Sure, Senna's time in Formula 1 cemented his status as one of the all-time greats. But his rise to Formula 1 was almost beyond comprehension...

As jermey Clarkson said 'Gilles Villeneuve was great on a number of times. Senna was great every single time he got in a car'
Especially when he punted into Prost like a delusional loser
Jermey 😂😂😂
That's was Senna's style, it wasn't a new thing he did, his style of racing is going for a move, and letting the other driver decide whether to have to crash or not, and apparently Prost chose to crash, because he knew the fia ceo would side with him and give him the championship@@MrMustache-yn4zm
Fun fact: the theme that Josh Revell plays at the end of the video, "Tema da Vitória", commissioned by Rede Globo to Brazilian composer Eduardo Souto Neto, was not originally intended for neither Senna nor any brazilian who won a race; it was originally intended for it to be played to anyone who have won a race at Interlagos. So that theme, that became so strongly associated with Ayrton Senna here in Brazil thanks to Rede Globo, the major tv network here in Brazil, was once played for... Alain Prost, who would soon become his biggest rival 🤷♂️
Oh, and more: another occasion where the Tema da Vitória was played was when we won our 4th FIFA world cup (which took place in the same year that Senna died)
How long was it used for? Just curious if Massa also got to have his victories played out with this theme over there or not.
@@zeroelus Technically it could be used until Rede Globo lost the broadcasting rights for Formula 1 back in 2020. But it was played live for the last time in 2009 after Barrichello's last victory in Monza
Oh, another fun fact is that the Tema da Vitória's debut happened when Alain Prost won the 1984 Brazilian GP
I hope that Band tries to get the rights for the song once Drugovich or Rafa Câmara, or any other Brazilian driver, are driving a car that has actual chances of winning in Interlagos... Either that or I just hope they are fine with the idea of getting sued and play it anyway, because I can't stand the fact that the last time I remember it being played was in Interlagos 2008 (I had to take a break after Hungary 2009, so I didn't watch Rubinho's wins in 2009)...
@@Fidel9209 Obrigado!
that ending.....as a Brazilian, i shed a tear there 🥲
Since you are Brazilian, is this how you pronounce his first name..? It sounds so different from how others pronounce it.
@@miker7920
i mean, Josh is trying his best to pronounce as we do here
we pronounce like "ierton" (using english pronouncing rules)
As a Brazilian, I say that your choice for the video's ending was a touch of class! 99% of us get emotional with this song! This song (Victory Theme) was introduced on TV broadcasts of Nelson Piquet's victories but became more popular and attached to Senna's remarkable F1 career.
Galvão e o tema da Vitória. Só podia dar Ayrton…🥹
Achei muito bom também. Deu até arrepio!
Fuck Nelson Piquet. From Formula One champion to cattle's chauffeur
Lake Speed, the man who pipped him in the WKC in 1979, still owns the kart he used to win that title. A guy named Stapleton42 did some videos on here with him and his son Lake Jr. not too long ago, and they showed the kart off. Lake was beaming (well, as much as a humble Mississippian could) the whole time he talked about it. I don't blame him, because unlike myself and a great majority of us, he can say that he beat one of the greatest to ever drive in any form of racing, even if Ayrton wasn't the greatest just yet. And he can take that to his grave.
Mississippian, you mean
The ending song was the icing in the cake. Or even a chef's kiss. Josh, u never lost ur game huh. Splendid!
That ending hit me right in the ol’ pumper. Immediately took me back to my childhood in Brazil watching the races with my dad, poor as hell on a dirt floor in the living room.
How do u live now?
Right in the pumper? You got hit in the ass?
Senna will be known as possibly the greatest single-seater racing driver ever... but remember one thing. In 1978, he lost the World Karting Championship against a 30-year-old from Mississippi.
It's worth saying that Senna never had the best equipment when kart racing. But yes, it was one of his biggest non-achievements, he mentioned that many times.
With one of the coolest names ever, to be fair.
Ah yes, the incredible backstory of Lake Speed, one of the most unusual one-win wonders in NASCAR history. Makes you wonder how he did it.
