Видео

I only discovered The Mobile Chicane channel recently, this is the 2nd video I've watched. The first was on Senna's Lotus years. I was so immersed that I didn't realise I'd been watching for over an hour. The same happened here. Absolutely fantastic

If you check the reliability record of Senna up until 1990, it shows that it wasn't luck. He punished his cars beyond the limit. Clark gets praised for how much care he took of his machinery, why shouldn't we apply this level of analysis to the rest? By that, not just praising a Prost for great reliability, but criticise those who pushed the car to breaking point and beyond. I get why Senna is so mystified and beloved, but in this facts are getting twisted and forgotten. Yes, he was the fastest, possibly ever. But faster and best are two separate things. Being consistent, error free, taking care of the car, etc. All those factors really go against Senna, and it's the difference between ranking him as the best ever and imo a more realistic 3rd-4th.

Always wanted more detail on the Senna Lotus period which isn't as well documented as it is here. Thank you for the quality in documenting this

RIP Elio, Elio was the prince of JPS/Lotus in my view.....

great work

Senna in Lotus,My favorites years 😎👌

Your work is the best of RUclips have. Don't worry the view's are coming.

If you look at the 1987 Lotus you can clearly see how they lagged behind in the development race. A bulky machine, with an outdated high and straight nose-cockpit section compared the much more slick Williams. It always looks like Senna is much higher in the cockpit than Mansell, or Piquet and Prost

This is a fascinating film but a bit too Senna fanboy-esque. Why not ask why De Angelis had vastly superior reliability in an identical car? Surely Senna was breaking the car. He was also using more fuel to get his speed than other drivers, hence the multiple empty tank scenarios? Don't get me wrong, Senna is one of the all-time greats, but I tend to think he is overly eulogised. If we applied the same " perfect season" approach to Mansell, he would have been 4x WDC. Alain Prost possibly 7-8x...

Very ASMR.

Forensic but never dull, didn't know so much of this, thank you for creating it

The Renault engine, was powerful, but not fuel efficient. Hence the poles, but not wins. When Lotus used Honda, they were using year old engines. They didn't have any real chance of competing with Williams or McLaren works teams. Senna, was easily the quickest driver of his era. I was a Lotus fan, first and foremost, it was a shame they didn't give Senna the car he deserved.

Always wondered about the Senna Lotus days.. I mean I watched and read about it, but it wasn't documented as this video is... Thank you for the wonderful upload. Senna Definitely is one of the best, maybe the best F1 driver. We miss the Magic Senna.

Brilliant! Wonderful view and execution!

An absolute stunning documentary, highest possible standard…!!! 👍👍👍 😊😊😊 👋👋👋

As expected, you’re always delivering us the quality content we need! I made sure to watch this with my dad and translate what he couldn’t understand on the go. Afterwards, we both came to the same conclusion: this was Senna’s first dance, and it was Lotus’ last. The team threw everything and the kitchen sink to provide him with the opportunity, but it wasn’t enough for Senna to fulfill both his potential and destiny. While Lotus’ best days were long gone, Senna alone gave us one last reminder of what they were capable of, even if on occasion. That you summed up perfectly, in my opinion! Thank you for all your hard-work and quality! I can’t wait to see what you got coming next for us!

👀 Of all the 20 poles achieved by Lotus between 1979 and 1994, 16 were set by Senna between 1985 and 1987. His last one was taken at the 1987 San Marino GP, after which a Team Lotus car never started from first place on the grid again. And his last victory at Lotus (Detroit 1987) proved to be the last for that beloved and much-missed team. Cars powered by Renault in 85 (8 cars) and 86 (6 cars) took 16 poles, 15 of them by Senna alone. And 5 victories, 4 of them by Senna alone.

Brilliant documentary

While what Senna did to Warwick was lousy it also must be said Derek passed up the Williams-Honda for Renault. Bad move Derek.

Senna’s ‘85 reliability sort of reminds me of JP Jabouille’s time at Renault - he (Jabouille) only ever scored 3 times. 2 wins, and a 4th.

Excellent video on a largely overlooked era.

Warr’s hatred of Mansell bordered on irrational. In Peter’s defence though - it took Nigel forever to win comparatively.

Ohh new intro! Gonna enjoy this one a lot!

Brilliant as always. I've no idea how you keep finding all these interesting topics, when no one else can.

Such a good video I’m going to have to watch it again.

I'm struggling to come up with words for your quality of output. Seriously, this is more amazing than that yellow helmet in that black and gold Lotus.

Nicely done ✅

I'm not really a Senna fan, but Senna's time at Lotus is what I want to remember of him. He was still and always an asshole on track but didn't really yap on about politics and spiritualism with the arrogance that he would do when he started winning at McLaren.

For me the big "what if" is, what if Chapman hadn't passed away when he did and still been alive in 1985. Chapman and Senna. That would have been quite the combination.

Awesome watch as always Chicane 🎉

This video is amazing keep up the great work

great video wrong as he may have been on other subjects, Warr had a fair point when it came to Senna's culpability for the reliability record of the Renault engines young Senna had a win-or-nothing mentality that produces great wins, what-ifs, but not championships, particularly when you account for the fragility of F1 machinery in the 1980s he was already the quickest driver in F1 by 1985, but the reason drivers like Prost or Piquet (when he thought he could win) were better is that they could grind out great results while nursing their cars to the finish by 1988 Senna had learned from experience (and had the example of Prost on the other side of the garage, as well as McLaren's institutional focus on the longer term picture) and was the full package the interesting what-if would be, what if Williams had been ruthless and ditched Laffite for 1984 to make room for Senna...

1:00:22 Goatifi WDC HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOO

its not as good as the benetton legacy of schumacher, senna had to flee to the dominant team to win titles and then fled from them when there was a new dominant team, schumacher made team dominant then went and made another team dominant

There's no blue in Sennas helmet.. what is he talking about? 0:22

My favorite F1 channel on RUclips. Your quality is always so consistent, anything you post I watch as soon as it's recommended.

Every day Mobile Chicane releases a new vid is always a day to celebrate!!!!!!

Just a fabulous upload. I enjoyed it very much. Thankyou.

Make a video of Schumacher's wins in 1996 with a tractor

easily one of your best videos to date! i would love your videos in a podcast format on spotify as well. they’re so well made and so thoughtful. I look forward to each and every one of them. please keep up the amazing work🫡
