In those days it was Clutch and manual gearbox. I remember reading that in that race senna had blisters in his right hand due to the frequent gear changes.

Brilliant Video Dare.

thanks Chris.

this enjoyable video brought back memories of how good ayrton was, how much I love(d) the guy and how much I still miss him

a unique complex man of whom Sir Frank Williams once  said: "....[as great as Ayrton was], he was a better man outside of the cockpit than in it."

R.I.P. Ayrton

thanks so much Chris. Both were great and the one with the song "Deliver Me" was poignant and very moving.

ayrton was a very special man and the videos you have posted do capture his remarkable intensity and charisma. Even people who had no interest in motor racing at all were held spellbound by him.

i think we will have to wait a very long time to see anyone near his equal.

Thank you Sennaman, but Aryton was one in a million. The best in my life time, that is for sure. :'(

Portugal GP win in the rain, thanks Chris for the brilliant vids.

the great ones show even more mastery racing in the wet than mere mortals and ayrton was to do that all over again at a wet European GP at Donnington in 1993.

so sad Donnington looks like it has been consigned to history as a F1 circuit now the latest developments have failed,
