Senna’s first win in Brazil was physically demanding because he had to hold the gear lever in place.

Here in Brazil we called him "The Rain Wizard". Absolute legend.

Im brazilian and im loving these videos, thank you guys so much for doing a podcast on one of our only heroes...

Intros getting classier by every episode

The MP4/4 was designed by Gordon Murray! same guy that designed the Mclaren f1 years later

Its actually Alain Prost that brought Senna to Mclaren, he said it himself in an interview that he recommended Senna for the benefit of the team. keep in mind he didnt know about Senna that much at that time. Edit: I might add that you guys sort of mixed up the details of Senna and Prost’s agreement in Imola since it was Prost that led through the first turn and Senna agreed to stand down only to break that promise later after the restart since Senna said: the agreement only counted in the race start NOT the restart

You should do a past gas episode on jim clark the legendary f1 driver

Oh man i love sleeping in.. Smoking a fat bowl and listening to you ladz on a sunday

Senna liked to play with fire. He got away with that move several times thinking Prost would once again back down. Prost basically had enough and showed Senna he wasn't going to do it any more. This goes back to the beginning of racing. It was just racing. But almost 2 and a half decades later the FIA created rules that would have penalized Senna driving style and Prost in this specific crash. FIA regs 27.5, 27.6, and 27.8 addressed this issue. Walter Röhrl story would be a cool. 1988 SCCA Trans Am Niagara Falls Grand Prix

Hey guys love everything that you have been outting out 🤙 would love to see an up to speed on ford Australia and the ford falcon/ barra motor so much cool stuff and history with those cars, also a past gas on the v8 super cars series in Australia &/or the Holden ford rivalry in both racing and on the road in Australia,

Finally.... It's been a long week.

56:25 Senna stated the car did not want to stay in sixth gear, so he was physically holding the shifter in place, driving with his other hand, and as James stated revving the engine/breaking to maintain his place.

It's interesting to hear this perspective. Growing up, I was a fan of Alain Prost. I remember hating Senna and his tactics on the circuit. Senna's talent was unmistakable, even if he was the enemy of my F1 hero.

It’s that awkward moment where you buy something so expensive and the next day it comes in a sale for so cheap

Am i old when I say I can remember seeing all the races live in TV...when they were send live!!!

Love this podcast! I listen to it all the time!

I found the bag pack discussion to be the highlight of the show 👍🏽👍🏽

8:45 joe looks like someone sent him a picture of his girlfriend working in a strip club and he just opened it

I love that Nolan is doing the Meshuggah guy face in the thumbnail lol

29:31 when James said that, I immediately remembered the time Porsche begged the FIA to change the rules in the GT class bexause the Bmw M3 GTR wiped them out.

I’ve been waiting for this!!! F1’s hidden corruption.

took 40 episodes but Past gas is finally about farts

These intros are getting to next level with every new episode

Hearing the FIA consistency comment rings very true after the 2021 Abu Dabhi finale

Actually Prost was the one to push for the hiring of Senna. Don't base yourselves to much on the doc, it's kinda of one sided and impartial to Senna

thanks for the great content, boys. always look forward to the podcasts.

Enjoying the pics and videos added in. Helps to see what you are talking about while watching the podcast on youtube. Thank you.

Damn I gotta go to bed because its 2am here in Australia and I have work in like 4 hours, but if any of the Donut guys are in the channel, James, Zack, Nolan, Joe, Aaron, Man I love all the shows, especially the podcasts and Money Pit. Gonna watch this tomorrow, cheers dudes!

Good stuff guys, keep up the great work!

I started listening to this podcast yesterday, glad the 3rd chapter is out today! Senna is a beast, he is my childhood hero, people here in Brazil even say how ironic it is that in the football (soccer for my murican friends) country our greatest sporting idol is a race driver.

I love these podcasts you guys are great

Thanks for putting visuals in with the podcast KZfaq videos. I hope to see this more often. It makes it even more enjoyable. Plus there is only so many times I can watch Joe look befuddled while James and Nolan talk.

Love you guys. Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Do y’all think you will do a series on dale Earnhardt Sr? Always heard so much about him as a kid but never really knew the history behind it.

