"That day I suddenly realised that I was no longer driving it conscious. And I was in a different dimension, for me. The circuit for me was a tunnel, which I was just going, going, going. And I realised - I was well beyond my conscious understanding.” Ayrton Senna.

Rasputin Clinton Agreed. Today, Verstappen has the wet weather abilities/overtaking skills, Vettel has the car control and quick thinking, Hamilton has the one-lap pace, Ricciardo has the consistency and flair, but none have it all. There will never be another Senna.
There will never be another Senna, but there will be a lot more interesting results. Also, Senna and consistency should never be in the same sentence. He had one of the worst race completion records EVER. Pretend we had another Senna (but this Senna was 'perfect' as you describe), would you really want to watch a season where 1 driver dominated every single race? Or would you rather keep the victor a mystery each and every race where realistically there's 3-6 consistent and hungry drivers wanting more wins. Hmmm... But anyway I'll leave you with that thought, enjoy dreaming of your perfect Ayrton.

NOT against a guy with a car from the same team. Not against the TOP DOG of those days that was competing at the SAME condition. This day Senna was really in another dimension, supernatural drive.
Psychedelic isn't the right word. As Senna said, it's a transformation of consciousness, achieved in exactly the same way as ancient Taoist sexual practices of moving, circulating and storing energy, resulting in multiple orgasms that eventually build so high that it dissolves physical boundaries, potentially leading to a transformation of consciousness. Very few Taoist practitioners have ever achieved this state, even after decades of disciplined practice. And here's Senna doing it in a formula 1 car...
Crashing was irrelevant, Prost winning was irrelevant. He reached perfection on those previous laps. It was the apex of race driving, it's gonna take years for some other driver to reach this peculiar peak.
I see the comments on unprofessional and so on because of his lead and the crash and the team... when I watch this I see a man in competition with none other than himself. At this point it wasn’t about the race. It was about the purist form of his racing spirit. He was in the zone chasing absolute perfection on the track for himself. I can’t think of a more noble characteristic for a human being. To pursue excellence at the highest level of whatever it is you’re doing. The fact that he crashed I couldn’t care less about. I have the utmost respect for him for going after it. This footage is an example of him growing personally. And the crash, without a doubt, was yet more lesson for him to grow as a human being. It’s beautiful to watch.
A few of us will understand... I agree with you... Even after hitting the wall, no one cared about that. He was pure racing, which achieved the limitless. Legend forever ❤️
No matter how many years will pass Senna will be the best driver and this bacause he had the ability to drive the whole race like he drove a qualyfying session
Fastest? Probably. Best? Cannot agree. When he avoided the DNF he was among (and maybe) the greatest, but those DNFs were plentiful. As in this case, having almost a minute of lead over 2nd place and hitting a wall because you were too dense to ease up just a little? Hardly the behavior of a great race driver, or should I say great race winner/champion. That he managed to win those championships despite so many DNFs is a testament to his skill though.
@@EdBert but see, it's not always about winning.. Yes, you could have just slowed down and won the race, but the fact he tried to go all out is what made the difference, and also what makes this that more amazing since he was willing enough to put a win on the line just to go all out like that.. Senna was all about going all in and he wasn't one to just ease up just cuz it was an easy victory, he did it because he loved racing and wanted to give it his all, high risk high reward racing, and that's why even when he DNF, it was amazing because he was always like this in every race he was in and gave it 100% .. Now, I'm not remotely close to being like a huge Senna fan or anything, but the reason I can respect him like that on that level is because he went all out regardless of winning or not.. He was more in pursuit of outdoing everyone else and seeing what he was capable of at full throttle, even if it did cost him the race, which is probably why he's loved so much..
@@jordanprice9285 I'm in complete agreement with you, but my point is about the terminology. Greatest driver ever? At the peak? Penultimate performance? YES! Senna is your man. I was thinking more in the terms of a professional driver, trying to maximize points/championships and therefor sponsors and employers. I adore, no I love, Ayrton for the years of entertainment he provided. The Senna/Prost/Mansell days were among the greatest of all time, I'm too young to remember Clarke and just barely Stewart. I was just lamenting that if Senna had a little bit more of the professional attitude that time than the monster/alpha/ego/whatever...his stats would look better then they do. {CHEERS!}
@@EdBert oh no I totally agree with that, but I personally believe the reason why he DNF'ed a lot is because I've seen that the EF15B he had in the Lotus for both years wasn't as reliable as far as the Honda Engines were, despite being one of the more powerful on the field.. Once he got to Honda engines he was almost there in 87 but I don't think he honed his skills quite yet until 1988 but I do agree about the points system stuff.. That went to Prost cuz he knew how all that worked since he had experience and such wayy before Senna showed up on the scene.. And tbh, I think he was learning a lot about that from Alain is how he ended up using that to his advantage in the last 1990 GP race to win the championship.. But yes, I agree and i do think that had he lived, he probably would have found a way to do so much easier like Alain after being in F1 so long
He wanted show to everyone to be the greatest driver all time. Was captured and deeply absorbed in a fight against the time. No opponents, nothing else around, just the road and his tempre. Was extremaly conscious, but also totally no conscious about the useless to push at the limit. In front of him only one opponent: himself. Extraordinary images for understund the man behind the legend...
Сенна, лучший гонщик за всю историю Формулы-1, ни до, ни после, никто даже близко не смог подойти. Легенду делают не количество побед. Сенна - лучший, навсегда.
