30 YEAR Anniversary: A Story That Was Never Told 

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to watch this next - The Greatest Lap in F1 history: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NWgNYS2a68A.htmlsi=n9MorrwyVL2H-7lX

If you knew the story of the Hill family and the unfortunate plane crash with Graham Hill as the pilot 94-96 was unbelievably tough for Damon Hill personally and profesionally. People now may not think of him that highly but what a test of character he had to go through and he delivered brilliantly

Even 30 years later, it still feels like the day i saw it all unfold watching it live on tv. Heartbreaking. R.I.P Legend 😢

I miss him … NEVER be another like him . SENNA a name that will ALWAYS 👈 be the benchmark. 🇧🇷 RIP Ayrton

Senna. I will never get over it. Half my life ago and it still smashes me.

I am brazilian, 37 yr and I can still remember Senna's live coverage funeral on TV, it was lunch time and I was getting ready to go to school. It was a national tragedy. His last 2 girlfriends, HUGE celebrities in Brazil, we all still remember him with love and his girlfriend at the time still repeats to this day he didnt want to do that race and was very very upset with the car.

Greatest driver ever to sit in a f1 car. The man was a total god

Ayrton senna the best driver.

Just a year earlier, I was one of many who were astonished by Senna driving the greatest lap of all time at Donington.

The greatest driver of his generation is an understatement if it's Senna we're talking about.

If Ayrton Senna never raced for that bloody team he would still be alive today. The car was a bloody death trap. And Williams to this day should have been bought to justice over the great mans death.

The amount of footage you’ve used, in combination with your ability as a presenter, is excellent. I’ll be watching more!

Well told story and a wonderful tribute to both Hills. This touched me personally as I had the great pleasure of shaking Graham's hand as he worked the crowd after being presented his trophy by the Prince in '63. Still display the race poster un-stapled off a telephone pole for my by my dad. Sat front row center behind hay bales on the Gasworks hairpin. Ah; the great old days!

Damon did a fantastic job of galvanising the team after Senna's death, in the same way his father, Graham did with Lotus after Jim Clark's death, coincidentally both by winning the Spanish GP.

I have all the time in the wolrd for Damon Hill - a criminally underrated driver, and seems and absolute sweetheart of a bloke too. It's ironic that I now live not too far from where Damon Hill went to school and where his father was tragically killed in an aircrash, add to that I rented a room from a former classmate too.

😭🇧🇷 Always Senna .

SENNA LEGEND FOREVER 1994-2024 ÍMOLA.

I have the highest esteem for Damon Hill. His mental strength is unequalled in these circumstances. How he rose to the level he did to become world champion is something that should be told in a proper heroic Hollywood production.

Sad but true fact: Dale Earnhardt who had won Talladega dedicated the win in his memory before sharing the same demise 7 years later at the Daytona 500

I will never forget that day. I knew he was gone in the aftermath of the coverage. His body twitched before his head rolled and I knew he was gone. It was truly heartbreaking cos Ayrton was my hero.

Wow man this has been more entertaining than some official videos

I loved that man. I’m not Brazilian and I’m not gay. He always looked like the coolest guy around, a mans man yet humble looking. I was crushed when he died, I was angry. All 4 of my kids including my two sons were already born or I would have named one of my sons Ayrton. I named my dog Ayrton. Countless people would say oh that’s such an unusual name for a dog and I would lovingly tell them that he’s named after the late great Ayrton Senna.

I remember this all very well. To this day I still have a heavy heart when I think of the day we lost Senna. I probably always will.

