Senna is the best for some reasons: he came from a social class and was from a country that does not have the power of the F 1 bosses, won races and drove cars with bad aerodynamics, archaic dampers, manual gearboxes with no technology at a time of competitiveness. Just know his story and watch the cameras on board of the cars of the time. He died leading a race in an idle car and giving everyone a driving lesson. He stopped during races to save injured pilots with death threats. He had a riding technique that is now a matter of study proving that he was a genius. And when he died Formula 1 ended because it lost the spirit of claw that moved the championship
@@raquelll2933 He was a great driver no doubt but his family had money, no question about that. The start of the path for Brazilian drivers was paved by Fittipaldi and Piquet (drivers that don't get the credit they deserve).

M2orNot This is my opinion and of many people: Senna was bigger than the championship itself, he was the spirit, the soul of F1 because he had a claw and brought the emotion that everyone was looking for, fought for the safety of the drivers, even stopped the car to power save the pilot Erick Comas that today owes his life to him, fought against the powerful of the F1 several times: saw a race to be interrupted due to a small rain just at the moment that would pass Prost, then they took a championship won by him just because, after being beaten and taken from the race by Prost, he had to go through a chicane to get back on track. He was the master of the curves and the tracks, he dominated the pedals with perfect technique, the king of the rain and of Monaco in very powerful cars, fast, but without technology, little aerodynamics and with archaic buffers did incredible times: diminished 1.5 seconds of his own teammate. And he did not have the same financial condition as Piquet and Fittipaldi at the start, although both I admire , Senna was better than all, is at the top above any driver in technique, charisma and determination and died leading a race in an inguable car, which he did not even fit in it and that they still allowed him to drive a car with patched steering rod. Because of all this things today he become an unmatched myth, a legend forever.
A bit of trivia. After this drive, Ayrton said that the car was very fragile and the chassis was flexing way too much. Honda delayed the NSX for a few months solely to stiffen it up to Ayrton's liking.

That thing he does with the throttle is pretty insane. He's basically doing a very quick and sophisticated "trial and error" to feel out the exact moment to get back on the gas. He gets the car on the limit and lightly prods the gas pedal constantly to measure the grip. When it's too early he keeps prodding.

