Last Time onboard With ayrton senna. Imola 1994

This is the last onboard footage of Ayrton senna before his death.

RIP 1960-1994

[SennaStar]

Ayrton Senna was too good for this world

[LCSMisterGames]

Senna didn't die, he's one lap ahead of us.

Williams deleted the last 2 seconds of the film. When senna hit the wall

[Gribochek]

Williams made history as a team that destroyed the best pilot in history.

By the movement of yellow button and his left hand I reach the inescapeable conclusion that the entire steering wheel was seriously trembling. Senna looks directly at his steering wheel in 0:26 and again in 0:38, which is moments before the column breaks, so he noticed that something was wrong.

[antheusmain]

Every time I watch this I get goosebumps.

[gabrielfanin]

I think i am going to cry rigth now...i loved this man so much...the best F1 driver of the history

[mythmasterchief]

The best driver and man with the worst misfortune...

[dbo]

Oh God, this is terrifying. Right when he enters Tamburello, you can just see him go off the racing line, and then it just ends.

One of the saddest things I've ever witnessed, I was young, but I remember it.. Have watched on boards of this from time to time, and always end up crying 😢rip Ayrton, you were the best

If only, the steering column broke at a very slow corner, Senna might still be with us.

You can see the yellow button move slowly downward and disappear right before the steering straightens out and points him into the wall. When you think of how metal reacts when you're bending it and putting force on it how it goes from strong at first then to weak and snapping off completely this result makes sense, especially when the weak point is a significantly smaller cylinder that's subjected to high gravitational forces . That yellow button getting progressively more wiggly and then snapping away at the height of the g force in the high speed corner can only mean that the steering column failed. It's pretty disgusting how this can be obfuscated by companies and businessmen to avoid the negative press and impact of the brands involved, never mind the criminal implications of putting a human being into a powerful race car with such a low threshold of quality and safety. I've even watched Damon Hill, his teammate at Williams at the time, seriously suggest in an interview that he thought what had happened was a result of driver error. That shows the disgusting lengths that people will go to for money or to gain favor with powerful people, it's incredible. I'm willing to bet that Senna felt a difference in the car over the course of the race. The response to the wheels from steering and the balance of the car had to feel extremely unreliable due to the structural rigidity of the carbon fiber tub that was in an accident the previous race and the high twisting forces the race before. If there was a crack in the tub the part of the car that would feel like the center would most likely move as the g-forces increased and decreased, with more driver corrections being needed, he probably had to fight the car more than normal. Knowing that the race was important to his chances of a championship he most likely assumed that the sluggishness in the steering was most likely related to the terrible handling and overall poor condition of the car. There's no way he would've driven the way he did if he knew the result would be complete loss of steering. He probably thought that his steering would slowly degrade. He would have never continued if he knew the quality of workmanship that was done to the column, which isn't something that you would be able to see just by looking at it. What happened was criminal negligence and that conclusion is the same as the one that the Italian courts came to in 2007, its disgraceful to Ayrton Senna, his family, and his fans to suggest anything else unless its based in fact and can be backed up with evidence. Ayrton Senna was a great human being and should be given the same respect that any of us would want for ourselves.

Obrigado por cortar o vídeo antes de mostrar o momento que destrói nossos corações.

Yeah spotted something. I was reluctant to believe the broken column theory but... when he's straightening the car up after exiting that last corner, look at the yellow button. It jolts horizontally by an inch or more. It wasn't like that earlier in the race or in quali. I think that's the key to what happened

[octavioaugusto]

For the people questioning the steering wheel theory: just watch the warm up lap to this race, where Senna describes the circuit to the French TV channel. The yellow button is not jumping around like that.

[imsociallyawkward]

There's something so horribly eerie about this footage, the engine sound with nothing else, the flickering and glitching of the camera, and knowing that the person in the car is going to die shortly. I simply can't put my finger on it.

[DEJAICE]

I was 14 years old when Senna died and then, as now, no one can convince me that he died by accident ... let the angels protect you, you remained forever in your heart and the only one on the planet!

[paulocesarbarbosa]

Certeza absoluta que a barra de direção quebrou e deixou a Willians sem controle, o Ayrton fez a tangência da curva certa não tinha como o carro simplesmente sair direto pro muro sem um defeito mecânico, foi uma fatalidade muito grande mas que a verdade seja dita, a quebra da barra de direção aconteceu e tirou a vida do Ayrton Senna.

[danish]

The safety of the car has definitely improved so much.remember robert kubica's accident hitting concrete wall at about the same speed as this one and looked more horrible than senna's crash.

[nickolauser]

This is the beginning of the end of F1 golden era
