Probably as good a way as any to remember Ayrton Senna 15 years after that week end at Imola. On a side note, why Formula 1 does not organize something like this every year is beyond me, maybe they are afraid it would be more exciting than a real race?

After the jump, for those who have never seen it, a great documentary on Ayrton we have featured here in the past, don't miss it.

A Star named Senna

While on the subject of Senna and Prost, here is a documentary I had not seen before. Very nice interviews, in true Axis of Oversteer style, in at least three languages!
Fascinating the comments about concentration and the zen like state of mind Senna was able to achieve especially during qualifying.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did but take your time, it's almost one hour long.

Yabai!

Ok,  we did not want to single out the French, Japanese announcers get pretty excited with their motorsport too.  Here is a compilation featuring some of the epic Senna vs Prost battles narrated with with distinctive JDM flair!

Quite amazing,  Senna must have blocked Prost-o more times in one season than Schumacher did all of his opponents during his whole career. 

And Nick Heidfeld, who voiced his worries about accidents due to the new wide, flat front wings the 2009 cars will sport, might want to take a look at how close it's possible to race without crashing....or, as in the case of the 1990 Japanese GP, how you could put those wide wings to use by tossing your opponent into the weeds.








And here is the rest of it.
