1985: Ayrton SENNA and his Lotus F1 car | Breakfast Time | Classic BBC Sport | BBC Archive 

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 !!!

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 ❤

Learn to spell

Who is Airton?

@@martf8014 Muy seguidor de él y no sabe escribir su nombre Ayrton. Saludos

@@martf8014 the best driver ever

​@@martf8014AYRTON IS BETTER THAN AIRTON :-)))

He seemed like a nice, gentle, humble man.

And already the best driver on the grid

Totalement d'accord avec vous !!!!

Totalement d'accord avec vous !!!!! Avec un fabuleux casque jaune !!!!!!

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

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..

Piquet is still alive.. Rest in peace Ayrton Senna

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.

I am sure Alain Prost would disagree with you!

In the documentary, the lady who became his girlfriend kissed him 91 92 93, and stopped. If only she had kissed him for 94.

@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 ^^

The true goat

Yes but is Ayrton fully in the car ? To my eyes he isn’t .

♥️🫶

❤❤

And F1 rates them so highly they don't even pay them. It's criminal.

Uau, congratulations for your words.

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.

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.

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".

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.

Indeed.

Herói é o Lula! E o Pelé.

​@@markymarco2570vsfd

​@@markymarco2570herói o caralho, apenas senna e Pelé, POLÍTICOS COMO LULA E BOLSONARO, NÃO SÃO HERÓIS!

Lula não é nada

1994 İmola'da 6.turda fark etti direksiyon sorunu keşke 7.tura gelmeden bitirseydi yarışı. Senna her zaman fazla risk alan bir F1 pilotuydu.

Of course not

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

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.