You can see with his inputs how he’s trying to maintain slip angle through the corners. The steering should look straighter and feel vague as the essential rotates less than 8 degrees and he distributes the weight easily with his gas and brake. It seems simple in a sense but you can really just how refined these world class legends were!
@Ultimo Boss karting is the back bones of motorsport yes you can compare a car to it. Karting has no computers, no assists and all that. Its all on the drover in karting.
I owned an NSX for 15 years. It is an AMAZING car. This -R version is a beast. The only problem I had was the stock breaking setup would fade under track use... to the point you step on the brakes and all you get is brake pedal shudder with minimal slowing. Scary moments indeed!
He keeps tapping the throttle to keep it in the range, so when he comes out, he gets the best band for torque. What the modern cars with thousands of electrical gizmos do now, he did all those with his foot. Just shows how great this man was.. Ayrton Senna is the synonym for the word LEGEND
@@md.shaonprinceshuvo5412 Prost had it, Ferrari 641 was nowhere near the McLaren in 1990 season. Giles Villeneuve put his Ferrari beyond far beyond it was expected. Hamilton in 2012 is a vintage example of putting the McLaren it did not belong. And the Grandmaster Fangio made it a habit to outperform his car. And so did Sir Sterling Moss. It has always been the trademark of great champions, regardless whether they would be won the championship or not. LeClerc and Gasly have this habit of putting cars in places where it never belonged.
He paid no attention to the cameras or the people around him. Before getting into the car he examined the car quickly but technically. And he drove like he was in a race. No words to describe this video.
very good comment I really agree and every way shape and form. I always wondered what Ayrton senna's reaction would have been if you would have got to drive the McLaren F1 or maybe he got to drive it I'm sure that Gordon Murray had the concept car in 92 and 3 considering it came out in 94 I believe I'm sure he would probably Drive the piss out of that too
Not entirely true....i believe Schumacher and Hakkinen were the best of the best and have represented the epitome of F1 where Ferrari and Mclaren really were top of the game. You can't beat that level of performance. But that is like comparing Michael Jordan with Kobe Bryant. They were both top of the game and they were beasts on the court and mastered their game. So maybe these kinds of comparisons are not relevant or true.
@@PharaoahMonk Well, only after 6 years after Senna died, Schumacher managed to surpass Senna's F1 achievements (not all). So Schumacher was, from a mathematical viewpoint, not the best driver in the late 80s and early 90s. That prize goes to Senna.
@@PharaoahMonk IMO Jim Clark was on another level to everyone, even senna himself said he was his idol as well as Fangio who said he is the greatest Grand Prix driver of all time.
Look at his right foot. In the corners, after the "punta-tacco" he was bumping his feet. That was his technique for "traction control". He had traction control in his feet. What a legend
@@gh0st_dem0lisher well, in F1 it helped for sure, but he did this after thry banned turbos too, and NSX is not turboed anyway. He did this to keep the momentum in general
As a fan of this incredibly talented man, this is the real way to drive and especially a manual. Ayrton always preferred the manual gear change in cars and felt it needed more skill and as an owner of a manual vehicle myself, I agree. It does take more skill and coordination with clutch and throttle. For the youngsters out there who think they know how to drive, watch this man, he makes us all like learners. I miss him so much. R.I.P Ayrton.
@@Kraken9911 No need to give a fuck, he is the master and could not fail this... He was the best safety device for all of them at the wheel. Did you see his jacket ? BOSS is printed big haha ;)
I've been following F1 since 1973, and I say to all of you: Senna was the best driver of all time! No matter what they say to you, Senna was the best....
*Reading telemetry data* "Akari.. There must be something wrong.." "What Emiko?" "Well.. the car seem to have done things that we didn't design it for.." "Oh.. That data is from Ayrton's drive.." "Ah.. ok.. makes sense.."
He was so confident driving any car and always at full throttle. He was my favourite pilot in F1. The biggest loss to F1 and the racing World. He would have won many more championships I'm sure about it. He will be number 1 forever.
