I was at the Brazilian GP in 1993, when it started to rain the crowd went crazy, they knew Senna would overtake everyone in the rain. He did.

I remember a Senna interview he was asked “ Why do you like driving in wet conditions ? “ He replied ‘ Do you think I like it , ? No you’re wrong I hate it like all drivers do , I just manage it a lot better ‘ Best F1 driver ever ? …. For me YES

And don't forget this: the drivers who Senna passed on that lap included Michael Schumacher, Alain Prost, and Damon Hill, who would go on to win a combined 12 world championships over the course of their careers!

As an Argentinean, even though we have some rivalries with Brazilians, I must say that Senna is the best F1 driver... ever. Even our own Fangio said it so (and he had records that took half a century to surpass, even his win ratio, both race and championship, are at the top). Numbers and statistic don't transmit the real genius of Senna. Not for nothing he was called Magic.

I was there, no big screens, no mobile phones, we couldnt hear PA system because of the wind! We had to use a telephone box to call home to ask what was happening in the race. It rained then stopped, then rain started again, then wind came again, then rain stopped again and again and again, the cars were in and out of the pits non stop! I will never forget that day, and I still have my ticket!

Senna was legendary in wet conditions, in his first victory in 1985 with a Lotus in the Portuguese GP it was raining cats and dogs and he lapped everyone but Alboreto in second, leading the entire race.

This lap became known as: ''Lap of gods''

Senna was out of this world. I saw him winning in Brazil in 93. I remember that day as it was yesterday! Incredible! People from the G sector have invaded the race track at the end of the race. Senna stopped less than 100 m in front of us. Man, that feeling when hen jumped out of the car and raised both arm in a sight of victory was like as we were in a rock concert with our favorite band, singing in euphoria. Don’t have words to that.

The story of Senna at Detroit when he was full attack and said the barrier moved and people didn't belive him until they watched footage and saw that someone else hit and displaced the barrier that he hit is insane. He had such amazing car control and awareness of the track to see that is amazing, Senna was a special person.

"I'm a racing driver, I'm I am designed to win races, not to come third, forth or second, Im here to win" Something like that Ayrton Senna said in an interview with Jack Stewart. I can see a lot people talking about the other side of Senna, that he would humilate other drivers by lapping them. I guess those people have no passion in life. Senna breathed formula one. It was his passion. Real sports people don't care who you are, they will destroy you one way or another. Tennis players, soccer player, racing drivers, and the list goes on. They will eat you alive if you give them an opportunity. For instance, Max Vestapen is doing that very same thing. Louis Hamilton did it when he had the best car. Theres no such thing as being nice in sports, specially in formula one. Ayrton Senna was a great human being, he donated 400 milion dollars to charities in Brazil to help underpreviledged childrem. His charity still helps people even today in 2024. That's why he was the best!!

I think it was the 1989 Adelaide GP, race day was extremely wet. On a particular right hand corner many drivers ,including Nigel Manson , spun out doing several 360° s and all eventually crashing into the wall. Ayrton spun out on the same corner, he did about 4-5 360°s however he did NOT crash into the wall, he regained control and continued the race. I thought it was sheer luck, but after getting home I watched it in slow motion and couldn't believe what I was seeing; as Ayrton was spinning 4-5 times , all in a mere second or 1.5 sec, as the car's nose pointed towards the wall he applied the brakes, as the rear of the car was heading for the wall he would accelerate hard and you could see the tyres spinning furiously. He applied the brake, then accelerated, then brake, then accelerate 5 times in a second or so. Ayrton Senna was head and shoulders above all his rivals, he was a true legend of motor racing, may he rest peace and his soul a blessing.

As a Brazilian i can tell you that he was the best part of every sunday morning, it was the country hapiness, a time to enjoy with family and get surprised with Senna driving skills. Miss so much that time, Thanks Senna.

I'm brazilian and I remember watching the brazilian GP in 1993 with my father and sister (one of the best memories of my childhood), when the rain came the energy at the atmosphere changed, the certainty of the victory was so strong you could feel it like an energy and I've never experienced that feeling of trusting in any other human being or any other sport in my life.

There was also, perhaps, one of the most legendary races in history in Brazil in 1991. Senna had problems with the gearbox and ran the last laps only in 6th gear. (Remembering that it was a manual transmission). This victory generated one of the most beautiful scenes on a podium ever seen: Senna with his hands shaking trying to lift the trophy. LEGEND!!!

Few know this but Senna had a special method of driving in the rain , he would feather the throttle instead of just planting it . If you look very carefully in some footage you can just make out his foot actions. Never seen any other driver use it . A true genius and a gentleman. I miss him very much still.

