Am a fan and always be one. If you look at the cars now they are no where near this hard to drive. Im not saying i could do it...lol but you can tell the difference for sure. To many greats and eveyone has their own opinion. Senna,Fangio,Stewart, Clark, Ascari, Ickx take your pick watch any of them....they were all great
Senna was a true champion. His passionship with the f1 was surely one of the greatest. But we can´t compare apples with birnes, J.F. Fangio was a true champion too and ever who could saw him drive agreed! Schumacher was another aera. Tazio Nuvolari was a true champion too.
200 + mph and concrete walls, why didnt that ring any fucking alarm bells, even when i was 8 years old i remember senna smashing into that wall at imola and know that wasnt right
@BRUCEFOREVER1 I completely disagree with you. Senna would have been a 4 times world champion had Prost not taken him out in Suzuka in 1989. Prost by his own admission was a conservative driver preferring to stay 5th if it meant claiming points to succeed. Senna on the other hand gave it his all, all of the time. Prost brilliant -yes. but for me Senna was the best.
@BRUCEFOREVER1 Strongly disagree. Most of the formula 1 fraternity past and present say Senna was the best as do all the respected sports journalists. His death did not 'create' his status it cemented and brought in to focus what was already known, Nearly all Formula 1 drivers say Senna was best. Go against this tide if you want but it is pretty over-whelming and it does not diminish with the passing years . " He was the best driver who ever lived "-- Niki Lauda .
@thehitchrules At that point i am compelled to help me with the traductor, as they do not want to be misunderstood. Step 1: Senna was a greath champion and a greath man, there is no doubt, but as i said in the comments that i removed, was particulary impressed in the collective result of chance also to the fate that as end to his life tragically. And do not tell me he had flaws.., you'd be wrong: Ayrton was a man like everyone else, neither more nor less. It was not the only one to be polite
@thehitchrules with the press, it was less than Hakkinen for example, or the drivers are not always in the back row to the race?. Step 2: Surely he had a magnetic personality and a very special empathy with his fans. Its biggest flaw is that he was a champion and as such, claimed the car better. In '94 (and even before) could go to Ferrari, but preferred to go on the then remaining almost unbeatable Williams screwed, becouse the abolition of the electronics (suspensions etc.) had made the car
@thehitchrules difficult to drive. Michael accepted the challange to go up instead (as world champion!), an automobile glass, which for nearly 20 years had not won a title. He vowed to bring it back to the top within 3-4 years, and at 5° kept his promise. For me these are the true champions, regardless of sympathy. And the story, i say, has proved him right... (THE END).
Is it me or... whenever I watch some onboard video of a current F1 car I like to day dream about being in that cockpit driving that car, but whenever I watch onboard stuff from the 80's early 90's (in particular Senna) I think.. f**k that!! Scares the sh*t out of me!
@kyuzo8913 Go see the film then because the on-board footage played out on the big screen is FANTASTIC. Plus the film is really,really good. Senna was the best there ever was.
this is just unreal driving skill... he got pole ahead of semi-gearboxed cars like Ferraris and Williams while operating that H patterned gear box and having had to do usual heel&toe downshifting and still managed to be this precise and error free...
im pretty sure, after seeing this, even today's top F1 drivers would be speechless.
@oneinamillion232 Today's drivers would think: "What? I have to put one hand off the steeringwheel to change the gears? That's madness!" And: "Oh there is a wall on the track. I could crash there. Too dangerous! Let Tilke castrate the track to make it safer!"
@Saki2407 I think that is why the drivers today revere the drivers of yesteryear because they know they were way more talented and much more gutsy. Senna and drivers of the 80s and early 90s were awesome and now we all realise it when we see what F1 has become.
Best lap ever done by senna in my mind absultly flawless anyway bring bak adelaide melbourne is Fuken Shit its a very easy non passable curict which is shit and if u herd the commentator (only gd thing he said by the way) That this was excepted as the best track of his kind And if any vics want 2 take this up with i fuken waiting
