Nearly three decades ago, Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna tragically passed away while engaging in his beloved pursuit: racing hard. Despite his unorthodox driving style—criticised by purists of his era for aggressively stabbing the throttle through corners instead of gradually easing into it—Senna dominated the sport. He thrived under intense pressure and adverse weather conditions, amassing an impressive record of 41 first-place finishes and 80 podiums over a decade. Today, there is one driver who embodies Senna's greatness: Max Verstappen.

    Max is aggressive. As was Senna, Schumacher, and Lewis in his early years. They don’t award WDC points for being polite. This isn’t little league.
  • @gorgonzola8084
    The funny thing is, Lewis Hamilton’s idol is Ayrton Senna. So in other words, Lewis is a fan of Max Verstappen’s driving skill and style.
  • @likilikiki
    People that praise Senna really have nothing to say about Verstappen's agressiveness. Both of them did and do what it takes.
  • @giannapple
    I’ve followed F1 since I was a teenager, which means 50+ years. What’s scaring about Max is that he has Senna’s ruthlessness, Prost’s intelligence, Villeneuve’s sensibility with the car, the adaptabllity of Alonso… and the list goes on. With one difference. Max doesn’t make mistakes (maybe apart the rookie years). Ever. He is PERFECT in any situation in any race. Tell me who other has achieved that, because l can’t think of any other drivers in the F1 history.

    Verstappen gets the best out of the car, that is what determines his driving style. With the 2021 Red Bull he was slower on the straights than the Mercedes, so he had to be aggressive in the corners to pass and beat them. Nowadays he doesn't take such risks because they are unnecessary; he can now pass on the straights as well or just drive away from the field from pole position.
  • Considering the price Max paid growing up, I think he fully deserves his success, and I wish him a good life.
  • @DoubleD_83
    I like that Max learned not idolising no one. I fear no men ,only my father,max ones said .
  • @sluischris
    For people that say Max is driving like a robot. That is true because he nowadays takes pole and creates a 25-30 sec gap with nr 2. Enough to switch tyres to set the fastest lap as well. And not showing that he could get a 1 minute or more gap as well. BUT he can also drive like Senna. Remember the rain in Brazil or his bumpercar racing when it is needed. And win those fights almost always.
  • @LovesNature88
    interesting..... but Max Verstappen is Max Verstappen and not Ayrton Senna. because I wouldn't want Max to end up like Senna😢💔
  • @henshin587
    I'm a big fan of Senna, to me what elevates him from any driver is his charisma, an aura that no other driver had or has. If he had survived Imola he could have potentially been a 6 time world champion. In terms of driving skill, IMO Max will go down in history as the best driver ever. He is simply a machine, makes no mistakes, if there's a 1% chance of an overtake he will take it and make it work.
  • @Dutch1961
    There is no top driver of all time. At most there is a top driver 'per era' if you want to differentiate between the different racing eras or 'until now' if you want to throw all of them on one large heap. Ultimately there will always be a next top driver.
  • in senna's era there was no internet and no british press to rile the fans up like they do now . senna will look down feeling good about that . if senna was just starting now , he wouldve got demonised by the brits more then verstappen and redbull
  • That's why I'm back to F1 🤩 when Senna died I've lost interest. But one day I saw Max driving and I saw Senna.. gosh. Some years later he is just something else like Senna. God save him safe! 🙏🚀
  • @fmg182
    7:05 that hug between Senna and Fangio: Senna took a step down of the podium, and said to him, "no-one can be above you / you are the nr. 1" or sth like that.. Juan Manuel FANGIO was Ayrton's idol. I love them both, they will never be equaled, different times and different standards for fitness, safety and show. Great video, great analysis, great investigation. Cheers! Saludos desde Argentina.

    2:04 Almost. ”Being a racing driver means you are racing with other people and if you no longer go for a gap that exists you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing.”
  • @henriquemoritz
    Really difficult to compare Senna and Max... but I believe Senna still stands out because of his incredible skill under rain. When the track conditions were bad, Senna was able to win despite of the equipment disadvantages.
  • It's hard to compare racedrivers from different era's. In the past there where shorter seasons with less races. Carreers where shorter and it was considerably more dangerous. If you had a major chrash, it was probably your last. Of course that influeced the racing too. I find it impossible to say anyone being the best of all time. One thing is for sure though. There is a very small group of people who qualify as one of the great ones. Max Verstappen certainly does.
  • @CoughingPig
    Still haven't figured out how Fangio survived so many WCs in such a deadly era .............
  • These comparisons are so stupid... in 1993/4 they raced like 15-16 races per season, today it's like 22 + sprintraces...
  • Senna and Verstappen are actually quite different, both in their approach and driving style. Senna was a long corner driver who had absurdly good car control and feel for the limit, Max is a short corner driver with a more manipulative and supple driver style, like Alain Prost. Senna was also an all or nothing kind of driver, Max isn't always like this, he goes 100% when he feels that it's his only way to win the race, but when his car his superior, he's actually quite careful.
