First lap at Donington 1993 Senna´s onboard cam

[velenoso68]

Quando rivedrò qualcuno fare le stesse cose, allora, e solo allora, tornerò a seguire la F1.

[Gryphon1984]

Great vid... wish there was just the onboard perspective... its almost like looking with the eyes of a genius.

[freewill51]

Anyone who puts down Senna knows very little. Remember that Senna drove a good car for 4 years out of a 10 year career. He won THREE titles in that 4 year periond. He had bad cars (or tires) in 84,85,86,87,92, and 93. Look at what he did in the bad cars...SET RECORDS! Who else did that? No driver ever.

[thehitchrules]

@freewill51 Absolutely . Also 65 pole positions over ten years. That averages out as 6.5 poles EACH season. Took Schumacher TWELVE years to break that record. Senna still holds the record for the most Monaco wins- 6 victories there, a record that's never been beaten He was truly awesome.

[MrFrosty888]

@rayodetjuana hey champ at monaco gp that year if u remba the race was cut short at the end koz senna was flying mate and senna would of won but prost and the other girls out in front had a cry on radio to red flag race wich is a complituion of a race. if they didnt senna would of had them by the end of the race so if u wont to get all like stefan is a wet god like fuck senna has won more races in wet and done thing s in race car that f1 drivers still talk about. senna was a legend in wet

[MrFrosty888]

lol love how people talk shit senna was a legened in the wet and all th cars had same conditions senna just had more balls if u gave him any other car in field same track conditions senna would win u fools make me lol so hard sad cunts senna was a driver no one can match in wet not even brocky who loved wet wether racing wich both diffrent cars one drives f1 one drives v8 supercar . both had talents no one had in the wet simple as that balls senna could of won in any car that weekend

[SebbyHaughtonf1]

It's like he's driving a game on easy mode...

[CanYurGameTV]

don't forget that McLaren was weak that season. Senna's car had no chance against the chassis of the Williams team. But he still won some races. You can really see where Senna goes full throttle and the others go off the throttle. THIS man was fearless, a hero for his country. Probably, he is now racing against Jim Clark in heaven :)

IMMENSO!

[hoplageis57]

Weather forecast said the rain would stop during the race and most drivers set their cars up for mixed conditions, which wasn't the right choice. Senna had less power than the Williams Renault's drivers and gambled for a full wet setup (heavy rain tires and maximal wings), and that worked out like hell since it started to pour just before the start. Barrichello also gained 8 places making the same choice. But still, what a great great lap from the rain King !

[swistral1]

The greatest of them all! I will not say more, cause there is nothing else to say. Ayrton Senna forever!!!!

[TheMrMouth]

I cant get enough of this extra great God given talent...One and only

Ayrton Senna!!!

[ricardogorgulho]

Where is Schumi?! Schumacher who??? I really do not believe he was not like the senna... But definetly a good driver. Senna, we miss you!

[catato79]

omg!!!! that's a masterpiece!! remember it like yesterday!

[prestoparkmmrc]

How Close was he to hitting Wendlinger! The absolute master!

[mackey12160204]

no sound.

[MrSennagod]

the master at work ,, how it should be done, shitmacher still a cheating bastard .

[lazerpod66]

Right the master in front, the german nowhere......

[joaomarcelolg]

Senna Senna Senna the of all ...

we miss you

[dazzyboy74]

For me that race was perhaps the greatest in history. The only other race to ever come close was the 1957 German Grand Prix where Fangio drove out of his skin to win after setting laps in the closing stages that were about 8 seconds quicker than his qualifying time!!

[TheMazaro]

Yeah, right, so the traction control do it all alone?!?!?!?!! So was not the pilot that win, it was the traction control!?!?!?!!? Come on don't say bullshit...The Williams already had the traction control too, so why did not Prost win????And why are you comparising Senna whit Schumacher??? what's your point here??? By the way, i had never seen Schumacher doing in one lap what Senna did here...

[lilic1]

It's unbelieveable...SENNA the best EVER! He will never be forgotten..thanks for these ggreat moments in the F1.

[lelone22]

schumacher mother fucker at the first corner he was trying to push senna on the gras

fucking cheater

[coldplaywave]

If he had the 1993 Championship,he wouldn't have left McLaren for anything,even though he wanted so badly to compete for Williams since 1992!

[billaggio]

As fas as I remember, he wanted to race for Williams since his very first "taste" of a Formula One car, in 1983 - when he drove a Williams car at Donington Park.