@TheArfdog LOL shitty? this is how an F1 car is, even in today's era. It's just that today's cars have a floating camera within the pod which absorbs the camera movement, hence making the car look as if it's not shaking itself; thus giving the common misperception that driving modern F1 cars are a walk in the park to drive, which, compared to these cars, they are. if you dont believe me, just look at Ayrton's helmet, look how much his head is moving..that's not the shitty camera
@creatyve There is supposed to be no relative movement between the car and the camera. Look at the steering wheel, cowl, mirror, and right wheel, all vibrating in unison, especially at 0:30. That tells you it's the flimsy camera mount at fault. You can't judge helmet movement if the whole camera is shaking.
I say dial the regs back to 1989-1993 with a few tweaks to improve the safety, but give the teams technical freedom, run any engine they want, develop active suspension and active aero, super-sticky tires, allow refuelling if the teams want it. Basically, bring speed, skill, adventure, and innovation back into Formula 1.
they need to return to cameras that shake about to show that modern F1 cars aren't as easy to drive as people (who it must be said, have no idea) say.
@bootysmaka22 that was a great piece on Top Gear but mis informed. If you search on wiki for 'formula one engines' you'll see that the 1988 car that Lewis drove had severely restricted turbo and about 700hp max. This video we are looking at here is from 1991 it seems, which had no turbo, 3.5 liters, again some 700hp. These are by no means cars with 'little downforce', still quite a bit! But driver skills did make a bigger difference then, as Senna often showed!
@bootysmaka22 they put the 1985 Lotus 95T on a rolling road, which went to 1400 bhp, with the turbo on full boost, it went up to the top of the roads range, i.e. it must have been kicking out 1400bhp +.
At this time, the governing body had not put a restriction on the pressure of the turbo, in '88 (the MP4/4 that Hams drives) that had a limited boost of 2.5 bar I believe
f1 is boreing now its not as raw as it used to be its just so pompous track temp wheather checks tryes 50 guys on computers 15 men to change tyres fuel its getting worse than football we will have a driver leaping out of his car soon rolling over injured
f1 drivers just dont have the same amount of skill or balls these days. f1 needs its old cars back so we have something to appreciate the drivers for other than their ability to obey the people who run the race which just ruins everything. adelaide hasnt got anything left anymore other than the clipsal which is shit compared to f1 back in the day, why does melbourne have to ruin everything for us?
@kingjr812 well to be fair to modern F1 drivers, they can only drive with what the FIA tells them they can, it's not like they asked them to get rid of turbochargers or allow the teams to develop more downforce. I agree that a lot aren't as brave / skill full as back then, but I think Hamilton / Alonso / Vettel are seriously skilled drivers by any time periods standards. Remember, Hamilton drove a slippery as hell car last season with insane oversteer, and he seemed to enjoy it.
@lmd141 i do agree with the fact that modern f1 drivers are very skillful drivers, its that f1 these days tends to be more about the image rather than the skill of the sport.
long live ayrton senna. R.I.P. i remember the '93 race here in adelaide. man what an electric day!! we really need adelaide F1 Back. liven the place up more. although it will never be the same without senna...
Airton Senna inexplicable Brazilian talent that will never go back, not to be that formula one make a return to be like before, what I think will not happen, if we are left to enjoy these beautiful pictures of how to fly a high-performance car without the aid of software only in the "arm" as they say here in Brasil
Oh how i would love to see today's F1 nancy boys try their hand at these 1985 - 1991 cars. I wouldn't be surprised if some couldn't get within 5 seconds (per lap) of the times set by the Great drivers of the Golden Era.
Senna, Prost, Mansell - absolute Giants. Even the lesser lights of the era were still massively talented - those cars were raw, rough, wild beasts and needed immense skill to tame. Now they practically drive themselves. F1 died around 92,92 imo.
