Just How Good Was… Ayrton Senna

Since he is in Brazil, he is in my heart, he always has been. I loved him even though I never met him. He is someone who I aspire to be one of the best to ever do in F1. We will always hear the stories about the legacy we always live like the

good

guy could also be the killer he is the greatest in history a legend when discussing the conversation of the greatest racing driver of all time a few names are always mentioned but one seems stand among the crowd, a driver known not only for his accomplishments on the track but also for the impact he had off it.

It would be difficult to find anyone today, racing enthusiast or not, who does not recognize the name Aton Senna, but how

good

he was. Well, let's find out because you're watching Quattro cam, my name is Alex and that's how good he was and Senna now one of the biggest question marks about anyone, given the Monica, the greatest of all time is who they often competed against the argument. What weighs on many gray sporting figures is how competitive the era was when Senna is not one of these seen during his brief time in F1. Senna would race alongside some of the greatest athletes, four-time champion Alan Prost, who exists in CNA. and right behind him is Alan Prost, now Prost is going to be very excited.

Prost dives into the Center. I'm sure it's a big deal while Alam pross passes by. They are Alam Pros, the world champion who wins in Mexico. Alam Pros wins for Ferrari, three-time champion driver, Nelson. P, the only other thing you can do is whether to make contact or C to make contact with him. C you see move to the right, which makes it difficult and Nelson goes around him on the outside. Oh, Nelson's big side and he almost contacted tremendous things with an F1. The drivers and Indie Car champion Nigel Manel with Alan Pro are apparently going to win it and Mansel amazingly going around the outside to second place, he took that second place back.

An absolutely brilliant move by Manel. Fantastically. These brave drivers were in their best years. great at the top of his game, but despite this, Sener would stand out as something very different now, if you look at the stats they would suggest that Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettle, Michael Schumacker and One Man Fangio were all better than the Senate, but if you really ask. Racing drivers, including some of those mentioned above, will all say one name. I think Sen, I'll put him at number one. Uh, for me. Sena is number one for me. He was number one. I'll put Sena as number one for me.

Sena, without a doubt, was him. Number one, I'll put it at number one. You know he was definitely the best driver. If you ask me, I also put Sen at number one and he, not

just

the drivers, the statistics also support Senna as the maestro if you take a look at the poll positions. won by drivers Senna is in third place behind Leis Hamilton and is between Michael Schumacker and Sebastian Vettle, but if you look a little closer you will see that no one is close to him if you consider the ratio of entries and pole positions, which is, for Of course, except the Legendary drivers Jim Clark and Fangio are possibly two drivers who could compete for this crown against the Senate and show how far ahead they really were from the rest, but by seeing Sena's exploits in action, we can see the qualification for Monaco in 1988 against his teammate and future four-time champion Alan Frost, Hall of Fame driver, in his own center wood, he set a time one and a half seconds faster than this four-time champion and remember this is the main Prost, won two of his four championships in '86 and '89.

Just one season after this qualifying in Monaco, Senna often drove around the famous streets of Monte Col with one hand when manual gearboxes still existed in cars of Formula 1. Senna often took corners at over 80 mph. Senna not only developed the speed that he always had. In his rookie season in 1984, he would make arguably the greatest Drive of all time. Under an immense downpour, the young rookie Center would fly through the streets of Monaco while the Champion and Champion crashed off the track. The Young Center would charge the ground. and shaving second after second off future teammate and future four-time champion Prost, who would eventually stop his car in the middle of the track and complain to the stewards that it was too wet to drive and perhaps too wet for any man. to race with, but Senna was no man, this wet pace would become something Senna was known for at Donnington in 1993 in a car inferior to his rivals.

Senna would weave his way through the pack as if he were dry driving while his competitors battled. Driving in the wet as if he were in a different reality or Dimension than those around him, this ruthless speed was only matched by Center's ruthless racing ability, which often put him and the other drivers in an accident position. and let his opponents decide their path. destiny, a high speed game of chicken that the Brazilian maestro would win most of the time, showing his mental strength with a high level psychological warfare beating the drivers not only on the track but also in his minds.

Once Senna had your number, the game was over, he knew what. what you would do before you could do it, he was literally five moves ahead of you to show how ruthless and merciless the Brazilian was in the 1990 Japanese Grand Prix. Senna would win the championship if his former teammate and future four-time champion Alan Frost couldn't finish the race so Senna did what only Senna could do: he ended Prost's race in the first corner because if Prost didn't win, Senna would go and Senna pulls away, vanel FR takes the lead. Has happened. Alam Prost took the lead.

Center is trying to pass inside and it happened immediately, this is incredible. The center fires in the first quarter and, uh, that's a very sad way for this year's exciting World Championship to end. Note the distinct lack of IT smoke. Senna was playing chess while his rivals were playing checkers and I mean, literally, Senna used to play chess with master tactician Frank Williams. He developed his mind, not only was his driving center built to win, every fiber of his being was focused on one thing, winning because if you can't do what it takes to win, you will only come second to being a racing driver. , you are at risk all the time and being a racing driver means that you are competing with other people and if you are no longer looking for a gap that exists, you are no longer a race driver because we are competing, we are competing to win and the main motivation for all of us It is competing for a victory, or you engage as a professional racing driver designed to win races, or you come in second, or you finish third, or I come in fifth and I am not designed to come in third, fourth or fifth.

