So well spoken, respectful, calm and very intelligent. Humanity is missing a very valuable member since that day in '94.
how is the way ayrton is speaking to the media here in any way different to the way any modern f1 drivers speak to the media? he sounds exactly the same
@@jemimallah2591he never compared them to modern f1 drivers 🤦🏽♂️. Read what he said dude!
@@GlockieAL thanks. 🙏🏻
@@jemimallah2591You can't even understand a comment mate 😂.
Totalement d'accord avec vous !!!
Probably the most beautiful livery in the entire F1 history. I love this Lotus.
The livery is fascinating but after he seats in the car you can not really understand how can someone drive in such cage, it is like a mousetrap.
@@42much1 It's still more open than today's seating position. At the end, it's only a past-time. No one should die in it. So we need all those involved to be safe.
@@DesertObserver491 soy boy
Yeah, the JPS is a beautiful machine!
With the Mercedes w11 as well ❤
My God,. how many things happened after that... How many historic moments we witnessed... Ahh, how we miss you, Ayrton

Who is Airton?

Muy seguidor de él y no sabe escribir su nombre Ayrton.
Saludos
@@martf8014 the best driver ever
@@martf8014AYRTON IS BETTER THAN AIRTON :-)))
Ayrton was so much more than a racing driver. Such a great human. His institute here in Brazil continues to help children and bring Ayrton's incredible story to people today. Several idols here, football players, get involved in fights, betrayals, wrong posts, racism, sexism, and are idolized anyway. Ayrton was different. Ayrton brought pride to Brazil. He had humility, charisma, he was a cultured, respectful, kind person. A person who took his work very seriously. A real man.Sunday mornings were happy for the workers who watched Ayrton shining on TV.
25 and with a twinkle in his eye, a legend in the making.
And already the best driver on the grid
Totalement d'accord avec vous !!!!
I cannot believe it’s nearly 40 since this TV show was broadcast. Ayrton is around 25 years old here, but It’s very impressive how confident and mature he comes across at the start of his F1 career. Already he seems to know every little detail about the whole JPS setup and not just the finer points of the car, A really cool, intelligent assured and presentable young man. RIP
Ayrton achieved so many things that sometimes I doubt that he'd lived for just 34 years. So fast, so brilliant, so young, so sorely missed. Rest in peace, dearest.
He had such a natural charisma as well.
Yeh, something like that you find nowadays only in Hamilton, Le Clerc and Alonso.
@@42much1 None of their charisma comes even remotely close to Ayrton's, maybe except for Alonso's.
@@42much1 🙄
Alonso is a grumpy witch.
Based on this interview you are talking bollocks. Clearly he developed as he became more experienced and world champion
Those JPS Lotus cars were the most beautiful cars ever.
Totalement d'accord avec vous !!!!! Avec un fabuleux casque jaune !!!!!!
Beautiful car and Senna worked miracles with it.
I miss you my fellow countryman, my great Brazilian hero and to everyone. Rest in peace Ayrton! 😔😪😥😥🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
R.I.P the greatest F1 driver of my life time.
Piquet is still alive.. Rest in peace Ayrton Senna
He was 25 here.
as someone who's just had their 46th birthday, I feel blessed to have lived this long but this man has lived many lifetimes long before his 30th birthday.
From a rookie to a legend and then became immortal
the modesty and humility of Ayrton are unarrivebles.
Really.
is this a joke?
@@MrMustache-yn4zm probably, as a brazilian i know that one thing he's never been is humble and modest. lmao, great pilot tho
very fast@@d.martins4471
@@d.martins4471 yeah, no modesty at all. In 1993 he used to drive around with some Ford Sierra or Escort while having a free time. Others F1 guys called the Mercedes..
Ayrton Senna The Greatest of All Time.
This is painful to watch. As a young boy I watched Ayrton winning in Estoril in the pouring rain. From that day I was hooked. And then, came that day where Ayrton was taken by the angels. Could not watch F1 for more than 15 years. God bless
I thought it was just me not watching F1 for 15 years
Me too. I watch from time to time, but can't for an entire season since that depart.