"the surface looks smooth but it's not it's low grip" Doesn't smooth equal low grip? That's like the sky looks dark but it's not there's no sun at all.
drivers today complain about the shaking they get in monaco... but in those times drivers hadn't a suspension like nowadays... they had to put one hand out of the steering wheel to shift gears!!! and the car shaked much more!
EPIC times! miss it so much...
it's just impossible to compare these completely different eras...
Senna got pole in Adelaide almost every year- 85, 88,89,90,91,93.
In 92- he couldnt quite get pole in a car 2 seconds a lap slower than mansell's supreme Williams but Senna typically refused to accept even an impossible hurdle and damn nearly made it possible - where no-one else would even have bothered to have a go - simply dismissing it as beyond hope - as James Hunt said; "Senna was absolutely fabulous in qualifying - driving out of his skin to try to keep up with a serious car disadvantage"
Amen mate - it was never the same again. There have been some good races since then but there was never the same feeling of anticipation - wondering what more miracles would be conjured up by the Supreme Ace - the Grand Master of them all. Man those days were magic - pure magic!
we really need the adelaide back...actually we need all the old tracks back..bring back the v12s..no rev limit, manual gear box and no aids. then we'll separate the boys from the men.
Adelaide especially I miss.. I tried the simulator at 90% G force(semi-automatic gears) and its brutal! I can just imagine how it was 81 laps on adelaide with manual shifting..and then someone says F1 is not a sport! Come on!!!
@creatyve Yeah but even back then you didn't have to heel and toe and rev match. It was electronic back then too, but the gearshift was on the floor, not the wheel.
i wish that so many things were like they were before..... past is past i wish senna was here too stop complaining of f1 today, you all speak like the drivers of today are studid and have no skills lool go drive an f1 from today or 40 years old what ever, enjoy the sport.
fucking haters
if you were an f1 driver will you like that some one have your atitude?
@butolina youre the one with the fucking attitude buddy, i'm just stating my opinion, it's a common fact that F1 drivers of today need to be more fit than every before, mentally and physically. I also realize the fact that today's F1 is commonly seen as being soft because of the floating camera technology so don't talk like i'm hating on F1. i love F1 racing and did i say that drivers were stupid and had no skills? calm down and read what i actually wrote.
@butolina but if you do look at interviews on today's drivers testing the old cars, they all say they've never had to drive anything that "twitchy" or "difficult" before...it speaks for itself. good day.
@creatyve There isn't a automatic gear box right now , since there's no traction control drivers couldn't drive their cars without manual gear box lolz
@oxidesdemon ?? i know there's no automatic. it's semi-auto right now; just click a rocker switch and youre in next gear. back then you had to KNOW the car, feel it, use your skills to know when to shift or downshift, now they got lights and engine mapping.
@creatyve Agreed, auto racing (and know most people reading probably hate it) Great hip-hop. At least for me, died in 94' P.s. I know manual gear box's etc were for the most part obsolete by 94'
@kallo182 they have semi-auto gearboxes and compared to the cars back then, today's cars are pussy cats. they dont dance around and spark with the intensity that they used too. this is why F1 is losing a lot of fans...its not about the driver anymore; simply the car, sponsors and politics.
Senna 3 times WC in the Best Car, an Minardi, Jordan or Lotus never got a Chance against McLaren, in 1992 Mansell got the Best Car and won WCC, and Senns could not do any think, while everybody knows Senna was better than Mansell...
If Senna would never come to McLaren he would not be 3 times WC.
F1 was mostly about who has the Best Car.
F1 is not Nascar, DTM or V8 Supercar in this Series win the Best Driver, because all Cars the same.
@mowerman437 Yeah, the V10s were class, but seriously /watch?v=aBXUOomynxw after hearing that, you surely can't say v12s were crap. and yes there were a few bad tracks then, but nowadays, they all are..the FIA is ruining all of the tracks by changing trademark corners like Bus Stop in Spa or the straightaways like in Germany.. I bet Paul Ricard or Mexico would be most of the tracks that are being used in this era..

