Senna And Mansell's Explosive Battle | 1992 Australian Grand Prix 

2007-2008 for me. Those cars looked alien.

@@lucasjohansson2158 Definitely.

I would say 1990-1996

Add 2003-2005 as well.

@@lucasjohansson2158 looked like twigs to me. Skinny track width and narrow tires. Not really F1 to me.

So classic

The last time forever this foursome would be driving and commentating together..so sad

@Musharraf Nazeer yes

Nostalgia

Much better commentator for play-by-play for this race than the hyperbolic, shrill, frantic distraction who currently does F1. Demonstrates that precise description benefits from some calm during the intensity.

Oooofffffffffffffffffttt - wow

@@earlhenerz Said every driver not

That's pretty sad news

@@enterthebully9968 lol all the drivers find it boring as well there is no flow

@@Ronline26 The current circuit in Melbourne is worse.

Ricciardo kinda reminds me of him

Underrated? Mansell was one of the very best drivers! The only thing playing against him was precisely one of his best qualities: he never gave up a fight! In Senna's own words: "He has amazing car control."

I wouldn’t say Mansell was underrated, he was one of the favorite superstar in F1 at the golden era

Mansell was also a force to be reckoned with when he drove for Newman Haas in the Indy Car series.

@@BIGBLOCK5022006 Well yes he won as a rookie

Murray: Mansell looking for a fight with Senna. Manssel: Just trying to cross the track.

of course he was mad

Mansell was said to have quite the temper; 1994 IndyCar season reflected that. There was one race he went off track three times in one lap because he was so frustrated.

@@dr2stroke611 we don’t know that. anger is a weakness. disappointment, not so much.

@@JoeOvercoat Anger isn't really a weakness; you just have to know where to store it and when is the perfect time to express it.

Rothmans and williams...

Marlboro Red Ferrari?

@@kowloonmichael Mclaren Honda MP4

The MP4 with the Marlboro paint had an orange tint when seen in person. The color was chosen because colors shift and it looked 'Marlboro Red' in photos or on TV.

Alfa Romeo used it before McLaren did

Mansell and Williams were cheating. Traction control scam.

0:23* you dumbsass

Though i love German language, ironically "strictly forbidden" sounds more strictly forbidden in English.

Learned something new today! Thx!

From Brazil, that one I know because I'm learning German. You can see my playlist "Deutsch" and other "Deutschland", but thanks anyway!

Being native German speaker, I had to rewind the passage 4-times to secure I'm not mishearing sth.

great that you caught that i didnt even notice this on first time hearing. but why would he say it? if schumacher would have crossed the track i would understand. but like this its kind of random.

Wait What??? A Mixed Power Unit throughout the grid??? You sure about that???

@@imrankjamil yeah. The McLaren & Ferrari for example had V12s, Tyrell, Williams & March had V10s & Lotus & Benetton had V8s. The engine rules were pretty simple: 3.5l displacement & no turbos. Beyond that teams were basically allowed to run any configuration they wanted.

@@HekateMGO Oh daaaaang....If only this era would....!!!!

Absolutely. Also think about how the drivers of those days experienced multiple engine configurations. For example in 10 years, Senna drove every imaginable popular engine configuration used in Formula 1...from the Toleman with a Hart inline-four, V6 turbo from 1985-1988, normally aspirated V10 in 1989 and '90, to the V12 in '91 and '92, and then for one year, the V8 Cosworth in '93. Flash forward to today...only 8 of the 21 drivers to start a Grand Prix in 2020 have contested an actual Formula 1 race in anything other than a Turbo-Hybrid-V6 (that's counting Hulkenberg). Furthermore, only Kimi and Alonso (including him as he'll be back next year) have raced a V10 car. As it stands, if I'm right, it looks like these turbo hybrid V6's will be used through 2024? Great...

@@deegan463 Dude STOP. You're getting me depressed.

And arguably the most forward-looking design of the era.

And unfortunately that killed Senna in 94... :(

@@teixeira6132 no actually it was the safety car going to slow, and senna couldn’t get his tyres back up to temperature and he didn’t have enough grip to take tamburello flat. Senna obviously took it flat and hit the wall hard. This is one of the reasons Lewis pushes the safety car to prevent a crash like this

@@ethanporciello8807 he didn't lose traction in traditional sense, belly slide I presume.

@@donalsam829 it actually wasn’t a belly slide, what I said above is the official ruling

Até assim se percebe que se não foi erro do mansell foi problema no carro dele e nada haver com Senna que ainda freiou tentando evitar a colisão.

@@carlitodossantossantos3329quê??? hahaha

I agree. And current cars are horrible.

Speechless that Mercedes isn’t dominating for 30 years?

Yeah. McLaren and Williams are the 2° and 3° greats teams in the history of f1

@@estevaomartins4419 3rd and 4th behind Mercedes and Ferrari. Mercedes is already the best team in the history of F1. No one dominated F1 as much as they, and whenever they are in F1, they are winning.

