[@2024LOLLeague]

Pierre has been a Senna fan based on his previous interviews and he even helped with the charity events for Ayrton Senna's foundation or charity institution. Pierre is such a kind-hearted person and he deserves this opportunity. So happy for you, Pierre! ❤😊

[@Pirustae]

Alonso should've been there instead.

[@Recon6delta]

Agreed

[@lloydgross5762]

But what did Naomi do to deserve such an honor?

[@jockejocke1]

@@lloydgross5762 Nothing close to deserve it.

[@andybeadle2398]

As a Toleman fan who followed the team in the early 80's this was great to watch. 40 years ago and in the year we also lost Ted Toleman, thanks for doing this.

[@RaulMeatFactory1975]

I have to appreciate Gasly kind words on Senna after watching Senna drive live so many lazy Sundays growing up.

[@Riddle-lf2ml]

I was 11 years old, when i saw Senna in this car.....see this helmet in this car again, gave me goosebumps and the Monaco race in my mind

[@drazikenn]

What an era it must be to witness all of these live on track

[@Metal05]

I did growing up. Only now do I see it as a precious time.

[@Skafiskafnjak51]

not only that drivers experienced insane levels of adrenaline, but spectators as well.. insanely loud engines, smell of the fuel, death always so close behind every corner.. my heart would be pumping like crazy

[@gijgij4541]

It was. Cheers.

[@danielheathcote5625]

I became a fan in 1983, as a 7 yr old. I look back on these days as truly special. I’ve not seen a current generation car live, but hace seen ecery gen from 90s up to hybrid. Fire breathing turbos were epic. Love that brundle turned up to talk to these great young pups!

[@gijgij4541]

@@danielheathcote5625 I didn't start watching until I was about 13/14 - but that was in 1974/5...

[@morphman21]

@SkySportsF1, can you PRETTY PLEASE make a Playlist of people driving old and cool vehicles PRETTY PLEASE instead of finding them?

[@Jacob-qt1nt]

Actually a great suggestion !

[@anydaynow01]

Yeah I've been watching a lot of the Goodwood historic era car Monaco races recently, man, even though they are slower they are just so exciting to watch. Pure ICE and h shift transmissions, and those drivers are on the edge! Just run the machinery on synth or bio fuels if folks are worried about the CO2.

[@reanult457]

Martin should have a run too!!

[@nellie204]

He is having a break from driving after he finally had his ankle remodelled from the legacy of his smash at Dallas 1984

[@terrystevens5261]

He has driven it at Brands Hatch with Derek Warwick having a go as well.

[@ronnyfurst5511]

Hey Racers... I am an 88 year of make... so not quite your generation... And sometimes I really had my struggles to understand your generation. BUT what you both did for the honor of Ayrton Senna... thats incredible... its so nice to see that even your generation has not forgotten Senna! And to be honest: you both managed the stickshift really well! For me there is one simple thing for sure: if somebody fire up one of Ayrtons cars then the magic happens... Ayrton is alive in every single piston with every single ignition. Pierre and Naomi you are the top of your generation... and both great humans. some of the kind that dont laugh at older generations, some of the kind which look back and smile because of honor, respect and missing good people. go ahead and all the best... I hope there is always those little bit of space and time between you and a crash...stay well and stay fast...

[@davidporeilly1]

Fantastic to see and hear. One overlooked link is that Pierre's current team, Alpine is the direct descendant of the Toleman team. Often called the "Enstone Team". If memory gets this sequence right; Toleman, Benetton, Renault, Lotus, Renault, Alpine.

[@GTChucker86]

and Ironically that same toleman team competed against the original Renault F1 team

[@dextercarrie8131]

The modern helmet Gasly commemorating Senna looks great and like the classic inline colour he had in the foam padding. That car is visceral and raw and like the sound.

[@stevewynn6937]

Quite an emotional moment for me I can’t even imagine how you two felt

[@Suprahampton]

Give them a run in Senna's Lotus 97T

[@ghettoskramzer]

For information, Toleman was the foundations of what Alpine is today (basically the whole Enstone factory). This is an incredible opportunity for Pierre, I would probably cry if I was him :')

[@JohnEaganMedia]

Good point! I had completely forgotten that until this reminder... Toleman becoming Benetton, and then on through the lineage and all the changes to today's Alpine.

