@djsimmy I'm not sure if it was his steering column that snapped, i thought the car bottomed out slightly causing the car to step out slightly. He corrected it too quickly causing the car to snap to the right. I may be wrong but i've seen different footage that said that his quick reflexes actually made it worse, that he shouldn't have opposite locked. There's prob 20 different opinions of what happened from different officials i'm sure.
Senna had a mclaren maybe the mclaren lie better on this wet part on the track. can be many reasons why senna lostn' t the control of the car. its not the best example but its another good propaganda by some blind senna fans
@maurizio864 You´re wrong.Senna showed his talent with Toleman and Lotus. In 1984, Senna almost won a Monaco GP with Toleman. When he tried to get pass Niky Lauda, the GP's comissioner stoped the race cus of the rain. Besides, his fisrt victory happened in Portugal in 1985 under of what? (rain).
In 1993, Mclaren Ford had a bad car and he won Brazil's GP 1993 and Donnington Park under of what again? (rain).
The video clearly shows why Senna is so bright. When Senna just passed, he keeps the two left tires on the dry track. The other two pilots have put four tires on the wet.
THE MOST COMPLETE PILOT WHO ALREADY EXISTED! THE GREAT ONE IS IN THE DOMAIN OF THE MACHINE, SOMETHING THAT TODAY THE COMPUTER AND THE ENGINE MAKE. THE TIME OF IT WAS MOST DIFFICULT.
In the Belgian GP 1992.... Senna spun two times. A young rookie outraced him , outraced Berger,Alesi and finished second behind the great N.Mansell.That guy was named Michael Schumacher in his first fullseason ! ;)
to be fair senna at least got one wheel one dry part of track, unlike alesi and nannini, its not senna control that was amazing it was his understanding of track condition
@goklien365 the situation u describe is even worse to drive, cause the difference of grip makes it hard to control the car. For example: 4 whells on wet makes the tyre grip in the same way at the whole car, so in this situation the car works in just one way and u can predict some moves. With 3 on wet and 1 on dry, makes that wheel on the dry grip more than the other 3 at the asphalt, making the car works in a bizarre way, changing the balance between the axle. sry about poor english
@rastamees well that shows something else about senna doesnt it. Even when going at almost 200 miles/hour he had the intellect to know that he had to overtake while somehow not going on to the wet, and he then cleverly did that by squeezing the car he overtook to the max in order to get a bit of the dry line...
great exemple of his ultimate geniality of to know the limit that the car could go inside the wet, still keeping the grip. That mclaren was the continuation of his anatomy
@shrapnelV Yeah, but notice in the very beginning of the video how Senna kinda "forced" the left of his McLaren into the groove (the dry line). That allowed him to get some grip back, therefore, he was able to keep moving. It'd have looked like some kind of "desperate move", if not by which F1 drivers' generation he belongs to.
Unfortunately, both Naninni and Alesi did not have the same perception (both hit the bump on the wet side and lost control).
tem ruins tentando ser medianos tem medianos tentando ser bons tem bons tentando ser exelentes e tem exelentes tentando ser SENNA! se voce concorda passe isso para 2 videos do Ayrton senna. translation: the worse try to be regular. the regular tries to be good the good one tries to be perfect the perfect dude tries to be senna! if u agree copy and paste into 2 senna related vids
actually, if you see they both start off in the same position going into wet, difference is Senna steered into the slide so he ended up more on the dry side.
Senna was phenomenol w. slicks in mixed conditions always. Tricky but in full control passing to the dry line as calculated unlike Nannini. f1 former champ James Hunt's inside commentary combined w. Murry Walker's histrionics and 'Murryisms' were simply the best!
Unlike the 2 drivers, Senna was more skillful to let the dry part of the track catch his rear tire and have grip to counter his car from turning sideways. That skill is a sample of what sets him apart the real reignmeister...
Car control? Ah that`s nothing when compared to Gilles Villeneuve's car control in 1979 Dutch GP when driving back on more or less 2 wheels to his pits after the left rear deflated! haha -daz in oz
To everyone who replied to my original comments thanks. i looked over the video again many times relating to each of your opinions. i think this video comes down to the position of the driver in front of senna. senna was carrying enough speed and had enough dry track to make his overtake stick. the circumstances were probably different for alesi and nanni (regarding the driver they were overtaking). ultimately senna made the better decision and showed why he was the better driver... cheers
Senna kept 2 wheels on the dry, but that was not casual, as Alesi and Nannini did leave too much space between them and the car they overtook, Senna got closer because he knew there was a danger.
Senna tried to keep 2 wheels on the dry line as he passed the backmarker, when his car twiched, he made the backmarker give way and saved the corner. Nannini and Alesi put all four wheels in the wet, it was their choice. Look at the wide dry line that narrows to a single line, Senna used that knowledge, the same dry lines were there for Nannini and Alesi. That said, I missed Nannini when the helicopter crashed, I think he had much more great stuff to offer F1, he even gave Senna some good runs!
@gerry6420 Actually, 2 wheels on the dry / 2 on the wet is even more difficult to control under braking than all 4 of the wet. Ever put 2 wheels onto a gravel shoulder at highway speed and try to slow down using the brakes? A normal human would spin.
@tor378a im sorry but why would you be driving on the gravel. how dose that hold up? was senna driving on gravel. senna kept 2 wheels on the dry line. buy keepin 2 wheels in the dry alowed him to retain control of the car. it if you watch close, when his tail end steps out he hits a dryer patch under the bridge and it helps pull the car back in to line for him. if he had went as far out as alesi and nannini and put 4 wheels on the wet he would have spun like them.
Having tyres on the wet and on the dry would I imagine be very scary as it would tend to make the car want to twist as the tyre on the dry would suddenly grip more while the ones on the wet would be slipping.
true, but when you break with one side of the car on the wet and the other on the dry you get different break forces between both sides of the car and the car will spin faster as when you break only on the wet. So you have to say that Senna was two times smarter then Alesi and Nannini.
