The Tragic Final Days of Ayrton Senna

[@ryanpoles9344]

This genuinely gave me tears watching this. Hearing about his emotions and his worries about the race and his fellow racers. He and Roland were lost too soon.

[@DChrisSLO]

@Perspective there is a italian documetary about Sennas last days, in which it is told by witnesses that the night before his death, there was a wedding party at the reception of the hotel where he stayed, and even if he was sad and with the mind in a different place, he attended the wedding party and took pictures with the married couple.

I think that if he didn't race that single one race he would be still alive. And he knew it, he felt the bad coming. But it seems there was a stronger force, that like gravity, dragged him to the seat. Maybe he was needed for a greater purpose out there and it was time he stripped down his body suit..

I'm a 41yo brazilian F1 fan. I was 13yo back then and, like a lot of brazilians, loved to cheer for Ayrton. I will never forget that weekend, specially sunday. In the moment of the crash my first thought was from frustration. In the years before 1994 the williams cars were so much better than his mclaren. When he signed with williams was such a "fuck yeah" moment. Since he didn't complete the first two races I was already counting points in my head... but he didn't leave the car after the crash. Each following minute was just torture. I will never forget thay may 1st. I was deeply affected by his death, the first one in my life. I'm 41yo now and still could not hold my tears while writting this comment. Thank you for the video and for keeping his memory alive.

Aryton’s paranoia was eerily similar to Niki Lauda’s paranoia before his tragic accident at the 1976 German Grand Prix. It’s incredibly horrifying and tragic.

[@peyvandk9297]

Its Eerie as hell. I cannot stop thinking that maybe how he felt about the car had something to do with him somehow feeling that this car would harm him.

[@sulphurous2656]

It would seem that some drivers have developed a sort of sixth sense to warn them of danger long before it happens. Whether it's just a self-fulfilling prophecy or there is something more to it is interesting.

[@mrkipling2201]

Same with Rindt and Francois Cervert. They both had feelings that something bad would happen to them. Especially with the terrible record of driver fatalities in the early 1970's. The cars were twice as fast, yet nothing had been done to improve the tracks in terms of barriers, run off areas, marshals wearing fireproof overalls, more medical staff and equipment at the track etc. I've looked at the number of driver fatalities in F1 for the late 1960's and 1970's and it's appalling. Having incidents like Roger Williamson's crash where the poor bloke literally was burned alive in his car, despite the heroic efforts of David Purley, a fellow F1 driver and good friend of Williamson.

[@micahkiyimba8641]

The new changes in 94 with removal of TC and LC was in good faith, but it made driveability difficult yet no aero changes came in to slow the cars down. When you remove driver aids, but the cars remain just as fast, it breeds trouble

[@LightsOutLow]

and the FIA gave them hardly any warning on this change either.

[@tamezzodiac2862]