That's incredible, he said he was in a tunnel and no control over himself, that is just exactly another dimension, he was so in tune that fear had no hold whatsoever. What a feeling that is.......
Yes. He could've won seven consecutive times. And if you remember the race in 1984 in which he finished second but the race was red flagged due to heavy rain. So in potential, Senna could easily have won 8 times in Monaco, 7 of which are consecutive. If you consider that he raced only 10 years in Formula 1, that's whole another level.
@@snapsoundsss not only in the exact same car, but Prost was much better at adjusting the car than Senna was. His engineer said Senna would often ask him to just "put whatever setting Prost is using" and adjust to it. So Prost arguably even had an advantage in terms of car settings.
His unique technique (especially under the rain), his obsession to win, his courage to keep pushing it to the limit when nobody else would do so, his incomparable speed, his unbelievable laps in qualifying, the miracles he performed (mostly when didn’t have the fastest car in his hands): that’s why Ayrton Senna da Silva will always be simply the best.
It's amazing that a driver can be this far ahead of everyone and still drive like he's racing for first place. That's what made this man the best driver ever, he wasn't racing against anyone other than himself and the course.
Bentwito Senna was the one who lied and apologised for his behaviour at the interview, Stewart told the truth which was not what Senna wanted to hear. Senna fanboys like you never tell the truth.
@@barrierodliffe4155 Stewart stated that Senna was involved in more collisions than the total collisions of all the previous champions put together. You will prove to be the smuck I know you are if you even try to defend that allegation.
Bentwito Senna did cause or was involved in more collisions than all previous champions put together. I know you are a real Senna fanboy and hater of the best driver of his time. S mucky boy.
Nikko3001 Its a common feeling for me and I'm guessing many other people. When league racing im so concentrated on the screen and corners I'm hardly having conscious thoughts. I once felt very faint after lapping suzuka. That's how much it mentally drains you.
Yeh it's called the zone? Maybe you guys heard of it or not. It can feel quite extraordinary. A good description is the lack of conscious thought and fucken spot on intuition. It's a kind of brain dead impulsive state that happens to be world class and sometimes spooky. It's you brain in a singular force of motivation and pure fucken concentration such that there isn't any room for analytical thought. It's the serene hum of your brain revving at 18000 rpm such that it's sound like a note on a saxophone rather than work, effort or choice. Your sense of agency takes a back seat as an observer and it is this that makes you say shit like I saw god. Whether you see him or not it is indeed you operating at your absolute highest throughput short of being suddenly chased by a sabre tooth tiger.
@@jakubswatowski1007 BUT THAT WAS REAL RACING, NO BULLSHIT, LAPS AND LAPS, NO VSC NO SAFETY CAR, JUST GOING AND GOING FASTER EVERY TIME.... I HAVE TO SAY F1 PRE 93 WAS LEGENDARY.
A intenção dele era simplesmente colocar uma volta em cima do segundo colocado, o Alan Prost. Se tivesse conseguido, seria um feito extraordinário. Um recorde absoluto que certamente não seria feito por mais ninguém na história da F1 nesta pista.
E ele só não conseguiu porque a própria equipe o atrapalhou mandando ele diminuir o ritmo e acabou se desconcentrando e bateu porque ele só sabia andar no limite estando na frente ou atrás
@@raimundosalomaoeanakarlasa3661 sem querer diminuir o feito, essa diferença toda de quase um minuto foi pq o prost largou mal e ficou preso atrás do Alberto se não me engano, quando ele conseguiu ultrapassar, começou a fazer volta record e começou a tirar a diferença pro Senna, que respondeu com volta record tbm, enquanto o jo Ramires estava falando pro Ayrton reduzir o ritmo, pq era impossível para o Alain tirar tamanha diferença. Quando o Senna reduziu o ritmo, perdeu concentração e deu nisso.
@@tbg008 Senna deu uma vacilada monstro esse dia, e acho que mesmo se Prost não perdesse tempo com Berger a diferença seria grande, não de quase um minuto e muito menos uma volta mais seria grande
First of all there is only one God. Senna knew that he had a gift from God. He was a great driver and a great person but the fact that he died shows that he was just as human as all of us.
My knowledge comes from the Word of God. I know that there is one God because when I pray God answers my prayers. I was lost but now I'm found, I was blind but now I see. If you seek God with all your heart and read his Word you will find Him. God bless you brother. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7
One of the best descriptions of the state of FLOW: "That day I suddenly realized that I was no longer driving it conscious. And I was in a different dimension, for me. The circuit for me was a tunnel, which I was just going, going, going. And I realized - I was well beyond my conscious understanding.” Ayrton Senna.
Estava assistindo esta corrida ao vivo, a TV nem mostrava mais o Senna lá na frente...ele ia dar uma volta no segundo colocado, com carro igual, nada mais nada menos que Alain Prost...seriam 7 vitórias seguidas em Mônaco...amazing
On today's date, 27 years ago, the greatest left us. Never forgotten!!! This video summarised Senna's view on racing and life itself. Slowing down was NEVER an option, even if it meant crashing like this and losing points for championship. He had to do it HIS way, or it was not racing. RIP Ayrton, thank You for being a huge part of my life. ❤
Only Brazilians really know the importance of this guy in our lives... He made us very happy, proud of our nationality beside ours politic and socioeconomic problems...He was designed by God for running.. I was a child when he passed away.. but Miss him a lot . RIP legend and my eternal idol.