@@garethbattersby 🤔hmm i don't actually know 😂ig being motorcycle riders danger is rarely on oir minds. But since the throttle is on the right handlebar, the clutch is a lever on the left handle bar and the gear lever is at out feet (left to be exact, and you click it into place with the ball of your foot or toe) But we rev match very similar, for quite some time going back to at least the 60's. Since a motorcycles powerband is kinda like turbo lag, especially with smaller engines. If for example the powerband is from 10k-15k when coming into a corner we do the same thing as car drivers but basically rev match so that on apex you're smack dab in the powerband, utilising all the power out of the corner. But these days with quickshifters and autoblippers some people don't rev match since the electronics do the work. But now that i think of it, locking up the rear might be a concern for cars which could lead to spinning out. Higher skilled riders lock up the rear while rev matching to back in the bike (slide the rear wheel out to position the bike in the right direction) to reduce leaning. The problem with that is if you're not skilled enough you'll highside. Which is where the bike flings you into the air mid corner.
@@thepsychicpeach8425 Cars usually have bigger brakes at the front so when you lock up,instead of spinning out,you would understeer and the car only wants to go straight
It does not. Constant throttle jerking switches the balance of the car back & forth, giving lower available grip for cornering. Today he would have no chance with that technique
Apart from his mocassins, his driving style, his coolness, his footwork, his jacket and sunglasses... the other thing that I really love in this video its the begining song. Its like a super hero theme for his entrance... very nice!
For my first forestry rally -back in day - i realised only on the day itself that I'd only ever driven the car in cowboy boots ... so thats what i did the event in!
@@The_Touring_Jedi most say he did this to let the revs stay as rigth as possible, wich makes sense, but if you look at one of those charts(idk their name, those that show throttle and braking) you get the conclusion that he was accelerating to the limit of the tyres traction and making his own perfect TCS.
A técinica e genialidade do Senna era absurda. O cara além de fazer Punta taco com extrema perfeição consegue manter o giro do carro sempre alto nas frenagens sem deixar o carro derrapar mto e perder a aderência, e qd o carro sai um pouco de traseira ele corrige como se fosse brincadeira de criança. Gênio.
It makes me very happy that people from all around the world recognize his greatness. Senna is a hero for many in Brazil, including me. There will never be anyone like him. Descanse em paz, Chefe. Senna sempre.
Driving brand new NSX with Senna behind the wheel is like Guy: how fast are we going? Senna: i don't know Guy: Well ...then look at the tacho Senna looking at the tacho: Guy: AND??? Senna: Well... the left clock hand is on the red, and the right clock hand is death down. *Lendário. Mestre. Para sempre em nossa memória. R.I.P Ayrton Senna*
I’ve seen this video probably 100 times or more and every time I admire his brilliance, and I have tears in my eyes. RIP Ayrton, the best to have ever lived.
Incredible throttle control. Seeing that in the same screen as steering wheel and vehicle positioning is one of the most impressive displays of driving I have ever seen. The world was robbed of a total legend.
We’re so lucky to have this footage. Aryton was in that era where lots of things got missed and forgotten about purely because we didn’t have a 1000 cameras to record shit. The only way this magic survived the years was through storytelling. That makes sense for legends hundreds of years ago but this was 30/35 years ago.
The most impressive thing is that he's not just good on F 1 driving but also with other cars ! He's technique was and will be unic forever! Senna is still the goat as of today...what a driver..!
When you're an F1 champion, driving a street car is literally slow-motion. You should hear the stories of a running-late Michael Schumacher asking to drive the taxi himself, and proceed to slalom down the highway to the airport.
