  • La faccia di prost alla fine è fantastica...

  • 1990

  • l'ho visto decine di volte,e ogni volta e come la prima, la stessa senzazione grandioso- straordinario- magico. Pensate quel maledetto primo maggio, a imola appena l'altoparlante annunciò che Senna andò a sbattere al tamburello,ci fù un applauso del popolo ferrarista. Per sempre Ayrton Giovanni VR

  • sono brasiliano, ringrazio le loro parole egli mi scuso gli errori grammaticale

    Ricardo Leone,

    No Brasil

  • That engine V10 i think what a sound reminds me of when racing was real racing!!!

  • Comment removed

  • yeah, but this video is actually from 1990, not 1991! That's the MP4/5, Honda V10.

  • Hmmm... I stand corrected.

  • Ayrton still lives in our hearts... simply the best...

  • By the way ILIKELEDZEPPELIN,my mate didthe lights forthem at O2.He said Take That were better.!!!and hes a headbanger.Your argument in F1 is to move on.Led Zep take note.Thats why Planty dont want to know.

  • Think you,re outnumbered.mate.Computers can write music too.but its total shite.Nuf said.

  • Actually computers don't write the music, people who use computers do

  • Ayrton Senna = Pelé in Brazil!

  • Agree.Go back to gear sticks.foot clutch.Big tyres.Minimal wings.Motor racing again.Like u say ,miss a gear,guy gets past,u blow the engine.Then we would see who could REALLY drive.

  • Go back to wooden wheels, three speed gear boxes and racing on the sand. then we would see who could REALLY DRIVE. dude shut up it's 2009

  • wow.... is this real :O ?!?!?!

  • A true legend. If the boneheads in F1 want to see more passing, make the drivers go back to shifting the transmission with a stick, not these damned paddle shifters they use now.

    . If you miss a gear, the guy on your ass gets by or you blown the lump.

  • I wonder if these "modern era" F1 pilots remember or know how to drive stick shift tranny's. I can just imagine some of them going like: " Hey, there's 3 pedals down here WTF??!!!" A stick??? What's this for???

  • you know you are talking about the best drivers in the world? are you serious?

  • Rodneystar meet sarcasm..."sarcasm: nice to meet you sir".

  • hit the nail on the head, couldn't agree more slideguy. F1 can be like this again it just needs to go back to basics, surely the proposed budget cap would help or am i way off the mark?

  • 1:00

    "...with your mind power, your determination, your instict and the experience as well, you can fly very high..."

    Simple words, which Senna made real everytime he was racing...

  • Now THAT'S driving!!

  • this is the worst day of my year, every year.

  • May 1st... 15 year anniversary....

  • This is F1 at it's best. Driver talent is the only thing keeping them out of the wall, and thankfully the sport is going back to that era. But we will never see a driver with supreme bravery and control like Ayrton Senna da Silva ever again. This lap at Monaco is my favourite F1 clip. Show me a driver from today who can do what Senna does.

  • o cara é muito bom no que fazia

  • 15 years ago today guys.....

    01 / 05 / 94.

    A truely special talent.

  • i is the best of the best

  • I hope you're referring to the quality of the video than the driver.......

  • He's self criticizing, don't interrupt.

  • How many italian drivers won F1 championship? And please, don't say anyone from 50's...

  • ó a cara de preocupado do Prost!

    hahahaha

  • its easy to criticise todays drivers but, they can only drive what they are given and its still takes extraordinary skill and stamana to race a f1 car for 2hours in heat conditions or wet conditions. I envy them all ... what a great way to live your life! Senna was a man apart from the others in so many ways.

  • saudades ,senna! voce é insubstituivel

  • Top of the Line!!!!!!!

  • Watching this makes me realise how utterly crap & boring modern F1 is. Schumacher, Button, Raikkonen, Hamilton - none of them even come close to this level of car control and skill!

  • For once someone say something original for a change.

    F1 drivers drive what they're given.

    They are the best drivers in the world, thinking that if you put them in an older F1 car they would not be able to drive it because they don't have the car control is just plain silly.

    Modern F1 may be more boring, modern F1 drivers aren't less skillful, in fact there' s more competition today to reach the top than ever.