Airton Senna inexplicable Brazilian talent that will never go back, not to be that formula one make a return to be like before, what I think will not happen, if we are left to enjoy these beautiful pictures of how to fly a high-performance car without the aid of software only in the "arm" as they say here in Brasil

F1 used to sort the men from the boys... Today we have 22 years old drivers hailed as "legends...". Hamilton anyone...?

Oh how i would love to see today's F1 nancy boys try their hand at these 1985 - 1991 cars. I wouldn't be surprised if some couldn't get within 5 seconds (per lap) of the times set by the Great drivers of the Golden Era.
Senna, Prost, Mansell - absolute Giants. Even the lesser lights of the era were still massively talented - those cars were raw, rough, wild beasts and needed immense skill to tame. Now they practically drive themselves. F1 died around 92,92 imo.

drivers today complain about the shaking they get in monaco... but in those times drivers hadn't a suspension like nowadays... they had to put one hand out of the steering wheel to shift gears!!! and the car shaked much more!
EPIC times! miss it so much...

his qualifying laps in Adelaide were excellent. he always was very good on that tricky circuit. his laps in 85, 91 and 93 were masterpieces.
sargatanas88 2 years ago
Senna got pole in Adelaide almost every year- 85, 88,89,90,91,93.
In 92- he couldnt quite get pole in a car 2 seconds a lap slower than mansell's supreme Williams but Senna typically refused to accept even an impossible hurdle and damn nearly made it possible - where no-one else would even have bothered to have a go - simply dismissing it as beyond hope - as James Hunt said; "Senna was absolutely fabulous in qualifying - driving out of his skin to try to keep up with a serious car disadvantage"

@creatyve I wouldn't mind paddle-shift gearbox. It doesn't mean the difference between boys and men, just how slow you can shift.
TheArfdog 1 year ago
@TheArfdog true, i just prefer manual because it makes it seem like more of a racecar. you need to know how to heel-toe shift, sync revs etc.
creatyve 1 year ago
@creatyve Yeah but even back then you didn't have to heel and toe and rev match. It was electronic back then too, but the gearshift was on the floor, not the wheel.

fucking haters
if you were an f1 driver will you like that some one have your atitude?
butolina 1 year ago
@butolina youre the one with the fucking attitude buddy, i'm just stating my opinion, it's a common fact that F1 drivers of today need to be more fit than every before, mentally and physically. I also realize the fact that today's F1 is commonly seen as being soft because of the floating camera technology so don't talk like i'm hating on F1. i love F1 racing and did i say that drivers were stupid and had no skills? calm down and read what i actually wrote.
creatyve 1 year ago
@butolina but if you do look at interviews on today's drivers testing the old cars, they all say they've never had to drive anything that "twitchy" or "difficult" before...it speaks for itself. good day.

@oxidesdemon ?? i know there's no automatic. it's semi-auto right now; just click a rocker switch and youre in next gear. back then you had to KNOW the car, feel it, use your skills to know when to shift or downshift, now they got lights and engine mapping.
creatyve 1 year ago
@creatyve Agreed, auto racing (and know most people reading probably hate it) Great hip-hop. At least for me, died in 94' P.s. I know manual gear box's etc were for the most part obsolete by 94'

@kallo182 they have semi-auto gearboxes and compared to the cars back then, today's cars are pussy cats. they dont dance around and spark with the intensity that they used too. this is why F1 is losing a lot of fans...its not about the driver anymore; simply the car, sponsors and politics.

@creatyve
F1 was never "about the Driver"
Senna 3 times WC in the Best Car, an Minardi, Jordan or Lotus never got a Chance against McLaren, in 1992 Mansell got the Best Car and won WCC, and Senns could not do any think, while everybody knows Senna was better than Mansell...
If Senna would never come to McLaren he would not be 3 times WC.
F1 was mostly about who has the Best Car.
F1 is not Nascar, DTM or V8 Supercar in this Series win the Best Driver, because all Cars the same.

@creatyve V12s? They were crap. The V10s were fantastic. The old tracks were too. How about Paul Ricard in France, or Mexico
mowerman437 11 months ago
@mowerman437 Yeah, the V10s were class, but seriously /watch?v=aBXUOomynxw after hearing that, you surely can't say v12s were crap. and yes there were a few bad tracks then, but nowadays, they all are..the FIA is ruining all of the tracks by changing trademark corners like Bus Stop in Spa or the straightaways like in Germany.. I bet Paul Ricard or Mexico would be most of the tracks that are being used in this era..