It’s not even just that tho they didn’t make the areo changes to account for it. It’s like taking the rear wing away and sending the drivers out there with not changing anything else on the car. So it wasn’t just only the speed it was everything. You can’t just suddenly take things away. You have to do it slowly or work with the teams to not have them but they simply didn’t. They just took it away and that was that and expected it to work. In doing so teams scrambled to fix it or make the cars better during the season so they had half assed solutions they were trying in hopefully to make the cars better and that’s kinda why his wheel most likely broke. They tried to find a quick fix and instead of a well long thought out plan and testing this is the result. You can’t just do that. If a rocket doesn’t fly straight anymore cause u took what made it fly straight away you simply can’t just slap a different rocket on the there hoping to fix it and hoping it will work or last with 0 testing or anything. That’s essentially what the FIA did. I will never be impressed or pleased that Williams did what they did to hide evidence instead of telling the truth off the start but I also can’t totally blame them. It still doesn’t make what the did not shitty and inexcusable and the fact that his old teammate and so on still kinda to this day says something different then the rest is just not acceptable either. The tho FIA forced the teams into this box and the teams tired to come up with a solution as fast as possible. Both are at fault. Even tho I know Williams did what they did to not be pointed as the ones to blame and to cover themselves I still think they should’ve hair admitted it then the ultimate fault would kinda be on the fia for forcing the teams into this. If you know anything about racing you will know there is no way unless something broke any of the drivers especially senna would’ve just went off there. That corner was feared not cause of its difficultly but cause of the danger it had if something goes wrong and the 0 control the driver has. That corner but itself was probably the easiest one on the track. You turned left and held you foot to the floor. There is almost no way possible you could make a mistake. Especially since the only possible point of making one if u can there was entering the corner and since he was almost through the corner and just randomly went straight made really no sense. So the fact that some people like Williams tried to claim he made a mistake or some kind is just a joke. Even If you never drove a race car before that corner would be hard to make a mistake in especially that bad of one. The on board indicates 0 turning to the right movement like trying to correct a mistake. if anything he hold the wheel in the same spot. Then the car randomly goes straight and he desperately tries to turn the car left by turning the wheel harder but nothing happens. Won’t ever understand the people that claimed it was a mistake. Either way I put the blame mostly on the FIA even tho Williams did shitty things after that trying to cover it all they didn’t purposely do this. They were forced into this box cause of the FIA. They tried to solve the problems they had as fast as possible to not throw the season away and this is what the results were. We could argue senna over drove the pile of trash car trying to stay in front of Michael causing the stress to break the car cause he was being so aggressive but that still isn’t his fault or a mistake. The car should’ve been able to handle that and we shouldn’t of lost senna. Every driver was for the aids being gone but the way they were just stripped I don’t think they appreciated that too much. Even senna the previous year said it would be better but the way the FIA did it was pathetic. The fia is still kinda like this to this day and makes very poor decisions. You almost question the people in charge all the time like how are they even in charge. Just like Roman they have all the intentions of making the cars safer but still will for money put the cars at tracks they know need changed and modifications made or aren’t safe but they risk it anyway. Why we raced at a track with super heavy f1 cars now that has a steel guardrail on a high speed straight off of a corner like that with 0 softer wall or anything in front of it I’ll never understand. These street courses they go to for the dollar will end bad one of these days like the Baku straight. Only a matter of time till a driver goes head on into that pit walk or something. It always takes a death or a bad crash for them to learn from there mistakes. Like imola we saw before that how that wall had bad crashes why did it take the death of senna to determine yk maybe we should have a concrete wall right next to the track. Thing same as spa. We have known Eau Rouge is a dangerous corner and it took many bad crashes and a death recently to finally be like maybe we should try something else other then a bunch of foam or tire barriers propped up next to the wall. I thought forever they should put gravel there to keep the cars from bouncing back out on the racing like or in the path of other cars and it took clear till the end of this year for them to decide maybe we should do that or try it. Ik the FIA isn’t in charge of the tracks but if they made the pressure of we won’t go there unless you fix it a thing then they would fix it. I’m not a engineer or scientist but if the people in charge of the FIA or these tracks can’t figure out how bad some of these things are besides a guy like I can and not come up with any real solutions then I worry about the future. You can’t just make the cars safer but still go to tracks that have unsafe parts about them it defeats the point of the evolution of safety. You have to give everything the golden safety treatment. This just shows we are kinda dealing with the same issues in different ways that we were dealing with back when senna died and are still dealing with poor leadership all over the spectrum in f1. I get it motorsports are dangerous and safety features no matter what will fail and a driver will die but danger we can obviously avoid we should avoid. Things that are obvious to go wrong if something happens should be fixed. We can’t just be like well what are the odds of that let’s just chance it what are the odds? Everything needs to be well thought out and perfectly calculated so everything that is preventable like the wall at Baku or romans crash is prevented before it has time to strike to show us how dangerous it can be if something goes wrong which we could’ve figured that out on our own.

[@MozzarellaBasket]

The issue wasn't with the regulations exactly regarding Senna's crash. He didn't like the positioning of the wheel so he requested it being adjusted, which involved cutting and welding the steering column again (it was done many times before so it wasn't a new procedure iirc). It was believed that that very weld eventually gave way at the point it had the most stress in the middle of the Tamburello corner.

