Almost 30 years since I first watched this, i still think it’s one of the best F1 documentaries. Look at the contrast of Mika’s emotions, before (full of confidence) and after (dejected) the race.

This documentary has aged like the finest wine. The almost unfiltered access that it gets to the driver inputs, Ron's thoughts, the behind the scenes stuff puts overhyped manufactured shows like DTS to shame.

Lovely moment between Ron and Ayrton @15:00
Two of the absolute best @ their respective jobs and the mutual respect just radiates.

Shame Drive to Survive can't be like this. If you can't accept F1 for what it is then don't watch it because there are too many clueless people being attracted to the sport through the misinformation they're getting from that badly edited Netflix "reality" show.

Incredible to think Senna was gone mid way through the next season, his first with Williams.

10:52 what a nice moment from the 3 legends of this sport. I was born in 1995 and I didn't have an opportunity to witness those times so this documentary is very interesting, especially for someone who prefer McLaren and Ron Dennis over Ferrari and their politics :) I'm going to watch all episodes. Dennis, Senna, Hakkinen is magical trio for me. Thank you for uploading.

SENNA was sumthing else the C, P, U saying the engine is fine and Good to go but he chould here it was not 100% and he was Right. This was my time falling in love wit F1 as a 12 year old when this was made I miss them Day's because F1 today whould put you to sleep its that boring need to bring back cars like them Good old day's.

Thank you for uploading these. Why this series was never released on dvd is beyond me, a totally different insight into the world of F1. Very interesting.

[Neersg]

Ron dennis is quite an inspirational figure in f1

[alexraghunath]

Dennis is such a bizarre character. In this episode alone he makes many quite uncomfortable situations (parading around correcting engineers and the Senna chat) and then at the end he does a really good job with Mika after his crash. It's almost like he revels in making everyone else feel awkward lol

As an American, I was really hoping that Michael Andretti's ride would have worked out. But I'm happy to see Mika stepped up to the challenge. Early 90s had the best looking cars and the races were a lot more exciting to watch.

[wolfgangmarkusgstrein]

Nowadays the technology is fully maxed out and that leads to uniform solutions. That in turn takes away the excitement that one tries to compensate with the help of the sophisticated rulebook. However, this only works until everything has been fully restricted. Fact is, that this sport is ruined by its own high standards. When you look at what attracts todays F1 watchers (a fan is a whole different type of person) most than it is car livery, helmet design or drivers salary. The most superficial and least entertaining things Motorsport can provide. These watchers then consider themselves experts by putting on nerdy YT videos. This is all crap!
I started becoming a Formula 1 fan in 1976 and man, it was excitement at its absolute peak which was held on a constant level from one year to the other. Demanding racetracks that have been integrated into nature, powerful and good-looking cars, real driver personalities and stories. Synonymous with 1986 season. Nothing left!

Loved McLaren from 93 to 99

A brilliant series, lots of background info great footage genuine fly on the wall documentary, shame its not repeated on TV. Its better than some of the Drive to survive episodes on Netflix!!
