    saying FUCK YEAH balls to them

  • Comment removed

  • @MauricioCaran never in senna's career he had the worst car..he always got one of the best cars on the grid!!and in 1991 mclaren was equal if not better than williams,which had huge reliability problems and made mansell miss the first 3 races of the season plus many other retirements along the season...

    don't get me wrong senna is one of the greatest natural talents in the history of f1...but also is mansell!!!and he won that battle with pure driving skill and racing instinct.

  • @jjhhkkful one million spermatozoons and you was the fastest?

  • @jjhhkkful mansell deserved 1 more championship. that's sure. imagine him and senna in a team. unlike piquet's time. but that would have been epic.

  • @jjhhkkful Actually the Toleman was bad. The Lotus was ok, kinda like an AMG mercedes of today. Capable of third and fourth Driver's and Constructor's Championship finishes but nothing more. He made it sing. Then Mclaren 88 89 90 and 91 was a BOMB, but arguably so was Williams by 1990, more so by 1991. in 1992 and 1993 Senna had a car that was not powerful enough and moreover NOT reliable , whereas the Williams really took off in those two years (1993 especially).

  • @jjhhkkful (continued) 1994 Senna finally was back into a "seemingly" good car, but the ban of electronic aids and the such was a bad thing for Williams, since the car itself was made with driving aids in mind and it took them almost ALL of the 1994 season to tune it up to perfection (leading to 96 and 97 DC for Hill and Villeneuve, and CC in 94 and 95), too bad poor Ayrton was not there to witness the fruits of his labour.

    Its a misunderstanding that Ayrton was ALWAYS in the best car

  • pure driving, real racing.

  • I'm sure that chap in the background says 'Fuck!'

  • @Milenium412 it is the active suspension. The drivers can adjust the ride height.

  • Guys I have a question, why is there like a fire effect under their cars? Are the f1 cars too low back then till it touches the road?

  • @Milenium412 My friend (Who is mad about F1 and Senna), told me they all used to do that back then.

  • And Senna became the champion that year 91, even with a inferior car without eletronics.... In 92 starts the eletronic war, I saw Senna interview in his movie, he was worried because the eletronic was not good to the sport the cars starts to take over the drivers. And thats exactly what happend F1 was starting to lose the spirit of a trully cars race

  • @MCChase

    you fuckin DICKhead! who are you to deside that senna wasn't a legend?

    dead or alive doesn't make a difference, he is the best!

    I'm a mansell fan too because of his style!

    and if you go back to the 80's and 90's why aren't you mentioning 1989?

    what did prost do to senna? and even though i can't appreciate

    Mr. angled big nose, he was a world champion 4-times, so what do you think?

    senna, prost, mansell, schumacher and the others why are they up there

    and we are down here?

  • In today´s F1 racing wheel to wheel gets you in trouble with the stupid stewards who would be unemployed if it wasn´t for F1. /watch?v=IJJXIgnjug0

  • @MCChase Hey kid, do not say this bunch of shit ... will not talk numbers. Do you think Senna's talent can be measured in numbers?? You know nothing about racing. By the way, do you know what Prost made​to Senna at Suzuka in 1989??

    he saw that Senna would overtake him and caused the accident, because if the both leave the race, he would be champion.

    Grow up.

  • @MCChase you think Senna's death is the reason he is so popular? Alot of drivers have died in the past, and alot keep dying in other racing sports and none have had such an impact. If you want to talk about Prost and Mansell being just as Skillful as Senna you are wrong. Senna didn't start off in a good ride like Mclaren, and still managed to win races and beat world champions. Look up senna Monaco 88 and Senna Donnington, also known as greatest lap and Senna Monaco 84.

  • Great race! Senna did what he could but Mansel had the better car!

  • @MCChase - No, no, no. I could ask, what do you know? You were what..... 6 when Senna died*. You were not there to see Senna's races. You only see the highlights in clips like this, I saw every race from before you were born until his death in '94.

    *providing the age in your YT profile is correct.

    I'm not being hostile..... don't call me a dick..... It's a valid argument.

  • mansell = Balls + Moustache + Eyebrows

  • @tinySHINEY1

    I don't think it's fair to base an entire opinion of who is the better drver on 2 overtakes.

    Also, Vettel's career is still only a few seasons old and, as brilliant as he has been since starting in F1, I think it's only right to compare the 2 careers in 5 or 6 years when we have seen Vettel at his peak. However, the way he is going at the moment, he is on course to earn himself a reputation as 1 of the all time greats.

  • @chrismarkbicknell Not really considering he still isn't considered as good as alonso or hamilton despite being a 2x WC. His car is a gimmick and he has not proved his racing abilities apart from 1 race in the wet in 08.

  • Greatest scenes of F1! Sparkles all over the place those 1200hp cars were the best!!!!

