Shame Ayrton didn't stay with McLaren...instead of going to Williams. But this ending looks like an and to a fairy tale. Still missed 25 years ago...today, we lost greatest racing talent ever. Rest in peace Legend.

[@DarylLewis]

Marc Ussoni nice words

[@salomaocohen]

Miss Senna so much, too

[@deantaylor6558]

Brilliant documentary, I remember watching in 1993 - the irony and sadness to come......

[@GrieverSquall]

Senna's last victory.. miss you, champ.

[@alexmarman619]

With the sadness about Senna and what happened to him the following year, it is easy to forget that Hakkinen would end up being a great driver for Mclaren and would bring the team further success with x2 World titles in the late 1990's. I look at this episode as a changing of the guard at Mclaren.

[@DarylLewis]

Alex Marman Hakkinen was a great driver!

[@forsakenoutcast]

Last time Senna and Prost touched the podium. Thanks for the share thought I’d seen it all.

[@DarylLewis]

levelXtreme You’re welcome and I hope you enjoyed the series

[@MWPompert]

nice to see the chat between Dennis and Schumacher, and Ron doing the same as Ayrton a little bit warning him :)

[@13570neil]

Personally, it’s very hard to watch this particular episode WITHOUT shedding a tear, particularly when Ayrton crosses the line to win & the music kicks in and he goes around to say goodbye to everyone at the end. And then.......

[@richardsellers8671]

It always upsets me, but, what a race. In fact what a weekend, utterly dominant.

[@tech9803]

Kind of sad, knowing what happened the next year.

[@jameswalker3611]

In 1993 we had this brilliant behind the scenes documentary, now we have Drive to Survive which is toe-curlingly bad 😢

[@matthew1hyndman]

The fanfair at the end seem appropriate for a episode that was first shown on Christmas Eve. They don't make programs like this anymore

[@DarylLewis]

Matthew Hyndman well said

[@ElectoneGuy]

Senna had no choice but to sign for Williams. Staying at McLaren would have meant dragging that brutal Peugeot around the track and probably would have been his first season without a win. Of course, we can all look back now and know what his decision meant, but at the time, it was 100% the correct decision.

[@peterschoen7409]

Remember the Ford cosworth was also in the schu car and wasn't as successful

[@jolicska]

well prost set him up to murder him at the williams car by frank williams and patrick head

[@ElectoneGuy]

@@jolicska Grow up

[@Gensixvette]

It's sad of course what happened to Senna in 94, but again he made the right move. Had he lived add 2 or 3 more championships to his 3 and no one would have touched his pole or race record we would have set to this day.

[@DarylLewis]

I agree. Always seems almost ironic to me that Monaco was the very next race. Had he jumped out the car without injury in Imola I fully believe he’d have started his title challenge there with a win. We’ll never know of course…

[@SpeedBrazilOficial]

THANKS GUYS ❤ TODAY JUNE 2024❤ REMEMBERING AYRTON SENNA ❤ F1 LEGEND❤

[@CalmestK]

Crazy, I feel like there was so much tension when senna left, you can see in on there their faces. Mclaren was heartbroken, but senna wanted a taste of Williams

[@483972]

Ron was the boss until the race starts... after that he just backup’s the boss) and makes sure the boss has all the support)

[@vojamarksi6031]

this is so unreal that he is gone forever

[@kenbaker8868]

A pretty good season with Senna!

[@SuperDavidGnomo]

Senna's best season with the third car on the grid. Genius.

[@SpeedBrazilOficial]

THANKS ❤

[@Zoomer30]

So Senna signs a contract, then 20 mins later "on second thought...."

[@Zoomer30]

"Daddy, the women in pink scares me 😭😭😥"

[@BenArthur]

Imagine Schumacher and Hakkinen as teammates, that would have been interesting

[@vincentsouchaud6717]

15:57 Look at those scalar waves in the sky. G o engi neering in full swing.

[@stewartgrindlay9760]

20:18 such a Ron Dennis thing to say

[@anthonygibbo1881]

Dame edna everage loved the McLaren f1 Road car I wonder if he I mean she got one 🤣🤣

[@srajjad]

Shouldn't have left McLaren. At least not that year.

[@thiscocks]

wtf was Dennis on about to Schumacher? 'Look after yourself..' Dont blame Shumacher for taking it as a dig.

[@chrisclermont456]

I watched Schumacher from his earliest times as a Mercedes Junior driver. As we saw in his F1 career, Schumacher would do some peculiar things if he expected to win but things suddenly stopped going his way. I think Ron Dennis was warning him against himself.

[@abhiabrahamthomas2993]

How many championships would Senna have won ??? 7 , 8?

[@jarijaridewa]

He is great NOT because he gain numbers of titles. But because he win in inferior car or driving problematic car or rain. We love him because HIM, not because his title.

[@RicardoSilva-qp4bb]

Depends for how long Senna would have been in F1 and what teams he did end up with. Considering the Williams team performance back in the mid 90's - and all things going to plan - if he stayed with Williams for the next 4 years he would have had 4 more titles (94, 95, 96, 97 would have been easy titles). But no one really knows for sure, obviously.

[@iwantanaivanovic2962]

None, if Prost did not bring him to McLaren.

[@amos686]

@@RicardoSilva-qp4bb think that's a tad disrespectful to Schumacher.

[@carlosroman2905]

I will say 5 or 6 he could have retired in 1998 with 38 years old .

[@donyfoster6849]

Última vitória do Senna na F1, depois só tragédia