[@rh_BOSS]

The technical changes backfired in the worst possible manner. The timing couldn't have been worse. The announcement was made so late that the teams just had to take essential systems out of the cars that were designed around them. Worst of all was the fact that aero packages were really simplistic and had a very narrow window of optimal driveability. After all the aero was designed for a car with an active suspension that was supposed to barely roll or pitch and always maintain optimal ride height. I think that most of the people in the know leaned towards the bottoming out theory behind the scenes. Skid blocks were introduced shortly after the accident. And there's talk that even several years later it was expressly forbidden for Jacques Villeneuve to set up the chassis for maximum stiffness and lowest possible ride height. Something that Senna was reportedly very fond of.

[@tamezzodiac2862]

@@MozzarellaBasket we knew that but they also said they were gonna try some things that weekend to make the car better and ultimately that was a change they attempted to do. Sure it wasn’t a uncommon thing but it definitely was driven by the fact that the car was complete shit and they tried to give him some form of comfort driving it. If they weren’t scrambling to solve all the other issues the car had something like this may of been diagnosed in a more carful way and that adjustment would’ve been made either before the season or it wouldn’t of been rushed as much and thought out more. Welds don’t break if they are strong especially like that. It was. Most likely a very weak rushed welded that they didn’t wanna spend a lot of time on but they wanted to also try to help senna so they did it as quickly as possible so they could continue to deal with the other issues they had. Now you don’t know if a weld is weak from the looks. It could’ve looked just fine so they thought they accomplished the task or thinking it will hold just enough so they put it in the car. If Williams was as honest as they could be they would’ve admitted to it but they tried to cover it. They knew it probably wasn’t the most perfect weld but thought it was good enough. Well that weld turned out to not be good enough and it killed him. They had all of the off season also to address where the wheel needs to be but instead they were probably buried with all the other issues that they were dealing with so held it off. Until Imola. We know senna requested the change but we don’t know if he requested it before this or not. My guess is he did just they didn’t wanna mess with it then. It seems rather simple but it takes sitting the driver in the car getting them where they feel most comfortable. Then making the changes necessary to get it perfect cause if it’s off then they have to do it again and depending on if they make a mistake which is possible they will have to mess around with it more. Senna also could’ve not felt it would be that big of an issue too so he didn’t really mention it. He was at a new team you don’t really wanna complain about everything off the gate. Then as the more he drove in the car the more he realized how much of a issue for him it actually was and requested it be changed. Team probably had other things to do at that time so considering that if he randomly just requested that that also might of played a role into why it was rushed. Either way we know it was rushed somehow and it most likely had to deal with the fact that they were really scrambling to fix other issues at the time. Knowing senna I don’t really feel like this is a issue that would’ve went unaddressed before the season. I feel like they came to a compromise and senna felt like he could manage it cause they didn’t wanna really mess with it then. As the few races went on and testing at imola went on senna didn’t like it cause it made him feel uncomfortable so they quickly tried to please senna by fixing it and it didn’t work. Also something to note that probably won’t come into play but it might is that a weld that could hold the previous year might not of held then. The cars were a lot rougher in 94 so considering how rough they were now could play a role in why it broke and that also would be cause the FIA removed all the aids they had. The wheel appeared to break also going over bumps. Bumps that are very obvious to the camera. There was like 3 sets of them if I remember or patches or whatever. Well if I remember correctly the wheel broke going over one of those patches or bumps. Not only was it dealing with the g force it also was dealing with the insane bumpiness and shaking that wasn’t as violent the year before with the moving suspension. If