  • @bixlix These cars were roughly 600hp. The 1200hp cars were in the turbo era, which finished at the start of 1989. This footage is from 1991.

  • those were the real time of racing

  • não é 91 deve ser entre 92 ou 93

  • senna e o melhor

  • one of the most epic scenes of grand prix racing

  • What is wrong with formula one nowadays?

    As senna would say that was pure driving; no politics, no fear ... Good time that won't come back

  • @lemadera Are you serious??? NO politics? In the late 80s early 90s (the era your talking about) formula one was at its most political. Jean-Marie Balestre and Senna constantly clashed over Balestre being biased towards Prost. Read Senna's book it explains a lot about just how political F1 was at the time

  • @edd55r Ur right it was at the most political era in F1. I don't know what I was thinking, maybe when they're we're driving it was pure skill or something like that...

    Altough one thing is for sure, F1 nowadays is worthless, compared to those times...

  • Where those cars broken?

  • to watch classic f1 races like this for free check out classicgrandprixclub

  • An overtake at the Spanish Grand Prix?????? wow!!!

  • @MegaMrDamo haha, i see what your getting at

  • Where did the formula one lost her beauty?

  • @MrMarquesfagner in 1992 with computer components of Williams.. =(

  • i loved f1 as a lad in the 80's.

    i always preffered mansell over senna,but i would being british

  • flexy wings?

  • when f1 was f1 i agree

  • mansel should have been disqualifiyed for that move .

  • Mansell's Car seems to be Dancing, F1 cars were harder to handle back then...

  • cool, you can see the vortex produced at the end of the rear wing on both cars..

    those were the times

  • AYRTON UNA DE TANTA PARA RECORDARLO,SE FUE DE LAS PISTAS,PERO NO DE LOS RECUERDOS,ES DIFICIL DE OLVIDARLO

  • without DRS and those shit! damn! that was racing!

  • Ayrton Senna & Nigel Mansell, 2 legends of F1. Both Hall of famers but though Nigel Mansell was great, to me Senna was the best of all time. Only matched recently by Michael Schummacher, another great champion, the best of the best!

  • @RealAdvert I dont quite agree, Schumacher is a great driver dont get me wrong, but he is a tactician who wins mostly by knowing all the little rules and regulations or showing behavior unfit to a sportman. People love to point out Senna wasnt a sweetheart who could be ruthless aswell, true he was hungry and worked his ass off for it, Senna to me is always the prime example of how old F1 drivers used to be, riding on the edge and sometimes slightly beyond it with the old 1500 hp beasts.

  • The only interesting thing to ever happen at catalyuna.

  • @Dogman36 that fight between Rossi and Lorenzo was amazing, but yeah in terms of f1.....

  • I remember nearly falling off my chair watching that back in the days when F1 was a lot more exciting.

  • too short video should see more of those overtakes

  • what are those sparks?

    

  • @motorhead1995able before the plank, the titanium skidblock would hit the ground. what a shame we don't see any longer. people used to call it a "shower of sparks" coming out the back of the car.

  • How is that dangerous driving? That's racing my friend.

  • @alzapiedi

    Totally agree. Look at 0:07 second. Nigel is looking Ayrton and his car. He "learns" what he can do. Ayrton knows exactly what is happening and he doesn't need to do violent or smooth correction at all. His helmet, his eye and his brain doesn't follow Nigel'attack but he leaves the space because he's already thinking how to repass Nigel.

    That is PURE racing. :)

  • nowadays they would get penalties for dangerous driving

  • People go on about the likes of Senna,

    Prost etc... and they were great, but they forget, Mansell was one of the the best and most exciting drivers ever in F1.

  • Please...rrsrsrsrrsrs.... Senna is a LEGEND...a MITH....who is Mansell? Prost? Schumaccer?? srrsrrssrrrrs.....

  • @ricklaus dont want to sound harsh, but I think a lot if people see it that way because he died. Yes he was superb, but so was prost, and mansell. same as hendrix, he was considered a good guitarist, after he died he was suddenly a legend, im not saying either senna or hendrix werent brilliant, but dying young and still being at the top, people seem to remember you differently.

    Masnsell is my favourite driver of that era, such unique driving style.

  • Please...rrsrsrsrrsrs.... Senna is a LEGEND...a MITH....who is Mansell? Prost? Schumaccer?? srrsrrssrrrrs........

  • Senna = Balls

    Mansell = Balls + Moustache

  • @BernieFOM Fantastic observation! Love it.

  • @BernieFOM Best comment ever! =D

  • @BernieFOM Best. Comment. EVERRRRR!!! lol

  • @BernieFOM In my opinion greatest comment  about F1on youtube :D

  • @MOOVIEbySEBBI aww thankies!! :)

  • @BernieFOM Ahahahahah, that's fantastic :-D !!!