The reasons, which in my opinion, make Senna the best of all times are several: Senna was a magician of the clues, everyone knows. And in an era of cars without any technology, archaic monopods, without quality damper, without changes and highly technological aerodynamics like today, he shone and showed techniques of unequaled piloting, in addition to fighting ferociously for its position, to have great claw and determination since came from a country that did not have the power of the greats of Formula 1. He won races before entering Maclaren with cars that were technically inferior to the leading cars of the season.. And precisely because of his exceptional talent being recognized by the owners of team was called to compose this team next to Prost. Senna gained space in Maclaren for being appreciated by all not only for his way of guiding but for being extremely thorough in the pits, for studying too much equipment. But he had to share his space with Prost. Scumacher at Ferrari always had a team that worked almost entirely for him, including Barrichello drove too much for the good of the team and favored him in some races. Senna also ran and won to give joy to his people, so he made it a point to take the Brazilian flag in the car and show it in the victories, show that despite a working people and suffered by governments that did not value the power of its working people , he showed all his countrymen that they believed in life, because through work their dreams were conquered. That is why he ran on that tragic morning in Imola, because he did not want to disappoint so many fans around the world and he took with him not only the flag of Brazil but Austria, to honor Roland Ratzenberg who died the previous day. up to the crash site when he saw the injured pilot, getting punished for it). Senna struggled for the safety of the drivers, tried to lead the off-track meetings and was supported by everyone looking for improvements in the circuits and for their safety. He even risked his life by stopping the car on the runway to save the life of the pilot Erick Comas who was unconscious in his car after an accident. Senna switched off the engine and this attitude saved him because the engine would explode and set the car aflame. Erick gave a statement saying that he regrets that he could not have repaid, he was prevented from doing so, because when Senna was injured, no one stopped the car, they even passed his blood for several laps, although the gravity of the image they saw . You can remember that here was even a celebration, a podium and a victory prize on that day and weekend. The people of Brazil found cowardice and absurd insensitivity. Schumacher is a great yes, an excellent driver and talented, deserves all the records and has my admiration and all, but Senna is incomparable, since he was arguably the best, the most charismatic, the sensitive, the myth, the hero, great magician of the tracks of all time.
Lauda came before him and also changed the sport before Senna. I think Lauda is the best for the way he worked with the mechanics to better the cars and also what he went through with the accident and all, and had the courage to get back in the car and continue to race. Also the stands he made for driver safety and his no bull shit attitude.
I cried. I still miss him while growing up to F1 with Senna as reference. When he died I couldn't find another one like him in F1, I might have to consider that there's no one like him again in the sport. Those were the time of F1 greatest on cars without electronic assists only politic assisted pilots being Senna as the outsider winning the respect by being Virtuoso.
He played a major role helping Honda design & fine tune the original NSX. Rest In Heaven A.S.!! What a treat to see him whomp the Holy Hell Outta that NSX at Suzuka. I always thought Honda/(Acura here to us Yankee’s) shoulda made a Senna NSX and name it after that first left hander in the video, Senna NSX-Type130R or something a lil more catchy and badass !!
An NSX raced at Bathurst 12 hour standard cars, with Wayne Gardener as the main driver, and it was soundly beaten by the Mazda RX7s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_James_Hardie_12_Hour
I’m Brazilian but so I’m bias but SENNA WAS INCREDIBLE! R.I.P. What a lot of people don’t know about SENNA is that in São Paulo Brasil the biggest city in South America he would he in so many car accidents that it was a joke. Not bad car accidents just accidents here and there. But when a Brazilian saw that he was hit by SENNA THEY WENT NUTS. They loved it because SENNA was loved by all of us in Brasil 🇧🇷. That’s a cool story for anyone who loves F1 and SENNA. he would drive so fast in and out of traffic that he would get in many car fender bender