I remember the Williams had such a good suspension before all that, that at Monaco they were going right over the little hill into Mirabeau. The consideration of new forces now might not of been a thing and the team might of thought it is partially a concern but it will hold since it’s held before. Either way the wheel broke and Williams tried to hide a ton of stuff and The FIA made rule changes that no team really know how to handle and they were scrambling to fix it. Damon said before the cars at the beginning were awful and he really didn’t have any idea how senna made what he did out of them even if he dnfed all 3 times. Every time he did it while having the car way father up in positions they didn’t even really deserve to be running in at the time. That just kinda shows how hard senna was running his car probably why he dnfed at Brazil from spinning. The cars should’ve been able the handle how hard he was pushing them but they physically couldn’t. The next race he simply got clobbered from behind. They didn’t have really much to go off of and diagnose and fix certain issues so at Imola they were desperately trying to fix everything to get a grip on the season while they could to not fall too far behind so that probably played a role too. The other cars had a whole extra race to go off of and sennas team while not only dealing with the new rules this year where trying everything they could to not fall behind in speed. Even senna said our season starts now. Imola was set up to be a huge weekend for them. They did a lot of stuff to be better and they tried to cram everything into one race and it didn’t work. They didn’t realistically solve the problems the car had till after Monaco. It was a mix of a lot but ultimately it comes down to 2 things. The FIA forcing them into this desperate decision and the Williams team being even more desperate then others cause they basically missed an entire race. Senna and hill both were complaining about multiple issues in the previous races practices and so on about the car. Both complained about how the car was very unstable and it would feel very good then after a bit feel like it has no grip at all. He spun at Brazil for the same reason him and Hill both spun at the pacific GP in qualifying. These issues were caused by the sudden changes the FIA made and it worked well with what they had before but with what they had now it was terrible. Either way no matter what the wheel breaking was very much caused from the rush and the rules the FIA caused. So even tho it wasn’t a direct rule change that caused it. The rush from the rule changes and the predicament the rule changes put them in caused it. Instead of everything being well thought and tested. They made changes and took chances that they probably wouldn’t of took if they had the time to test and really fully think about everything and weren’t so rushed. So yes the team also could’ve been more careful and not tried to ram everything into one week but they almost had to. It’s a very aggressive sport and if they don’t they will just waist the season away and depending on how far behind they fall they risked the next season as well. Kinda what Williams and all the bad teams are stuck in now in f1. They simply fell to far behind and it’s not only just one season it’s multiple ones to follow now. It’s years now to fix it if even ever depending on how fast every other team keeps progressing and if they can ever find a way to catch up. Back to 94 tho they got the best driver at the time on their team they didn’t wanna waist time with him. They also couldn’t fall behind the other teams either they had to be just as aggressive or try to be as on par with them in terms of speed and performance and all. They also knew senna came there cause of their speed. If they couldn’t provide what he needed he would go to another team and they didn’t want that either so realistically they had to shove and do everything they did. Why they couldn’t just admit it tho I’ll never understand. Why they took the shady approach to hide the real reasons. Ig they didn’t wanna look bad or be viewed as irresponsible willing to risk the drivers lives for speed even tho every team did that back then. Didn’t want the media to paint them bad. If anything tho in the long run it made them look worse like they purposely knew and didn’t care and so on so it would’ve been better looking back for them to admit to it. They almost can’t now tho cause probably the whole Williams team now itself is completely different people that have really not much knowledge of it or are different and it’s been so long there is no point to stir everything up again.