[Conquerer13]

Even if he won in 1993 I'm certain he would have left anyway. It was obviously clear that the Williams was far superior and with Prost retiring in 1993, he definitely would have still taken his seat. McLaren got him his 3 championships but it was always his dream to drive for Williams. He called the FW14/15 the car from another world and offered to drive for the team for free. That's how badly he wanted to, only to be vetoed by Prost in 1993. Once Prost left, there's the open door.

[WeeLittleS]

@Conquerer13 It wasn't his dream to drive for Williams, otherwise he would have done it long before 1994. He just wanted a winning car. Williams did offer him his first F1 test, but didn't offer him a seat. 'probably my biggest mistake' -> F. Williams

[Conquerer13]

Actually, he had a contract lined up with Williams for the 1992 season in late 1991. He knew Williams had the best car by this point and would have replaced Mansell, but Honda irked him to stay on board for 1992 and so he did. He was very smart and knew Williams were the best team for the future but his heart was with Honda. If not for that he could have won every championship till his retirement and likely would never have been killed. Honda really screwed him over in hindsight.

[plcts70]

no SENNA, no party!!!!...no F1..

[yellowbird479]

Legends will never die...And Senna is a Legend.

[pluke63]

among many of Ayrton's masterpieces, 1993 Donington Grand Prix's first lap must be my first pick...

[gregbest90]

master of driving in the rain... nothing stopped the beast that is Senna RIP...

[mandem251]

crushing first lap. he took wendlinger round the OUTSIDE, you can almost see schumacher in the benetton behind going "Fuck Me!" lol !

[geds7]

The best first lap on the entire history of F-1

[connected1914]

well everyone got owned

no comemnets

[Wrathchild612]

That was Formula 1 !!

That was Senna !!

[banaman123]

Incredable....................­.

[DALCOLDARA]

Bellof's car was illegal at monaco 1984.

[mrjinggles]

Senna is the truth. The others drivers achieviments are just numbers.

[telofav]

senna wasn't human

[NewYankee01]

i like that comment. some fucker has rated it bad. wtf

[GTRF1V8]

this is how a champion drives! I'm a more recent F1 fan, but this is when the drivers had phenomenal competition. Imagine battling Prost, Senna, Mansell or Piquet Sr. They are in league A while Schumi is in league A- . Schumi still is phenomenal though

[jgb250878]

A superlative drive from Senna.

[jgb250878]

Senna the Truly and the only one Rain Master, where is Schumi and Prost, nobody remember that kind of drivers. In this race Schumi spun off, Prost 3rd, 1 LAP behind Senna. That's all, Senna 1. The rest, who cares?

[esposo08]

If it wasn't for Jean Marie Ballestre, Senna could have had at least 4 championships...Senna is simply the best

[851corsa]

Bellof died before we could compare him to senna just as Senna died before we could compare him to schumacher.

Bellof's 6.11 lap of the ring is outrageous. You are right to wonder how things would have played out if Bellof had not been killed.

[rayodetijuana]

in 1984 monaco gp, senna start 13 and finished 2 with a toleman, and bellof start 20 and finished 3 with tyrell, stefan bellof take advantage to prost 4.5 seconds, and senna 4 seconds, stefan bellof its the rain god

[billaggio]

Indeed, but Belof was driving a Tyrrel powered by a normally aspirated engine. Tyrrel was one of the slowest cars on he grid, but a way easier to drive than any other car in its time. Tyrrel sweet handling was an advantage on wet conditions.

[MrWLangers]

@billaggio the tyrell was also illegally underweight at the start

[McLarenMercedes]

@billaggio

True, and in Monaco having a normally aspirated engine was a huge advantage since they were ideal on slow and twisty circuits where progressive throttle control is king. In rain too, having a turbo car is tricky to say the least.

Now for the final revelation. The Tyrrell cars of 1984 were underweight throughout the season. Since it was discovered that Tyrrell had used lead bearings to make the cars pass the weight test, they lost ALL their results and points from the '84 season.

[McLarenMercedes]

@billaggio

Short speaking, Bellof sat in an illegal underweight, normally aspirated car in Monaco, whereas the others used turbo cars which were very tricky to handle on dry circuits, let alone in Monaco (witness Rosberg's 1983 win there against much more powerful turbo cars) where the rain was pouring down.

Sure Bellof had talent, but his Monaco performance was hardly "proof".

[billaggio]

@McLarenMercedes Totally agreed! Thx for your nice comments

[kouzouka]

Stefan bellof is not the rain god.. his tyrell was officially under wheight that year and they got pealised for it later

[formulaonebr]

@rayodetijuana Stefan Bellof is Champion of the world how many times??