@@thestarlightalchemist7333 Some people have their thing.
@@thestarlightalchemist7333 kinda makes you wonder if Speed should’ve gone into road racing
As an American and nascar fan, Senna reminds me of Dale Earnhardt. Two incredible drivers and legends in their disciplines with very aggressive style but they were the nicest off track, both taken too soon.
Thats true, dale was amazing! balls of steel... just like senna!
Very true. And Dale respected Senna and was known to watch Formula 1 races when he could. And when he won the race just after Senna passed the first thing he did in victory lane was give condolences to Senna's family.
Yup👏👏
Goddamnit, that ending with F1 commenter Galvão Bueno screaming Senna's name followed by the Victory Theme made me cry... I'm so thankful to have witnessed some of Senna's biggest moments in Formula One as a teenager, and listnening to this song many times a year... I miss him so very much.
Such a historic driver with an excellent video explaining his history, i’m brazilian and this just show us the respect he had and that still Goes on in the history of f1, Josh, that’s an excellent work that you do and thanks a lot to share who and what Ayrton was.
As a Brazilian, I wasn't expecting THAT ending. Thank you, hearing the classic Galvão Bueno call and the Victory Theme made me go back into memory lane. 🥲
I was gonna put that down as well. Big smile and a tear. Ayrton para sempre
Senna sempre meu irmao! que saudade ne! bons tempos.. hoje vivemos em guerra ai no brasil por causa de politicos. que saudade do ayrton!
Talked to my dad a few years ago. Apparently he pit crewed for Fullerton and senna back in his karting days.
Senna inspired many. The fact he is one of the 3 drivers you think of when you think GOATs it shows how brilliant he truly was.
Schumacher, Hamilton, Prost?
Jim Clark deserves a mention too. Only had two championships, but was leagues ahead of his rivals at the time and could’ve won much more had it not been for his fatal crash at Hockenheim.
@@josephchao7078 Nice try, but it has to be Senna, Schumacher, and Clark or Fangio (whoever you prefer).
@@thisusernamewasnttakensomehow would have won more
I really only think of 2. Schumi and Senna. Hamilton doesn‘t even come close imo.
Just to be clear, Senna's family was pretty well off to begin with, he's still the best driver of all time.
Yeah else you wont get into r1 right
I mean, they definitely wasnt poor, but also definitely wasnt that rich like NA or Europe pay drivers
Ayrton Senna most certainly had the greatest junior career of all time, I mean come on he won every single junior championship he competed in, of course as we all know the rest is history R.I.P Ayrton 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷💚💛💙
The true GOAT in my eyes. as someone who saw him race, there was something about him, no other driver has
Encouraging all Senna admirers to pick up a copy of The Life of Senna by Tom Rubython. It details everything in his life, from pedaling faster than other kids at a young age, to competing (and very nearly winning!) his inaugural kart race, to his "James Bond Years" at McLaren from 1990-1992, all the way to his enduring legacy that he left on the sport, which he loved so much.
Valeu, Senna!
Another great video from you, and putting the victory theme that we used to have when Senna, Rubens and Massa used to win at the end gave me goosebumps.
I saw him in formula Ford 2000. He was absolutely outstanding.
He is my favourite driver... I remember seeing his statue at the first race I saw in 98 Imola... I asked my dad who he was... My dad's eyes gleamed with pride when he described Ayrton and his driving style... I watched his documentary the first time I got my smartphone and now I am waiting for someone to invent a time machine to stop that race... If it ends in a nuclear war, so be it... Atleast I can watch Senna drive till the year 2004 in an alternate reality... 🥺🥺🥺🥺
As someone who has watched the Senna documentary plenty of times, this a great prequel to it
The song at the end brought tears to my eyes, thank you so much for that
This man was the OG GOAT of F1!!!
He will be forever remembered as the crown jewel of motorsport!!!
I guess Fangio and Clark wasn't considered such before Senna?
@@lorddrac_dontaskmetodance Of course they were, they still are, along with Senna and Schumacher.