    That's what makes people even better at what they do.

  • Senna that day was really blessed.

    The state of the art of driving technique.

    He made a masterpiece.

    Best qualifying lap ever.

  • Legends will never die.

  • maybe the tecnology is up but this is the pure driving with standards gears. simple the best

  • Unbelievable. The precision is just staggering.

  • this has been voted the greatest qually lap in history. he was 1.4 seconds quicker than 2nd placed prost. senna said after that he scared himself and he pushed way over the limit and u can see this by the effort and work on the steering wheel awesome driver, he owned this cercuit

  • Greatest racing driver of all time. Genius in his own right.

  • he allready had the fastest lap (with 0.7 s on the nr.2: Prost) and yet he went on to improve even that! And was 1.5 s faster than Prost. Astunning lap!

    And the look on Prost's face when he sees that 1.5 ....Priceless..

  • The look on Alain' face seemed to be saying, "You gotta be fuckin' kidding me."

  • The face of Ron Dennis says it all

    "How did he do it?"

    And the face of Prost have the same look, but from a negative way.

    "This is unbelievable"

    Both were excellent pilots, we miss you Ayrton.

    From Brasil.

  • The master. Simple as that. So aggressive yet smotth at the same time. He is sorely missed. Unlike Schumacher, he respected his competitors and was always a touch of humility about him. We won't see his like again.

  • ayrton wan not human when he was driving!!! Was a God behind the steering!

  • king of run, never schummacher will be best than senna!

    Senna never die!

  • great. But this was 1990 not 1991

  • when you can drive those cars like senna did i'll agree with you

  • Careful of what u say MIster seriously!! Loved by many because he past be4 his time!!! But look at his ability behind the wheel I use 2 think Schmuacher himself was the main man till I indulged in history!!!

  • this has got to be one of the all time great laps????

  • ayrton senna the best of the history !!!!!!

  • When men were men, and F1 drivers were the greatest drivers.

  • Prost' s face expression says it all...

  • Yes...you don't need the times to tell you he was fast...when wasn't he...he was and STILL IS the best....noone like him after his death ;(

    R.I.P.

  • I agree with all....magical....the one-hand driving at 0:35...I had missed that before now....I have for the longest time marvelled at this lap, and his pole-winning lap at Suzuka 1989. I truly believe that no-one, on equal footing with equal machinery, could ever be at a greater level than Ayrton. His passion, commitment and dedication has never been matched......before or after.

  • Magical...

  • 0:35

    1 hand

  • kind of

  • Ayrton took "Mind Management" to another level.

  • A triple world champion making it look easy.

  • Senna at his best

  • THAT  was driving !!!! piss on LH :P

  • Incredible driving,one of the greats.

  • Frightening & Genius!

  • Meu, vai pilotar assim na casa do caralho. Se eu soubesse 1/3 de como se troca a marcha desse jeito eu já estava feliz.

  • At those days, drivers were more passionate about the sport. Senna, Prost, Alesi, Piquet...they all belong to the last generation of drivers who´s done it for the passion. Senna´s way of driving was flawless, inspired by Fangio´s technic, he always searched the over limits of the machine. As a brazilian, I know we have a proud heritage in motorsports, but I must admit: Senna was the greatest of all! Fangio was from another planet, he doesn´t count!

  • this is 89 not 91

  • 90!

  • can't be 90 because ther's a 1 on the car and he did not win 89 championschip

  • The shot of the car in the tunnel is not the same car as the in-car lap - it's edited in for this video (from The Senna biography) as the in-car transmission cut out during the tunnel. In fact the car shown in the tunnel is neither 89 nor 90 but 91. But the in-car video is all 90. Compare the mirror and screen size and shape to 89 Suzuka and 90 Jerez (both available on You Tube).

  • watch?v=NLb46n_pITo

    Its the US TV broadcast of this same lap and afterwards you see that Berger was his team-mate and Prost and Mansell were at Ferari. So it can only be 1990.

