Second

race of the season and Senna takes off in his Lotus in first place.

The rain simply won't let up here in Estoril.

It's pretty much impossible to drive here.

The rain is pouring here in Portugal.

Conditions of the Estoril...

After switching control of Montalbão, Desaixo

seems closer and closer to his first Formula 1 win.

The weather conditions are terrible right now in Estoril.

The rain is going down.

Senna seems closer.

And Keke Rosberg is out.

He's spun out.

Look at that.

All the cars will be out of the race.

All the cars will be out of the race.

This race has to end now.

You know, that's up to the race director to decide.

Well, I'm sure he could be persuaded.

To benefit your driver.

Last year, you interrupted Monaco.

The race was abandoned to Prost's advantage.

Alain lost the championship last year because of that interruption.

Peter, you know the rules.

The winner only gets half the points in an interrupted race.

But Prost wasn't going to win that race, Balestra.

He wasn't even going to finish it.

He'd have lost the championship anyway.

Have some champagne, Peter.

It's a good shot.

He's lost control.

Alain Prost spins!

Alain Prost is out of the race!

After aquaplaning and spinning on the main straight,

leaving the track and crashing against the guardrail.

The French driver was doing well in the race, but is now forced to retire,

leaving D'Angelo second and Alvaretto in third place.

He comes out of his car, seems to be all right, but

these terrible conditions work too much for Prost.

Laura.

Thanks, Ron.

This is a lost cause.

It's impossible to race under this rain.

It's dangerous, too.

I see.

He's coming

for his first Formula One win, the fantastic Brazilian driver, Ayrton Senna.

Last year, in Doleman, his win was taken away under the Monaco rain.

But not this year.

This year, nothing can stop him.

Not even the rain, my friend.

He overcomes everyone and wins in Portugal.

Finally found a worthy opponent now.

Promising.

Promising.

Go, go, go, go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Only

one of the greats could have won in those conditions, and you fucking did it.

We did it!

You did it, Ed.

Well done, Beko.

Congratulations.

This was just the first.

There are more coming to you.

Right.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Stay out of trouble, Beko.

Our

Beko is where he wanted to be, right?

My first win.

Give me the ball.

There you go, champ.

Calm down.

It was just my first win.

Well, I'll tell you, Niki Lauda's happy with three titles, so he's about to retire.

Mansell will never be more than just promising.

The Frenchman will come close, but he'll be the

runner-up again, and you'll be crowned champion.

Want to bet, huh?

And what do you know about Formula One, Gauvon?

Oh, fuck off.

Come on.

The championship is just beginning.

It's one race after another, my friend.

Beko, no one's faster than you in Formula One.

Everyone saw what you did here, and now you have a championship-winning car, man.

You're at Lotus now, my friend.

We're working on the car, but we need to improve.

We're losing grip on the corners, we're... Whoa, whoa, whoa, shh!

Ayato, wait, don't get sidetracked.

Come on, look.

Pichipaldi was champion with Lotus in 72.

Now it's your turn to be a champion in this car.

Hope so.

And I mean, Brazilians could use something to celebrate, right?

Fucking hell, you keep getting screwed every day, my friend.

So, Beko, just stop being grounded for now.

Let yourself dream a little and fucking fly, will you?

Trust me.

It's your time now.

And now, we invite to the stage the 1986 Formula One champion...

Alain Prost!

Bravo.

Thank you.

If this is going to happen every year, it wouldn't hurt, I guess.

Good evening, everyone.

First, I would like to thank my team, my client, and the man behind it all...

Ron Dennis.

I would also like to thank the federation that makes the F1 show possible.

Winning a world championship two years in a row is a very big achievement for any team.

And those are the people I would like to thank.

The pit crew, the race engineer, all of the people

at the McLaren factory who built this incredible car.

Without them, we would not be able to race, let alone win.

This has been a phenomenal year for Formula One,

and I am very proud to be part of this sport.

Thank you.

Hey, Alain.

May I have a cigarette?

You're a lot.

I already lit one for you.

Nice.