Started 4th in the rain, dropped to 5th, dominated the rest of the race having 5 pit stops to use all available wet tires and finished 1st on slicks lapping everyone but 2nd place with a gap of 1:23. The record is setting the fastest lap of the race while driving through pits as there was no pit speed limit so no one will ever do that again.

As a Brazilian born in 96, post his tragic accident, I just cannot explain why I'm moved to tears every time I see his videos or listen to his stories. It's like Senna was part of my family -- and we all Brazilians feel this way. Thank you for sharing this video!🥲

Thanks for this, it reminded me of that day, stood in the rain and watching Senna running a master class on how to drive a car fast, in the rain! It was good to hear his name pronounced correctly too, doesn't happen often. One thing you missed, Ayrton did lap everyone, he let Damon Hill unlap himself on the very last lap. It took me three hours to get away from the circuit that day. The grass in the field we parked in was waterlogged and people were struggling to get out, it was carnage. I didn't care though, I knew I had just witnessed something VERY special.

O maior de todos os tempos O único, e imbatível até hoje. Nosso querido Ayrton Senna Saudações do Brasil !

The Senna/Prost rivalry was absolutely fantastic viewing. Senna for me will always be the number 1 of all time

No doubt, he's the best of formula one history!!! Ayrton Senna from Brazil!!!!

he was and he is till now NUMBER ONE...he was the magic

I think you should pay attention to Barrichello at this same race too ... He start at P11, and finish the same first lap in P4!!!! With a Jordan-Hart!!!!

The one, the best, incomparable, legend, myth, winner, absolutely monster.

Here is a Proud Brazilian and I appreciate your time to make this video, of a Brasilian guy no one can never forget, besides Mr. Pelé. A great driver, so sad he left us so soon...

Ayrton's best record is 6 wins at Monaco... That is his welcome card... He did it in the rain, manual gear, with all opponents you can think of that ERA, even Mansell in a Williams faster 1 second than him... This race was also great and one of Senna's best moments, speacially the first lap. But we are still waiting for someone to win also 6 times in Monaco...

What Senna did that race was certainly legendary, Ruben Barrichello qualified 12th, and by the end of lap 1, he was 4th. Great video! Thank you!

The difference between Senna and everyone else. Some drivers have some memorable dry or wet performances. All of Sennas performances were memorable especially the ones in the wet.

According to some ppl close to Senna, he wanted to try the lap through the pits because he knew it was a shortcut.

I will never forget this race. Of all the races Senna ran, this one was truly the most jaw dropping. He was in an inferior car but such was his mastery in the wet that he made everyone else look like amateurs. Especially Prost lol😂. Sempre Senna!

I miss him :( F1 has never been the same without him, one day we will meet.. rip (the goat).

SENNA FOREVER! - I am Brazilian. About the fastest lap around the box there was no mistake. Ayrton premeditated that, because he realized in practice that he could do the fastest lap, inside the box. Watch this video, in Portuguese, with subtitles. "Galvão relembra malandragem e show de Senna em Donington-1993". Senna and Galvao was a very good friends. Greetings from Brazil.

In wet conditions...Senna is the King...

Great job Alberto ! I'm sure very few people knew all of these records that Senna managed to broke in D.P Grand Prix ! You have absolutely right ! No one can ever repeat it.. Many greetings from Greece!

my God! why do even question who is the best F1 driver of all times...just this one race proves it for all times! Senna is really that one talent in a million

Those people watching max today thinking he’s so wonderful never got to watch senna in the day. Senna was the best , simple as that. The most natural gifted f1 driver.

HE DID NOT ABORTED THAT PITSTOP. He did this action (crossing through the pitlane) ON PURPOSE, as he declared after the race, to confirm that it was a faster alternative route in a difficult situation during the race, as he imagined earlier (because the total length was shorter crossing through the pitlane specifically on that circuit)

Super TKS for the video! About the Fastest Lap: Ayton was very close friend with two well known journalists, Galvao Bueno and Reginaldo Leme and both tell that Ayrton checked the rules to make sure that he could pass through the pit with no penalties. That confusion on the McLaren box was real because in that very moment they don’t have a clue what’s going on about any pitstop. They weren’t prepared. Ayrton planned all! Genius and a truly treasure here in Brazil. Once again, TKS!!!

I'm a Brit, in the UK, and I hate the weather!! Senna is the unequalled greatest driver ever for me.

I watched this race on the TV at the time. Great race, great driver. Senna was the GOAT, no doubt.

Nailed the Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation of Ayrton 🎯

I watched this race on TV, but I didn't remember so many facts. Thanks. It's important to say that in that race, another driver, Rubens Barrichello, only in his third race in F1, went from 12th to 4th position in that 1st lap, under the same conditions in a small team car. Two great rain race drivers.

