F1 - Ayrton Senna makes tests with Williams

F1 Williams / 1994 - Ayrton Senna presents its new team in F1, together with Damon Hill, and carries through tests with its new car.

[@Gump-tion]

So hard to watch this and not think of Imola

[@MatthewDaSmitdog]

Especially on the part of this clip where the steering wheel is installed and Senna gets the feel of it. Research from those who viewed on-board footage before the crash saw something amiss with the wheel approaching Tamburello, suspecting the steering column was broken.

[@CaptainSpadaro]

@@MatthewDaSmitdog The general consensus is that that's what happened. Senna's steering column, which had been lengthened on-site at his request (there wasn't enough lead time to have an entirely new column manufactured and shipped to the track), broke on the 7th lap. One wonders what that onboard camera saw right before impact.

When people say things like. When “racers were real racers “ they were tougher. Maybe. But because they had to be. Just looking at these cars its truly a miracle many more driver weren’t lost during this era. These things were total death traps. And cost lots of life. I am super thankful for the safety today. Super thankful. I lost my childhood hero’s in racing. And im glad some kids like say Romain Grosjean’s kids get to see their father. Senna was just too young. Its still as sad today to me as it was as a 12 yr old at the time.

Eu só tentaria convencê-lo de n correr em San Marino. Senna tinha mtas justificativas pra n correr em Imola (acidente do Rubinho, morte do Ratzenberger, falta de segurança nas áreas de escape das curvas), mas foi teimoso e msm tendo um mal pressentimento, foi correr. Ele teria mto provavelmente faturado o título em 94, visto q Adrian Newey solucionou o problema do carro do FW16 após o GP de Imola.

[@Lucas-kc5ht]

@@ptristao01 o foda que as 3 corridas que o senna não marcou pontos, o schumacher venceu, isso iria fazer diferença no final

[@ptristao01]

@@Lucas-kc5ht Vai saber no q iria dar a disputa pelo título? Com carro mto inferior ele apertou a disputa em 93, contra a mítica FW15 do Prost. Além disso, vale lembrar q o Hill é um piloto muito inferior ao Senna, e levou a disputa até a última corrida, sendo q perdeu por trapaça do Schumi. Nas três primeiras corridas da temporada, msm com o FW16 praticamente incontrolável, Senna conseguiu pole position em todas. Abandonou nas 3, mas isso provou q o Senna poderia ganhar (eu diria facilmente) o WDC de 94. 95 é outra história, as Benetton estavam mto fortes. Pode até ser q o Senna faria uma temporada semelhante à de 93, mas qm sabe... Provavelmente ele iria permanecer como 1º piloto da Williams com o Hill até 96 e dps com Villeneuve em 97, q ambos os campeonatos ele ganharia. Senna poderia ter sido hexa campeão (talvez até mais) mas infelizmente ele faleceu em Imola.

[@ultrapaiva]

@@ptristao01 O Hill só levou a disputa até o final porque o Schumacher perdeu pontos ao ser desclassificado de duas corridas e eliminado de outras duas. Se não fosse isso, teria garantido o título bem antes. Mas concordo contigo que o Senna brigaria mais de igual pra igual com o Schumacher e, segundo o Hill, lá pela sexta corrida do ano o carro da Williams já estava muito melhor do que no início do ano, pois é claro que a equipe reconheceu que o carro precisava evoluir daquele começo de ano ruim e investiu recursos nisso.

[@ultrapaiva]

O jornalista brasileiro Flavio Gomes estava no Estoril cobrindo essa apresentação. Segundo ele, depois das primeiras voltas, Senna saiu do carro e disse: “Justo na minha vez, cagaram no carro.” Anos depois, o projetista Adrian Newey, responsável pelo carro, escreveu em seu livro de memórias que errou mesmo aquele carro. Como as regras mudaram de 93 pra 94, retirando suspensão ativa e diversos outras funções eletrônicas, ele deveria ter projetado uma evolução do último carro da Williams com suspensão passiva em vez de pegar o carro de 93, retirar a suspensão ativa e adaptar as regras de 94. Segundo ele, o carro de 94 só funcionava direito em pistas bem lisas e no túnel de vento, em pistas onduladas (a grande maioria) a variação de altura do carro fazia com que perdesse pressão aerodinâmica no meio da curva. A suspensão ativa compensava essas ondulações lendo o asfalto e adaptando a suspensão, mantendo o chassi sempre na melhor atitude e altura do solo, maximizando a pressão aerodinâmica. A suspensão passiva não faz isso, ela reage às ondulações como um carro normal. Foi um erro de filosofia de desenvolvimento que produziu um carro fraco em 94 e acabou contribuindo pra morte do Senna.