This mini documentary is excellent. Well done. Throughly enjoyable

4:47 because Benetton was cheating with refueling

RIP Ayrton Senna

The GOAT. No one else comes close

So why would Hill be so emotional about Senna specifically? The only relevant story that's consistently never told any more about Williams and 1994 is about how the team and its drivers gave it all to avoid any accountability about Senna's death. Coulthard made the claim that the steering wheel movement was absolutely normal, even using a ridiculous video where the steering column was supposedly so flexible that the wheel could deflect for ten centimeters or more with no cause for concern. Hill made his infamous "I don't know" testimony, where he couldn't remember any modifications about the car, whether it had power steering, or even if Senna complained about the car, but he somehow had left a briefing convinced - of course, he couldn't remember exactly why - that Senna must have left the track for reasons other than his steering column braking: namely, driver error. I would suppose that's a greater indication about how much Hill cared than the fact that he and his team were happy that they managed to turn around their fortunes and win in Spain. The ones who took a stand like decent persons and deserve to be remembered for that where Pierluigi Martini, who maintained that Senna wouldn't have gone off at Tamburello without a mechanical fault, and Michele Alboreto, who was especially annoyed at the way this was being handled and said that Senna deserved at least not to be blamed for his own death.

...And without dirty moves, cheating and deliberate crashing Hill would have honoured Senna's death with a world championship.

Thanks Damon.

I have often wished I had had access to Formula 1 way earlier in life. But I'm glad I wasn't yet a fan when this happened. Selfishly, I'm glad I missed the horror of that weekend.

Almost as shocking as Senna's death was the Police investigation into the accident. I remember thinking how cruel to the team to not only be mourning the loss of a great driver, their driver but then having to defend themselves as the focus and blame quickly turned to Frank Williams and his team. They didn't deserve this and thankfully they were acquitted of any responsibility in his death. Great video,

Im cryng for all day 8 years old child ...😢

Senna is the goat of F1

There were 3 horrific accident that weekend... cars, drivers, sponsorships, all worth so much money...... Ruebens crash was awful, Roland died on the track, and effectively so did Ayrton... As soon as Ayrton,s head lolled sideways, he was gone... it was like his spirit uplifted and hovered... His friend arrived, to try and save him....Erik It was my birthday, and i watched that race, and cried and cried, i couldnt believe at first how it happened Many years later, i finally got to visit his statue at the Tamburello Corner, in Imola.... I got to "pay my respect" to the greatest driver of all time.... His passion, his manner, his faith... all made him a great human.... RIP to Ayrton....

The crazy fact is that Damon Hill won the Italian gp after the tragic weekend some monts ago in Imola.

Such a well done vid. So respectful and unapologetically raw. I remember watching the race as a kid and not really understanding what had happened. This really covered the event so well. Subbed.

I was in a bad place and I went all the way to Imola to speak to his statue 20 years ago. He was a special man and all the good ones get taken early…..so we can remember them

Senna is the perfect embodiment of a driver and a human being. He peaked my interest in Christianity and the lead me to a local church where a good friend of myn who was going down a bad bad path was saved. Not looked back since.

nobody talks about how good hakkinen was from 94 to 98 in a disaster of a car.

Great refreshing on the sad atmosphere of the year 94! Thanks for the video mate..

The era of Senna et al was the best F1 racing it was tragic that he lost his life at Imola but his spirit lives on

Wow what a job you have done putting this footage together. Well done! Thank you. RIP Ayrton Senna, in my opinion the best that’s ever been ❤️

I will always be a fan of Hill starting with number O 3:57 Senna being Senna .... great vidio

Damon Hill was severely underrated.

Willem Toet who was the head of aerodynamics at the time in Benetton, confirmed in an interview in recent years that the B194 did indeed use a Launch control system as well as traction control. Which explains why Schumacher usually had good starts. Just look at 14:12 the Benettons are the first to move in the entire grid

I never forgave Williams for this Rip Senna

Clark wasn’t only the greatest of his time but off all time said by a lot of people , fangio said that Clark is the best ..

Senna.Driven to perfection.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Beautiful bro! Always beautiful ❤

I love that quote from Ian Harrison; 'It's not in the rig, it's not on the floor, it's in the car' It reminds me of a quote from Robert Kubica at Monaco one year. His team were panicking about tyre choice until he told them that rain doesn't fall from a cloudless sky

Great video! I tend to steer clear of things surrounding senna’s passing. I appreciate the respectful nature of this movie!