I remember anxiously awaiting qualifying, because by the end of it Senna would end up with the pole more times than not...he made my Saturdays and Sundays...what a great champion...I was fortunate enough to see all of his F1 races including his last...the only consolation I hold on to from his last race was that he was Indeed leading in that race before the accident occurred. He will always be my hero...

I moistly love my weather, moistly...

Never actually bothered to find about what happened in the race after his crazy start. Safe to say his performance throughout the race was legendary

Prost did 7 pit stops. And Senna 4 because didn't stop that one time. Donington 1993 was my very first GP to watch. Became a fan of the sport.

I am from Argentina and in my country it is not normal to have sports idols from other places. There are exceptions of course, from great legends like Magic Johnson, Nadia Comaneci or Steffi Graf, but with Ayrton Senna something special happens. He is still remembered, loved and mourned by Argentines. Fangio once said that he loved him like a son. He never recovered from his death. Argentina has a sporting rivalry with Brazil, but there are Brazilians so special that they touch the heart of difficult people like us. It also happens with Guga Kuerten or Ronaldinho. And with people from other fields, such as art, politics or science.

He was the G.O. A.T. rest in peace Ayrton

Great video pal, after so many years of nostalgia someone puts a video with new insights about Ayrton Senna! Bravo!

Your video gave me the chills all the way. Long live Ayrton Senna. Much appreciated buddy

Rei de Mônaco ❤ 87, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93 jamais igualado por outro piloto da F1

As a Brazilian and a Senna fan, it is very nice to see a video like this. Thanks for it and yes, Senna was unique.

Wonderful video. The best racing car driver ever, legendary Ayrton Senna. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

That for me was the greatest F1 era. They were even stick shifting, so real driving !

Thanks for this video! Senna will be in our hearts forever, as a pilot and as the great human being he was. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Jackie Stewart 1968 Nürburgring in the rain. Started in 6th and leading by 9 seconds after the first lap. Won in the wet by four minutes. Senna at Donnington started 4th and won by 1m 23s.

Here's another Senna record that CAN be broken, which might make it better because it still has not been. Monaco is widely considered to be the track where the driver matters the most, where his skill can make the difference instead of usually the car making the difference. At this track Senna still holds the record for the most wins, 6. And that is only from 10 chances. If you look even closer, he nearly won that race 2 other times. That would make 8 out of 10 tries. Hard to imagine. 6 of 10 is still the best there has ever been. This is a fantastic example of why Senna is still considered the best ever pure driver of Formula One.

Second video I've seen since subscribing yesterday, and another winner! Thanks for the good work! (the first one was when you won the Legend Cars euro championship)

Legendary Ayrton, proved he is the GOAT. 🏎🏆🏁

Unfortunately and understandably, people focus on Senna and don't realize that besides him, Rubens Barrichello also made a magical comeback.

I watched that race live back in 1993 - it was nuts to watch, given Senna's McLaren was using a massively underpowered Ford engine for that season as their long-term partner Honda had just left the sport.

I really miss watching Senna races with my family on Sunday mornings.

Thanks Alberto, great video and great details ; Ayrton will always be my idol, great that someone from 90 understands his supernatural skills. I didn't know you before, from now on you re gonna have one more follower. P.S. great accent as well

Senna destroyed Prost, albeit Prost past his best, at Donington 1993. The men he overtook won a combined 12 championships between them. He did not make the most pit stops though - Hill made 6 and Prost 7. This was also back in the days before pit lane speed limits, making it even less likely to be beaten - I'm pretty certain he took the lap record from a Group C Peugeot and that last generation of group C cars had at least mid-grid speed for F1 too.

A hug from Brasil 🇧🇷

Realmente, GP Brasil e GP Europa de 1993 são duas das melhores corridas de Ayrton Senna. Sobre o belo vídeo, vale destacar alguns pontos: 1. Ayrton optou por pneus slick nessa corrida, devido à chuva intermitente. Em alguns momentos da corrida, havia um trilho seco na pista que permitia o uso desses pneus. 2. Em uma entrevista após a corrida, Senna mencionou que sua passagem pelo pit lane, e consequentemente a volta mais rápida da corrida, foi um teste. Ele afirmou que, se necessário, iria ultrapassar Prost cortando a última curva utilizando o pit lane.

Thanks! Excellent video!

This May will be 30 anos since Ayrton' s passing away! Awesome pilot ..everyone really looked foward to watch the race..Sorry to say, not as much these past years... I still teary when I watch or listen about this great human being..with a golden heart!!