Same here. Never watched a single race since May 1st 1994
Me too, it was twenty years before I started watching again regularly after San Marino 94.
damn you people need to get a grip. acting like your own mother died.
We all miss Ayrton!
Love how he spoke so kindly about the marshals ❤
Such charming young man.
Senna, the best driver ever.
That car was an absolute monster.
The greatest with the most beautiful car in F1 history.
we miss you ayrton 😢
The last, the unique, the Best. This is Senna.
What a kind person he was outside the car.... a speed demon inside. Charming demon :) He is missed and always be. But there is no week I don't think about him so, he is still around :)
I am sure Alain Prost would disagree with you!
Senna transcended the sport of F1 as Tiger did to golf.they literally became the sport.a privilege to witness.RIP Senna my hero.
Wow..they didn't realise what a legend they had in the studio!
Everyone looking on knew he was going to be very good but could anyone have really imagined just how good? Greatest of all time!
Beginning of legend
@mr. invisible in 1984 Ayrton finish in second position driving a Toleman in Montecarlo , the legend start here 😉
@@MrPizzababy79 We know history, we know how it pans out for him later on.
So i would say that the legend starts when he was born. ;)
edit : and yes, thinking like that, you could even say that the legend starts when the universe was created. Which i think is funny to think about, for some reason ^^
a true legend, so so sad to think its been 30 years since his passing :( he would have won a double digit number of champhionships, if he had not died in that crash
Senna Player Special
Missed as much today as since his passing.
God bless you Ayrton...forever more my idol.
The true goat
He will always be my hero. Ive taught both my sons the significance of this man, our boy from Brasil. Taught them enough so as they can teach their own children the beauty of Ayrton Senna da Silva. 41-65
Uau, congratulations for your words.
The most beautiful F1 car ever.
Looking at him inside the car without headrest is insane.
Yes but is Ayrton fully in the car ?
To my eyes he isn’t .
wow what a great piece of priceless history
The greatest!
Nah, Lewis is. This guy was a bad loser and a cheater.
@@justmehereUK lewis is the greatest? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Senna is a legend, God of F1. He competed in the golden age of F1 and raced against the best and it's not just me saying that, but thousands of fans, former drivers and journalists agree that Ayrton Senna is the best driver in history. I'm sure you weren't born at the time Senna was running. He was racing at a time when the riders weren't girls who complained about everything like your idol.
@@dbalarez yea cool story bro, he crashed into people when he wasn't fast enough. If he raced today, he would've have his license stripped. He was a dirty driver that simply wouldn't come close to Sir Lewis.
@@justmehereUK The difference is that at that time the pilots were gladiators and not princesses who complain about everything like those who race today. And believe me that no driver from the 70s or 80s could race in today's F1 where everything is sanctioned. The guy was a god and he's even an idol of Lewis. I consider Hamilton a great driver, the best of his generation, but I don't think he's at the level of Fangio, Senna, Schumacher, Prost or Clark. I am sure Hamilton will surely win one more title before retiring, but I am also sure that Senna will continue to be considered the best of all time.
@@dbalarez Monaco 1985.... Senna cheated. He was a dirty cheat that would've been kicked out of the sport if it was now.
His main concern, The marshals are outstanding. If you have a crash they are very good and they will keep you safe! Choro so ver esse cara ainda em vida.
Miss you Ayrton
Ayrton could have achieved so much more if only 94 hadn't of happened. It's crazy to watch this thinking at that point he's just another driver.. decades and decades later we still talk about him daily. I truly think he's the best there has ever been. I wish I could have seen him race live.
In the documentary, the lady who became his girlfriend kissed him 91 92 93, and stopped. If only she had kissed him for 94.