The man is a Legend, there is unlikely to be another the way he took this car to the limit and beyond making it look easy. The Legend will live on for many many many years! ❤️
One word...... godly. Tgats all there need to be said. Through F1, and Senna, my love ofHonda and motorsport flourished.... still repping the brand over 35 year's in!
The acceleration technique is amazing, as he taps the throttle to keep the revs up and the car under control, just as he did when driving an F1 car. Honda NSX mk1 is an absolute handling monster, and a beautifull car even by todays standards👍
At 1:31 he seems to patiently let the grip settle out before upshifting at the exit. High IQ move to me, I would’ve just shifted at the redline and lost time.
Senna e totalmente fora do comum mesmo depois de vários anos após sua morte, ainda consegue fazer novas legiões de fãs, eu só um desses que infelizmente não tive a felicidade de ver ele correr ao vivo aos domingos, mas quando vi a reprise da sua corrida na TV foi um sensação maravilhosa, Senna e o melhor de todos os tempos

The steering should look straighter and feel vague as the essential rotates less than 8 degrees and he distributes the weight easily with his gas and brake. It seems simple in a sense but you can really just how refined these world class legends were!

no traction control, stability control, but with foot and hand control.
WHAT A LEGEND
every karting driver does this
@Ultimo Boss so did every f1 driver and almost every racing driver. Your point is useless
@Ultimo Boss karting is the back bones of motorsport yes you can compare a car to it. Karting has no computers, no assists and all that. Its all on the drover in karting.
@Ultimo Boss You talking about a trolly kart or something wth is wrong with you?
@@jameeboo karting is where everyone's F1 legends career start there.
If I were there and he said "wanna come with me" I would have just disappeared and materialized in the passenger seat in no time.
I owned an NSX for 15 years. It is an AMAZING car. This -R version is a beast. The only problem I had was the stock breaking setup would fade under track use... to the point you step on the brakes and all you get is brake pedal shudder with minimal slowing. Scary moments indeed!
Setsuna Yuki owned one NSX lately. U know what NSX that she own? NSX CONCEPT 2013.
Put some brake ducts to vent the calipers and brake discs
Did you have a quinzeñera made to it? That solved my brakes fading!
The breaking setup breaks? Sounds like it worked then
@@Iukini Lol you caught me I meant braking...
He keeps tapping the throttle to keep it in the range, so when he comes out, he gets the best band for torque. What the modern cars with thousands of electrical gizmos do now, he did all those with his foot. Just shows how great this man was..
Ayrton Senna is the synonym for the word LEGEND
That's why he was so fast. Basically, it's human traction control.
Agreed
@@lz7ification He's able to keep the weight on the front brakes and still have the engine at the right revvs. Awesome.
Alonso and seena have same trade mrak style..they both outperformed machinery..
@@md.shaonprinceshuvo5412 Prost had it, Ferrari 641 was nowhere near the McLaren in 1990 season. Giles Villeneuve put his Ferrari beyond far beyond it was expected. Hamilton in 2012 is a vintage example of putting the McLaren it did not belong. And the Grandmaster Fangio made it a habit to outperform his car. And so did Sir Sterling Moss.
It has always been the trademark of great champions, regardless whether they would be won the championship or not. LeClerc and Gasly have this habit of putting cars in places where it never belonged.
He paid no attention to the cameras or the people around him. Before getting into the car he examined the car quickly but technically. And he drove like he was in a race. No words to describe this video.
It's called being professional.
You just did.😆🤣🤣
He was involved in the development anyway. He drove that car a lot during development.
Senna saw gaps, gaps evwrywhere. And if you don't go for a gap that exists you are no longer a racing driver
I hope that engine is at least warmed up before he floor it...😂
The best driver of all times.
Senna, you will never be forgotten.
RIP
The greatest driver ever.... And a gentleman at the same time.... Drove it like a Boss
Ayrton Senna, the best driver of his generation where F1 was at its best period.
very good comment I really agree and every way shape and form. I always wondered what Ayrton senna's reaction would have been if you would have got to drive the McLaren F1 or maybe he got to drive it I'm sure that Gordon Murray had the concept car in 92 and 3 considering it came out in 94 I believe I'm sure he would probably Drive the piss out of that too
what do you mean 'of his generation'?
Not entirely true....i believe Schumacher and Hakkinen were the best of the best and have represented the epitome of F1 where Ferrari and Mclaren really were top of the game. You can't beat that level of performance. But that is like comparing Michael Jordan with Kobe Bryant. They were both top of the game and they were beasts on the court and mastered their game. So maybe these kinds of comparisons are not relevant or true.
@@PharaoahMonk Well, only after 6 years after Senna died, Schumacher managed to surpass Senna's F1 achievements (not all). So Schumacher was, from a mathematical viewpoint, not the best driver in the late 80s and early 90s. That prize goes to Senna.
@@PharaoahMonk IMO Jim Clark was on another level to everyone, even senna himself said he was his idol as well as Fangio who said he is the greatest Grand Prix driver of all time.
Look at his right foot. In the corners, after the "punta-tacco" he was bumping his feet. That was his technique for "traction control". He had traction control in his feet. What a legend
Heel and toe quando quiser usar punta tacco em ingles.
Wasnt that to keep the turbo spinning? Just asking :)
@@gh0st_dem0lisher well, in F1 it helped for sure, but he did this after thry banned turbos too, and NSX is not turboed anyway. He did this to keep the momentum in general
@@gh0st_dem0lisher yes, old school F1 cars had tons of turbo lag, but Senna did this during his karting days as human traction control
Punta tacco is the right technical word👍
never have I seen a video that has more made me appreciate Senna's god given driving talent, and those shoes are just the cherry on top
As a fan of this incredibly talented man, this is the real way to drive and especially a manual. Ayrton always preferred the manual gear change in cars and felt it needed more skill and as an owner of a manual vehicle myself, I agree. It does take more skill and coordination with clutch and throttle. For the youngsters out there who think they know how to drive, watch this man, he makes us all like learners. I miss him so much. R.I.P Ayrton.
0:22 "You wanna come with me?" he says...and no one took him up on it!!
Surely I'd said YESSS BRING ME WITH YOU, MASTER!!!!