Without a MASSIVE sponsor is basically impossible for any Brazilian to get to F1 to perform well. I raced sibe by side of Felipe Nasr in Karting andni can attest he IS a above average driver.

@@WBO-lp3cp yeah the dirty side of the track is BS. Suzuka had the pole on the dirty side of the track back in '87, '88 and '89, senna had the pole in the latter two and he didn't complain then. It's only in 1990 when he knew that Ferrari was better at Suzuka that he started complaining. He knew that if Prost got a better start he would lose the race.

[@laughingman3777]

I suspect he was bipolar. Not saying that as a bad thing, but he was capable of great empathy but sometimes acted like a sociopath. He was honest, and yet able to lie. He was a humanitarian but also extremely selfish. The two extremes of personality types leads me to suspect some kind of bipolarism.

[@NSBlanchi]

It gives me chills at how so much of his death was foreshadowed like a story. But it’s not, it’s all real. Yet so many warning signs and red flags were so obvious, but nothing stopped him from driving to that tragic fate.

[@DonisGP]

I know it feels like it was almost fate. No matter what he would go into that race and eventually lose his life even with all the red flags there were. A death the day before, a near death on friday, track safety in question, and even he himself had a bad gut feeling. One death should've been enough for that race the be stopped and rescheduled for another time. I dont know how they still went on with it. Almost as if it really was fate. Just sad that it could've been avoided

[@SiVlog1989]

I was 5 years old when that awful weekend took place at Imola, so I don't remember watching the coverage, but the more I think about it, the more I find myself comparing Ayrton Senna with Dale Earnhardt. Both of them were the personification of their disciplines, both of them had amazing driving skills, they both had plenty to say and both of them were (based on the D&D alignment chart) were chaotic evil drivers who probably could have achieved so much more if they'd been more consistent. While they had their controversial moments, their passing led to even their detractors looking back fondly at them

[@icrafterchips]

Let's not forget that in 1994 2 drivers also died on the track in the days leading up to the Daytona 500.

[@LightsOutLow]

Dale Earnhart also paid tribute to Senna that May 1 after the NASCAR race. Was very classy.

[@SiVlog1989]

@@LightsOutLow there are other similarities between them that occurs to me. While both of them had a reputation for ruthlessness, they also had moments of extraordinary compassion. At Spa in 1992, Senna risked his own life to stabilise Erik Comas, who was lying unconscious in his crashed car, saving his life. Similarly, at Talladega for the first race after the tragic death of Davey Allison, Dale Earnhardt said after winning the Die Hard 500 (of Davey Allison) "I'd run second to him in a heartbeat if it meant we could bring him back,"

[@SiVlog1989]

@@icrafterchips I remember seeing the footage of Rusty Wallace saying in the Drivers Briefing before the Twin 125's "I'm tired of losing my friends and my friends getting hurt, I dunno about you guys,"

[@tamezzodiac2862]

The other similarities is they almost felt like they knew there fate was yk there. They knew they were gonna die in a weird way. Dale told Richard that if they don’t do something to the cars it’s gonna end up killing someone and he died almost 30 minutes later in the last corner of the last lap. He also had made remarks earlier in the week ab how “safe” his helmet was and stuff. He also told his kid and Michael Waltrip that they were gonna run 123 to win the race. Well what are the odds that after everything that happened they end up 123 to win the race with Dale blocking for them. Dales wasn’t as profound as sennas but it seemed like some awareness. Senna flat out seemed aware he was gonna die didn’t know when but sometime. It’s like fate came knocking on the door and told him. Senna was a very caring and compassionate person but that weekend he seemed so desperate for it. We saw a different senna in a way. He was more vocal ab safety then ever and so on. It’s almost like he knew. He saw his fate through those other crashes. He didn’t know it was that race or the way it happened but he knew he probably might die in a race car. He had to continue tho in his mind he had 100% commitment to this point. He couldn’t back down now. Sid walkins even asked him why don’t you hang this all up you are the most accomplished f1 driver we kinda have right now if not ever why keep going. He simply said there are some things that are out of are control. I cannot quit I have to continue. Dale Earnhardt also said years before this got asked a similar question. They said u are the most accomplished stock car driver in America what’s in it still why take another risk? Is it worth it? This was basically after his dega crash in 96 that could killed him there. His response was sure to win. He didn’t give the exact same response as senna but it’s similar in a way like after everything they both felt obligated to continue on no matter the outcome. It’s just odd and I don’t believe in god really but those things aren’t explainable to me. Could all just be crazy coincidences but I don’t see it. Especially after Dale died the way the drivers won in his honor. His kid made the race winning pass in turn 4 at the same track that killed his father and won when they went back. Harvick won the exact same way in the same car Dale won the year before. Park his other driver won the following week after his death which isn’t too yk suspicious but it makes u kinda question everything and this world we live in. I don’t know all or see everything but the way they knew their fate in a way just doesn’t sit right with me and is odd…

[@charamia9402]

This was absolute quality, on par with big documentary production. The way you relayed the crash visually and auditory was especially gripping. Centering the story around his preferred hotel room added an extra dimension to it. I just watched the film 'Senna' last night, and you relayed information I thought should have been included there. I would actually say your way of relaying the weekend of Imola -94 was better than what they did. I wasn't actively watching F1 back then, but we would watch when we happened to catch it. Somewhere in distant memory I have this image of my younger brother and me visiting our cousin, walking away from the TV out of boredom after a halted race, hearing on the news later that a driver passed away. It must have been Imola as no other F1 death fits the timeline. It surfaced after Schumachers 41st win, when I researched Senna. That was the moment which turned into a passionate F1 nerd.

