Wanna bet our lord & savior Could drive like that now that Senna gave him lessons. I like to think about that. R.I.P. Aryton Senna Da Silva & god bless his family.

First INDYCAR race for me that year. I was in love!😍 ❤. The smell of burnt methanol and the buzz of those engines!

You bloody legend ! Thank you.

He was and still is a Genius! I liked him so much. I remember his last accident.

Forgive me my beautiful, wonderful, kind, & loving Christian friends, Jesus was the God, and Senna in believing in him achieved this. Just as me believing in my Faith will help me achieve my great goal of just looking after you, and I believe in all Faiths. There might be athesits that don’t even believe in what I believe in but I will still look after them so long as they just remain good, decent & non-violent as most of them are.

Saturday was so FKN wet...

The Volvo and the Isuzu were great

I soooo wanted Nigel to win. He has always said the last yellow was thrown wrongly. However, I'm not sure he'd have held on even if it hadn't been thrown. Watching Emerson - his car was really hooked up at the end, and given the rate he pulled away, he may well have overhauled Nigel, whose car was definitely understeering. The one I most felt sorry for was Boesel, that penalty he got was harsh.

Had he lived it would have been Ferrari all the way. A born Marlboro man. Tragic. The rivalry with Schumacher would have been epic.

Senna is and ALWAYS will be the best. He did things in much lesser, slower cars (donington 93) is proof. If he had lived god only knows what he would’ve done. For someone like both Schumacher and Hamilton to say it themselves, proves it. Senna will live forever in true F1 fans minds. I hope the younger generations find out just how awesome he was, along with Jim Clark, Fangio, Stewart. This form of racing is so special on so many levels. Thank you for the great memoriam. Legends never die

Male domination ended...it never stopped ffs.

If you drink, then drive, you're a bloody idiot. Unfortunately some people still fail to understand that...

In a similar vein to Clarkson's last word, watching F1 as a kid Prost was my hero and I wasn't a fan of Senna, but looking back now, the talent and genius of Senna is unsurpassed.

I think drivers who’ve died are held in higher regard because they died than of their actual abilities. Not saying Senna and Earnhardt weren’t great, but the fact they died in the car amplified their legacies.

Beautiful tribute, Mr Clarkson

I’ve been watching Formula One for the decades my middle child. She’s just getting into it right now and learning about Senna. She is fully amazed at how good he was even after watching the drivers up today. I’ve explained gear boxes were manual. 1,200hp driving with 1 hand. These drivers are back then in the 80s were pure monsters mass class all of them and Santa rolls to the top.

Which ep was this

Goat

We’re now witnessing another driver whose uncompromising style defines the sport. Someone who embodies the spirit of Senna’s ability to squeeze the maximum and terrify other more experienced racers into mistakes and or collisions. Sadly a lot of fans don’t appreciate what they are witnessing. Senna himself had a lot of hate and it would be interesting to see how it would’ve been if comments sections existed back then.

"The figures also suggest that Prost was better" would be more appropriate. Not a popular statement I know. But Senna will always be Senna.

Senna is and will always be the fastest driver ever. Never seen anyone drive like him.

Only a few athletes transcend their sport... Senna and Muhammed Ali

Good race

Every F1 car livery would be awesome if there's senna yellow helmet

This is the only time I had fumes from fuel and tiredust emanating from my tablet ... unbelievable .. American . singular 😊 Thankyou

And such a good man

This was the first time I ever heard of senna was this tribute specifically. Thank you TG

This is how you make grown men cry

I witnessed Jimmy Clark at Mosport in 67 in the rain Jimmy was cutting corners with the throttle 6 inches of air under his front wheels there was no one else that could do that consistently lap after lap wheels bouncing airborne and when he hit the throttle they would make contact again with the pavement steering that Lotus by using the throttle while the front tires remained straight never missing the beat lap after lap. In the pits his crew dressed in jeans and tee shirts delivering his hot rod using an open trailer pulled by a pickup truck, just a bunch of fun loving guys that were second to none. After watching that magic unfold no other driver has been able to duplicate in pouring rain using 15 inch treaded rear tires that when a group running together got on the throttle they disappeared until they started splitting up caused by the rooster tails of water that came off those huge treaded tires on the throttle just imagine those drivers sporting a wide open helmet and aviator goggles that steamed up with hours of racing ahead of them and no possible chance of drying them while driving those suicide machines made of thin aluminum that would split in two after hitting the concrete wall a few times with their legs that now were wide open and heading for that same piece of concrete. Jimmy Clark was a precision driver always in control was a clean driver who had absolutely no doubt about his abilities was mentally and spiritually prepared to get that job done like no other before nor after, always in control..

Mansell. So manly has has not one, not two, but THREE moustaches.

Prost #2 senna # 1 ❤

If Suzuka 1990 is mentioned, Suzuka 1989 should be too

Good quality upload. Thanks!

Salt Walther complained that the car wasn’t competitive… Salt Walther himself was not competitive and equally, not popular. At Indy in 1977, the drivers held an unofficial ‘Salt Walther did not qualify’ party. They dismissed the black leather glove he wore to disguise the burns on one hand as ‘theatrics’. I never saw him do anything impressive.

It really annoys me how many people watch these videos and say how crap F1 is compared to this. I went to every F5000 race I could in Melbourne (I was just a kid) and I swear I was the only cunt there watching them. Everyone else was off getting a beer and a hot dog before the next idiotic touring car race. Yeah, Go Brocky and all that shit. I get lectured by people who think they all had flat plane cranks (because most of them have never heard one) until I point out that the only car in the field with a flat plane was John Goss’s A53 Matich. If they’d bloody been there they might have a clue. F5000 might have survived if people had put their money where their mouth was and actually watched the races. The biggest problem in the day was legendary unreliability.Great quality video. Thanks for uploading.

Should watch so called f1 so boring with room

Can’t believe that bbc IPlayer took this part out of the episode. Shocking disrespect from the BBC

Waited forty years to watch my handshake with Bob Jane, lol

the best ever.

Senna was and is the pride and joy of Brazil. He made us feel proud of being Brazilian during some hard times. Remember his death still breaks my heart.

I have seen the Senna documentary and the series. Jezza's Top Gear Senna tribute is still the best. He just knows how to captivate an audience with his story telling. Heck, he could make a documentary about Victorian era steam engine pipes and I would still watch it. I wish he could do his own documentary on Senna.

Gilles Villeneuve? Seriously Clarkson?

just watch his onboards... it's nuff said

There is only one driver. Ayrton Senna da Silva

Who was the genius that decided to match Senna with Radiohead´s "Optimistic".

My son named Ayrton 😊

💛🇧🇷💚🤟Senna FOREVER

One dearly wishes Sir Lewis Hamilton was better with words!!!

Going for the usual Quartely view (Q4 2024)

Netflix has a series called Senna but something called me to watch this amazing tribute by prime top gear
