Senna's First Formula 1 Test 1983 (with English subtitles)

This is the rare footage of Senna testing the Williams, McLaren, and Toleman cars in 1983. I have added English subtitles to this version. However, I was not able to remove the original Greek(?) subtitle. To better read them I suggest you watch the video in full screen. If there are any questions on what it says on any section of the video, just post your questions as comments, and I'll get back to ya.

to drive THE best car with a subordinate team mate for 5-6 years with 95% reliability he would have won 95% of the time. Schumacher is proving how average a driver he really is today. Results are not the thing I look at. It's raw one lap speed......and he isn't even on Nico's pace who wasn't a hair on his dads arse. People who love F1 should watch races from the 80's. When I argue about Schumacher, to me he isn't even on the same page as Mansell, Prost, Lauda, Rosberg, let alone Ayrton.

give Schumacher a break. I am by no means his biggest fan, i am part of the group that thinks he cheated his way through the '94 season, but he is 43, and he has to deal with the Mercedes GP car, which isnt exactly the best. What you said about Rosberg, yes, he is not as quick, but if you watch races like SIngapore this year, you see he still has some poke in his driving.

O Reginaldo inventa demais... Senna na Brabham por causa do Piquet???? O que o Nelson mais queria era ver o Ayrton pelas costas...

That sound at 5:04 to about 5:14 is the sound of, 'Fast',.. and no other F1 driver would ever be able to do that since Senna.

Remember this Schumacher fanboys................Senna won 41 GP from 160 odd starts. In an era when less than half the field had mechanical failures each race. Running out of fuel was a huge issue. How many times did Schumacher retire with mechanical failures 00-05? Michael was also lucky F1 was basically 3 sprint races. Not only Senna, but Prost and Mansell etc lost many races when in dominant positions due to mechanical failures. Trust me guys, if Senna had the fortune to drive

@PedroLynott I am not sure Prost and Schumacher were better than him, really not sure! they had better cars and when Senna had the best car he showed he was the best...in 1989 Prost won the championship politically against him! and Schumacher has been the first driver to show how thin the border between a great car and a great driver is. Ferrari's supremacy throughout the first 5 seasons of the 2000s was embarassing!Hakkinen would have won the same, if he had been Ferrari's driver then!

@fickendermann Ah, not sure about that. Senna was great, a monster, e freak of nature. But not the only. Personally, I consider Prost and Schumacher better than he. And Piquet was in his prime. If he had started his career in Willians, for example, for me it would be similar to Lotus: a good car, a huge opponent (Rosberg), but no chance to win the championship.

@flatonia At least 10 times world champion!