Not only Brazilians but also Japanese people know that. Because Ayrton Senna won many races on the Honda enjines. He made HONDA global brand. Ayrton Senna was a superstar for Japanese people in late 1980's~early 1990's.
Have so much respect for this man, I just find it amazing that he is and still is the best of the best. And isnt at all arrogant, not many people can do that. What a brilliant person I would of loved to have met him. No one will ever be as good as Arytron senna, No-one. R.I.P Aryton senna
Senna o maior pilotos de F1 de todos os tempos. Essa batida de Senna não foi erro dele, mais sim sua equipe que tirou sua concentração devido a grande humilhação que Prost estava passando que estava em segundo e quase um minuto de Senna, uma eternidade na F1.
Barring the crash with 10 laps to go, this was the only weekend of Senna's career in which he drove so unbelieveably well, so many levels above any other driver, that even he couldn't fully understand it. He usually had a clear understansding of everything he did in a Grand Prix car, but to be honest, driving subconciously to an extraordinary degree isn't really that bad a problem to have! That's how good he was on his absolute best days. Utterly incredible.
If you know the book "The Inner Game", by Tim Gallway, you'll understand that Senna was purely commited to his self 2 while flying through the streets of Monaco, in the most precious focus that exists in life. Than, the team by radio applied him an external interference to 'slow down' what we identify as a self 1 activation, taking him out of his sublime focus.
Prost was going as fast at the time, they were trading fastest laps and Prost got the same message, he did slow down, Senna crashed. Who was more focussed on driving?
@@barrierodliffe4155 Senna, já que parece que estava em outra dimensão, quando pediram pra diminuir, é como se voltasse a realidade, o que o desconcentrou totalmente.
@@abraaolemos4448 In other words Senna was not concentrating on his driving, not a sign of a good driver and if he was easily distracted that is also not a sign of a good driver.
The fact that he didn't slow down when he was told to. Thats another thing that made him so good. Never would he not give it absolutely EVERYTHING, doesn't matter how far ahead he is.
Для меня Айртон Сенна был не просто великим пилотом F-1,а ещё большим интеллектуалом и художником, творцом на трассе,и то что он вытворял в гонках приводило в восторг не зависимо от результата,как живописец импровизатор каждый раз создавал что то фантастическое спантанное и если хотите сюрреалистические,это был Гений Формулы-1
This video, this race was one of the defining events of ayrton's life, and i feel priviledged to have been able to witness it, even if only on film. My understanding of life has increased immeasurably thanks to people like ayrton. Senna: more than a racing driver, gone but not forgotten. RIP.
Prost has even admitted finally all these years later..if you want the best driver, and you want to win the championship, then you go and pick the quickest driver. And the one you pick is Ayrton Senna. Every time. Regardless. Nobody was better than Ayrton. Michael knew this too. Coming from me, nobody is better than Ayrton and I always knew this. Some people disagree. I worked with Ayrton, I tried to beat him, sometimes i did. But I always knew deep down Ayrton was sublime, superior. Imagine he raced ten more years... how many championships?
cool chat man. Glad this didnt end in some ridiculous argument!!! I love Schumacher :( and how he is no longer with us so to speak. Im glad the man behind Senna was "Next in line" so to speak! Senna and Schuey forever the greatest two. Debate forever.
dannymac322 He would have won about seven. I predict he would lose the 94 and 95 championships. He would go on to win 96 and 97, then would move to McLaren and win in 98 and retire.
Pero Perhan he didnt quit the sport coz of senna,u idiot,he went to ferrari and then to williams in 93 for 1 season..he didnt want senna as a team mate that,s all...ya drama queen
Pero Perhan as for bein super fast lmao are you for real? 2 poles per year on average,regularly out qualified by senna in equal cars..senna was super fast,prost was better at preserving fuel and tyres and also was happy to finish 2nd or 3rd or in the points whereas senna only wanted to win....you know nothing
Senna always went flat out in every race and wanted to win by the biggest margin possible, because of this he did crash sometimes when he could of easily cruised to the finish line, but that wasn't Ayrton's style. He could of won more races / world championships if he drove more cautiously but that's not proper racing. The last ever true F1 racer, F1 drivers now don't go flat out and risk everything like Senna did.
Senna was also deeply religious and didn't fear dying in the slightest. His only reason to live was to go fast, he lived for nothing more. If anything dying to him was just a way to get closer to god. You cant expect everyone to be that intense. Drivers these days drive more cautiously because they do fear death, they want to continue to race. Senna was a great driver but he could occasionally be reckless.
Andy Terrazas I wouldn't say Senna was reckless....I'd say he was very very confident in his own ability, to be able to take any corner faster than he had done previously and for the car to stay glued to the track.
If Ayrton raced in modern 2014 F1 he would be seen as a psychopath for taking that much risk and would probably get penalized by the FIA for dangerous driving...