@mickfromkerry no disrespect to all of you that agreed to his post(mickfromkerry), but all of you didn't paid attention well, because his ability was exatly quickly get out of the wet part of the road in high speed !!!!!!!! pay attention again!!!!!
@mickfromkerry Senna started to brake with all 4 wheels on the wet part, but he braked later, and managed to get in front off the guy, and held the car
@mickfromkerry For me it's exactly the same spot. You can even see the spray of water coming out from ALL of Senna's rear.
The difference between Senna, Nannini and Alesi, is that Senna brakes harder, overtakes faster and comes out of the wet, while the latter two lost control of the car and remain in the wet part.
@mickfromkerry True, but they put themselves in that position. Senna was right beside the car he was overtaking whereas they had nearly an entire car's width between them.
@mickfromkerry there was no need to put all four wheels on the wet, t hat was more example of how amazing he is, running that bit closer to the other man
@mickfromkerry thank you very much, great point! I've watched this footage many times and never spotted it. He was a truly great driver, but he never managed to change the laws of physics..
@mickfromkerry Think of the difference between the four tire's traction. The two on the tarmac has more traction, and the other two on the wet has less. So basically you have uneven tire traction which will make the car unpredictable.
@mickfromkerry that´s why He haven´t crashed, and thats why he was the best. two tires on the right spot, instead of 4 in the wrong place. :D cheers from Brazil!
@mickfromkerry But that's the genius of it; Senna knew where the grip was. There was this one situation where Senna tried to pass someone in a puddle (you can't tell in an F1 car how deep the puddles are, so it is very risky). Someone later tried it and aquaplaned and went off. When asked, Senna said he knew he couldn't have made the pass later that day because the puddle was deeper. Senna had a sixth sense for grip.
I LOVE Senna but if you look closely his left hand tyres were both on the dry prior to losing control & regaining it. With the other driver it was a different story, all 4 tired were on the wet, the car was way off to the left (inner line) priority to losing control. this evaluation isn't really precise. However, Senna probably would have had it under control if he REALLY was on the EXACT same line as the other driver.
Starting to appreciate how AWESOME Senna really is. Some of the F1 drivers today can't handle their cars with half the power, twice the downforce, and twice the technology....
damn like 1300 hp, car weighs as much as my keyboard, friction coefficient of a hockey puck on ice, and a cockpit that u can prolly punch through, and this guy throws it around a track like he's untouchable. truly otherwordly smarts/skills and bravery. he is the model professional and human being. ive shown this clip to ppl who have never heard of him, and they are immediately enthralled with his abilities, and his personality. we are missing a truly remarkable human being. RIP.
@MickySee1 u sure, probably u never saw senna in action, he was awesome, his car obey like a little dog to him, hamilton has a lot to learn to become an awesome driver, he is really good, but he is far from senna, prost, lauda and other great racers.
That kind of reaction, that kind of control, on a wet track, off line and running on slick tyres, yet he made it look so effortless ...... simply brilliant.
different cars would be more forgiving when they hit a damp patch. Sure senna was quick to react but Nannis car swopped ends very quick any one who's raced will tell you its the luck of the draw.
@ChannelSenna That not what I'm arguing. In THIS particular situation, this part of the race, Prost was leading. After that if it rained like cats and dogs and Senna won it, good for him. They were both extraordinary drivers, but not with the same skills. If you would put both skills together, than you would have the perfect driver ever. Please leave the "retarded" part out of this conversation, I'm good with nasty words too if you care.
@emisintra Well it's just not is it? Prost was running quite comfortably round the dry racing line. Senna produced a damn near impossible over take on the wet part of the track on slick tyres. examples like this, Donington 93, Monaco 92, Suzuka 88, Monaco 84, Brazil 91, 6 wins at Monaco, record for most pole positions all add up to confirm Senna's rightful place as the greatest of all time.
Well, judging by the title, what I think he was trying to do was. Show an example of Ayrton Senna's car control. But maybe that's just me stating the obvious.
Why did he go to Williams of ALL teams. If I had a time machine....... You'd think Frank Williams would have sympathy for people who crash and make sure his cars were safer. That documentary brought up a lot of old feelings. Great film.
Senna was reckless here passing in those conditions. The car he was passing backed off fearing Senna would crash into him, but Senna was able to get traction back. He was lucky, this time. He took a lot more risks than other drivers.
@AccordGTR Lucky? Lucky how? Senna was one of the most meticulous drivers in the history of F1. he left nothing to chance when setting the car up, ensuring his position in the team, qualifying and most of all when overtaking. The simple fact is this. Ayrton Senna was an F1 genius. We can debate who was the gretest driver of all time but, every F1 I know all agree on 1 thing. Senna was the best wet weather driver of them all.
@chrismarkbicknell Luck is always a factor in ANY competitive sport because there are many things you do not control or have knowledge of. I don't disagree Senna was one of the best if not the best but still, luck is always part of the game. If there was no luck involved, then what do you say for the times that he did crash or lose? Because Senna said he was always going for the win. So meaning if he lost, how do you explain that? He was having a bad day?
Funny - this is the exact clip - including the commentary - from the new Senna documentary. Senna was smart (and good) enough to know anticipate the dry line and stay in it. Car control? Sure. Situational awareness? Abso-f**king-lutely. The king of the rain!
Senna is great indeed but to be fair it is a bit misleading it was exactly at the same place.He avoided the wet bit and the other car was all the way in the wet ( 4 wheels)
As a Brazilian, I need to say this: He was our last pride. Good Sundays mornings of F1 racing on TV.

