I didn’t watch F1 for 12 years because of that, it broke my heart as a 9 year old kid.

I'm a 42. Seating in front of the TV with my family to watch him race was so good. Senna's funeral was the biggest one I've seen my whole life in Brazil. I was in 6th grade in school. The day after the accident, the schools were mourning him in a way I've never seen again. The kids were so quiet those days. During the breaks, we didn't hear the usual noise of kids chatting and playing. It was like all of us had lost a family member or a close friend. 😢

The idol of my life, followed Ayrton from Toleman days, that epic Monaco race in the rain that he should and would have won with 1 more lap, his brilliant first win with Lotus, 3 world championships, missed the start of his final race & came in to sit down just after the accident, total shock,, he had a gift from the gods
@JCDagz
I loved Ayrton more as a great human being than as a racing driver - and he was an amazing driver. Everyone felt the monumental loss when he passed away.

I remember it like it was last week. May 1, 1994 a beautiful spring day in Toronto. I got up early and made a big breakfast. Imola is 6 hours ahead of Toronto so race time for me was 7am. I also had my VCR set for recording. Saturday qualifying wasn't shown on TV then so it was Sunday morning I learned of Roland Ratzenberger's horrific fatal crash in qualifying. Senna hadn't finished in either of the first two events that year and after the re start my adrenaline surged seeing Senna jump into the lead, what a feeling ! ....a minute later the crash was a hard impact and watching the helicopter cam it became obvious this hero of mine was no more. I visited a friend in Sao Paulo in 2019 she told me how the entire country mourned. Still makes me emotional.

The very best of F1
@PABLO-t6u
He killed Senna .
@PatriciaDelaney-k4k
This was absolutely devastating 😢 💔 rest in peace Ayrton 🙏🙏🙏

Good designers make bad cars sometimes. Even Chapman, not all of his cars were champions. So I don't think Newey is entirely to blame. If anyone is to blame for the accident, it's the bastards who made the steering column extension out of a shoddy weld instead of making a whole new part.
@colinhamilton6493
Williams supposedly re welded the steering column instead of using a proper one. Karma is still getting Williams today for that disgusting mistake.
@xProReVoLuTiiON
why no one talk about ratzenberger...he died the day before
@fyrdraca77
Yet to this day he still clings to the tyre pressure BS excuse and doesn't admit it was the faulty steering weld that caused the accident. Such a hypocrite!
@oliverdots
Don't for one second ever feel guilt for Ayrton's death Adrian. Ayrton would never ever want that. He was the Genius, he knew so much and could feel so much in the car. He would blame himself, no one else. That's just not what Ayrton was about. I understand you were a huge part of the team but you all did what you could and then it was in Ayrton's hands once he left the garage. You are an amazing man in your field and Ayrton was in his. Ever lasting peace to both of you.

Late great Ayrton Senna❤
@JacksonX-h5w
F1 died that day for myself as Senna was the only reason to watch the races. I have never found a found driver that matches him on anything. 😢
@brandongohole4789
That must have weighed heavy on Newey but the FIA are to blame, the race was to be cancelled after the previous fatality
@VerySaneDr
RIP RR and AS. We were deprived of a lot that weekend.
@altinsilsile36
I was a massive fan of his. I was fortunate enough to see him race in the 1987 Adelaide GP. I stopped following F1 after his demise. He was the greatest.
@nealenewton4193
Ayrton Senna always drove at 11/10's, so it was always at least a 50/50 chance that he'd die racing. It's debatable if there's ever been a driver so unbelievably committed to the car as he was.
