AYRTON SENNA
1960-1994
1960-1994
Thirteen years without the greatest
For most F1 lovers the first day of May signifies a memory on the tragic event from the year 1994, the death of one of the greatest drivers of all time - Ayrton Senna.
Ayrton's life was a life of a winner, coming in second was of no interest to him. His image was shaped by lots of "regular" people who followed him all the way from his humble beginnings in Brasil to that fatal 7th lap of The San Marino GP, which took place on May 1st, 1994.
Since in these last 13 years practically everything has already been said about his life, this year we have decided to do a tribute to Senna by showing the most interesting video footage of the internet's most popular video site, YouTube.
His last lap - San Marino GP

The day before Senna's death another driver has lost his life in Imola, Roland Ratzenberger. Most drivers didn't want to participate in the race, in spite of that the race was still held. Relive Senna's last lap, from the car view, one more time.
Estoril 1992. - Press Conference
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-29...li/automotosport/page/2007/04/30/0349006.html
One of the most interesting Press Conferences was held after the Estoril race in 1992, where Senna verbally attacked his biggest rival Alain Prost.
Honda NSX - Suzuka

One of Senna's biggest virtues was the fact he adapted to new cars extremelly quick. As he has raced with a Honda engine for quite a long time, that Japanese manufacturer has gave him as a present their best serial-proudction car, NSX, which he has used to make one lap on the Suzuka track.
Senna vs. Prost - The duels
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jndd...li/automotosport/page/2007/04/30/0349006.html
All great drivers had their own personal nemesis. Senna's biggest rival was The Proffesor Prost. Rememeber some of their biggest duels from the times they were racing with different teams to the times they raced against each other under the same colors.

RIP Senna. The above was translated by me from TPortal
It all makes sense now, Vlatko. You were a Senna fan and Schumi came and stole his thunder, that's why you hate the legend. I am happy for all these haters that they finally got Alonso to make them smile, let me guess, you supported Hill, Hakinnen, Villeneuve, Coulthard and then finally you settled on Alonso.
I didn't know you have such a bad memory Jack. This is the third time I'm saying this, I was a kid in the early 90's, I fell in love with the red & white colors of McLaren because of my family and the greatest driver ever, Ayrton Senna. Ever since Senna died I supported only McLaren, no drivers, just McLaren. I liked certain drivers like Button, Kimi and now Alonso and Hamilton, Kubica as well, but NONE of these drivers made my heart pump like it did when I watched Senna. I was a kid then and I was easily influenced, by my older brother and father, I simply fell in love with that car and it has stuck with me ever since.
You can say and think what you want but Schummi plays the least part in my view of F1. I didn't like none of those drivers you just mentioned, especially Hakinen. Schumacher is a great driver but lots of others before him were great as well, just that some of them didn't have a utterly dominant car for 4 straight years. I respect him, but I don't like him, never have and never will.
Schumacher stole Senna's thunder?
But why am I even explaining myself to a completelly blinded Schumacher fanatic?