  • ok thanks

  • Ayrton is the best F1 driver in history or atleast in the modern era. Shamacher was special no doubt..but I believe many of his Championships were simply due to Ferrari domination..and of course team mates contributions (Rubens letting M.S win at the finish line). Senna was master class a true racing driver..he is a driver truly relies on skill,heart,adrenalin over engineering superiority.

  • I miss him, his character, his driving. If Senna stayed alive, Schumacher would never got what he got today. He would ritered long ago. With whole lot of wrinkles. Cuz Senna is the King of F1

  • Everytime I watch this lap I'm amazed by how bumpy it is. I'm not a Senna fan but I do respect him and it does take some skill to keep a Formula 1 car Straight and true on bumps.

  • Gênios não são questionáveis, gênios não são comparáveis: gênios são apenas reconhecidos! E só!

    Genius are not questionable, genius are not comparable: genius are only recognizable! And that's all!

  • i'm in tears......

  • vrrrrooooom vrrrrrrooommmm vrrroooommmm vrooommm vrrrrrrommmmm SENNA SENNA SENNA SENNA SENNNNNNNNAAAAAAAA

  • he seemed tojust cruised through every corner at highspeed, particularly when you look at how quick he is coming out of the exits.

  • there´s no words for that amazing lap. great sound,great Ayrton. Thanks Senna

  • Holy Shit...the best ever!

  • O melhor !!

  • senna his the best in the world.. the legend..... we never forgot you ayrton

  • Go kill yourself!

  • I hope you are just trolling. if you aren't you are clueless...

  • He owned Monaco - a performance that'll probably never be repeated.

  • Mesmerizing,he truly was the best,i wish he was never killed in 94,oh the racing we have been denied because of that fateful event.My eyes well up with tears of sadness when i think of him!

    Schumacher certainly wouldn't have gotten 7 championships that's for sure!

  • where can i watch this video without senna talking over it. his words are so true and amazing, but i want to hear the engine! :D

  • look at prost at the end

    mouaha0h0ah0a0ha0ha0hah0a0hh0a­h0a0hah0a

    and Dennis laugh...

    SENNA SIMPLY THE LEGEND

  • grande pilota grande uomo!!!cmq nulla a che vedere con la formula 1 di oggi!!zero elettronica tutto guida, macchina e pilota in simbiosi perfetta!tuttora non vedo in f1 un pilota che possa eguagliare ayrton!

  • Mi gran idolo Ayrton!! el mejor de todos los tiempos..

  • Prost "oh ffs"

    :D

  • Amazing to watch. F1 is just so different nowadays. I'm not saying current F1 drivers got it easy, but they just have to fight so much less with their cars. Watching Aryton here, he's over- and understeering all over the place. Simply being able to make the difference much more than current F1 drivers can.

  • couldnt agree more!!! also hes actualy changing a real gear. not pressing a button into the next stage of the game.

    its not a game but you know what i mean, its a car, it should have a gearstick.

  • This is an excellent video of an excellent driver.

  • How I like the last picture. Seeing Prost desapointed. Ayrton had just flied high this day, as always.

    Saudades.

    Tu me manques Ayrton, c'est pas "Alain" qui nous manque, c'est toi !

  • THIS IS RACING!!!!!

    Damm it looke at it. u can`t compare does f1 cars with the one now!! He was soooo goooood

  • That gentlemen- is how you do it.

  • Senna accident was most likely due to a bad weld in the steering column. Ratsenbergers accident was due to a loose nose cone- a mechanic fled the circuit afterwards

  • I am so pleased to se the great man here, thanks a lot, I miss him.

  • I was thinking the other day, to what extent Ayrton's fate was defined by his driving style? I mean he always drove on the edge and due to that he was more prone to accidents than say Prost. (I'm not looking at statistics here, but purely hypothesizing) Could it be just that he ran out luck? Was it his talent that made him so awesome or was it his fearless attitude?

  • It was the fact that sometimes he could go faster than himself. As for the fate, I don't believe that it is predefined.

  • I meant fate as end, his death.. not something predefined.. I'm thinking he exhausted his mathematical chances of survival..

  • His death was a result of a wheel suspension shaft penetrating his helmet. He was very unlucky not have survived that crash. Look at Kubica's in Canada 07, he was lucky. PS to szlaszlo84, you cannot "exhaust mathematical chances".