TODAY...
Is there any driver like Senna who has a huge talent, soul and balls to even go up against F1 management politics ? NO
Is there any actor like Al Pacino & Robert De Niro ? NO
Is there any singer like Mickel Jackson, Sting ? NO
Is there any problem solver world leader like Ronald Regan, Nelson Mandella? NO
Is there any sportsmen with balls & brains like Mohammed Ali ? NO
so until now there is NO evolution NO improvement but there is huge decline...

Senna stayed 2 wheels on the dry line, if he would try to attack like Alesi, i think the result would be the same. This shows how smart Senna was
centriukasbronius 4 months ago
I LOVE Senna but if you look closely his left hand tyres were both on the dry prior to losing control & regaining it. With the other driver it was a different story, all 4 tired were on the wet, the car was way off to the left (inner line) priority to losing control. this evaluation isn't really precise. However, Senna probably would have had it under control if he REALLY was on the EXACT same line as the other driver.
RIP Senna. My hero on so many levels.

Starting to appreciate how AWESOME Senna really is. Some of the F1 drivers today can't handle their cars with half the power, twice the downforce, and twice the technology....

damn like 1300 hp, car weighs as much as my keyboard, friction coefficient of a hockey puck on ice, and a cockpit that u can prolly punch through, and this guy throws it around a track like he's untouchable. truly otherwordly smarts/skills and bravery. he is the model professional and human being. ive shown this clip to ppl who have never heard of him, and they are immediately enthralled with his abilities, and his personality. we are missing a truly remarkable human being. RIP.

That kind of reaction, that kind of control, on a wet track, off line and running on slick tyres, yet he made it look so effortless ...... simply brilliant.

ChannelSenna 5 months ago 122
@ChannelSenna That not what I'm arguing. In THIS particular situation, this part of the race, Prost was leading. After that if it rained like cats and dogs and Senna won it, good for him. They were both extraordinary drivers, but not with the same skills. If you would put both skills together, than you would have the perfect driver ever. Please leave the "retarded" part out of this conversation, I'm good with nasty words too if you care.

@emisintra Well it's just not is it? Prost was running quite comfortably round the dry racing line. Senna produced a damn near impossible over take on the wet part of the track on slick tyres. examples like this, Donington 93, Monaco 92, Suzuka 88, Monaco 84, Brazil 91, 6 wins at Monaco, record for most pole positions all add up to confirm Senna's rightful place as the greatest of all time.

Senna was reckless here passing in those conditions. The car he was passing backed off fearing Senna would crash into him, but Senna was able to get traction back. He was lucky, this time. He took a lot more risks than other drivers.

TheEbojfm 4 months ago
@AccordGTR Lucky? Lucky how? Senna was one of the most meticulous drivers in the history of F1. he left nothing to chance when setting the car up, ensuring his position in the team, qualifying and most of all when overtaking. The simple fact is this. Ayrton Senna was an F1 genius. We can debate who was the gretest driver of all time but, every F1 I know all agree on 1 thing. Senna was the best wet weather driver of them all.
chrismarkbicknell 4 months ago
@chrismarkbicknell Luck is always a factor in ANY competitive sport because there are many things you do not control or have knowledge of. I don't disagree Senna was one of the best if not the best but still, luck is always part of the game. If there was no luck involved, then what do you say for the times that he did crash or lose? Because Senna said he was always going for the win. So meaning if he lost, how do you explain that? He was having a bad day?

Funny - this is the exact clip - including the commentary - from the new Senna documentary. Senna was smart (and good) enough to know anticipate the dry line and stay in it. Car control? Sure. Situational awareness? Abso-f**king-lutely. The king of the rain!
