Ayrton Senna Onboard F1 lap Monaco

[J Reinhardt]

Such an amazing driver. Those F1 cars looked like beasts to handle. No traction control, abs, power steering, manual gearbox. You have to fight it to keep it under control.

He was amazing.

[Intrepidation]

Took some pretty big ball bearings to do that.

[A Horse With No Name]

Absolutely.  Perhaps the greatest driver ever.  Shame he passed before his time.

Senna was one of the greats of Formula One, if not even the greatest. It is such a shame that he passed away whilst his full potential was hidden. I would have hated to be a driver back then, knowing that your life was on the line without all the modern safety features that we have today...

Definitely one of the best there ever was. Even today, Monaco is such a tough track to handle, and that's with all the sophisticated technologies they have in the cars today. The amount of skill and talent needed to maneuver those cars at such high speeds around that track is insane, can't even begin to imagine the adrenaline rush from driving around Monaco.