  • No you are right but when you play with the fire you are bound to get burnt :)

  • Senna was born to be a racing driver. Whenever he drove, he was never scared to die pushing to the limit. It was like he was willing to die just to find out how it felt to break the laws of physics. Really brave man. He spoke about Monaco before he died. He said this is the only track that scared him because he felt his "spirit separate from the body" whenever he pushed to the limit. btw, This is Monaco '90.

  • Great video of the greatest ever. Although this is 1990 by the way.

  • actually this is 89.. in 90 he is held up on pole lap around the swimming pool for a few tenths of a second

  • This is well known as being from 1990 - as in this onboard lap and the speech from Ayrton that is paired with it. And that is Prost in the Ferrari overalls at the end. I have this footage on a video from 1990. It's definitely not '89.

  • i meant 90 not 91 got confused on the numbers :)

  • No it is '90 - this clip is an odd hybrid because it shows the '91 McLaren in the tunnel, and the bit where he gets held up by the other car (on the exit of the swimming pool section) has been chopped and replaced with the shot looking up at him... looking at this lap the skill of Senna was simply untouchable; he was a true racing genius...

  • Personally, i feel F1 has lost a bit of its flair. Before, you could actually see the skill of the driver pushing his car to the limit around the track. But now, it's simply allowing the car, aerodynamics, and electronics do the work for you. But, I still feel that F1 is the best Motorsport in the world.

  • Every time I watch Formula 1 nowadays, I thank GOD I had the chance to see Ayrton Senna sriving, even only through TV. The Best, the Greatest Sportsman Ever.

  • is this where he beat the second time with 1.5 second ?

  • Nuno Cobra was the trainer of Ayrton Senna, mental, physical and physiological. He make Senna a totally focus driver. In Monaco he commit one mistake in 1988, when he was near 54s ahead of Prost and trying to blast him and spun off in swimming pool. The rest in 10 times [the first one with heavy rain] none. He was a master and genius. With Fangio, Clark and Rindt was the only pilots to beat his pole time in one race. Clark, Rindt and Senna make this in Monaco. Fangio in Nurburbring.

  • And did you watch Monaco today? Senna's name was dropped 20 times, 15 years after he last raced there - Schumacher never mentioned (just 1 year after he left - forgotten already!) BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!

    OWNED!

  • But Senna was also the pole position in Monaco 1991.

    He won the grand prix for 6 awesome times... No one will never break his mark.

    I'm proud of being Brazilian 'cause of Senna, the best Brazilian ever known.

    Live forever, Senna, in everyone's mind.

  • Ops, I´m sorry. After research, I admit I was wrong and this video is really from 89. My apologies.

  • No. This video is from 91.

  • simpismente o melhor!!!!

  • Whenever someone says "Formula 1", the first thing that comes to my mind is Senna driving a McLaren-Honda at Monaco. I was only 4 when he died and I didnt start watching F1 till I was 10, but its great to see videos about him so I can learn more about the hero I missed out on.

  • Very very nice words!!!

    I still miss him too....

    and i saw him doing all those things..

    One good thing about being "old"..

  • Was that Ron laughing at the end?

  • i have never seen anything like that. and he changed gears with his hand! amazing.

  • That Alain's face says EVERYTHING: "this can't be for real..."

  • 1:15! the man is precise to say the least!

  • grande ayrton!!!

  • " Recuerdo que corría más y más deprisa en cada vuelta(...) Llegó un momento en que yo era dos segundos más rápido que cualquier otro, incluyendo a mi compañero de equipo, que conducía un coche igual. En aquel momento me di cuenta, que estaba pasando los límites de la consciencia. Mónaco es corto y estrecho, y, entonces, tuve la sensación de que estaba en un túnel, el circuito, para mí, era sólo un túnel. Dentro de los límites físicos del circuito, era como si circulase sobre raíles..."

  • gracias por la traducción

  • @ a swimming pool he's a surgeon

  • incredible

  • ni por un millon de dolare me monto con este hombre en un carro

  • He was the best!!!

    The best pilot and the best engine;honda.

    Ayrton senna+Honda=perfection!!!