See it yourself.

No one's interested in me anymore, Laura.

I'm old news.

Well, to be honest, I was surprised to see you here tonight.

I only came to see you.

Very flattered.

We both know you're only here for the free bar.

Cheers.

Madden, you'll be unbeatable this season.

There is no faster combination than you in a Lotus.

I only won two races this year.

Oh, Madden.

You finished fourth in only your third season in Formula One.

That's one hell of a result.

I want to be first.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Evening.

I'm excited for our partnership to begin, Gojo-san.

As are we.

Absolutely.

I hope to learn a lot from you, Senna-san.

Me too, Nakajima-san.

All your hard work bringing Honda to Lotus was worth it.

The Honda engine will make all the difference to our team.

We already had the best driver, and now we have the best engine.

We still don't have the best car.

Atonement's history.

Benetton will take charge from now on.

I'm tired of all this.

Atonement had its charms.

And it had Senna.

Chat was quick as lightning.

Crazy about winning.

And he had the work ethic of a monk.

Heart and mind together.

But...

He had to leave us like that.

Must have been hard finding out second-hand that he signed with Lotus.

I heard it from you.

Leaving already?

You always leave too soon.

I don't like parties.

Not as much fun as motor racing, are they?

Come on, then.

How was it?

Leaving our greasy garage behind?

You left too?

So you tell me.

I didn't have much choice, did I?

After you left us.

Without warning.

I had a clause in my contract.

Bullshit.

You know, I really believed I could give you a winning car.

I know, Alex.

And I am very thankful for all your effort.

No hard feelings, are they?

No hard feelings?

The best driver wants the best car.

That's all part of the game.

To treat me like you do And told me of yourself And I

thought I was a mistake because Was this a good idea?

So, Bonza and Senasa, what brings you here together?

We have a proposition.

We have a proposition for you.

We do.

I'm sorry, I need to choose my next song.

I want to hear the proposition.

I'm going to let Ayrton explain what we're thinking.

Me and Prost at McLaren with the Honda engine.

It's the fastest driver in the two-ton model.

It's the three-time world champion on the same team.

Best team possible.

Guaranteed to win.

Piquet just signed with Lotus.

He's a three-time champion.

And Lotus has our engine.

Honda-san, respectfully, Lotus is an excellent team.

But even with your engine, they don't make

cars that fight for the championship anymore.

You know that.

And with drivers like us fighting for the title on

the best team, you'll have the attention of the press.

You don't care about the press, Senasa.

You want to be a champion.

Winning the championship means the best press for everyone.

Do you sing?

Yes.

No?

Will he accept having Sena as team-mate?

For a Honda engine?

Absolutely, yes.

Is the Dream Team going to work?

If we lose, I certainly won't be able to blame the drivers.

Is there a first and second driver?

That's it.

You've been rivals for the past four years.

And now you're on the same team.

Not rivals anymore?

Good fun.

We'll have good fun this year.

If we fight, maybe we fight outside the car or...

I think it's going to get very, very exciting.

The championship and... Is it possible to be equal in the championship?

To have a tie, no?

No.

Oh, shit.

There can only be one winner.

As far as the driver's championship is concerned,

these two are tied with one victory each.

And whoever is the first with eight wins will become the 88 World Champion.

That's

a big fight for Ingyi's championship.

It'll be amazing when Ignirti is crowned in bronze by the Giants there.

Jeff Willis is number one?

No, because the Giants know his bestesperVO Well played.

And we all know that you think that you can beatсят at this game.

Yeah, that's true.

He has to do a good run in front of the front Kritter's.

...but he keeps stepping on the gas, trying to cut the difference.

Crossed his P2.

P2.

He just recorded the fastest lap.

Is he closing in?

He can't catch you, just keep your head down.

That's it.

Just bring it home.

There's no need to push.

That's it.

Slow down.

There's no need to push.

He keeps pushing!

Amazing!

He's going for every gap!

If he keeps pushing like this, he doesn't want to land cross.

No one is safe from being lapped by Senna!

