I still rate Ayrton Senna as the greatest F1 driver.

[@ashacrasha]

I love how he still has his red boots from the previous season with McLaren! :) Brings a tear to the eye...makes you feel like you're really there...thanks for sharing this very rare footage!

[@karelklumpers]

What a beautifull sound. And what a legendary driver...

[@K9zz]

OMG the sound of those cars just pure heaven

[@longtimeninjabiker]

Thanks Jean-marc for a treasure...right down to last years red driving shoes. even though ayrton was under tremendous pressure and uncomfortable at williams he still manages a smile and a wave to his public...awesome video thank you. Barry

[@arwen013]

Merci pour cette vidéo, 30 ans aprés on a toujours ce manque

[@yanava]

looking at how cars are built now, it's not difficult to imagine why that crash killed him... look at his shoulders, completely exposed. rip senna! thanks for sharing this excelent footage!

"I have a very negative feeling about driving the car and driving it on the limit and so on. Therefore I dindn't have a single run or a single lap that I felt comfortable or reasonably confident. I am uncomfortable in the car. It all feels wrong. We changed the seat and the wheel, but evenso I was already asking for more room. Going bach to when we raced at Estoril last September, it feels much more difficult. Some of that is down to the lack of electronic change. Also, the car hat its own characteristics which I'm not fully confident in yet. It makes you a lot more tenxe and that stresses you" Ayrton Senna

[@MichaelClaesson]

We miss you Ayrton! ❤

[@sitke9962]

How beautiful the car was, how bad its performance was.. And still Senna drove it like it was the best car on the grid.. A true legend and maestro at his office...Never forgotten.. RIP Mr.Senna ❤

[@wd.8888]

It was a very quick car with a very powerful engine and had and eventually manifested great potential, it’s just it was very difficult to drive. So I wouldn’t say it had bad performance just strange characteristics and hard to drive, yet he still got pole in the first 3 races of 94, imagine what he could’ve done when the B spec car arrived..

[@maristelalamberti3559]

Ayrton is still on our hearts ❤❤

Thank you for sharing this video sir... We are very grateful watching this.... :) :) Nice.... Nice.... :) :) We can clearly hear Ayrton Senna pumping the gas pedal.... :) Nice Nice.... :) :)

[@Nisie23]

Being the professional and brave and courageous soul that he was, he still tried to make it work with an awful un-driveable car, after those ridiculous rules changes. It eventually killed him. So unfair. He didn't deserve this. He was a great man, on and off the tracks. The greatest racing driver that ever lived! Like Lauda said. We miss you Beco! 🇧🇷❤

[@Holanduzo]

He crashed because of the steering colum broke, not for banning of active suspension, they were also banned for everyone.

[@Nisie23]

@@Holanduzo You missed my point entirely. No time to explain. And everyone knows that Benetton was cheating, they weren't playing by the new rules, like Williams. Stand by all I say. I'm correct.

[@vintagemotorsportyoutube]

....you do realise Senna advocated for the very rule changes that ended up killing him, right?

[@mattiik]

i realized halfway through the video how god damned amazing the quality is for something filmed in 1994

That car was as beautiful as it was nervous, thanks for this footage!

Merci de nous faire partager ces souvenirs, j'étais également présent avec mes grands parents.

[@DavidkaDudaska]

when the Renault engine is a dream ! But the Williams suspension is a nightmare !! 😬

[@peterjohnson8935]

More an aerodynamic balance problem than suspension. Williams managed to improve the balance of the car as the season progressed.

[@thiagocesar6064]

Today, the location where this footage was taken and where the team adjusted the Willians, is in the back of the building Winfield Racing School which is located inside the Paul Richard circuit, you can see the location on Google Earth.

Thank you 🙏

[@Hellphiroth]

The FW16 was for sure a deadly car but nevertheless one of the most beautiful F1 cars ever made!!! We miss you Ayrton!

[@weallfollowmanutd]

The car was never deadly. The way the steering column was modified, was. Such a misconception.

[@danielalicirio6107]

Deus... pq levou senna tão cedo? Será que este foi o seu presente para ele, mostrar a ele como era amado, como era importante não só como o melhor piloto de seu tempo, e talvez como sua missão já estava mais do que cumprida, e talvez Deus de tão feliz estava com esse filho que o eternizou aqui nesse planeta na memória de todos que o viram fazer suas proezas extraordinárias, por mais triste que foi para quem ficou... talvez tenha sido realmente seu maior título, o título dado por Deus, o título de talvez e para mim com certeza um dos mais magnífico ser humano que já passou por aqui! Como gostaria de ver vc aqui com agente ainda, ver vc desfrutando da sua vida gloriosa que desde pequeno sempre foi; mais tenho certeza que se tratando de vc, quase não tenho dúvida que até nisso vc superou todos nós, ganhando um presente do único maior de todos, Deus o pai de todos! Realmente vc foi o maior daqui, e deve estar conquistando seus títulos por aí também! Foi uma honra poder ter visto vc em suas glórias, dentro e fora das pistas Nunca nos vimos, nunca fui em uma corrida, nem gosto de fórmula 1, tudo que sei desse mundo foi por sua causa Obrigado senna!

