fearless and crazy! Old-good F1 times!
Untouchable , unforgettable, unstoppable forever senna
I was Prost fan until I realised how very special Senna Da Silva was !
Interesting. Me too. And I'm Brazilian. After his death though, watching videos, movies, etc, I finally understood how good Senna was, as a driver, and as a person.
This gave me the chills.. RIP 💚
The man who transcended his sport. R.I.P champ
We who had the privilege to watch him at work, we know that he was unique in evryting he did.
Love you senna
26 years this year rip Senna 🏎️🇧🇷
Nenhum piloto hoje pode ser comparado com Senna. Senna sempre vai ser o melhor piloto F1 do mundo.
Completamente de acuerdo. Siempre Senna!!
"He is the best motor racing driver in the world by a LONG way."

felipe infernal “we can fight now”
40 years on and I still miss Senna....
Senna🇧🇷 was the Greatest Racing Driver that ever lived! As Lauda said and it's true !
Never another soul like this one.
Best ever, my hero, god bless you Ayrton
Senna died in 1994 but is he though? He's still with us every day.
1:07 the iconic ayrton senna and Alan Prost
A tear every fuckin time
Senna was spetacular in every second on the car
especially when he hit that wall at Tumborello in 1994 on Imola

Nos deixou um legado enorme,e principalmente nos ensinou a ser verdadeiros competidores SENNA SEMPRE
Yesterday on May 1st, 24 years ago You gone on His will, to teach His drivers to drive.
We mortals salute You, great Senna!
Today - 25 years without Ayrton...
To anyone wondering what the music was its
Siren song by bat for lashes.
Pure racing, pure driving. No money, and no politics.
Watching Senna's black Lotus DANCE in Adelaide track brings me such emotions
that cannot be explained with words.
Rip Ayrton Senna ❤️
In other words A REAL DRIVER DRIVING A REAL VEHICLE, A WEAPON CALLED A COFFIN ON WHEELS
1,200 horsepower? In an F1 car?!
Did I hear that right?!
:O
The I4 turbo BMW engine used by Benetton in 86 produced around 1400...
Back when F1 didn’t have these god damn hybrid and engine restrictions
Only In qualifying, in race trim they had about 600 - 650 HP, which is much less than today´s engines.
That's insane! Thanks for the link!
Like the other post said they used to run a special boost mode just for quali then turn the engine down or swap it I can't rem now, there was a doc about mansell legends of f1 where he was talking about it.
If anyone knows anything about motorsport, they know senna is the greatest!
you know the thing is serious when Clarkson spent 17 minutes without cracking a joke
1) senna
2) clark
3) villeneuve
4) fangio
5) schumacher
Shaboi_Mike I just don’t think the cars are challenging enough to consider him top 5
Tears.
Clarkson doesn't give many endorsements/compliments so when he does it means that extra bit more.
Gilles was an animal, pure instinct and speed… he was definitely the best
We love Jeremy...be honesty,be Ares (starsign like Senna) Thank you.
GOAT
Talent mind execution
The epitome of perfection
En definitíva, Villeneve era un espectaculo pilotando en numerosas ocasiones. Senna era siempre un total espectaculo pilotando un coche.
Senna, The Magician.
Ayrton Senna 🇧🇷 miss you
Ayrton senna my hero descanse em paz idolo!
Senna Show.
What a natural talent, my prize possession is a Tag Heuer Senna watch
r.i.p senna and good old f1 era
spectacular every single time he got in a car
Jeremy hit the nail right on the head with that statement 100%.
SENNA ERA ASSIM MESMO. ESPETACULAR SEMPRE!
not sure how many times I have watched this !! 50, 100. It is just amazing.
palavras perfeitas para descrever Ayrton Senna
Verdade! Melhor do mundo...
Music at the end is super
King of the Monaco - 6 times Winner
The era senna raced 84-94 wasn't only the greatest era of F1, but it was also the greatest era to be alive
thats some pure goosebumps
The ultimate drivers driver
Anyone who makes into f1 should be respected ,the greatest will always be debated for me the guys from 60's 70's when a crash meant death
Just watched one of your thousands of great things on the track.....? MONACO 1987 WHAT A QUALIFYING LAP OUTSTANDING SENNA THE NAME WILL NEVER DIE
Its a great shame that when Senna was at Lotus the great Colin Chapman was not there because I think together they could have been Epic.
Make no mistake Villeneuve and Senna are thought of as on the same elevated level for those who know post-war F1.
Duncan Bleak If Villeneuve had lived things could have been very different, he was before my time but hearing drivers of the time talk about how good he was and watching old races, he was phenomenal.

@@rafaelrp07 and the sheer dominance winning all but one race. Incredible
I wish i grew up watching Senna.

No Jeremy. Senna's huge brass testicles gave him all the downforce he really needed in that McLaren.
Senna!
The man from another dimension.
There never has been
Nor ever will be
Anyone to compare with

Oh my god ! the emotions!!!

When Senna died I've spent six seasons without watching F1. I only resumed to to watch it when Barrichello went to Ferrari.
He cheated a lot though
@@sukhdevr3489 how did he cheat? Why do you think he was the greatest in wet weather and pole laps in an inferior car....
@@ianexcalibur7096 Schumaker. When he crashed Damon Hill and multiple other ocassions
@@sukhdevr3489 That's right, that's Schumacher, I'm talking about Senna.
Gilles was also brilliant, though.
Michael Stephen Yes he was, but not at the same level of Senna.
Senna is the best
The Best of all and many times he said he respect FANGIO as the best ok from argentina and Ayrton way indeed the best
Simplesmente o melhor
Jeremy is the only man who is capable of reviewing Aryton Senna .
Music : Bat For Lashes - Siren Song
Thank you
Great Drivers Driver.👌👌👌💐💐💐
Which background music is that one can any body tell
Senna was basically the better version of Villeneuve.
Here (Quebec) hardcore Villeneuve fan but Senna was ...hmmm Senna a bit better!
I don’t know who villeneuave is need to find out how many f1s did he win
He won 0
@@foodreacts837 and Hamilton won 7 compared to Senna’s 4…does that Hamilton is better than Senna??
