  • Hahahaha look at senna he's ready to go for the full race!!

  • Prost was 100% right. There wers spins all over on the very first lap. Senna plowed inbto the back of a back-marker when passing another car because he couldn't see a damn think (the onboard video from the car he hit shows the massive spray). Senna was lucky not to have died right then. All they had to do was wait a couple of hours -the rain subsided enough to race. But the sponsors insisted, despite the risks to the drivers.

  • Senna is a legend!!!

  • Prosts's rant?

    The man made sense!!!

  • @JRRacing85 .... because the other racer was so slow.

  • @medonhoblu Sadly it was Senna who was humiliated because he crashed at full speed into the rear of another car during the race!

  • @tor378a Prost was afraid of being humiliated again by Senna running in the rain!

  • @TheLn14 kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, "dont worry Prost, I show to you the way!

  • Lol... they're just going to "start the race and do one lap," cut to Senna at 2:19 sitting in the car like there's not a drop in the sky.

  • Senna said to a close friend that he knew it was very dangerous to race but he was a paid driver and he had to race. Plus he could have won the world championship

  • Regardless of the fact that Prost didnt need to race as he had the championschip in his pocket, he was right that he didnt want to risk. Senna may wanted to race, but how many really bad races like this he experienced? One, or two? And it always went well for him. But as he crashed into Brundle here by not being able to see him he might realised that this is too much, and that was reflected in 1991 GP here at Adelaide,when after 15 laps he was vawing to the marshalls trying them to stop the race