Ivan A. i really really laught it a lot good one psycopath lmano curve on max rev at the top many driver are contract drivin... now they alonmost keep it safe... excpect guy like raikkonene alonso hamilton Man like Senna was flat point
SENNA!!! será recordado por siempre cómo el más veloz, toda mi vida he admirado al gran Cenna, una leyenda. cada vez que veo una carrera de Cenna siento mucha emoción! por que tenia que morir tan joven? :(
Senna, Ronaldo, Gustavo Kuerten, this three brazilians sportsman will never die. Senna still makes me cry when I watch him on action. I grew up watching Senna fighting against Piquet, Lauda, Prost, Mansell, and the young Schummacher. His talent was too much above the others, Senna was a true pilot.
nessa época não tinha os botoes nos volantes, o cambio era de 6 marchas manual e o motor tinha 1100 cavalos força, era um monstro que o piloto tinha que dominar, nessa epoca existia sim os grandes dominadores da arte de pilotar um carro nervosíssimo, Vettel and cia jamais pilotaria um carro como a Maclarem que sena pilotava.good times. .
Retificando, o motor da Mclaren de Senna tinha 1250 cavalos (450 a mais do que os carrinhos de hoje) e com turbo ainda para completar.... Olhe o que o Berger (amigo de Senna), disse em um documentário sobre Senna: "NAQUELE TEMPO ERA COISA DE MACHO, HOJE PARECE MAIS CORRIDA PARA MOÇAS".
nossa era bom demais eu vivi este sonho, e sinto muito orgulho de ser brasileiro pelo exemplo que ele deu ao mundo, aqui pode ter gente muito boa, as melhores do mundo.
Esse carro na pista era limitado pelo regulamento FIA que nesse ano limitou o combustível à 150 litros por corrida, a pressão do turbo de 2.5 BAR que era 4.0 mas a Honda diminuiu a fim de maior durabilidade e menor consumo de combustível e na pista era no máximo 650 cv.
An experience of total control of something Its like a bigger force lead your whole body to do something Your reflexes are 10x faster Everyone can have such an amazing experience But just few are ready to do what it takes to have it Senna was one of them Genius Absolutelly poetry in driving form
Lewis eat your heart out. SENNA, still, and always will be the BEST ever. Not too mention an inspiration not just too race car drivers but too everyday people as well.
That onboard footage was not from the 1988 Monaco Grand Prix. That year the car had 1.5 Turbo V6 engine. This has to be 1989/90 it's a clearly a V10 engine noise!
@@viiiscount In 88 there was sadly no camera on the McLaren in Monaco. You can also see it in the sequence after Senna hit the wall. And the sound is clearly the V10 revving above 12k rpm.
@@viiiscount also the helmets are different, when he crashes he's using his 88 helmet, with a Black "Hugo Boss" sponsor. Onboard he's using another helmet with 2 white sponsors.
Honda V10 for sure. Not the turbo 6. There is no onboard footage from Senna's car from the 88' monaco GP. So basically this is a lie. Faulty advertising? LOL
The crash dosent matter at all, that circuit was a classic for him, Werent only about driving in auto mode bc of how much he decorated the path and learned that max of it, that overhuman feeling that he said, proves that his performance, was by far, beyond perfection...
Senna was a high performance champion. He was so hyper focused, that the trophy didn't matter anymore. He was pushing himself, he wanted to test his limits, he wanted to run against his shadow. He entered the flow state, there was nothing more on his way. This is the purest level of challenging, to challenge yourself surpassing the peak of high performance. His focus broke when the radio told 'slow down'. He crashed, but in his soul, he transcended
+Jason Holliday Not pissed off, but kinda thrown out of balance. The message from the pit wall made him make the mistake because he was so concentrated and suddenly he heard that useless message. Yes, Mclaren was worried about the car and a possibiltty of Senna making a mistake, but they shouldn't have done that especially given that the cars were much more difficult to drive back then. Even today drivers sometimes don't like that the engineer tells them something when they're taking a corner. The example is Lewis Hamilton this year in Malaysia when he was upset about that and responded in the team radio: ''Don't talk to me through the corners, i almost went off!'' So yeah...
It's obviously not 1988 footage, they didn't have onboard cameras on the Mclaren at the time. So this was a nice alternative. I think it's 1990 footage here.
this is surreal! this men dominated not only the race but the car! a 1200hp monster without servo and with manual gearchange! one of his world championships is worth five of schumachers! it is a big big loss for the sport in general ! a great human with style and honest approach! my heart is broken in 2019
This mp4/4 never had 1200 hp, in race trim it had around 650. The only time that we saw hp numbers that high was in 1986 during qualifying but that was it. In race trim, those cars only had 600-800 hp.

Once he got to Honda engines he was almost there in 87 but I don't think he honed his skills quite yet until 1988 but I do agree about the points system stuff.. That went to Prost cuz he knew how all that worked since he had experience and such wayy before Senna showed up on the scene.. And tbh, I think he was learning a lot about that from Alain is how he ended up using that to his advantage in the last 1990 GP race to win the championship.. But yes, I agree and i do think that had he lived, he probably would have found a way to do so much easier like Alain after being in F1 so long
Nick Karipidis There was another driver who could do that and you know who he is.
He wanted show to everyone to be the greatest driver all time. Was captured and deeply absorbed in a fight against the time. No opponents, nothing else around, just the road and his tempre. Was extremaly conscious, but also totally no conscious about the useless to push at the limit. In front of him only one opponent: himself. Extraordinary images for understund the man behind the legend...
+Paolo Ciarpaglini nice words ! the real true is for SENNA your only opponent was the time, he never could be satisfacted.
+Paolo Ciarpaglini so true!!!
Dont think he wanted to show he was better. He just liked to race very much, and the result was this: faster!