[@jimsmagnificentminiaturemo3235]

I honestly thought that’s why Pierre was chosen, i.e. because Alpine was descended from Toleman.

[@boss_vision65]

This was good. Real good. Pierre is a cool driver, but Naomi in that car was "oooh goosebumps." Not only does she look good in racing overalls, but she can drive and seeing how she loved this treasure, it shows that she knows her stuff. Sky, do more of these. With Naomi too.

[@JohnEaganMedia]

What an experience that had to be for those two, almost dreamlike. Especially with the kind of grey overcast weather, that seemed to add an almost surreal atmosphere to the scene. Like they might have woken up the next day and thought... "wait... wow, that really happened!". Also good for making a guy feel old (I'm close to the same age as Brundle), remembering watching Senna race the car on TV, now seeing it driven by people who were not even born until years later.

[@BlessedLifes]

SENNA LEGEND FOREVER ❤😊

[@monroya3962]

Cada lembrança do Senna é uma profunda viagem no tempo. Gasly e Naom, não eram nascidos quando o homem partiu, mesmo assim todos o admiram. Não há nacionalidade, classe social, religião ou qualquer outra coisa que não conheça ou feitos de Airton Senna.

[@90MinutenLang020Damsko]

I'm a Senna fan since 1988 i was a little boy started watching f1 about 11 years old without somebody ever telling me f1 existed. Now i also would like to drive 1 of Senna's car, i think i deserved that too.

It makes you realise how soulless the current cars are. Whenver modern drivers get the opportunity to drive a historic car, they're always blown away by the experience.

[@willjackson6522]

It’s just different mate. You drive a modern F1 car and try not to be blown away, stop complaining

[@dmayres]

@@willjackson6522 it's all relative, of course. Just an observation, hardly complaining. I'm sure I would be blown away...until I binned it on the first corner

Stunning car

[@meer1120]

The double-deck front wing of the TG183B is somewhat similar to the front wings of some 2008 cars.

[@juliahenriques210]

Knowing full well the extent of Ayrton's talent, my admiration for Allain only grew in these last decades. I feel French single-seater drivers, of which Pierre is currently the more rounded one, could benefit from studying more under Le Professeur. When you're young you tend to root for the fastest on track, but age has this way of teaching you to appreciate smarts. Allain was never as quick, but he's one of the best race strategists of all times. He was Scott Dixon before Scott Dixon, always putting himself in the position to capitalise on the smallest mistakes anyone made, and that won him three F1 championships.

Very nice video, THX!

I‘ve seen Senna in this at the Hockenheim GP but was a fan of Piquet in the Brabham BMW. That was a great time with great looking F1 cars, not as big and fat as today.

[@jezzter4293]

Oh the memories of seeing that dreadful race when the world lost Ayrton. It hurts but its wonderful seeing that car driven again. Thank you all. This brought tears to my eyes, fantastic! Thank you so much

[@greyhorse1211]

Pretty sure that’s the 4 cylinder 1.5 litre turbocharged engine..? We live in such a superficial age…they never even mentioned the engine, which is at the heart of any racing car!

[@D3Vlicious]

Well the Hart 415T was never th most remarkable of engines and the company could never develop it as much as the big companies.

[@DavidVerch]

They never mention it was a Toleman

[@josvandencamp8441]

People today don’t really understand the impact that people like Senna and sport had back in those days. I tried to explain to people the impact that Australia had when they won the America’s Cup in 1983. Don’t get it. I think events like that and drivers like Senna , bands like the Beatles will never be repeated again which is very sad.

[@adamdavis9600]

also shout out for giving Naomi the opportunity to drive as well!

I wish they showed the outtakes! How quickly did he learn to shift the car without stalling?

[@tangerinedream7211]

Toleman went through Benetton , then Renault then Alpine, so the lineage is there. Small, light, nimble these old F1 cars, unlike today's trucks .😬

[@andersjssjss1200]

If you could pick one of Sennas cars to drive it would be the MP4/4.. but driving his first F1 car comes close.. Well any opportunity to drive a Senna car is special.

[@neilwooding3401]

The Toleman is the origins of what is Alpine today. 4 current employees at Alpine worked on this car 40 years ago 😉 so has its connections
