That phrase “he was spectacular every single time he got in a car” gives me chills every single time

RIP Ayrton Senna (March 21, 1960 – May 1, 1994), aged 34
And
RIP Roland Ratzenberger (July 4, 1960 – April 30, 1994), aged 33
You both will be remembered as legends.

It's been 30 years this week. No way I can watch this without shedding down a few tears...

[henrydover-porter]

The fact that Schumacher put Senna as number one says something

I had the privilege of 'meeting' Senna in the early 90s at the Adelaide Hilton. I worked as a kitchen steward. My work mate and i were emptying bins down at the loading bay. A McLaren car pulled into the underground carpark. From a distance we could see a group of gorgeous looking women come out and one guy. As they came closer we could see it was Senna. We just stood their gawking in awe. He gave us a nod. He used the service lifts in the hotel to keep out of sight of the main public. The year he died the hotel had an atmosphere of gloom and sadness. We loved him.

I was on the grandstands in Silverstone in 91 near Becketts...the #1 McLaren passing through is one the most memorable things that I can remember...incredible driver

RIP Ayrton Senna

This TG episode is literally the beginning of everyone realizing how great he was on a larger scale than just F1 fans. My son is named after him for a reason, he truly was the greatest because he inspired and captivated what all drivers aspire to be and what fans want to watch.

Jim Clark had the feeling of everything going on in the car. Could detect a problem with suspension at max pelt. Lauda was a genius. Prost was the calculator. Senna was the instinct decision maker.

[liamthompson]

Ayrton Senna is simply the greatest of all time!!. Not just because of the man he was on track but because of the man he was off track.

What Jeremy Clarkson said at the end was very poignant but he is right on the money. He was spectacular every time he got in that cockpit.

To me one of the biggest moments in sports history is Ayrton winning in Brazil. The moment where he stepped onto the podium, and raised that trophy, it’s such an inspiring moment

That drive at Donnington, in the wet, flubs the start, then takes back 5 places in 1 lap to lead.

Not to soften to impact of Sennas other performances.

The man was amazing.

[OneWayTicketToTheMoon]

The best driver ever. Real men in real cars.

[richardcochrane]

I always recall Alain Prost's prophetic words not long before the crash - "Ayrton has only one problem - he drives like he thinks he can't be killed!"

[_Diamond-Dog]

I remember 94, f1 was never the same and it will never be the same
I miss you ayrton, always 😮‍💨

[redsidebiker]

He's the best I've EVER seen and I've been watching for 50 years

[renatodumaresq]

The only correction is: he was not loved for us, Brazilians, because of charity. But because he was our Sunday morning hero!

[shiftfocus]

May 1 1994, the race start was 6 am my time, and I was a bit late getting up. I tuned in to the overhead shot of Senna lying in the car, and I knew.

I had not realized what having a hero meant until I had lost mine.

When Senna came to europe as the new boy he was given a wild card ticket to join the race at the Nurburgring to celebrate Mercedes new 190E model. He was very young and it started raining there, as usual. He annihilated all the worlds best racing drivers in a new car and on a circuit he'd never seen before. He then got a test in Nikki Lauda's racing car and took nearly 2 seconds off his world championship winning speed. Mc Laren signed him there and then at the test, obviously. He arrived in europe as the Brazilian go cart champion

[PandA-yxne]

Love or hate Clarkson. He is a legend himself. This is one of the greatest pieces of motor-sport journalism.





In the world.