O
I understand you comment well. A man alone and that is the beauty of it.
This is why 30 years later we don't care who won that race. This is why true legends are forever. Ayrton Senna, the last true F1 race driver.
No
fuck I hate you Senna fanboys, you act as if he was some sort of god. Just because he died doesn't mean he's an angel
Lewis and Michael idolized this man, for a reason
Сенна, лучший гонщик за всю историю Формулы-1, ни до, ни после, никто даже близко не смог подойти. Легенду делают не количество побед. Сенна - лучший, навсегда.
That's incredible, he said he was in a tunnel and no control over himself, that is just exactly another dimension, he was so in tune that fear had no hold whatsoever. What a feeling that is.......
It cracks me up that Ayrton Senna could've won at Monaco seven times because in '88 he was hot-lapping. Legend
Yes. He could've won seven consecutive times. And if you remember the race in 1984 in which he finished second but the race was red flagged due to heavy rain. So in potential, Senna could easily have won 8 times in Monaco, 7 of which are consecutive. If you consider that he raced only 10 years in Formula 1, that's whole another level.
Actually 8 times if you count the first year in the tolman, race cut short for Prost
These cars are even harder to drive than V10 F1
@@Ever443 yes,people forget it wouldve been 8times,goddamn did he drive the monkeys and babanas out of that toleman

55 seconds.. to Alain Prost !!!! OMG!
Oh yeah and Alain prost was s double world champion
In the exact same car
And binned it
@@snapsoundsss not only in the exact same car, but Prost was much better at adjusting the car than Senna was. His engineer said Senna would often ask him to just "put whatever setting Prost is using" and adjust to it. So Prost arguably even had an advantage in terms of car settings.
55 seconds too many it seemed that day
His unique technique (especially under the rain), his obsession to win, his courage to keep pushing it to the limit when nobody else would do so, his incomparable speed, his unbelievable laps in qualifying, the miracles he performed (mostly when didn’t have the fastest car in his hands): that’s why Ayrton Senna da Silva will always be simply the best.
It's amazing that a driver can be this far ahead of everyone and still drive like he's racing for first place. That's what made this man the best driver ever, he wasn't racing against anyone other than himself and the course.
"when you no longer go for a gap that exists you are no longer a racing driver"
-Ayrton Senna
When you keep crashing you are not a good driver. Senna later apologized to Jackie Stewart for his outburst
@@barrierodliffe4155 Did Stewart apologize to Senna for the bullshit he sprouted at the same interview?
Bentwito Senna was the one who lied and apologised for his behaviour at the interview, Stewart told the truth which was not what Senna wanted to hear. Senna fanboys like you never tell the truth.
@@barrierodliffe4155 Stewart stated that Senna was involved in more collisions than the total collisions of all the previous champions put together. You will prove to be the smuck I know you are if you even try to defend that allegation.
Bentwito Senna did cause or was involved in more collisions than all previous champions put together. I know you are a real Senna fanboy and hater of the best driver of his time. S mucky boy.
It's amazing that Senna can put himself into a subconscious state that allows him to have almost perfect reaction times.
Nikko3001 Its a common feeling for me and I'm guessing many other people. When league racing im so concentrated on the screen and corners I'm hardly having conscious thoughts. I once felt very faint after lapping suzuka. That's how much it mentally drains you.
That of not being tense but ready, not thinking but not dreaming, not being rigidly set but flexible. Aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.
Yeh it's called the zone? Maybe you guys heard of it or not. It can feel quite extraordinary. A good description is the lack of conscious thought and fucken spot on intuition. It's a kind of brain dead impulsive state that happens to be world class and sometimes spooky. It's you brain in a singular force of motivation and pure fucken concentration such that there isn't any room for analytical thought. It's the serene hum of your brain revving at 18000 rpm such that it's sound like a note on a saxophone rather than work, effort or choice. Your sense of agency takes a back seat as an observer and it is this that makes you say shit like I saw god. Whether you see him or not it is indeed you operating at your absolute highest throughput short of being suddenly chased by a sabre tooth tiger.
its called ultrainstinct
Its called being in the zone. You are so focused that time slows down. It isn't hard to do if you know how.
gets told to slow down, crashes car. only way he knows to slow down
jajajajajaja :D
nils holgerson there was no need to slow down but only if the team didn't wanted to broadcast Alain Prost as the secondary pilot, the role Ayrton had
Telling him to slow down broke the internal rhythm that he had going. When he slowed down he lost his concentration and crashed.
He might have crashed because he consciously slowed down, taking him out of his grove.
I think senna was interrupt..just a opinion to me..
F1 has nothing to do with it anymore, miss those sunday glory days. Rest in Peace in the kindown of heaven Senna

Same…you’re not alone!
55 segundos... que pena que ya no se volverá a ver algo así en estos tiempos... grande Senna! The Boss
If it did happen today people would complain about it being boring or the team is cheating
THE LEGEND
A intenção dele era simplesmente colocar uma volta em cima do segundo colocado, o Alan Prost. Se tivesse conseguido, seria um feito extraordinário. Um recorde absoluto que certamente não seria feito por mais ninguém na história da F1 nesta pista.