And I remember that fatal day too. At that time there was no internet so I couldnt find any information I could just wait. When he died I burst into tears. I couldn't imagine I will never see him again. I completely broke down, havent been at school for a week and couldn't stop crying. I was 18 at that time and told to my parents that I will love him for the rest of my life. And I guess I wasn't lying. He's got a special place in my heart and memories

One thing you forgot was Erik Comas. Senna had saved Comas from harm at Spa in 1992 and now, Comas was trying to return the favour, so he left the pit lane during the red flag and went to Tamburello to try and help. In his F1 car. At. Full. Speed. He was mercifully waved down just short of the accident scene and thank God he was, because that would have been a triple tragedy. Not taking anything away from this video, though. Very well done.

Our country was in an economic chaos during the early 90's, and this guy was an example of what we could be and do. I remember every details of this day, so much hope died with him, I remember running to my dads room and told him, "Ayrton crashed hard" and from the bottom of my teenage heart I already knew he was not coming back... it was one of the saddest days of my life and as you can see by the images of his funeral, it was one the saddest days of the Brazilian people too. The rest of the world have little notion of how much he was loved here as he seemed to be the only one bringing greatness and hope to our contry.

[@ivaneurope]

I think it's worth mentioning that aside of getting 0 points in his first two races, Senna was also convinced that the Benetton-Ford B194 driven by Schumacher was using some of the sytems that were banned for the 1994 season. Williams were also aware about his suspicions. However he couldn't prove that the Benetton car is illegal. So really Senna wasn't really in perfect state of mind by the round at Imola - he had his worst start of a season and he firmly believed that his championship rival uses an illegal car. And the events at the qualifying sessions with Barrichello and Ratzenberger made things even worse mentally for him. After the events at Imola the teams that finnished on the podium - Benetton, Ferrari and McLaren, were required to send their softwares for examination by the FIA technical delegates, headed by Charlie Whiting. While Ferrari complied within the deadline, Benetton and McLaren. McLaren eventually complied as well, but Benetton didn't due to "contract issues" and send the software very late. The Option 13 saga however is a totally different story outside the scope of this topic.

For some reason I couldn't believe them so basically I crying myself to sleep... Afterwards I stopped watching F1 for a few years. Senna was my childhood hero and still is to this day! At the time, we only had coverage of the Sunday race back in Romania so I only became aware of what happened to Roland a few years later when I started watching the races again and subsequently learning more about the sport. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this video together, it was not just a simple trip down memory lane for me... I actually learned a couple a things today. Kudos Perspective!

I'd also like to mention that right after the accident Erik Comas was driving and turned the corner coming up to the accident and he saw it was Senna that crashed. Erik Comas's life was saved by Senna in 1992 when Senna stopped his car and turned off Comas's engine so it wouldn't catch on fire due to leaking fuel. Erik Comas immediately stopped his car and wanted to get out and help but Erik felt the heaviest most tragic emotion he ever felt. Erik Comas wanted to help save Senna's life but he knew he was dead. Comas in his own words “There I was standing next to a man who, two years earlier, had saved my life, and I couldn’t do anything to help him, and that felt horrible.” Erik Comas quit Formula One after that season and this event would haunt him for the rest of his life. Erik's final comments about the accident in an interview “He saved my life and I came too late, and I am not a doctor, in any case, he was in worst shape than I was. his accident was different to mine. But to find me at his side feeling so powerless was such a horrible experience that after 10 years I have only recently been able to talk about it.” “For me, that was really the end of the book on F1,”