And the next one in line is his own teammate!

Layton.

Slow down, please.

Slow down.

Just slow down.

There's no need for this.

Slow down.

Radio check.

Good.

It's him.

Layton, can you hear me?

Slow down.

Slow down.

Layton, can you hear me?

Layton, can you hear me?

What happened?

You didn't go back to the pits.

I couldn't go back.

What is it?

Yesterday in qualifying...

I had complete control of the car.

I could feel everything.

All at once.

Very intense.

And today, during the race, I felt the same thing.

But even more intense.

I can't explain it.

I suddenly felt like I was in another dimension.

You know?

And then the track became like a tunnel.

And all I had to do was keep going forward and going forward.

Pushing faster and pushing faster.

I was outside my own mind.

Beko, you don't have to be afraid of what you felt.

But I wasn't afraid.

It was the opposite.

It was good.

It was strong.

But then Rome called me on the radio.

And I laughed at that moment.

Everything disappeared and I crashed.

And if I want to be the champion, I can't mess up.

Can't mess up?

That's Milton talking, Beko.

You're allowed to mess up.

Even you can mess up.

And is it my sister talking?

Or Dr. Viviane, the psychologist?

The Maniac of Monaco.

I read it.

Press can be very creative.

Yeah.

Sometimes the press can be just like the fans, you know?

You win, they cheer.

You lose, they boo.

Hey, now you're different.

I try to.

It's for your daughter.

My bag is full of gifts from my family, too.

Nowadays I barely see my Claire.

Ever since the divorce, she's been staying more at her dad's.

Sometimes I have to...

make up.

You were impressive at Monaco.

You're about to lap Prost.

Until I crashed.

A lack of consistency?

It's not a matter of consistency.

You dominated Formula Ford.

F2000.

You broke the record for Formula 3 victories.

You worked miracles at Toleman, but it was

like your years at Lotus fell short, right?

You got 16 poles, but only won six races in three years.

Prost won 12 races, with three poles and won two titles.

Consistency?

Yeah.

When the car is not good enough, the driver has to push the limits.

Has to use all of his skills.

And Prost has been at McLaren all these years.

It's easier to be consistent.

But now you're also at McLaren.

Sure, you didn't win in Monaco because you're unlucky.

Here, in Mexico, your car let you down.

The same thing happened in the first race of the year in Brazil.

Ayrton, you're the only driver who can go

toe-to-toe with Prost under the same conditions.

I don't think there's anything stopping you from becoming champion.

Or is there?

Everyone!

I want to talk to you a bit.

It's something I should have said before, in Mexico.

But I think now is the right time.

In Monaco, I lost points that didn't just belong to me, but to the whole team.

And...

I'm sorry.

I made a big mistake.

I know that.

But we are going to recover those points.

I promise.

All right.

Plenty to do this morning.

Come on.

All right, enough of that.

Get back to work.

Come on.

You know...

You race to win.

And it's no skin off my nose when you win, McLaren wins.

Not mine.

I appreciate what you just said.

Show us your meaning.

Did you, uh...

tell him maybe not to try and lap his teammate again?

As long as he brings home the points, he can lap whoever he likes.

And so can you, Alain.

That's the name of the game.

Let's get to work.

Senna is a man on a mission here.

He's a Canadian bronze medalist.

He's a big one.

He's hardly willing to make it easy.

He's a absolutely mega-man.

Senna pushes on the inside.

And the Brazilian takes the lead.

Senna overtakes on the hairpin.

A genius move.

The second victory to Senna this season.

Alain Roscoe, second.

And that's a 1-2 for McLaren here in Canada.

The battle between the two McLaren drivers is getting proper.

The French GP is front for three.

And the Nats are having an exceptional race.

Cross uses the back markers and overtakes Senna.

That is why they call it the Pro Saison.

When it's France, the French are winning.

It's draining at Silverstone.

And Arsene Senna continues to show off his skills on the webpavement.

Once again, Senna is having an amazing race.

Boring here at Silverstone.

Which is clearly not a problem for Ed or Senna.