Verdade o próprio Prost disse: " Ele não queria me vencer, queria me humilhar"
E ele só não conseguiu porque a própria equipe o atrapalhou mandando ele diminuir o ritmo e acabou se desconcentrando e bateu porque ele só sabia andar no limite estando na frente ou atrás
@@raimundosalomaoeanakarlasa3661 sem querer diminuir o feito, essa diferença toda de quase um minuto foi pq o prost largou mal e ficou preso atrás do Alberto se não me engano, quando ele conseguiu ultrapassar, começou a fazer volta record e começou a tirar a diferença pro Senna, que respondeu com volta record tbm, enquanto o jo Ramires estava falando pro Ayrton reduzir o ritmo, pq era impossível para o Alain tirar tamanha diferença. Quando o Senna reduziu o ritmo, perdeu concentração e deu nisso.
@@tbg008 Senna deu uma vacilada monstro esse dia, e acho que mesmo se Prost não perdesse tempo com Berger a diferença seria grande, não de quase um minuto e muito menos uma volta mais seria grande
COM CERTEZA 👍
Ayrton Senna was an Avatar of the sport!
We know that the Gods do not retire, they simply return to their place of origin.
First of all there is only one God. Senna knew that he had a gift from God. He was a great driver and a great person but the fact that he died shows that he was just as human as all of us.
My knowledge comes from the Word of God. I know that there is one God because when I pray God answers my prayers. I was lost but now I'm found, I was blind but now I see. If you seek God with all your heart and read his Word you will find Him. God bless you brother.

You do know Senna was a Christian right?
On today's date, 27 years ago, the greatest left us. Never forgotten!!! This video summarised Senna's view on racing and life itself. Slowing down was NEVER an option, even if it meant crashing like this and losing points for championship. He had to do it HIS way, or it was not racing. RIP Ayrton, thank You for being a huge part of my life. ❤
He was in another dimension. He was completely dedicated.
This guy is an absolute legend
Only Brazilians really know the importance of this guy in our lives... He made us very happy, proud of our nationality beside ours politic and socioeconomic problems...He was designed by God for running.. I was a child when he passed away.. but Miss him a lot . RIP legend and my eternal idol.
Verdade
Not only Brazilians but also Japanese people know that.
Because Ayrton Senna won many races on the Honda enjines.
He made HONDA global brand.
Ayrton Senna was a superstar for Japanese people in late 1980's~early 1990's.
Have so much respect for this man, I just find it amazing that he is and still is the best of the best. And isnt at all arrogant, not many people can do that. What a brilliant person I would of loved to have met him. No one will ever be as good as Arytron senna, No-one.
R.I.P Aryton senna
No one...
Senna o maior pilotos de F1 de todos os tempos. Essa batida de Senna não foi erro dele, mais sim sua equipe que tirou sua concentração devido a grande humilhação que Prost estava passando que estava em segundo e quase um minuto de Senna, uma eternidade na F1.
Truly the greatest f1 driver of all time r.i.p ayrton!!
Not even close.
Non è solo tecnica......Senna era veramente baciato da qualcosa di diverso!Ci manchi♥️🏁
The overtake off the racing line through Sainte Devote. Mental. Gets me every time. Only senna can do that.
Barring the crash with 10 laps to go, this was the only weekend of Senna's career in which he drove so unbelieveably well, so many levels above any other driver, that even he couldn't fully understand it. He usually had a clear understansding of everything he did in a Grand Prix car, but to be honest, driving subconciously to an extraordinary degree isn't really that bad a problem to have! That's how good he was on his absolute best days. Utterly incredible.
Yep, it’s simply being “in the zone”.
Senna all these years later still has a way of captivating anybody who comes across his legacy.... i am obsessed!!!
Melhor de todos os tempos, penso em Senna todos os dias da minha vida .
A good hero indeed.
Me too 🙏 He is a Hero to me.

I never tire of watching this video.

55 seconds difference and he was still driving like chasing the leader, he was definitely in another dimension. Such a legend!
The best pilot ever!
Il migliore di tutti...grande..grandissimo..insuperabile...
If you know the book "The Inner Game", by Tim Gallway, you'll understand that Senna was purely commited to his self 2 while flying through the streets of Monaco, in the most precious focus that exists in life. Than, the team by radio applied him an external interference to 'slow down' what we identify as a self 1 activation, taking him out of his sublime focus.
Man I thought exactly the same!
Prost was going as fast at the time, they were trading fastest laps and Prost got the same message, he did slow down, Senna crashed. Who was more focussed on driving?
@@barrierodliffe4155 Senna, já que parece que estava em outra dimensão, quando pediram pra diminuir, é como se voltasse a realidade, o que o desconcentrou totalmente.
@@abraaolemos4448 In other words Senna was not concentrating on his driving, not a sign of a good driver and if he was easily distracted that is also not a sign of a good driver.
The team crashed him by breaking his focus
Out of all the sports icons that have passed, I miss him most. It was an honor to have been able to see him drive.

Extreme case? In 1988 from 16 races these two, racing for same team won 15. In 2019 there were 6 races won by someone else than the top two.
@@Q3Pawulon doesn't matter....still boring nowadays in comparsion. Numb and boring.
The fact that he didn't slow down when he was told to. Thats another thing that made him so good. Never would he not give it absolutely EVERYTHING, doesn't matter how far ahead he is.
Un très bel hommage au regretté Ayrton Senna un très grand champion (3 fois champion du monde) et un magicien de la formule 1.
Best ever..hands down. Whilst you can't compare drivers, lookout the way he man handled the car whilst shifting gears...incredible control.