[ReclusiveDuck]

@formulaonebr In fairness I believe that Bellof did have the potential to be one of the all-time greats, shame he died before his time. It would have been fascinating to see him compete amonngst what was already a golden era in F1

[iskenderzadeh]

SENNA great pilot great mc laren AYRTON forever i miss you AYRTON SENNA MY BROTHER AZERBAYCAN(BAKU)

[rafa281]

@rayodetijuana yeah, except Bellof and his team received a punishment due to irregularities in his car, it was lighter than the regulations allowed back then, thats why he was so quick

[VegetativeHorse]

@rayodetijuana I'll skip the fact that Bellof was driving an atmospheric engine which is easier in the rain. You seem to think that in F1 everybody runs as fast as they can all the time, instead of calculating how fast they NEED to go. Bellof was good but the single fact that at one point of the race, he was half a second faster than Senna means nothing. It's false to assume that if the race went on and Bellof closed the gap, Senna couldn't increase his pace and keep his position.

[rayodetijuana]

stefan bellof was better in the rain , remmeber 1984 monaco

[billaggio]

Rubens Barrichelo has got an even better first lap than Senna , done a real great performance but he is not a great contender in wet conditions overall.

An only race may not be enough argument to a fair comparison...

[bamboootscha]

however, senna made it from 5 to 1.

Rubens made it from 12 to what?

What i want to say is that its by far easier to overtake in the back of the field than in the very front. ;)

[billaggio]

"Rubens made it from 12 to what?"

Answer: Fourth, only behind two extra-terrestrial Williams cars and also behind the man with skills from "outer planet" =]

All that done by a rookie driving a very modest Jordan!

[schinvelox]

@bamboootscha 12 to 4th in the 1st lap

[minosso]

@billaggio to me, was the best race of Barrichello from his carrer. Mediocre Carrier. But, what he made, was the same that senna has made in monaco 83 by tolemann car, and senna, made a amazing history on F1!

[biggetjeknor]

@rayodetijuana

No he was not, at the 84' GP Monaco he had a better car than Senna (Senna rode the Toleman!). What is true however was that Stefan was really the only one who could match senna's pace. Very talented driver and a shame we could not see the legendary battle between Senna and Bellof in the 90's. It simply was not ment to be. RIP to probably the 2 most talented driver's F1 has ever seen.

[ceboluga]

@biggetjeknor They're now battling in heaven circuits.

[MagicAyrtonforever]

Even with no sound.. I can't stop watching this!!

[bulletburposmiley]

Now thats how you do it!

[Calvertfilm]

Senna = Greatest ever F1 driver. Here's the proof. Just look at who he beat whilst he was in a slower car. The rain made any talent show. In Senna it showed alright! This is the greatest F1 lap ever.

[SonicXSTH]

@Calvertfilm: hmm, I wonder why... maybe because of a little wonder called TC...

[d20e]

o maior de todos!

[telofav]

Simply,the best! not the best,yes the BEST EVER.

[Berniebaz]

Single finest racing lap ever driven in a GP car. Maybe Jackie stewart could disagree after his heroics round the ring in '68 but I wasn't born then...

[Tirana20]

Wow Senna nice use of traction control! NOT!

[Gabrielnobre]

in wet it means almost nothing having or not having traction control. In wet, the SKILL counts more... so dont use much of your imagination to lower the value of this incredible performace. Rubens, without traction control and in a Jordan, was in 4th in the same lap (he took even your shumi position).

[billaggio]

Rubens DID have traction control as well active suspension and semi-automatic gearbox- that was in its debut race at Donington.

[bugmenot0]

GENIO!

[AyrsenF1]

Ayrton Senna carajo!!!, the best of all time, el mejor de todos los tiempos.

[claudioasouza]

Schumacher who?

[ragf1]

1996 SPAIN, thats who... schumacher. nuff said lol

[Berniebaz]

That 1996 with reintroduced TC then?

[Berniebaz]

Senna drove round the outside of Schumacher around Craner curve in a slower car. That one corner says all that needs saying.

[benisharmon]

what??you are rubbish, fuckin idiot...

[0unum04]

fantástico como ele "segura" o carro o melhor à chuva e em qualquer sentido

[GirafaEmChamas]

Genius!! Best lap ever in Formula One. Could turn off your tv's and never see a GP again.

[Robertdub2006]

it will be a long time before anyone gets to senna`s standard. greatest of all.

[juvenaldamasceno]

best ever

[kidlooops]

Absolute Genius.

[oledias]

look how he moves his hands, controlling the car! amazing, magic! Thats Ayrton in the rain!

[Dico1970]

VTNC...que Schummi o caralho !!!! Nunca mais , infelizmente !!!

[bluemoondancer]

isn't there any version of this video with sound?

[sinisa62]

Best ever