You can see that the car is unstable. Senna didn't like it, it's clear in the expression on his face. Senna wanted to drive the FW15C adapted to the 94 regulations. He liked the car, it was fast and more reliable. Adrian Newey and Patrick Head did not accept.

[@SpotlightKid83]

The helmet at 1:45 and 7:04 is clearly a Shoei X-4, with the chin part stretched out front, same one he used in McLaren in '92 and '93. While in the rest of the video he uses the Bell M3 which is more round, similar to the Bell XFM-1 he used from '84 thru '89. In Estoril, the pits are on the left side of the track, while at Paul Ricard they are on the right.

Had Mclaren gone with the Lamborghini like Senna wanted and not the Pegout for 94 maybe he would have stayed with them.However he wanted the best car to win the title again and he knew that Williams did have the best car for 94 and they did have the best car From 1994 to 1997. Senna more or less was ready for Williams already for the 1992 season but his loayalty to Honda kept him at Mclaren He did not go to Williams in 1993 because they had signed Prost.

[@gold333]

Most people know the onboard is not Senna but Coulthard driving later in the day. None of Senna's cars had an onboard attached in this test. You can see it.

[@ultrapaiva]

During this test, after his first run, he climbed out of the car and said to Brazilian F1 journalist Flávio Gomes: “Holy sh*t, right when it’s my turn to drive the car, they f*cked up the car”. Years later, Adrian Newey recognized in his book that the 94 car was an “evolution” of the 93 car without the active suspension and electronics. He conceded that they should have taken a page from Williams’ last passive suspension car (91?) and use that as a base of development for 94, making a better car to drive through bumps. The 94 aero (of the beginning of the championship as they evolved and fixed it afterwards) was very sensitive to ride height and while this was ok for the 93 active suspension car, it didn’t work for the 94 passive suspension car.

There are mixed images from 2 different test days, one of them is Estoril in Portugal, where he exits the pits towards his left, the other I believe it was Paul Ricard Circuit, where he exits to the right. I believe the tests at Paul Ricard were before the ones at Estoril, because at Paul Ricard he is still using a Shoei X-4 helmet (the same from 1992 & 1993) but in the new Rothmans livery, he then switched to the Bell M3 at Estoril, which is the one he used for Aida, Interlagos and Imola.

Because Williams had a stronger car. In 92' and 93' Senna( in a Mclaren) lost to the Williams team. He knew they had a better package. He tried to get the Williams seat in 93' but Prost would not allow it. So he took his chance in 94' when Prost retired.

Actually Benetton had the best car in 1994, but how could Senna have predicted that? Both Senna and Hill complained that the 1994 Williams was nigh on undrivable without all its former electronical driver aid's which made the 1992 and 1993 Williams so dominant. Schumacher on the other hand admitted that until 2002 the best car he had ever driven was the 1994 Benetton. It may not have had the best engine but the chassis was brilliant. Some even say it was illegal. Senna thought so at least.

[@hhJACK92]

I have to apologize on this one. The reason why Senna was so uncomfortable with that car is because that is the FW15 in Rothmans colors, and the cockpit was still designed to fit Alain Prost. Williams did make the cockpit bigger with the FW16.

[@McLarenMercedes]

Actually by 1992 it was perfectly obvious to anybody that Williams had by far the better car, not just the Renault engine. Even if Honda would have produced a more powerful engine, the McLaren chassis of 1992 still wasn't on the same level as the very advanced Williams with all it's active ride height and traction control. Senna was thinking of a sabbatical for 1993 and McLaren had Hakkinen ready to replace him (coming from Lotus), but in the last moment Senna signed a race per race deal.