So hard to watch this knowing that 9 years later the legend Ayrton Senna Da Silva would be taken away from us in such tragic circumstances. He was a hero to me from his driving ability to what this videos shows - charisma in abundance, calmness, softly and well spoken; a true legend. I named my first son Ayrton after the great man and always talk and show videos of him to my two boys hoping they (especially my eldest) understand how great and important he is to the world.

We miss you Ayrton
genio Ayrton, el mas grande de todos
Pura vida senna orgullo de Brazil e Iberoamerica ❤
I remember that car racing when I was a tiny kid. It was the coolest thing I'd ever seen as a three year old. And with Senna driving it, it was magic.
Lembro muito bem deste belíssimo carro, e do Ayrton Senna dando tudo de si nas pistas, era incrível ver ele na pole a frente das feras da época, Piquet, Prost, Lauda foi uma época de corridas verdadeiras!
He was one of the best !!! A unique driving style !!!
The one and only.
The best driver Ayrton
Forever a legend
It's extraordinary how much F1 has moved on since this decade. They were practically sitting out in the open in this era, now they're cocooned in, surrounded by carbon fibre, Kevlar, the Halo, HANS device and so much more.
That's why comparing today's drivers to those of that era is impossible and useless: there is no comparison. The drivers of that era were very courageous and way more talented! Today it's like a video game
Complete sissyfied.
@@fabriziomartelli8472 That's why fangio is the best of all,he would race only with a 1920s pilot helmet and still managed to win 5 titles 😂😂😂
Yeah it's not the same now, is it?:(
@@fabriziomartelli8472 I AGREE.

Most beautiful car ever
This is awesome. That car was so pretty.
I like the clean look the cars used to have.
Best F1 driver ever!
R.I.P LEGEND
Beautiful car and what a racer, RIP Ayrton.
Never Gone.
Never Forgotten.
I implore anyone who hasn’t seen the Senna documentary to see it.
It’s the greatest documentary of all time
It really is made me cry 😢
I love Ayrton, but that documentary is wildly biased.
@@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044 I agree with you, and the words 'biased' and 'documentary' should never come together in review because a pure documentary includes all of the context and is indisputably factual. Sadly such documentaries are as rare as hens teeth these days regardless of the topic. Confirmation bias sells. 'Senna' is an excellent movie if you are a one-eyed Senna fan, and it includes some amazing historical footage that everyone can enjoy.
@@jasonmcmillan4373 I'm a huge Senna fan, but I'm also a huge Prost fan, and a disservice was done to him with this movie. This movie is honestly a preview of what DTS has become...So many important things were left out that it is 50/50 fact and fiction. Anyone knowing the true events of 1988-1990 will immediately recognize what has been left out in order to make Senna look better. The movie's well made and brought Senna's legacy to more people, especially here in the States, so it's not all bad. I just think one of the things that makes Senna so fascinating are his tragic flaws. You can still admire the man while acknowledging his faults. He was a great driver and a great man, but still made some spectacular missteps. Portraying him like a flawless saint is a bit strange.
It's too biased. Both Prost and Senna were ruthless and had to play dirty to win. Senna was no saint, and it's fine.
And when he puts his yellow helmet he transforms himsef in the "Rain-master", a kid becoming a fierce racer. We all miss you so much.
Ayrton, we won't forget you
With F1 it's not about wanting your country to win. F1 to me Is about the greatest drivers and engines
I wanted lotus to win. They were still the second most successful constructor on the grid at their last ever grand prix in 1994.
Its a shame they never found someone to fully replace Chapman, he could win people over and use this to help raise money and get the best stuff for the team.
McLaren had Ron Dennis, Williams had Frank Williams, but Lotus never really found a true businessman to get the money, Peter Warr could run the race team, but not the rest of it to the same standard as Ron Dennis for example who was excelent at finding money and suppliers etc.
Lotus was heavily reliant on its history, hence its rapid demise after results dried up.
Where as Williams have had 2 winless runs both longer than that of lotus and though struggling still continue thanks to better financial management.
pitty that big time lotus no exsist anymore 1994 last season
@@theant9821 You are a mine of information on F1. Thank you my friend.
