30 YEAR Anniversary: A Story That Was Never Told

I think it's very disingenuous to say that formula 1 fans were shocked when Senna died. A fans didn't know by then that the sport was extremely dangerous then you're never gonna get it. And it's the fans that are responsible for all the deaths because you people keep paying for it. But never once said it should be safer and made it a demand of the fans to protect the drivers. And everybody loves a crash when they survive.

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.

[@gdmya]

If I remember correctly, there was a moment captured where the camera zoomed in on Senna when he pitted, his face just showed that he was upset but ready. Just by the look, I had a feeling that he knew he was gonna die.

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.

[@randomhumanoidblob4506]

I don't think they can quit. Its like Valentino Rossi, bike racing legend (arguably infinitely more dangerous.) He only gave up cos his missus was pregnant....and now is going after Le Mans. Ditto the TT. It's pure insanity but road races still happen - loads of the Dunlop family have succumbed but nothing stops them. I think, had Senna stopped, he would have seen the rise of Schumi and regretted it. Terrible couple of days tho. The race should have been cancelled after the Frantzen disaster but all they care about is the £££££. Fuck the FIA.

[@randomhumanoidblob4506]

^ Ratzenberger, soz.

[@randomhumanoidblob4506]

@ZihVil-q2j Me too. I don't revisit this usually (vid came on auto) because I remember every second. I was so angry with the FIA - THEY were the ones that banned electronic aids that Williams used just to "make it more interesting." NO. It was up to other teams to catch up; instead Williams weren't given enough time to adapt. And yes, I hold them to account too, but for me the F1A killed the best driver of his era and AFTER several hideous crashes, a death...the race should have been cancelled; I don't care how much money they lost. Imagine the toll on the other drivers, racing under those conditions. I loved Senna. The battles with Prost were epic and what got me into F1 in the first place. And I hated Schumacher simply because when I came back to it I was behind McLaren and felt Ferrari tactics sucked. But he too was a great man, a great driver and they are out there to win. It's so sad that a relatively simple accident went so wrong and no matter how much I yelled at the telly when he was winning, I would never wish that on him. Its unbearably sad. But both left the ultimate legacy, because the safety now was inspired, driven and forced by both. I think it's probably very hard for them to stop, or they get the adrenaline rush another way. That's why so many bike legends race roads even after track retirement - road racing is MENTAL, the TT alone claims lives every year. And it's the ultimate rush, they're almost addicted despite knowing all it takes is one tiny mistake and you're headfirst into a brick wall, no safety barriers, no rumbles or run-off. These guys are all super-human and it's a tragedy when we lose any of them. But yes, losing Senna hit differently because it was so pointless and all for £££££.

[@randomhumanoidblob4506]

@ZihVil-q2j yeah, I had horribly complicated feelings about Williams after - I'm British, wanted to support a Brit team and driver and they were my team. But after those couple of seasons I eventually swapped allegiance to McLaren. Williams were never the same for me again. As you say, he died doing what he loved and he died WINNING. And it would have been instant, no pain - I know he moved afterwards but he had a fatal TBI. And he'll always be our best, no matter what happens in the future. He was ungodly. All the best.

They didn't deserve this and thankfully they were acquitted of any responsibility in his death. Great video,

[@pommunist]

The law in Italy back then was that a sporting event be called off until further investigation following the the death of a competitor. So the authorities pretended that Roland Ratzenberger, who was pretty much killed instantly the previous day, died after being transported to hospital. Arses were covered, the race went ahead and the organizers didn't have to reimburse the ticket holders, sponsors etc... Trying to shift blame for Ayrton's death was a completely natural thing for the Italian authorities to do.

Crashes that didn't look too serious at first.

[@reptongeek]

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

[@PinkAsAPistol]

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.

[@therealFearlessBOB]

Williams just ran the car too low, onboards from Schumachers car showed sparks flying from the underside, all the way up to the crash in Tamburello. Just think about it, Williams ran active suspention the year before, and a lot of the downforce came from ground-effect. Now for the 1994 season, the active suspention was banned, but they still needed to pull as much as possible from the floor.. What will you do..? Lower the car!

[@parisjackson9310]

Exactly; I have no respect for Damon Hill. He was protecting his own interests rather than help the Italian prosecutors get justice for Ayrton. That's not a sign of a decent person at all. Ayrton Senna was a young man who died through no fault of his own.

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. 😢

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.

That was an exceptional documentary 👍👏🇬🇧

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

[@WredBeerd]

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!

[@groomlake51]

Thank you🙏🏻 the world needs new Senna content

[@andychatsf1]

It sure does! Thanks for stopping by

[@pietweety7020]

Very good video and well narrated with great music. Top notch thanks 🙏

[@andychatsf1]

Thank you!

[@deanothemanc5281]

Very good narration. Damon Hill is underrated imo, always has been. World champion, unlucky not to have won it twice tbh. Senna was certainly the most naturally talented of his generation, albeit he could be reckless at times, also his race management could be questionable. That said he was an out and out racer, thats why hes so revered all these years later.

[@Yes-vh7lm]

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

[@andychatsf1]

She obviously owns a DeLorean

[@nilsonlima6481]

amazing video! 😢

[@ajsignsdorset]

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

[@laymelow]

Exactly!

[@davidbonanno4054]

Anything organized at Imola to commemorate the 30th anniversary? Thanks for putting up this. Always in our hearts and mind! Race in Peace.

[@MsFactnotfiction]

I am a middle age Brazilian and like most Brazilians in my generation I remember very clearly the day Senna died and even today it brings tear to my eyes remembering his dead. F1 was huge in Brazil and it was the only sport that could get close to soccer in popularity. Every one of his races was like a world cup soccer game. When Senna died, F1 died in Brasil, and with him, a dream that one of us Brazilians, from a poor 3rd world country, could beat anyone in this world.

[@mariehuguen4332]

I loved him very much ❤he made me love your country too until now 🙏may he rest in peace 🕊 I often think about him, I miss him terribly!😢

[@soniaupupup1140]

Wow! I'm not a racing fan. I heard about his death back then as it was on the news. Was never particularly interested. But this had me locked in from start to finish. This should be televised as it's better than any footage I've watched about the events. Brilliant, although sad. Great detailed insight presented so that even I can understand. Thank you x

[@andychatsf1]

Aww thank you so much for the lovely comment. It means so much! I’ve taken a screenshot of it to keep safe lol I’m glad you gave the video a try and you really enjoyed it. Many thanks once again!

[@RobertDore-w4l]

What a great documentary well done Andy...

[@andychatsf1]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@ClassicFormulaOne1]

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

[@andychatsf1]

Thank you!

[@raphaelsouza7695]

Senna.Driven to perfection.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@Quazi-Moto]

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.

[@pascalp.9378]

👏👏👏 excellent, well researched and narrated video about my favorite F1 era. (not for the casualties obviously)

[@andychatsf1]

Thank you!

[@1MessageAway]

Nice video. Showing how Hill was just as fast as Schumi stuck in 5th gear :D

[@andychatsf1]

lol! You have to admit though, for how late Hill started racing. He did well to achieve what he did.

[@c.a8134]

Good video mate 👍🏿 and thank you for putting that together

[@andychatsf1]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it!