  • @BernieFOM Disagree...

    Mansell = Best car, best engine

    Senna = Worst car, worst engine

    Thats why Mansell won the battle.

  • Both had muchas grande cojones

  • Nigel and Ayrton what a shit f! become whitout them...

  • i remember watching this live. being able to watch videos that feature this pass is one of the reasons why i love youtube!

  • amazing...

  • Brilliant days of Forumla one, sure Mansell won because he was in the best car but that has always been the case in the modern era. Mansell was a great F1 driver, and definately underrated, probably being British and wearing an unfashionable tash didn't help his cause :)

  • I would say Lewis is probably the driver who currently fits the Mansell mould and would probably have relished racing the post-turbo cars of the late 80's and early 90's.If only he could break the corperate chains,form an actual opinion and develop a personality.

  • @bmwnasher Stupid comment.

  • @alzapiedi he was joking, mate. get a grip

  • @alzapiedi - I call Poe on you.

  • @alzapiedi lol owned

  • @bmwnasher yeap stupid comment LOL

  • @bmwnasher yeah a very stupid comment

  • @bmwnasher

    You're fucking bastard... Senna IS the master... although I think you have no brain, I should explain you something: Senna was 3-times World Champion while Mansell was only 1... Mansell was great too, but Senna was one step ahead everyone else...

  • @AlemaoVP WRONG. Senna hit Prost off the track at Japan like Schumacher did in Jerez 1997 so one title was stolen and doesn't count. Prost was the 5-time champion way before Schumacher.

  • @starlionblue

    How about Prost hitting Senna in 1989!? Same thing... in your way of thinking, '89 champion should not be Prost.. anyway, both were great drivers and I miss those days... that's all

  • @AlemaoVP ,, Suck my balls!

  • @dave00075f1

    You're probably american, so I will not even waste my time reading any piece of shit that you're writing.. you're all fucking idiots... why don't you go McDonald's on the corner and get some Big Mac to stuff your fucking jelly belly and watch some football that is played with the hands?!

  • @AlemaoVP cruel but fair

  • @bmwnasher Go have a drive through penalty yourself

  • Unfortunatly more like superior williams.vs.aging mclaren than mansell.vs.senna, but still the best looking cars and the best drivers ever :))

  • the guys before me are right, this is Barcelona 91, everybody knows that...

    that was one of the famoust overtake in F1 history...

  • Sparks flying. Close racing. Pure speed.

    Sigh. THIS is what F1 should look like. The sports is safer today but...

  • IT WAS IN BARCELONA 1991!!!

  • @ssssroryssss2

    yes he did, nige 1992 champion, hunt died 1993!

    and this wasnt hungary 89 its barcelona 91

  • i had a poster of this pass on my bedroom wall when i was a kid.

  • think it was this overtake that senna called Nigel crazy... Senna always said he let the other driver decide if they crash and wont give up a place ..... he swallowed his words here.. great times for F1 we need this excitment in F1 to return... happy memories and great battles Good post.

  • I was there. I miss the greatest Senna deeply.

  • Historic ^^

  • A great pass. I think it is Nigel's best overtake!!! I loved Senna as well. He had great talent(particularly in the wet, although Nigel and Keke Rosberg were not bad in wet races). Check out Nigel's other great passes(Silverstone 1987, Hungary 1989, Mexico 1990).

  • Absolutely spot on comment!

  • Comment removed

  • Didn't Hunt die in 1993?

  • @McLarenMercedes It was cancer. What a terrible loss. He was the playboy of F1 wayy before Irvine.

  • @ssssroryssss2 What do you mean? Mansell won the Championship in 1992, Hunt died in 1993..

  • @ssssroryssss2

    really?

    I thought Hunt died in 1993.

  • @McLarenMercedes He did

  • Mansell was one of the greatest drivers to sit in an F1.

  • @2S1D3

    I'm Senna's fan and I absolutely agree with you.

  • vai tomar no cú gringos de bosta!!!

  • no 1989 yes 1991 in spain

  • when F1 was F1

  • @catato79

    So true. Fantastic video.

  • @catato79 When drivers had balls!

  • These days will never happen again because there are so many safty rules these days. Back then the sport was alot more dangerus so was more frilling.

  • Drivers were drivers back then.

  • Mansell was one o f the best racers ever , just like Hamilton,they are both racers.Great to watch.i hope Button get's the championship.

  • For me, this has always been one of the most iconic moments of F1. The 2 finest drivers of that era without question. I still believe Mansell was and is hugely underrated by many, they say he only won in 92 because of the car, but boy did he earn the right to have that car, in the 80s he was spectacular but never had the luck.

  • You are absolutely right. Wouldn't it be fantastic to have a couple of drivers like him now in F1. Could you imagine 20 drivers like him! What would happen then. Great comments.