I thought we learned there was no “one goat” or “OG goat” there was a great in every era.
Dude wasn't even the GOAT of his era--that honor goes to Prost. He's only the GOAT for Brazilians and people who liked his over-sensationalized movie.
He went 50/50 with prost in Equal machinery and lost out of overall points gained over the 2 years.
I love how this video ended on a very good high note, celebrating Senna's excellence
Love the graphic drawings bro! Keep it up 🔥
Seeing his statue in Imola this summer and all the flags that were up on the fence near the statue was something else. That hit diffirent.
Was there last year, and had to call my father, who grew up with Senna being his biggest hero. Such a place
@@andreluizbutzkedallacorte5242 yeah i was there with friends who knew nothing about him or f1 and they took their time with me to visit the place, we were roadtripping through Bologna and other nearby places.
@@saqtef Any comments from your friends who knew nothing about him or F1? What were their impressions?
@@samy29987 When I told them about the 3 million people who came to this funeral in Brazil they were speechless, I told them that he was a huge celebrity in Brazil.
HOLY SHIT DUDE I wasnt prepared to cry today, that music is how to make any brasilian emotional 101
The picture where senna came 5th in that formula ford race, the guy who came 2nd rick morris still races in formula ford to this day at i think mid 70s
Never again will we see this level of pure talent… 😢
Being both a New Zealander, and a huge Ayrton Senna fan this was a blast to watch!
thanks Josh!
Josh, I'm pretty sure you've earned the total subscription of A LOT of Brazilians after this. Really. Thank you. Thank you for making such an amazing video about one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time.
The production in this video is Phenomenal.
As a Brazilian, THANK YOU! loved your video, a great view into the Pre-F1 career of this genius, something I never saw before, even laughed at the "Harry" nickname, had no idea! anyway, thank you very much for the amazing video!
I’m so frickin exited for this one. RIP Ayrton, ur my idol
It was such a hearwarming feeling when, by the end of the video, you used a clip with the brasilian narration from Galvão Bueno. Basically every brasilian fan knows that voice, a true passionated narrator and Senna's personal friend. And about the video... High quality as ever, josh. Congrats
I LOVE these legendary feeder series journey to F1 stories!
0:54 the guy that beat him was NASCAR race winner Lake Speed
Senna will always be my favourite racer no matter who people say is better, has more wins, more races, etc.....because that kind of talent is legendary and that is what Senna will always be to me
A LEGEND
As a Brazilian i know Senna was a beast, good to know that his legacy lives on and the whole world still remembers him, great vid Josh. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🔥🔥🔥
Hey, I used to work in Eaton when I went to University in Norwich! I had no idea Senna had lived there.
14:33 2021 Monza but a shit ton of years earlier. I saw this scenario a few months ago and it immedietly reminded me of the 2021 Monza incident.
Putting "Tema da Vitória" at the end gave me chills, brought me back to my childhood watching F1 with my grandpa. Thanks bro
my dad showed me videos of his races and highlights when I was younger. He was partly if not mostly the reason I fell in love with racing
Already want a part 2
My uncle had a cool story about senna. He was testing f3000 once and he was adamant that the car wouldn’t go faster, and the team manager brought in senna and in his first lap in a car that didn’t even fit him he went 0.3 faster
Jesus that music still give me chills.
Truly a beautiful video
dude made me have goosbumps within a minute
That ending call really got me.
The ending with the Victory Theme (the song on the background) just broke every brazilian hearts in million pieces. AYRTON SENNA DO BRASIL
You absolute legend, you used the Victory Theme from Rede Globo in the end there.
thank you for that ending!
The best driver that I have seen in 46 years of watching racing. May 1994 was the worst month for our motorsport
My dad is such a huge senna fan I'll show him this video
Harry was such an incredible driver some may even call him a Wizard
My all time favorite F1 driver to this day and forever!