There is only 1 way to heat up the rear tires

But this car doesn't have "track mode".

I've been following F1 since 1973, and I say to all of you: Senna was the best driver of all time! No matter what they say to you, Senna was the best....
I agree. GOAT.
Senna IS the best!! not just was
GOAT
Absolutely No doubt.
Still better than that woke crybaby also known as Louise Fraudmilton

"Akari.. There must be something wrong.."
"What Emiko?"
"Well.. the car seem to have done things that we didn't design it for.."
"Oh.. That data is from Ayrton's drive.."
"Ah.. ok.. makes sense.."
lol hahaha
Epic
He was so confident driving any car and always at full throttle. He was my favourite pilot in F1. The biggest loss to F1 and the racing World. He would have won many more championships I'm sure about it. He will be number 1 forever.
Increíble nunca baja de las 6000 rpm en las curvas,que genio que era,👏👏🇦🇷2022
dude he was not argentinian
I love how the speedometer keeps casually going beyond its limit throughout the lap
JDM speedometers are limited to 180kph - of course the NSX goes way above that...
Bcause it's a fake speedometer 😂. The car is capable to do way more than 180kph
That was just the car getting horny seeing Senna ride her. The car had the best time of her life.
Most JDM cars are electronically limited to 180 kph on public roads like the Skyline GTR's
@@shady801 they are not limited
they just need to put 180 on the limiter because of the gentlemen agreement
As a motorcyclist i never knew car drivers could rev match like that. This man never ceases to amaze me
The old heel toe does the trick.
I'm more concerned how bikers would do it? With such fast high revving engines whats your margin for error?
@@garethbattersby 🤔hmm i don't actually know 😂ig being motorcycle riders danger is rarely on oir minds. But since the throttle is on the right handlebar, the clutch is a lever on the left handle bar and the gear lever is at out feet (left to be exact, and you click it into place with the ball of your foot or toe)
But we rev match very similar, for quite some time going back to at least the 60's. Since a motorcycles powerband is kinda like turbo lag, especially with smaller engines. If for example the powerband is from 10k-15k when coming into a corner we do the same thing as car drivers but basically rev match so that on apex you're smack dab in the powerband, utilising all the power out of the corner. But these days with quickshifters and autoblippers some people don't rev match since the electronics do the work. But now that i think of it, locking up the rear might be a concern for cars which could lead to spinning out. Higher skilled riders lock up the rear while rev matching to back in the bike (slide the rear wheel out to position the bike in the right direction) to reduce leaning. The problem with that is if you're not skilled enough you'll highside. Which is where the bike flings you into the air mid corner.
@@thepsychicpeach8425 Cars usually have bigger brakes at the front so when you lock up,instead of spinning out,you would understeer and the car only wants to go straight
both cars and bike are mean to be rev matched
Rev matching a road ranger is a lot more difficult. You’ve literally got a range of a few hundred rpm to get it done.
His footwork is such an art!
A legendary driver, in a legendary car. Expected nothing less.
The technique at 1:58 to get the absolute best corner exit speed possible is crazy
It does not. Constant throttle jerking switches the balance of the car back & forth, giving lower available grip for cornering. Today he would have no chance with that technique
@@Str8representing Lol That's the point,it's an old car not a modern car That's why he was fast,better than any gringo out there
@@Str8representing lmao🤡
Apart from his mocassins, his driving style, his coolness, his footwork, his jacket and sunglasses... the other thing that I really love in this video its the begining song. Its like a super hero theme for his entrance... very nice!
Ele era sinistro
Real GOAT right here.
Stefan Roser in the RUF CTR Yellowbird did it on the Nurnburgring and the speed was higher and the car wanted to kill him all the time.
Today was 28 years without him.

Look at the feet!! amazing driver ever
@Prison Mike trash
His world famous throttle technique is beautifully illustrated in this video.
@@alexanderfedorovich5107 Yes it is, but he did this even with cars which did not had turbo lag. He kept driving like he did with old F1 cars.
@@The_Touring_Jedi most say he did this to let the revs stay as rigth as possible, wich makes sense, but if you look at one of those charts(idk their name, those that show throttle and braking) you get the conclusion that he was accelerating to the limit of the tyres traction and making his own perfect TCS.
It also effects the weights in front and back. So you can bring the power to the back wheels before they are spinning when accelerating.
A técinica e genialidade do Senna era absurda. O cara além de fazer Punta taco com extrema perfeição consegue manter o giro do carro sempre alto nas frenagens sem deixar o carro derrapar mto e perder a aderência, e qd o carro sai um pouco de traseira ele corrige como se fosse brincadeira de criança. Gênio.
I never get tired of him starting pedal to the metal despite photographers and journalists everywhere… like a BOSS.
It makes me very happy that people from all around the world recognize his greatness. Senna is a hero for many in Brazil, including me. There will never be anyone like him.
Descanse em paz, Chefe. Senna sempre.
Driving brand new NSX with Senna behind the wheel is like

Guy: Well ...then look at the tacho

I am senna fan since 89 , I still watch something about him often
You dont forget people like Ayrton senna very often
Not gonna lie Brazilians, are beast drivers. I always lose in GT7 😂😂 by them. Not saying anything bad.
I’ve seen this video probably 100 times or more and every time I admire his brilliance, and I have tears in my eyes. RIP Ayrton, the best to have ever lived.
I’m impressed every time I watch this again.
Every. Single. Time.
This is insane! He never let it drop below 5.500 rpm!