That was brilliant! I already know all this, but I was still sitting on the edge of my seat. Very, very well done.

Excellent video ... superbly written, edited & presented. Thanks.

Damon Hill should have been a 2x F1 Champion...

thank you for sharing this

It's bizarre seeing how lax the safety regs were back then. And the pit stops, compared to today, gave drivers a chance to pitch camp and catch a catnap before continuing on in the race.

I was too in tears at the end. Wow, great vid! Thank you mate!

Really professionally put together, thank you.

Fantastic job thank you posting,

Quality content. Like many watching this video I'm a bitnof a senna fan but this pulls lots of things I've read together and excellently illustrated. Thank-you

amazing video! 😢

If only Senna had listened to Dr Sid Watkins who said to Senna “what else do you need to do? You’ve been world champion three times. You are obviously the quickest driver. Give it up and let’s go fishing”. Senna replied: “Sid, there are certain things over which we have no control. I cannot quit, I have to go on.” They were the last words he spoke to the Englishman.

Senna the GOAT

This was really well done. Thank you.

This was absolutely fantastic. Thank you for this. This was EPIC. THANK YOU 🙏🏼

I saw this live as a 12 year old on TV in Brisbane Australia.

I will never forget that May 1st. I was in Brazil at the time, I turned on the TV the moment the accident happened.

Thank you🙏🏻 the world needs new Senna content

Oooo... GOD, up there in the sky... 😪 Why he's gone so early...?! I was a child... and saw That bloody race... Today,... 30years just gone in a secand,, like it was... I will love and miss, and he will be always... Senna Forever... 🇧🇷

I just found your channel, and this is the first video I've watched. You are an incredible storyteller. I can't wait to watch what else you've got. Keep up the good work!

8:00 Yes, a woman with an apple watch definitely cried at that moment. Can confirm

I could only say, Great work! Like the other comment said the footage/images used + your way of presenting is great. Looking forward to your next works.

Very good! Well done with the dramatic commentary!

Thank you, i really enjoyed your video and thank you for the respect you showed when speaking of the great Ayrton Senna.

great video, a well told story.

That was an exceptional documentary 👍👏🇬🇧

Enjoyed video ! I go back to the days of Graham Hill and Jim Clark at Indianapolis.

Really good video! Keep them coming! 😃

Great video. Subscribed.

you really brighten up my day. thanks a lot and thx to yt algorithms

I was 14 when Ayrton was killed at imola in 1994, I watched that race and I have never forgotten the moment when he smashed into the wall at the Tamburello corner, it was shocking! I remember seeing the photos of Ayrton's smashed Williams in the paper the next day and noticed there was a patch of blood next to the wrecked car and I felt a great emptiness inside despite not reading the article that explained Ayrton was dead. I believe he would have been better if he had joined Ferrari but it wasn't to be. I'm glad people still have a lot of good things to say about Ayrton but I remember Damon Hill saying that he believed Ayrton had crashed due to a mistake he had made himself which I thought was very judgemental because it was clear there was something wrong with the car. I don't think the real cause of the accident will ever be revealed but there was a lot of speculation as to what the cause was. Rip Ayrton. People will never stop missing you and neither will I ❤❤❤

Really a well-made video!!!

I was watching the race live when it happened and was shattered when the news came through. I still remember it like it was yesterday. 😢

Tears in my eyes at the end which means this is a good video! ❤

Good vid dude! keep it up! 🙌

Great job Andy

I don’t follow formula 1. This was a great story. Thanks for sharing.

great channel you have here my friend!

His story always hits me hard I was 35 w/a 3 yr old n wife at time, i hate he didnt get to Father a child, or love grandkids, God surely didnt need him this soon, Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Nice job