  • @stewux,Senna once said that Mansell was the only driver that is visible at the same time in the left and right rearview mirror.

  • @stewux I hate when people say, "[X racer] only won because of the car". Well the car is a good chunk of the reason why racer's win. Not even the best drivers could do anything with the worst cars. Look at Perry McCarthy. Also, just because someone has a good car doesn't mean they'll do good if they have no talent. Mansell is just very talented and had the right car in 92.

  • No man, you're wrong, that was in 1991's Spanish Gran Prix, Circuit de Catalunya...

    In 1989 Mansell runs for Ferrari.

  • Is 1991 in Spain

  • Senna is God

  • it was '91, that's clearly the fw14 and mansell drove for ferrari in 1989...

  • 1991.

  • Not 89 its 91 season but good passes

  • Say what you want about who was the best but Mansell was the more entertaining.

  • Godoooooooooo!!!! Bravo Nigel

  • they were the 2 drivers i most enjoyed growing up..I have a huge respect for Nigel and what he had to undergo to get to F1 and i have a huge respect / admiration for Senna..Two of the great of all time

  • queste si che erano scintille

  • Mansell had appalling luck - i'm sure that he could have won a couple of more championships otherwise. Very underrated champion - 'Il Leone!' :)

  • xkè le scintille????

  • It was in Spain and it was in 1991, in 1989 Mansell was driving a Ferrari

  • 3 times...x 1...what else to say?...nothing rigth...so,RIP SENNA...

  • dextersno1fan I would have to agree with you on that. So many bitter Senna fans on youtube. Any type of constructive criticism about Senna and they cannot accept it. The name - Malamoozoo especially, is a prime example on here.

  • Partysover is correct. It happened in Barcelona (Montmeló circuit) 1991.

  • Why use "Americanisms" to express yourself? Anyway, Iam actually a bigger Mansell fan than Senna (I was under the podium when Mansell picked up his world championship....you were in nappies right?) Its common knowledge Nigel is a racer not a natural driver so get over it (and get a dictionary while your at it and learn some decent language not swear words). BTW your better suited to bikes not cars as your butt ugly.

  • senna was more faster ... mansel was a good driver ...but no like senna ...

  • so short ... senna is bettler

  • what does bettler mean?

  • agreed look at them all disagreeing with us coz were mansell fans

    i think ayrton gets to much credit coz hes dead but he is a fantastic driver no doubt bout it but mansell was just as gd at time but ayrton is the better driver soz nigel

  • who is the commentator ??

  • the late james hunt

  • THIS IS 1991 SPAIN!

  • I think mansell lost his chance in 1986 when he blew a tyre in Adelaide(Nigel Mansell Blowout)

  • no shit but his fault or goodyears? same today Hamilton is a spectacular driver but hard on the tyres..

  • i think in that specific case, it was goodyears fault because Mansell was going very slow in that race, because he just needed third place (in which he was) to win the championship

  • In that case it was Goodyears

  • Mansell was not a natural talent like Senna but he was a great charger with balls.

  • by the way this is 1991 and spain - barcelona

    oops got that a bit wrong lol

  • O maior piloto de F1 de todos os tempos!!!!!O

    mais habilidoso, superando adversidades q outros pilotos não superariam, o mais carismático, o mundo todo chorou sua morte, incrível seu carisma!!!!!!!!!!

  • Even Hunt got excited there for a minute.

  • lol!!!

    hunt did need sumthng lyk this 2 get excited!!

    i mean the man had biggest balls out there in the f1 scene!!

  • Gp of Spain,Barcelona 1991

  • C'mon guys, Mansell got the balls, Senna didn't. That's why he was the "Overtaker".

    I was there to see him win live, as my first race in F1 live, and it was FAAAAAAAAAAANTASTIC !!! =)

    Thanks for the sruff

  • Senna didn't have balls .LOLOL ,OMG wat a statement.Are u something like 2 years old.

    Senna had more balls than all the F1 drivers balls combined.Which planet do u live in.jezz man.

  • completely wrong.

  • I think that Mansell was the only driver to have the balls and talent to challenge the great Senna, Mansell was a giant of a driver and was way to unlucky, he deserved alot more, at least 2 more world championships.

  • y is this then?

    i thought you only liked to talk facts jeepy?? hmm is this a change in you??

  • What do you mean asgod, did I go wrong somewhere????

  • Mansell was a giant of a driver and was way to unlucky, he deserved alot more, at least 2 more world championships

    i thought you only like to talk facts not what someone could have done and probably deserved to have done

  • WTF??? Where on earth did I say that Mansell was not a good and deserving World Champion? Mansell rates very high in my personal driver's lineup, he was a giant of a driver, I don't understand what you mean ASgod. Copy the message that you didn't like and show it to me in my message box so we can clarify this issue.

  • forget it

    :)