Для меня Айртон Сенна был не просто великим пилотом F-1,а ещё большим интеллектуалом и художником, творцом на трассе,и то что он вытворял в гонках приводило в восторг не зависимо от результата,как живописец импровизатор каждый раз создавал что то фантастическое спантанное и если хотите сюрреалистические,это был Гений Формулы-1
THAT IS WHEN F1 WAS PERFECT !
Ra Kins Mclaren Honda and Senna! Best performer in F1 ever
This video, this race was one of the defining events of ayrton's life, and i feel priviledged to have been able to witness it, even if only on film. My understanding of life has increased immeasurably thanks to people like ayrton. Senna: more than a racing driver, gone but not forgotten. RIP.
Prost has even admitted finally all these years later..if you want the best driver, and you want to win the championship, then you go and pick the quickest driver. And the one you pick is Ayrton Senna. Every time. Regardless. Nobody was better than Ayrton. Michael knew this too. Coming from me, nobody is better than Ayrton and I always knew this. Some people disagree. I worked with Ayrton, I tried to beat him, sometimes i did. But I always knew deep down Ayrton was sublime, superior. Imagine he raced ten more years... how many championships?
cool chat man. Glad this didnt end in some ridiculous argument!!! I love Schumacher :( and how he is no longer with us so to speak. Im glad the man behind Senna was "Next in line" so to speak! Senna and Schuey forever the greatest two. Debate forever.
dannymac322 He would have won about seven.
I predict he would lose the 94 and 95 championships. He would go on to win 96 and 97, then would move to McLaren and win in 98 and retire.
Pero Perhan he didnt quit the sport coz of senna,u idiot,he went to ferrari and then to williams in 93 for 1 season..he didnt want senna as a team mate that,s all...ya drama queen
Pero Perhan as for bein super fast lmao are you for real? 2 poles per year on average,regularly out qualified by senna in equal cars..senna was super fast,prost was better at preserving fuel and tyres and also was happy to finish 2nd or 3rd or in the points whereas senna only wanted to win....you know nothing
Thats a great story that I'd love to read up on. Where did you read/hear that?
Después de tantos años Ayrton, sólo puedo puedo deducir que falleciste porque "eras de otro mundo". Demasiado talento para ser terrenal!!!
I'm Brazilian, Senna will always be our hero, we love Senna forever
forever the BOSS.
Allways on the limit. That's a true racer. That's Senna!
true drivers stay on the limit always. Milk the car for all its got
Ayrton and the mighty mp4/4 = F1 perfection.
You will never see or feel anything in modern F1 that will compare to this.
How fortunate that this day was caught through an onboard camera.
SENNA 🏎️
nothing but pure commitment and dedication to the sport,,,no compromise ...
Senna always went flat out in every race and wanted to win by the biggest margin possible, because of this he did crash sometimes when he could of easily cruised to the finish line, but that wasn't Ayrton's style. He could of won more races / world championships if he drove more cautiously but that's not proper racing. The last ever true F1 racer, F1 drivers now don't go flat out and risk everything like Senna did.
Well spoken, got me thinking positive about this accident! :)
Senna was also deeply religious and didn't fear dying in the slightest. His only reason to live was to go fast, he lived for nothing more. If anything dying to him was just a way to get closer to god. You cant expect everyone to be that intense. Drivers these days drive more cautiously because they do fear death, they want to continue to race. Senna was a great driver but he could occasionally be reckless.
Andy Terrazas I wouldn't say Senna was reckless....I'd say he was very very confident in his own ability, to be able to take any corner faster than he had done previously and for the car to stay glued to the track.
If Ayrton raced in modern 2014 F1 he would be seen as a psychopath for taking that much risk and would probably get penalized by the FIA for dangerous driving...
Ivan A. i really really laught it a lot good one psycopath lmano curve on max rev at the top many driver are contract drivin... now they alonmost keep it safe... excpect guy like raikkonene alonso hamilton Man like Senna was flat point
This dude is the quickest thing I have ever seen in my life. Wow !!!!!
Every 500 years only these kind of people will born, he is unbelievable and unbeatable forever. Up to the world ends his name will standstill.
its a ufforic feeling to drive with such focus and not realize it not a race against others anymore, just you and your spirit. nothing else matters
senna gives me goosebumps.....a truly unique competitor, he couldn't stop. i wish he had though.
Não esqueço dessa corrida , capa de eaportes da folha de São Paulo na segunda-feira , " O Barbeiro de Mônaco " .

Senna was in meditation while driving, this is insane =0
Acho que foi aí que Prost ficou sem entender como Senna fez a pole!!!! Simplesmente espetacular!!!!
what makes it better is how in tune Senna is with the world and the quote he came up with on the lap
Senna, Ronaldo, Gustavo Kuerten, this three brazilians sportsman will never die. Senna still makes me cry when I watch him on action. I grew up watching Senna fighting against Piquet, Lauda, Prost, Mansell, and the young Schummacher. His talent was too much above the others, Senna was a true pilot.

nessa época não tinha os botoes nos volantes, o cambio era de 6 marchas manual e o motor tinha 1100 cavalos força, era um monstro que o piloto tinha que dominar, nessa epoca existia sim os grandes dominadores da arte de pilotar um carro nervosíssimo, Vettel and cia jamais pilotaria um carro como a Maclarem que sena pilotava.good times. .