When I raced formula ford I had the same mechanic as Ayrton had in FF and FF2000. Sounds about right that he got a nick name from him... Great guy with many great Senna stories
When I hear/watch things about Senna's early career I still think of Tommy Byrne. (Money V no money).
same here
Josh slaying brazilians by putting Senna's theme on end was cruelty
That song brings back so many memories
The dreamer part of me wanted to be a racing driver, but the poor part of me just said "haha car go vroom, too expensive"
The race where he won without brakes has a few inaccuracies. He actually fell to third place. And he used downshift braking. He never adjusted the roll bar, the "go kart driving" was due to the back wheels locking when downshifting causing the car to drift. Everyone knew he had problems during the race, but nobody believed he had no brakes until they checked the brakes and they were cold and the brake pedals were soft.
He went off the track at the end of the first lap where the debris from the crash were, but maintained the lead since he already had a good lead, but he went off the track again on the next turn almost crashing since he had no brakes. That's when he realized he had no brakes. He went back to the track still ahead, but on a long straight with the other cars with more momentum, so 2 cars overtook him. He thought his race was over, but realized he could downshift brake on the 3 critical curves and the rest of the track he didn't need to brake, so he would catch up with the other drivers on most of the track and only loose time on those 3 curves. He would stay farther back of the cars to not risk crashing into them if they brake early, but risked getting closer to overtake Spencer, the second place driver, on a chicane. On the next lap he was able to come out of the curve into the long straight right behind Kenny, the first place driver, so he was able to draft him and overtake on the straight then changed the racing line to close the inside on the curve since he had to "brake" earlier.
Also, he was driving on average 0.3s to 0.4s slower than the lap record with no brakes.
After the race, they had to do a thorough check on the transmission to check for damage because of all the downshifting braking he did.
All this is from the letter he sent to his manager telling this story. www.ayrtonsenna.com.br/en/piloto/formula-ford/temporada-1982/vitoria-sem-freios/
Please never stop making videos Josh. You have some of the best racing content out there
This is the best documentary I have watched that covers Senna's pre F1 career, with actual footage and not just photos. Not to mention your excellent humor. Thankyou.
Great video thanks for that. Ive watched and read a lot of stuff on Ayrton but that was a distinctly unique take on him. Even a couple of things i dont remember hearing before such as the 'i was braking later with no brakes' comment (lol) or Eddie Jordons champagne cover - only eddie! Excellent. But at the end of the day Ayrton is a legend and its always nice seeing programs on him giving him the respect and reverence he deserves
"A problem that plagues all drivers...."
*mid-roll advert*
"Money"
I see watchu did there
The fact his mechanics called him harry his hysterical.
Oh finally someone who pronounce Ayrton's name correctly
This was a great video, it almost felt like I was watching a movie, the end gave me chills as well :)
I often find myself comparing Dale Earnhardt Senior and Ayrton Senna. Based on the 9 square Dungeons and Dragons Alignment Chart, they were both Chaotic Evil drivers, but because of their prominence that made them so intimidating, it made them both the faces of their sport
ayrton senna is more comparable to kobe bryant imo, great player/driver that has been regarded as the goat even though there are better options, a lot loved them after their careers ended and influenced many within in their own sport e.g., lewis hamilton and devin booker but only a handful know they did something dodgy - senna dating a 15 year old and kobe doing something very unacceptable in a colorado hotel room in 2003
@Nigel Gearsley Stan Account to be honest, I don't know enough about basketball to make a judgement on him. However, what I will say is that the reason I used Dale Earnhardt is because of the things they did to get their way on track. Dale Earnhardt was nicknamed "The Intimidator," if he filled the rear view mirrors of the car ahead, he would either make a clean pass or just punt them out of the way.
In many ways, Senna was similar. 1989 Japanese Grand Prix, the Casino Triangle. Firstly, against Alain Prost. Senna positions his car to dive bomb his arch rival, but Prost (rightly or wrongly) sees it coming and turns in early, knowing that in the event of them both retiring, he'd come out on top in the championship, and they collided. Shortly afterwards, same corner, same race, Senna, having pitted for a new nose, hunted down new race leader, Alessandro Nannini. As the race drew to a close, Senna dived inside Nannini at the same place he collided with Prost. However this time, Nannini, just wanting to finish the race, locked his brakes upon seeing Senna suddenly in his rear view mirrors and opened the door for Senna to overtake.