Yep... the Williams had a lot of electronics helps that year.

@@BugattlVeyron The electronics made it even better, but it was already the best car the year before just with aerodynamics.

Totally agree 👍 Considering he did win a title you could add Rosberg to that list.

Slazem se u potpunosti

well he was just on the same grid as Prost Senna Mansell for like 2 years and another two with Hamilton and Vettel. Hakkinen and Alonso were probably his toughest competitors in 1998,2000 and 2006.

He was basically ousted from Mercedes to make way for Hamilton rather than him wanting to leave.

@@a.Hopeful no, they gave him time to think until Japan GP 2010, and then few days before suzuka he said to Brawn and Lauda that he doesnt want to continue.. So basically, he decided what he wants to do.

Haha, people are just doing some nostalgia. Well, nostalgia always make something more "glorious" than it actually was. But that's okay.

Anyone know how to watch the full race of old races

That race was not very much different to the ones nowadays from the positions.

You forgot your generic comment, highlighting other generic comments

Does it matter if its generic, if its true?

And yet it felt like a championship race despite it not being other times

I'm still laughing even if I'm a Ferrari fan... Just laughing to not cry.

Reckless driving! Why Senna was worse than Prost.

@@stuartbritton7408 shut it

@@stuartbritton7408 youre talking as if suzuka 1989 never happened

@@shoppingcart2589 Senna was just as much to blame as Prost was, Senna dived down the inside and would’ve hit Prost. Look what happened when he overtook Nannini later on in the race. If you watch the race itself and not how it was presented in the Senna film, it gives you a different perspective

@@ben6993 there was a gap and he went for it, prost turned in early and thats not even my point, senna was literally robbed in 1989, he took the run off and was banned for the rest of the season, dsq from the race and even fined for it

They crashed

The 1992 McLaren was bad

They actually had to drive back then. Nowadays its like playing a game.

But I must add that now F1 drivers nees to be much more precise with driving lines.

@@jennipasanen6223 you’re so clueless about today’s cars. I can tell from this comment.

The final laps at Monaco were the best ones that season without a single doubt.

Finalmente encontrei um BR aqui

@@antoniomuricoqueiro tmj mano ✌🏻🇧🇷

Senna era um otimo piloto , mais nessa aí ele viajou hein !!

Que barbeiragem Mr Ayrton.

Mansell ends up driving Senna’s car in 1994 and wins at Adelaide

Would've depended on the track. As long as things remained mostly flat, keeping up might've been quite feasible. Otherwise the active suspension on the FW14B would beat. My assumption would be that Adelaide was fairly flat. That's how it looked anyway. Also remember that Senna's end result doesn't reflect the raw performance, but mostly how unreliable that car was that year (although yes it was clearly inferior).

@@nehylen5738 You didn't watch 1992. The FW14B was basically in a different formula. It did not "depend on the track."

@@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044 yep, that 4/7 was a mistake, Senna failed to finish 50% of the races.

@@nehylen5738 An urban track (a real one, not the so called urban track of Formula Woopsie today including Monaco which has been destroyed and turned into Parking by Formula Parking) is more selective than other type of track as the trajectory is even more important. So Senna could reduce more of the gap . The second point is some improvement in the MP4/7A. Still no active suspension , and even during 1993 they were struggling with (crash of Andretti and Senna at Imola , Monaco , bug at Barcelona, Magny-Cours etc...) but I think some improvement starting in Spa with the fly-by-wire and traction control

@@GTAGIS You know, even the local Supercar drivers to this day say the Adelaide track, albeit slightly modified, is a too difficult and challenging track to race

There were only 11 races on that circuit... but some are legendary... I still can remember 1995 when Damon Hill finished 2 laps ahead of Olivier Panis ... and Mika Hakkinen had a heavy crash that weekend ... not to forget Glen Dix, who bowed to every driver with the chequered flag

I went to every race for the four days as an Adelaide resident not to mention the partying. 95 the finale was huge with bon jovi as the after race concert. I wish I could do it all over again. I have a fantastic photo collection from the times though.

It was a weak season. That Williams had a ridiculous advantage. Best ever car in F1. Sometimes 3 seconds a lap quicker in qualifying. Some of the greatest drivers in f1, but we didn't get the chance to see this.

Boiii haven’t you seen the 2014 cars?!

Vettel owns one

@@lukebattiston9614 One from Mansels 1992 car. Yes✌️

Best looking ones were the Williams BMW/Compaq era and the Williams Martini era. Top classy looking

@@simonengelbos4526 lol

Schumacher and hakkinen also in this race. Next gen world champions

Turns out Wikipedia = Brazilian Broadcast

Some Senna fanboys claim Mansell brake tested Senna. However, we can see that Mansell usually braked a bit earlier for that last corner 0:34 Senna should know this so clearly his fault.

@@bojandolinar1535 senna he trained clearly

4:24 Senna put the car sideways tried to avoid the crash.