Ayrton really made love to each set of pedals he touched. What a master of driving!
Incredible throttle control. Seeing that in the same screen as steering wheel and vehicle positioning is one of the most impressive displays of driving I have ever seen. The world was robbed of a total legend.
This little clip is like a fine wine. It just seems to get better and better everytime I enjoy it. Rip mr Senna
"like fine wine" Unoriginal little geek.
Sometimes humans become gods, if only for a few minutes. This was one of those moments.
....and he was even wearing his slippers too , shows what a incredible driver he used to be .
We’re so lucky to have this footage. Aryton was in that era where lots of things got missed and forgotten about purely because we didn’t have a 1000 cameras to record shit. The only way this magic survived the years was through storytelling. That makes sense for legends hundreds of years ago but this was 30/35 years ago.
A tear dropped here... Great Senna, Great.
That furious start is absolute BEAST and his feet technique, just wow
He greatly assisted in the development of the NSX, which was a massive hit for its time.
I just like that he never let V-tech disengage. He kept that needle pinned.
2:27 Senna no machine controru!!
Exactly!
Kontoru ???!!
HAHAHAH
@@kogoroturu it means no traction control
He’s is the pinnacle of a gentleman and a driver combined
there were times he acted like an entitled child in his career; he's only human
I never get bored watching this, I've seen it so many times now... Such a legend and a huge loss.
The most impressive thing is that he's not just good on F 1 driving but also with other cars ! He's technique was and will be unic forever! Senna is still the goat as of today...what a driver..!
He won a special event with regular cars where they had guys like Niki Lauda and Nigel Mansel! And he was just a rookie!!!
When you're an F1 champion, driving a street car is literally slow-motion. You should hear the stories of a running-late Michael Schumacher asking to drive the taxi himself, and proceed to slalom down the highway to the airport.
The reasons, which in my opinion, make Senna the best of all times are several:
Senna was a magician of the clues, everyone knows. And in an era of cars without any technology, archaic monopods, without quality damper, without changes and highly technological aerodynamics like today, he shone and showed techniques of unequaled piloting, in addition to fighting ferociously for its position, to have great claw and determination since came from a country that did not have the power of the greats of Formula 1.
He won races before entering Maclaren with cars that were technically inferior to the leading cars of the season.. And precisely because of his exceptional talent being recognized by the owners of team was called to compose this team next to Prost.
Senna gained space in Maclaren for being appreciated by all not only for his way of guiding but for being extremely thorough in the pits, for studying too much equipment. But he had to share his space with Prost. Scumacher at Ferrari always had a team that worked almost entirely for him, including Barrichello drove too much for the good of the team and favored him in some races.
Senna also ran and won to give joy to his people, so he made it a point to take the Brazilian flag in the car and show it in the victories, show that despite a working people and suffered by governments that did not value the power of its working people , he showed all his countrymen that they believed in life, because through work their dreams were conquered. That is why he ran on that tragic morning in Imola, because he did not want to disappoint so many fans around the world and he took with him not only the flag of Brazil but Austria, to honor Roland Ratzenberg who died the previous day. up to the crash site when he saw the injured pilot, getting punished for it).
Senna struggled for the safety of the drivers, tried to lead the off-track meetings and was supported by everyone looking for improvements in the circuits and for their safety.
He even risked his life by stopping the car on the runway to save the life of the pilot Erick Comas who was unconscious in his car after an accident. Senna switched off the engine and this attitude saved him because the engine would explode and set the car aflame. Erick gave a statement saying that he regrets that he could not have repaid, he was prevented from doing so, because when Senna was injured, no one stopped the car, they even passed his blood for several laps, although the gravity of the image they saw . You can remember that here was even a celebration, a podium and a victory prize on that day and weekend. The people of Brazil found cowardice and absurd insensitivity.
Schumacher is a great yes, an excellent driver and talented, deserves all the records and has my admiration and all, but Senna is incomparable, since he was arguably the best, the most charismatic, the sensitive, the myth, the hero, great magician of the tracks of all time.
Raquel ll great tribute
Lauda came before him and also changed the sport before Senna. I think Lauda is the best for the way he worked with the mechanics to better the cars and also what he went through with the accident and all, and had the courage to get back in the car and continue to race. Also the stands he made for driver safety and his no bull shit attitude.
Great comment
I cried. I still miss him while growing up to F1 with Senna as reference. When he died I couldn't find another one like him in F1, I might have to consider that there's no one like him again in the sport. Those were the time of F1 greatest on cars without electronic assists only politic assisted pilots being Senna as the outsider winning the respect by being Virtuoso.

The acceleration technique is amazing, as he taps the throttle to keep the revs up and the car under control, just as he did when driving an F1 car.
Honda NSX mk1 is an absolute handling monster, and a beautifull car even by todays standards👍
Real cars have 3 pedals! Glorious heel/toe footwork!
At 1:31 he seems to patiently let the grip settle out before upshifting at the exit. High IQ move to me, I would’ve just shifted at the redline and lost time.