[@paolociarpaglini9492]

[@yanava]

this happens like a million times during f1 races, but it's not always fatal like senna's crash. He was short of ground to brake his car and the violent nature of that crash killed him.

[@McLarenMercedes]

The thing was Peugeot had dominated the 1992 and 1993 24 hours of LeMans with their Group C racecars. Ron Dennis had already seen Porsche dominate Group C sportscar racing in the 80's and therefore let Porsche build the TAG V6 turbo, with which McLaren won 3 driver's titles and 2 constructor's titles. Signing Peugeot seemed like a shrew move. Lamborghini struggled with their engines in other teams in the early 90's, and Chrysler didn't want to bankroll the development of the F1 Lambo engine

I remember Senna complained that this understeer car all of sudden turns into oversteer car after the first winter test and I finally see what he was talking about. He takes understeer lines at apexes like Alonso with Renault and as he lets off gas , the front recovers grip so quickly and the rear kicks out. This is how my 997 gt3 runs like, and it’s really really scary when I was not used to it. 997 GT3 Driver’s fix this characteristics by putting either wider front tires or wheel spacers. I can see that the Williams had too week mechanical front grip for the power it had.

Im portuguese and remember this quite well. Ayrton barely smiles for the cameras and i don´t see any enthusiasm in his eyes. He seemed to know that somehow he was entering in the last adventure of his life.

[@trubyssot]

Looked uncomfortable from the start

[@CalmestK]

Had that look on his face at every grand prix that season

[@JohnSmith-wt9ve]

Com certeza estávamos, nós brasileiros, muito triste com o falecimento do Ratzenberger. Senna até levava uma bandeira da Áustria no cockpit. Teve alguém aí que comentou: estar usando uma visão brasileira. Brasileiro é solidário. Mas aconteceu com o Senna também. Hoje vendo Grosjean saindo quase ileso, me alegra ver as mudanças na segurança.

Realmente essa Williams, na minha opinião, era uma bosta.

[@AndreLuiz-pp9ze]

SÓ O SENNA FAZIA ÉSSA WILLIAMS ANDAR.

[@ezequieloliveira3273]

Não é somente a sua opinião. É que realmente aquele protótipo de Willians era uma verdadeira e genuína BOS-TA !!!

[@zoomzoom4735]

Williams did not kill him, so stop trolling Williams guys. Williams are one of the most conservative nd safety oriented professional F1 teams ever . It is just the nature of the sort to configure and reconfigure and readjust every thing and a oversight subsequently and often happens , given the competitive nature of the sport. Could have happened with any other team, and has happened many times since, but not lead to a fatality so you Trolls did not care. In my view Ayrton died a ideal quick death while doing the thing he loved most ,yeah not so good for us race fans that 94 season for it would have been a epic battle wit hot charger on his tail whole year , but still there s tons of footage of his other battles for us to salivate over for many more years to come.

I don't even think Schumacher would have won all those championships if Senna was still alive. It was only after Senna died he became the dominant driver. Fact is Ferrari wanted to sign Senna themselves. Senna was quoted of saying that he wanted to end his carreer in F1 by driving for Ferrari, even if their car was a dog. Ferrari decided to sign whoever became 1995 champion. Had Hill won they'd sign him. Had Coulthard won they'd sign him.

5:00 ele vendo que as mãos estavam raspando na carroceria

[@matheusbruno6505]

Ele chegou a pedir para abaixarem o volante para ele dirgir com mais confiabilidade, só que a Willians fez de um jeito tosco, e por isso que aconteceu o episódio de Ímola

[@PedroJurdi]

sim, isso era devido a uma exigência do próprio Ayrton. Devido a forma que o chassi foi desenhado, o volante da Williams era muito pequeno, o que incomodava Ayrton, que estava acostumado a volantes maiores, por isso suas mãos raspavam na carroceria. O Hill não tinha esse problema, já que dirigia com o volante original.

A brazilian journalist called Flavio Gomes was on the William's garage when Senna finished his first lap with the new car. According to him, the first Senna words after turn off the engine were: "fuck! They fucked with the car just at my turn" Flavio Gomes is one the most important f1 journalists in Brazil and he has the audio recorded in a tape. He tells one day he will upload it.

[@enn_f1976]