  • Go!!! SENNA... Go!!!

    Great lap

    He is a monaco king

  • Ayrton's lap is incredible quick!But what it is said about Prost's face is ridiculous:does anyone believe Alain could fight for the pole with his sucking Ferrari?It was much easier for Ayrton to go for a flying lap with a McLaren (the best car at that moment) but it was impossible for Alain to go for a lying lap with Ferrari, which was more a truck than an F1 car.Impossible to compare pure speed with such a diffence in cars.Ayrton was faster than Alain, but in this case no comparison posible!!!

  • What the fuck you are talking about? They were at the same team... this is from 89, the info of the video is wrong, this footage is actually from 89. Prost went to Ferrari in 90, and in 90 he could battle for pole... just 91 Ferrari wasn't capable of fighting the McLaren and Williams.

  • Stunning.

    The master, doing what he does best.

    Look at Prost's face at 1:27 for proof.

  • Haha, yeah Prost is like "WTF?!?!?!"

  • "the greatest driver who has ever lived in the history of grand prix racing."

  • Going to Monaco 08 in May - Can't wait. Went 2 years ago and it is the absolute best race to witness live.

  • Everytime I see this video. . .I can't believe that's a human being working the wheel, the pedals and the shifter at the same time at such intense speed around a track that is so narrow with no margin of error. . . its precise, calculated no nonsense driving. Something that only Ayrton Senna could do.

  • sem comentários.....

  • Poetry in motion. RIP Senna

  • agreed!

  • genius

  • senna is gonna be always top driver in F1

    just watching this single lap shows his talent, i was reading ppl askin if it was speed up vid,well it is not, thats the fastest lap in that course

  • haha Prost's Face at the End... =)

  • People!

    Look that oversteer at Loew's Hairpin! Simply brilliant! (@35s)

    Did you see something like that in the past 15 years in F1? Of course not... Beacuse of the traction control. I'm looking forward the next season without traction control.

  • It's 1990 not 1991

  • In fact it's 89. He and Prost were team-mates back then, that's why Prost's face is so hilarious, Senna was almost 2 seconds faster than him in the same car...

  • Lmao Prost's Face! Well Senna Always Wanted To Beat Prost And based on this, He Clearly Kicked his Ass.

  • why the music? a fine material wasted

  • Was this lap sped up?

  • No way. . . that's the true, briallant talent of Senna @ Monaco right there

  • stunning lap!

  • Senna fue y seguira siendo el mejor en la formula 1......

  • Viva Senna..down bismark6666 !! his evil remarks are posted it everywhere !.. Senna the best driver the WORLD has ever seen!!

  • Why do you consider Senna like a god or hero? sure he was one of the best drivers ever to race in formula one, but I don't understand the god like or hero status. Everyone racing during his time put themselves in the same amount of risk. Comparing him to Jesus? I don't really know what you guys are thinking. Great racer and talented driver yes, why is he a god though?

  • Senna was no ordinary driver. He did things that were magical, even other pilots struggled to believe a man could do such things. Like Berger once said: "He is in a different place, operating on a totally different level. He is not just one step ahead of the rest of us - he is two steps ahead". And Chris Hilton: "An impossibly talented driver, his talent borders on the mysterious - his other-worldly skills are an enigma - he's not something anybody is going to understand".

  • Nice line you got there . prost's fast was like wtf!!!

  • AlonsoLegend, this is the best comment I ever saw in Youtube, you simply explain his perfection. Unbelievable...

  • If Jesus came to earth as a racing driver, his lap around Monaco would look like this.

  • perfect lap ayrton best driver

  • unbelievable. schumacher would have looked as puzzled as prost did

  • si ayrton était encore la et si il avait l'age de schumacher ayrton pourrait lui donner une bonne leçon

  • Fastest driver in the history of F1 right there. . . even F1 Magazine put him numero uno in their list of 50 fastest drivers of all time. . .

    and the look on Prost's face like, "WTF?!?!?!?"

  • Hahaha, that's the best part of the video, Prost's face, but also check Ron Dennis face, he couldn't believe it, Ayrton the fastest of all time, King of Monaco, King of Formula 1, God bless you Ayrton.