The Documentary was harsh to Prost, Senna and Prost actually had great respect and were really friends towards the end. Dont take that doc to really get Prost. He was not as portrayed in the doc, I feel he was kind of slandered a bit in that doc. At the time Prost was quite likeable, he was always a good dude for interviews. Its not the same as Senna, imo Senna is THE goat, he is my motorsport hero, and had mad charisma, I watched the race he died in (he died a day before my birthday) I adored Senna, If anyone would be willing to hate on Prost ...it's me...but Prost was a decent guy as far as I could tell

I really enjoyed this episode, as I always do all Donut podcasts. Great to hear you guys and your interpretation of events. It brought back a lot of fond memories for me as a kid. One of my earliest childhood memories was going downstairs at 7 or 8 years old at 5 in the morning (I’m in the UK) to watch the Suzuka grand prix in 1990. It was classic duvet on the sofa stuff, and I can remember being so excited. My whole family got up. We were Senna fans, but he totally took Prost off that day. It was like a Mike Tyson fight, the whole thing was over in about ten seconds. My old man took me to the British Grand Prix in ’90, ’91 and ’92. I was a huge Mansell fan as a kid. (You guys keep pronouncing his name incorrectly!). How lucky was I to see Senna race! I’ve not listened to next week yet; I hope you mention Mansell vs. Senna at Monaco in ’92. Phenomenal! Senna didn't have the car in '92; the Williams was way faster. I’m saving listening the last episode until next week when I take my boy for a walk in his buggy and I’m looking forward to it. That’s going to emotional. Keep it up, I love it!

Imagine unironically thinking The Beatles are bad while listening to music directly influenced & inspired by them

you guys left out that Senna spent a boat load of money in beneficial activities and structures back in his beloved Brasil.Very important detail about him

Love this episode, folks:33 Thanks.

Senna was cold and calculating too, and didn't mind punting people off the track, on purpose. Senna had his detractors...Murray Walker, for one.

If senna didn't die racing i am 100% sure his story would not be as big as it is right now.

Amazing Podcast! But go easy on Prost, the guy does not deserve such harsh treatment.... Senna had Honda with behind the scenes politics... There were scheming, and politics going on on both sides of the garage, that´s what made it so amazing!

Just got done listening to the show on spotify, dont know how to leave a review there. Just wanted to say keep up the great work y’all do, have enjoyed every video and podcast. I hope y’all will do a show on Dale Earnhardt someday.

Nice shirt Joe!

53:00. That's the reason why Nelson Piquet "Sr." says Senna was not a loyal competitor. And I don't think Piquet is wrong. Senna crashed to win the championship, period.

4:10 what you hear when you kill a villager in Minecraft..

You can see how much Ron Dennis adored Ayrton Senna, like he would allowed if Ayrton would be forever staying at McLaren, infact almost after the season end Ron always asked Ayrton will he staying with the team

I don’t know about everywhere else, but in the UK, a cowboy is an insult for somebody who’s lazy, reckless and cuts corners. Usually applied to contractors

4 mins of content and then a midroll, 4 mins of content and then a midroll, 4 mins of content and then a midroll, 4 mins of content SPREAD IT TF OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the podcast

You guys should definitely try their podcasts on Spotify

I love the podcast guys! You should do a podcast on Peter brock. The group a vk commodore is the second best marlboro livery ever. Day glo orange with massive fender flairs

Guys you should make a d list about about the words most smallest cars or world’s most cheapest cars 1st hand

Thank you for content to watch.

holy crap i can't believe he walked all the way home while in his race gear i imagine how i animated it

During the '91 Brazilian GP, actually Senna basically injured his right arm trying hopelessly to make that broken gearshift work. That's one of the reasons why he couldn't lift up the trophy on the podium. He was physically and emotionally exhausted, too.

would love to see a past gas episode on rosberg and hamilton

The reason senna was so fatigued was not only braking force on the pedal is insane, but youre wrangling a 1000hp turbo monster around a track at near 200mph speed with z e r o power steering lol. As well as the 6th gear thing its seriously straining

Kinda knew the guys would be biased against Prost but wow

I watch one episode 15 times and I wish it could be everyday

Pls do more podcasts about F1 after this!!

Been to Japan. Went to an antique store. Things being a 1000 years old was not strange.

Anybody have the link to the driver61 crash analysis video?

I fell asleep when I started watching the video and I came back to them talking about sandwiches and backpacks like wtf is going on!?!?!?