@@caioc.williams9259 Senna had form for deliberately crashing out drivers to end their race..

Mansell does the old switcheroo!

Ooh they've crashed ! Oh dear oh dear.

Martin Brundle: "He was a day late and a dollar short"

Its not David Croft. Its Murray Walker.

@@danigonzalez4299 *facepalm*

yes that Senna acts drity as he was.

@@danigonzalez4299 haha nice joke

@@danigonzalez4299 he just bumped into the rear accidentally he got too much slipstream

@@cay7809 it wasn't slipstream, look at his rear wheels during the slow motion replay, the throttle seems to have stuck open.

@@byanymeansnecessary9329 I see

To think there are some people who deny Michael is one of the greats!!!

@@mziwendukuntsele671 yeah. That's just envy and hate, so don't worry about it too much ;-)

Easy to see why. From mid 1992 FIA put new regulations on fuel. The Renault engine lost around 50bhp.

@@danigonzalez4299 Oh wow, I didn't know that. Cheers.

I totally agree. And knowing how much a petrolhead he is, I am sure he knew the gears and speed by heart.

Agreed

I put him in the top 5

And here it is.... the ubiquitous RU-vid "underrated" comment being used by someone who has no idea what the word means.

@@ivanjulian2532 they use that word to get likes.. it's pathetic.

So smooth, I think he was a better driver than senna

Piquet wasn't wrong.

I like to say that Mansell was a crazy genious driver.

Should have*. Not "should of".

Piquet called Senna a Sao Paulo taxi driver. Piquet was the jealous type.

he kinda was. On one hand he was a brilliant driver, but he was sometimes also dumb as a rock. There was one time in canada (dont know the year) where he was far a head and he was driving slowly on his last lap and waving to the crowd. But then he drove a little too slow and the engine stalled, resulting in a dnf instead of a win.

Epic days...

Mclaren, Williams and Lotus. The 90s was a sad period for Grand Prix racing, as it saw Lotus fall. And Brabham. In this race, Lotus was still the second most Successful team ever, that was still true as they began their final race in 94.

The problem with Seb is that he makes mistakes too often

Are you really trying to compare these uncontrolable, unpredictable and overpowered beasts with the cars we have today?? The audacity/ignorance

F1 is full of double standards these days.

Fanboys comparing apples with oranges to defend their favourite driver as usual. Anyways, I don’t recall Senna being called ‘Torpedo’ or ‘Spin master’ back in the day. He was ruthless on track and made mistakes as well, but he never got outclassed by his team mate just like all time greats!

What a lame comparison.

yeah.. except this was 1992.

I'm italian and ferrari fan. For me Williams always was a romantic team that deserves to return to fight for the victory. Sorry for my english

Lol

But MC laren the best driver : only genious Senna do meu Brasil...

They were pretty equal by the end of the year, McLaren always developed until the end of the season and williams didn't. Berger and Patrese were equal as well.

​@@scarsurfing the Williams was head and shoulders above the Mclaren all season, Prost tested the 92 car and wanted to use that instead of the fw15c, but Patrick Head insisted on using the new car because its active system offered more potential than the reactive system on the 14b. Prost has said in many interviews the 93 season was his most difficult and thought it would have been easier in the 92 car. The Mclaren wasn't on level terms with Williams from mid 91 until 1998 when Williams lost the Renault engines. The 91 Williams was better than the Mclaren but suffered with reliability issues in the first half of the season.

Senna fault all day long

Not really. If you recall I think there was a similar situation lap two where Senna got by but was immediately retaken as he couldn't hold on to the corner. I think Senna was trying too hard to overcome the performance gap of the cars and while Mansell was being smoother for the turn and braking with more than enough time so probably a but early Senna was going to try late and being behind Mansell he was caught out but he was never in the place to try that out braking as Mansell was in middle of the track and Senna wasn't either side so he shouldn't have tried it.

My opinion is similar to yours. It's a combination of factors. Mansel is in the middle of the track. As Senna comes to the limit, he expects Mansel to define a different tangency trajectory. So surprised he takes microseconds to define what to do. he brakes hard and the car goes sideways, but he doesn't avoid the accident.

Você está totalmente correto. Mansell também pode ter errado uma marcha.

But he didnt crash into them. Sorry but: He's a much more fair driver.

^ and much slower. Senna managed to score several pole positions and wins way before he had the best car.

@@alexandrecl4331 you mean the Lotus-Renault?

@@Ben-gb9qr Yep, 16 pole positions with Lotus and 8 wins. He alson won Monaco 1984 with a Toleman (the second worst team at the time), but he was robbed.

@@alexandrecl4331 So has Verstappen?

Yes moving from Adelaide to Melbourne was one of the symbol of the trend of F1 changing and becoming Formula Woppsie/Parking

Yes its not mansell and senna. But senna helmet is yellow like brazil

Murray was always a bit clueless.

Nevermore