Let's use an example for Dale Earnhardt. 1993 Coca Cola 600, he found himself back in the pack due to a pit penalty. He needed a Caution to get into contention. What does he do then? He decides to take matters into his own hands, causing a Caution himself by spinning out the car he was racing, of Greg Sachs. NASCAR, less than impressed at this, held him in the pits for a lap as a punishment. This didn't deter Earnhardt who out of tenacity and spite ended up overcoming this without any more Cautions to help him and he went on to win the race anyway.
What I'm trying to say is that like Senna, Earnhardt used his driving to either win fans or enemies. They would both keep their rivals guessing about what they'd do to get past. Will they race them clean, or will they use dirty tactics?
@@SiVlog1989 wow TIL.....nice detailed summary there.
thanks
@@nigelgearsleystanaccount66bh the legal age of consent in Brazil is 14 so it’s not illegal but it still feels a tad weird I remember being absolutely flabbergasted hearing abt it
@@cay7809 legal doesn't equal moral
Great video about the best driver of all time. And the song at the end is the victory theme and this song was more linked to Senna's victories.
do you know one of the guys who pipped him for the WKC?
some guy with a really fun name and only one nascar cup win
Lake Speed.
My grandad loves senna
He has a framed photo of him with his autograph in his computer room.
I asked about why he rates senna so high.
He told me “senna was the type of driver who would sit there until the last minutes of qualifying (used to be a hour long) and would just show everyone how it was done”
“He was so fast, so good, he just knew what to do so much better than anyone else”
using Galvão Bueno's narration and our Victory Theme at the and was golden, thank you so much
The greatest!
Senna = 🐐
I can finally eat now that I have a good video to watch
Simply the best
We love ayton senna
Beautiful work, Revell. Thanks for this video.
This was top tier quality production. Learnt a lot watching this, and I have to say your style of commentary is very entertaining and makes it easy to listen to.
Man, thank you for covering the early part of his career, and not lamenting over the end of it. I learned quite a bit. Loved this video
Wonderful video man you're the king of F1 RUclips
This video being uploaded mere hours after Binotto’s departure can only mean one thing: Ferrari must be planning to raise Senna from the dead to lead the team, as per the great Ferrari Master🅱️lan. Amazing ironic uploading from Josh once again.
This could be their most sensible strategy yet
Senna was incredible
"Tema da Vitória" at the end really caught me off guard there
The Cool Runnings joke was perfect.
Congratulations on the extremely accurate and well informed script. As well as the Varig plane and the Tema da Vitória at the end make every Brazilian watching very happy! Keep up the awesome work ✌🏽
This Senna guy sounds like a good driver
Magic Senna.
Fantastic video Josh. You're becoming quite the racing historian! Please PLEASE, more content like this. I don't think I speak only for myself when I say we love the retelling of racing history by someone not in an ascot and sport coat mumbling into the most expensive tea cup imaginable or something.
Love your content,
Thank you for your time.
The ending of the video is for sure one of my sweetest childhood memories. The song, the voice, the chequered flag and, obviously Ayrton.
I got tears in my eyes…. Thank you for Thai amazing Video ❤
Mate, can't believe you've put the Victory Theme and that narration in the end...thank god I stayed until the end...absolute legend!
Hearing Galvão scream "AYRTON, AYRTON, AYRTON SENNA DO BRASIL" literally gave me chills, and I wasn't even born until after Senna's death. That's just how much he is ingrained into brazilian racing (and sporting in general) culture.
You are the first non-brazillian guy that pronounced "Ayrton Senna" correctly, congratulations!
'Airton Senner' 🇬🇧
That ending...
Chills...
Thanks from Brazil.
Great to see his great Mondello Park victory shown at 6:45 ….it’s still talked about, over here in Ireland, to this day