Fabulous video mate...especially the clip of Prost entering pit lane as if it was the proper racing line! Just subscribed...👍

Thanks for this amazing video.

Great video! I miss Senna :( As a Brazilian he makes me proud, which is very unusual

Awesome, I have been looking for this race! I used to work night shift in a hospital in CA. This race came on I think 5am? I put every patients TV on the race channel. I never saw anything like it, Senna went around drivers who had wets on, I think he had slicks on, he passed on the inside and the outside! Are you kidding me? On the outside, in the rain, on slick tires? Who does that? He was the master of the wet. I think the pulse rate of these guys is like 180 bpm (they use to show vitals during a race). Aryton did not like the rain; you really can't see in an open cockpit going 190 mph while its raining. Wow, great video, forgive me if I made any errors. Dancing in the rain. Senna was and will always be the best. No cmputers, one hand on the wheel, the other on the shifter, 1300 hp, screaming turbo. Hell yeah! Great video, I loved it.

Great video. Cheers from Brazil!

Informative; thank you!

Imortal. There will never be another driver like him. Ayrton Senna didn't die, he's just one lap ahead of us.

Here in Brazil, we always remember this race, we also remember that Rubens, making his debut that same year, had a memorable race and many here in Brazil comment that 1993 was the best year as a driver for Senna. For the results and for having a much inferior car. Thanks for the great video

Drove into history,,truly a great driver,,,

Epic video! you're very entertaining to watch 👍

Great video on an amazing record, set by an amazing driver.

Excellent video. Grazie.

That is why he is still remembered in Brasil as the greatest sporting hero on our history! F1 was never the same for brazilians after he died. To see his races for brazilians was a family show. Good memories.

Ayrton Senna during the 1990 Monaco Grand Prix. During the race, Senna described a transcendental experience he had while leading the race in extremely challenging wet conditions. He mentioned that he reached such a focused state of mind that he felt as if he was in a trance-like state, describing the sensation as being "in a tunnel" where everything else disappeared and he was completely focused on just riding. This description has become iconic and is often cited to illustrate Senna's level of skill and concentration as a Formula 1 driver.

Appreciate mentioning Alboreto.

Che video fantastico, ragazzo! è stato un grande piacere guardare questo video sulla leggenda chiamata Ayrton Senna... ho dieci anni meno di te Alberto... quindi ho potuto vedere tutto dal vivo... da brasiliano sono molto orgoglioso di aver visto il pilota che Alonso, Schumacher e Hamilton considerano il più grande di tutti i tempi... Essendo un discendente italiano e tifoso della Ferrari, è un peccato che la morte gli abbia impedito di realizzare il suo sogno di guidare una Ferrari.

You're a great story teller. Well done.

Please do more videos about ayrton Senna ! great video!

Great video!!!

The record for the longest gap between lead and 2nd place is stikk held today by Jackie Stewart with 4:03.2 min on Graham Hill during the 1968 German grand prix held at the Nürburgring's Nordschleife.

Muito obrigada por essas incríveis lembranças do Ayrton Senna ❤

Excellent video!

mi fa tanto piacere che questo canale abbia successo subito. É la prova che sei davvero bravo a raccontare le storie e che nell'ultimo canale era "shadowbanned" da yt

thanks for the video

Super interesting. Thanks for telling the story in an interesting way 👌

Very Good Vid. TY

This is one , no, this is the most amazing race story ive ever heard!!!! I had no idea. This is something everyone should know. Even if you walk for a living. Holy shit.

I would watch the races and pray for rain. Actually pray, because whenever it rained, he'd just win. 100%. Genius, a legend. True idol of the sport.

Great video! Ai facut fericiti o multime de fani ai lui Ayrton, aducand aminte de acea cursa! Sunt convins ca putini stiau toate detaliile cursei, inclusiv eu! Unii piloti din prezent spuneau ca Senna nu ar fi putut conduce o masina din era hibrida, dar eu cunt convins ca EI nu ar fi putut conduce o masina ca a lui Senna, care practic nu avea niciun sistem ajutator, nici macar cutie de viteze automata! Sa-l vad eu pe un Hamilton sau Verstappen cum s-ar fi descurcat pe un adevarat taur dezlantuit cum era masina lui Senna! Cu adevarat un pilot unic, cu mult peste oricare pilot, indiferent de epoca in care a evoluat! Si aceasta cursa este martorul geniului pe care l-a aratat...

That was an amazing display of skills. No questions. Speaking of lapping an entire field, Ricky Carmichael lapped the entire field in the mud on a dirt bike. I know, different sport and mind you, he didn't have an inferior machine like Ayrton. Good job, liked it a lot.

Thirty years this May we lost Senna. We'll remember him. He was the GOAT