Are you sure its not about wanting your country to win? What people dont know is that Senna had a pre-contract with Lotus for 1984 since 1983 but they choose Mansel when they were already going to announce Senna in a couple weeks, the reason? Because the sponsor was british and they also wanted a british driver. Senna was so mad and hurt by that but since that day he "learned" how F1 works and for this reason he disallow Warwick from joining Lotus team years later, he thought: "british guy, british team,they're giving him so many compliments, well I've had enough of that".
I wish hi biggest misfortune at San Marino was just running out of petrol :(
1994 İmola'da 6.turda fark etti direksiyon sorunu keşke 7.tura gelmeden bitirseydi yarışı. Senna her zaman fazla risk alan bir F1 pilotuydu.
He always rated the British track marshals as the best in the world, with very good reason. Top man. 😎
And F1 rates them so highly they don't even pay them. It's criminal.
Never seen this footage before, kudos
Legendary man . Legendary car .
Special man
During this time he lived in the same part of Reading as Kenneth Branagh, Mike Oldfield & Bryan Adams Tilehurst!
Senna sempre ❤
I wish the BBC still did F1
No F1 yet they still want to charge us a licence fee!
@@sej8806 to be fair (in my opinion) the BBC is pretty good bang for your buck. We still produce some of the most influential media in the world, it’s like one of the last things we lead globally in
Ife see this car in real Live today... such a cool locking car.. love it
He was amazingly humble
Great man beautiful car
SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!☝️☝️☝️🏁🏁🏁🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Of course not
We miss you Ayrton ❤
Beautiful video, a star was born. What a wonderfull personality, human. One of the best drivers ever in one of the beautiful car ever. In a few seeks from now its 1 may 2024: 30 years later, Ayrton is not forgetten (and Roland as well). RIP both heroes.
Unreal we lost him. Imaging the rest of the 90’s, Jim and Schumacher battling
His accent much stronger this time, naturally
Legend. Siempre SENNA.
Great classic Video😊 thanks for the upload 👍
Ayrton sempre dando orgulho a nós brasileiros. Nosso eterno ídolo. Descanse em paz 🙏🙏🙏
Verdadeiro Campeão humilde nosso sempre Campeão Airton Senna
Such a saint! RIP
What a nice joung man! I did´t hear the young Senna before. This Lotus is one of the most iconic and beautiful F1 cars in history.
Haven't seen enough of him, the one and only, for how prior this is to his destiny.
So proud and elegant, you can see how much he enjoyed motor racing back then , its gutting hes no longer with us.😢 i might get the model kit of that car.
He still makes me cry.
If Ayrton had worked with Colin Chapman they would have done very very well.
I've often though of that too. Like another Clark.
@@solsol1624 well Ayrton gave. Great detail and Colin could have turned that into good lap time
@@chrisfleming5109 yes, Ron Denis said the same, and it was more important back then, data logging not being what is was even 5 years later. You seem a big Senna fan like me, have you heard the story told by Pat Simmons from Toleman when Senna clipped a wall and said it had moved? One of the US rounds iirc
@@solsol1624 I think senna is the greatest F1 driver but the absolute best of all was Jim Clark. So senna the greatest but Clark the best and if both were in same car on same track same day Clark would win all my money on Clark.
my favourite car as a young boy
thank you for uploading this
How pleasant was that to watch.
Happy and sad to watch at the same time.
RIP Ayrton ❤
Wow. First time I’ve seen that.
Fascinating!
Thanks for sharing !
Lindíssima Lotus preta. 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Simply The Best 😇
Great archive footage. Thanks
Never seen this footage before. Great upload.
Second season and already as composed and well spoken as the vet he'd become. Who'd have known when this aired what amazing and tragic things were to come and the impact he'd have on the sport and world for the rest of time.
Legend Senna!!! We miss u Ayrton