[@eduardosoaresbrasil]

Depois de Senna nenhuma Outra morte na fórmula 1! Ele mesmo depois de morto ajudou outros pilotos! Se qualquer outro piloto tivesse morrido, Não teriam mudado nada em Segurança

[@marciocoelho7244]

Que saudades.,a fórmula 1 numa mais foi a mesma, Senna para o povo brasileiro foi e será um gigante.,atrás de um volante de carro de fórmula 1. Valeu família Senna obrigado por ter permitido este grande brasileiro de nos ter trazido tantos domingos maravilhosos. Quê barulho mais fantástico e um barulho único valeu. . Eu sou Marcio coelho moro em Brasília. DF,sou fã deste grande piloto obrigado a todos vocês por tudo.

Not surprised he stalled the engine! Prost had a lot of problems with the clutch the previous year.

Senna driving Peugeot 306? My car is 306! SENNA LEGEND

[@ernesto_longhi]

Ayrton drove a Renault V10 but arrives on track in a Peugeot.

[@jesseemullen]

Always thought the Adrian Newey-designed Williams cars from 1991-1994 had a nose that looked a bit like a vacuum cleaner. I guess the FW14B and FW15C were kind of like vacuums - they *hugged* the road!

[@spionsilver9626]

its a shame to this day .. all this testing and stuff .. all this money and time spent .. and they werent able to give him a proper and safe car for the Imola race .. he should have gone fishing with watkins .. ;(

well but nice video in a nice quality thanks for preserving

[@nenezenon]

Melhor de todos!!!

[@rdeEKINS]

It's just a shame that the 1994 Williams will always be remembered as "that car". Damon Hill did brilliantly in the FW16B. Almost won the championship and Williams won the constructors championship. Senna would have won the championship in 94, 95, 96 and 97 possably even further. We lost a legend that day. Full respect to him, his family and to the Williams F1 Team. Rest In Peace, Ayrton Senna 1960 - 1994

[@kimiklimenko1608]

I need time machine to go there and tell to Ayrton, that he must go away and show a middle finger to this team )

[@javierreyes9853]

@@home2frinky serious question, I know the steering column situation where they cut and welded in a very small section of a smaller diameter and lesser gauge aluminum that ended up failing (people would argue that it only completely failed when the car stuck the wall at over 135mph) there is strong onboard video evidence that some sort of steering issues had occurred before leaving the track. My question is do you think it was only a case of the column failing or do you think that the slow speed of safety car and debris on the track from the crash at the start of the track could have caused a small puncture or the temperature of tires cooling lowered the car X amount of millimeters causing it to bottom out, or could it have been a perfect storm of multiple reasons. I guess we will never truly know... or even why the Williams Mechanics raced to take the black boxes immediately after the car was towed back to the paddock to be seized.

[@jordiedmond5744]

Williams already had payed the price by leaving F1 for good since Claire Williams left their era of making good cars is as good as gone

[@keeblerelf6786]

This is an incredible video! Haha

[@geraldoneves8449]

Only sadness in the images.

[@rdeEKINS]

It's the real thing - The FW16, not the FW15D. There are no bumps on the nose in front of cockpit, it also has the refuelling port.

It's a beatiful looking car, but the pit garage and the crew, makes it look like a kitcar assembled in a backyard

[@1greenMitsi]

that kitcar makes a helluva sound

[@dalebshelton]

@pabloramon3804 Here is how you can tell if it is the F15C or the Fw16. First the fW15 does not have a refueling valve on the side. Second The Fw15c had a bump on the nose to accomedate the Solid suspension. The Cockpit front is a V shape on the fw15. and Lastly the rear bottom wing of the Fw16 is angled. This is the Fw16.

Foi um conforto para mim vê-lo partir na luz do amor eterno as duas horas da manhã .Fiquei muito calmo.

[@mattiik]

merci :D

[@gold333]

If you read the WIKI article on the FW16 you'll see that it's designer (Newey) actually admitted they made a "real cockup" of the car in the early season of 94.

Na testiranju se već vidjelo da Williams ne radi dobro, Senna se stslno žalio na balans bolida. Problem je tek rješen na pola sezone kada je Hill počeo pobjeđivati, ali Senne više nije bilo. Svojim životom je platio napredak tog nesretnog bolida. Pitam se, gdje je danas taj auto u kojem je stradao brazilac, da li je negdje u Williamsovom muzeju ili je uništen?

[@thebestracingdriver]

La macchina di Ayrton è stata distrutta dalla scuderia Williams appena gli fu riconsegnata dopo il sequestro,dalla magistratura...

[@liafigueiredo3708]

Belo video, mas as imagens dele tentando acertar aquela " cadeira elétrica" que deram para ele guiar me corta o coração.

[@matheusbalbi5587]

O problema em si não era o carro, sim o regulamento da FIA que excluiu todos os equipamentos que auxiliavam o piloto como susp ativa, cotrole de tração e largada. O FW16 (carro do senna) foi feito baseado no fw15 (do ano anterior) que foi construído pra trabalhar com tudo que a FIA proibiu em 94. Detalhe, o carro do Senna n foi feito para o Prost, não pro Senna. O Chassi 0 do Hill ganhou o campeonato de construtores do mesmo ano e quase ganhou o de pilotos (se n tivessem jogado o carro em cima dele)

I disagree, the culmination of beauty to me was the FW15C. After this all cars started to get ugly (Mclaren MP4/9, FW16, etc). If you look carefully you'll notice the FW16 has straight sidepod inlets. This as opposed to the curved inlets of FW15C. Try to find the Estoril promo shot of Hill and Senna in front of an FW15c painted in Rothmans colors. (No anhedral wing & curved sidepod inlets) it is the most beautiful F1 shape & color ever.