Retificando, o motor da Mclaren de Senna tinha 1250 cavalos (450 a mais do que os carrinhos de hoje) e com turbo ainda para completar....
Olhe o que o Berger (amigo de Senna), disse em um documentário sobre Senna:
"NAQUELE TEMPO ERA COISA DE MACHO, HOJE PARECE MAIS CORRIDA PARA MOÇAS".
nossa era bom demais eu vivi este sonho, e sinto muito orgulho de ser brasileiro pelo exemplo que ele deu ao mundo, aqui pode ter gente muito boa, as melhores do mundo.
***** E as piores também
Esse carro na pista era limitado pelo regulamento FIA que nesse ano limitou o combustível à 150 litros por corrida, a pressão do turbo de 2.5 BAR que era 4.0 mas a Honda diminuiu a fim de maior durabilidade e menor consumo de combustível e na pista era no máximo 650 cv.
epa essa epoca aí foi 88,89, 90 os motores eram de 1100cv, só depois em 91 que foi modificado a questão da potencia. vc tem quantos anos?

But crashed.
And why he was pushing so much? There is a lot of unknown for us.
Lu Why? It’s simple, we are talking about Senna and winning wasn’t enough for him. That’s what made him a Legend
That onboard footage was not from the 1988 Monaco Grand Prix. That year the car had 1.5 Turbo V6 engine. This has to be 1989/90 it's a clearly a V10 engine noise!
No that is the sound of the v6, as remember the v6 used in 1988 sounded very different and much more like a v12
@@viiiscount In 88 there was sadly no camera on the McLaren in Monaco. You can also see it in the sequence after Senna hit the wall. And the sound is clearly the V10 revving above 12k rpm.
@@viiiscount also the helmets are different, when he crashes he's using his 88 helmet, with a Black "Hugo Boss" sponsor.
Onboard he's using another helmet with 2 white sponsors.
There's no recording of the actual lap Senna is referring to.
Honda V10 for sure. Not the turbo 6. There is no onboard footage from Senna's car from the 88' monaco GP. So basically this is a lie. Faulty advertising? LOL
The crash dosent matter at all, that circuit was a classic for him, Werent only about driving in auto mode bc of how much he decorated the path and learned that max of it, that overhuman feeling that he said, proves that his performance, was by far, beyond perfection...
Here again after Nijigasaki Anime Season 2. This Senna's lap is still ALLTIME LEGENDARY.
Senna was a high performance champion. He was so hyper focused, that the trophy didn't matter anymore. He was pushing himself, he wanted to test his limits, he wanted to run against his shadow. He entered the flow state, there was nothing more on his way. This is the purest level of challenging, to challenge yourself surpassing the peak of high performance. His focus broke when the radio told 'slow down'. He crashed, but in his soul, he transcended
Who the hell tells someone to slow down in a race pissed senna off
+Jason Holliday Not pissed off, but kinda thrown out of balance. The message from the pit wall made him make the mistake because he was so concentrated and suddenly he heard that useless message. Yes, Mclaren was worried about the car and a possibiltty of Senna making a mistake, but they shouldn't have done that especially given that the cars were much more difficult to drive back then. Even today drivers sometimes don't like that the engineer tells them something when they're taking a corner. The example is Lewis Hamilton this year in Malaysia when he was upset about that and responded in the team radio: ''Don't talk to me through the corners, i almost went off!'' So yeah...
+Maciej Maciex yes and it is eben more than that. slow down and the temperature in the tires drop. It can also influence the balance.
I prefer Raikkonen when they break in, he cuts them off with "don't tell me how to drive, piss off"
Yeah, never tell Senna to slow down, he will go faster instead
Senna did not go faster he crashed, Prost won the race.
Pushing, pushing, pushing to the limit of the machine. There was no machine to develop speed in him. Really impressive.
There will never be an onboard that will best this. The sounds are almost ghostly and dosent feel real. It really is like watching a trance.
The on-board footage is the sound of the normally aspirated Honda V10 of 1989. They used the Honda turbo V6 in 88.
It's obviously not 1988 footage, they didn't have onboard cameras on the Mclaren at the time. So this was a nice alternative. I think it's 1990 footage here.
Quite incredible onboard footage. Senna was scary quick!, the 3 all time great drivers for me are Senna, Jim Clark & Fangio....then there’s the rest.
Brings a tear to the eye
One hand on the wheel shifting gears like a legend should
I still get goosebumps while watching this clip.
We still love him 30 years later (5/1/24)
this is surreal!
this men dominated not only the race but the car! a 1200hp monster without servo and with manual gearchange!
one of his world championships is worth five of schumachers! it is a big big loss for the sport in general ! a great human with style and honest approach!
my heart is broken in 2019
This mp4/4 never had 1200 hp, in race trim it had around 650. The only time that we saw hp numbers that high was in 1986 during qualifying but that was it. In race trim, those cars only had 600-800 hp.
O dia em que a maquina e o piloto entraram em uma sintonia perfeita ,,,, senna era foda!!
En la rueda de prensa Alain Prost dijo " no quería ganarme quería humillarme " Alain Prost era un súper piloto, el único que le hizo algo de sombra pero en su carrera deportiva coincido con el mejor piloto de todos los tiempos
Noone has ever driven so close to the walls,it was like he was going through them!
Remember watching this race just unbelievable driver senna was another class
That was probably the peak of human possibility to handle and drive a vehicle. Matchless and that never be repeated by someone.