I race to win whenever I think it's possible. It wasn't

just

speed and ruthlessness that Senna had in his Arsenal, he was also an expert tactician. Sener would sit down and discuss every aspect of the car and the tracks to make sure the man-machine was as synchronized as possible. Senna worked as hard off the track as he did on it, in an area where racing drivers were like rock and roll stars. Senna remained focused and planted. proving that hard work beats talent and hard work with God-given talent is unstoppable. His career engineer, Pat Simmons, is one of the few people who was able to see this firsthand.

There was an area in Dallas where almost everyone hit the wall. He crashed there too when I got back to the pits, he said, I just can't understand how I did it, that I wasn't taking it any different than I had before the wall moved, we thought yeah, sure, sure the walls moved, he was very insistent on this so after the race we went out and had a look, the wall had moved, it was concrete blocks and someone had cut it out, moved it just a few millimeters and I mean just a few millimeters and he had been judging that perfectly Sen did all this while Driving what can only be described as a jet engine on wheels, racing cars of the time had very little downforce, making them twitchy and twitchy, Add in the 1,200 horsepower engines that have 200 horsepower more than modern cars, even with their electric assist, and you can begin to understand how much skill is required to keep these cars in the correct position, but outside of all this, Sen was also one of the most compassionate people to ever walk the surface of the Earth, he was deeply religious and believed in living life directly before your eyes. of God even risking his own life to save the lives of others Friday morning was nice and sunny, but not for Eric KZ, who crashed hard in the fast sweep of the bimore before the pits.

Eron Senna was the first to arrive at the accident site and rushed over. To help the immobile Frenchman at Spar in 1992, Sen would stop his car and run around the track, avoiding the cars of his fellow competitors by inches so he could check on the well-being of driver Eric Komas when he reached the car, Komas was unconscious, Sener turned off the engine . So to prevent a fire and I stood there in the middle of the track holding Kass's head up to help protect his spine, he literally stood in the middle of a live race track to make sure someone else was okay, so I didn't realize right away that it probably saved my life, but then I talked to the engineers and I saw the car, how the car was destroyed and I saw the photos and all the leaks in the car.

Well, it's a day that perhaps without it I wouldn't be able to talk about today. He often spoke about singing a charity foundation to help children in his home country, Brazil, and this is what added to Sen's magnetism, on the one hand he took drivers off the track risking their lives in the search for the podium and, on the other, risking his own life to save another driver's, sacrificing time and money to improve the lives of those less fortunate that his own Senate even donated $400 million to Children's Charities during his career, a fact that only It was learned after his death because he wanted to avoid publicity, Senna gave everything he had to those around him in 1989.

Senna and fellow driver Geart Begger would walk with Imer to see what they could do to improve the safety of the course, stopping at Tamborello corner, they climbed through a partition in the retaining wall to investigate. surroundings Senna wanted to move the bag from the retaining wall but there was a river right behind it and he was afraid that someone would die there. Returning in 1994, Senna would witness the death of Austrian driver Roland Ratsenberg in qualifying. This had a profound effect on Sener, who taped an Austrian flag on his car as a tribute which he planned to reveal at the end of the next day's Grand Prix, a fact that no one knew, Senna would never be able to fly Rasenberger's flag while leading the race, Senna he would go off on the curve. remained in those five years before Senna was right about something: someone would die in that corner May 1, 1994 is probably the best known day in F1 history in which the world lost possibly its best driver and definitely to his best son. would continue to save lives after his death days of mourning were declared in Brazil and over 3 million people lined the streets for his funeral procession, such was the impact of his death that security was now front and center which had Possibly the sport's greatest promoter of all time. something that cannot be allowed to happen again and it is difficult to find a word, if there is one, when you think of all the drivers who have lost their lives unnecessarily, how Senna's death was necessary and not any of these others drivers to really make things change so that Sena was a different species, a driver who not only had the god-like talent of Rem, but also an immense dedication to his craft, a win-at-all-costs attitude, but with compassion for their fellow drivers and humans.

Senna was perhaps the perfect athlete, the perfect human being. So what do you think of the question of how good Senna was? Where would you rank it among the greats? Is Senna the best of all time? What we can say with certainty is that Senna wasn't just a once-in-a-generation talent. Senna was Senna nothing can compare no one will be the next Center there will only be one there will only be one Aon Center I'm not going to lie, that was probably one of the hardest scripts I've ever had to write and read, especially the last few paragraphs I really hope I didn't wrong about anything, so go easy on me if I do.

It was not my intention and I have the utmost respect for everyone I have mentioned in this video, they were truly the best drivers driving in The Greatest Moment in F1 History and I hope to make more videos about each and every one of them.
