[@imrankjamil]

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

[@deegan463]

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?

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).

I loved watching F1 racing there and love racing there in video games. Adelaide is my favorite circuit.

[@docT7184]

Despite the safety, for me these cars are more beautiful than nowadays.. Rest In Peace Ayrton …

[@TherealLorinser]

So much intense fight they ended up in a collision, by the way this 1992 Australia and Monaco Grand Prix is the most intense fight in that season.

[@imadebobarnawa8620]

The best decade of F1

[@moniquelee3623]

This intensity reminds me of the 1979 Race of Champions which pitted Gilles Villeneuve against Mario Andretti. Another time, another world.

Back when Australia had a proper great and fun race track in Adelaide.

[@GTAGIS]

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

This was the last battle they ever had. Mansell was in indy cars from this point onwards until Ayrton's death :(

F1 is full of double standards these days.

[@Youtubax]

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!

@@johncale1849 why was it the worst finish ?

[@Jay-Leigh863]

The BBC commentary was so partisan! Mansell brake tested Senna. You see Senna's cars rear end step out in his attempt to avoid hitting Mansell and the British commentators lay the blame squarely on Senna! Check out the earlier laps. Mansell brakes much sooner at that turn than any time earlier catching Senna by surprise and causing the collision.

[@francescozane7600]

Williams dominate but with Senna and Mansell you never got bored. Prost stopped a year and then returned in 1993 and won.

[@klaseronen7535]

I've always thought that there was something off with the way Nigel positioned the car and also how he braked into the corner. From my point of view Ayrton was surprised and caught by surprise.

[@1970cgb]

Senna fault all day long

[@TheWPhilosopher]

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.

[@FabianoOFaria]

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.

[@gustavoguti27]

[@MastaMS21]

At the time they thought it was Mansell's last race. In the end it was the last Senna/Mansell battle. Considering their wild history on track it was quite fitting it ended on a contact.

[@deivison.72]

Senna acompanhando essa Williams quando o Patrese, de Williams, ficou pra trás, não éra um circuito de alta, e Senna sempre se deu bem neste tipo de circuito, se vencesse essa corrida não tinha ficado em terçeiro no Campeonato geral.