28:59 Gary Bettman (Commissioner of the NHL) should listen to this and take notes...

Where did you find the overhead angle of the Senna/Prost 89 crash?

Great shout out to Driver 61 :)

anyone know the name of that intro music?

Please do a full video on the awesomely creative Akira Nakai Rwb (RAUH-Welt Begriff) also for a good cause you host track events (after this pandemic). I’d be down to track my 996turbo

You guys could do one about the rivalry of James Hunt and Niki Lauda as well. Also it would be really awesome to have an up to speed on Senna.

Senna couldn't compete because Williams car was just miles ahead of all other f1 cars that season. Also, Benetton was a t-shirt company before they got into F1. They did so to advertise the brand. Apparently they were a major brand in the 80's. Love the show, keep up the good work fellas.

Link to buy james hat?

What happened to yesterdays vid a was looking forward to the vs.

this time past gas was about passing gas! who would have guessed?!

Some things are unaccurate, the documentary is great, but it really painted Prost as some kind of villain and Senna as some kind of hero. Thats not the case, try to do little bit more indepth research please.

It's actually Prost who recommended Senna to McLaren.

Baffled that the manscape shaver isn't called the brawnmower - but that has next to nothing to do with the 'cast

The Monaco race is funny. Prost's post race interview has him repeatedly saying senna was specifically targeting him and Senna's interview doesn't mention prost at all. Prost's ego is ridiculous.

I'm brazilian and I started watching F1 when Emerson Fittipaldi was trying to make Coopersucar work, before going to Indy. And Senna was not about passion. Nelson Piquet Sr. was, not him. Just watch Piquet talk about Ayrton. It was the most amazing surprise when he payed Prost back for the ungentlemanly manouvre the year before. And we all yelled our lungs off, much more than it would be like if it was a victory.

You guys need to do like an NPR broadcast

Joe looks tired lol

Prost actually wanted Senna to go to McLaren...

I think Prost gets a worse rap than he deserves, thanks to the senna documentary

Driver61 is awesome! Chain Bear is really good as well for the analysis of racing

Ghost of tsushima fuckin slaps Nolan! Play that shit

Pause at any point during manscaped add for a prizewinning facial expression

Calvin and Hobbes was fantastic.

I love listening to you guys... But this episode is a bit suspect. I get it you guys love Senna, but just like the documentary , you guys are focusing on one side of the story and not being fair to the other party, Prost, which is arguably considered by many including Bernie Ecclestone when recently asked, as the best driver of all time ... Senna was great , but Prost was much more the consistent sure bet vs Senna which you had to worry more about throwing away a race in the middle of lapping a guy, or just flat out driving the car to the ground instead of nursing it home... You guys didn't mention that Senna won the 88 title only because the 11 best results counted towards the championship, but Prost scored more points throughout the year... The suzuka 89 crash, Senna's wheel never made it past Prost's helmet at the moment of impact, meaning if Senna was going straight and Prost turning in, how far was Senna back from Prost when Prost started to turn in? ... 90 Suzuka, what sense does it make sense for you to get Pole position and then request for the line to be switched from the side that it's been every year? Wouldn't it make to request that before you qualify? What if Prost purposely didn't get Pole to start on the clean side of the track, would it make sense to switch it then?....

FIA: Ferrari de Improvement Asociación

DK Donuts is legendary

Schumacher debuted the 191. Nothing wrong with the car guys.

Heck yes

1 hour of podcast = 15 minutes of advertising + 30 minutes of parallel conversation. the first podcasts were better, more content and less mess

Senna was the Robbin Hood of racing

Part of the reason that it was so tiring to run with the broken gearbox was that he had to hold the car in gear. Apperently he had cut his hand through his gloves because of the effort. But please fact-check to make sure that this is true

Prost was a 'suck up with the execs at FIA. He was a political animal, Ayrton was a genius who ran on emotion and passion for driving.

Didn't driving in sixth hurt Senna because he literally had to hold the car in sixth and was driving with one hand? I've definitely heard that but am unsure of the truth of it.

JOE STOP WATCHING CUBS HOME GAMES!!

I had ordered a couple of shirts not sure what happend to them I didn't get them

I bet you that helmet was the real deal, That would be very Japanese that its the real deal and therefore given as a gift. Gift giving in their culture is extremely important