...who's already inched closer to the back marker, Alain Prost.

Look at that!

Senna continues to go all out to lap his teammate!

And he has lapped his teammate!

I wonder what's going on through Alain Prost's head right now!

I wonder what's going on in Ron Dennis' head right now.

Pace by pace, the two men

with such a tough competitor like Senna...can't take the lead!

But he's gone deep!

Look at Senna!

Look at Senna!

If Prost doesn't bring his A-game to the table, we won't be able to beat Senna.

The chap is driving her!

Aïe!

So Senna wins another one himself, Joe!

Thank you.

One more.

One more win and you'll be world champion.

You previously said that Senna had a promising driving career.

And was I wrong?

There's five races left.

He only needs to win one to get a title.

How do you respond to this?

Respond?

Well, I've had several problems with the car this year, which is...

...I mean, it's strange.

And Ayrton did a great job.

You know, he wins seven of eleven races so far and...

...well, I'm not stupid, you know.

He's very far behind.

So, the way I see it, Ayrton doesn't win this year.

Alain!

He just

needs to win the next two races at Suzuka.

The Brazilian constitution starts with the words...

...all power comes from the people, and with the people, power shall...

Hello?

Hi, mom.

Oh, hi, son.

How are you?

I'm fine.

And you guys?

We're good.

Are you still in Spain?

Yeah.

Did you watch the race?

Of course.

We always do.

It wasn't my best, right?

Ah, Beko.

Sometimes things just don't work out.

I miss you guys.

I love you.

We miss you too, sweetie.

So much.

Is Milton there?

Is he sleeping already?

By the way, it's very late there, isn't it?

Yeah.

Want me to wake your father up?

No, don't worry, mom.

He told you that we won't be able to fly to Suzuka, right?

Yeah.

He did.

Beko, do you need anything?

Don't worry, mom.

I'm all right, okay?

I'm fine.

Son, I know for sure that you will be champion.

But I could talk to your dad, get a flight to... No, no need, mom.

I mean it.

Everything's fine here.

You don't need to carry so much weight on your shoulders, Beko.

You're too hard on yourself.

I know.

It's just that I only need to win one more race to become champion.

Just one more race, but... I don't know.

I just can't.

I remember that little boy who was so eager to win.

To drive his kart.

That tiny little guy who eventually got too big for those karts.

You got angry.

You frowned whenever you didn't win, sweetie.

But you went back to racing whenever you could, because racing's your passion, Beko.

Winning's just a consequence.

I love you, mom.

I love you too, baby boy.

Still teaching.

Still learning.

I remember when you turned up.

A little brat who barely spoke any English,

but gave it all out when it came to karting.

Left-handed.

Annoying.

Handling the carburettor without losing control of the kart.

It was 1978.

How old were you?

Eighteen.

Fourteen years already racing go-karts.

And look where that little brat is now.

The Formula One World Champion.

I'm not a champion yet.

Nah.

I know you.

You just need a gap, and you'll take it.

I've seen you make them out of thin air.

You were a pain in the arse.

You had to win every race.

You fought for every position, every corner.

Bloody hell, you were fast.

Do you know how we win against someone who's faster than us?

By getting in their head.

Do you remember our first race?

First time it was me against you.

Le Mans?

Your solo.

Go and say you remember.

You made me make the mistake.

You can't go full brake to full throttle.

Take it easy.

This year in Monaco, before I crashed, something strange but incredible happened.

I raced some laps like I was in a tunnel.

A tunnel in my mind.

I was driving by instinct.

It was just me and the car.

A few races.

Like when I was racing karts.

Formula One is a business.

Except for a couple of hours on a Sunday.

This is what really matters.

You know when they asked me who was my greatest

rival on the track, I always answered the same.

You.

No doubt about that.

You need to try your brake in the corner.

Congratulations on the pole Ayrton.

Thank you.

You know, one year ago, Ron came to me right here on this spot.

Alain, what do you think about Ayrton?

I said you were fast.

But too ambitious.

I didn't think he'd be a good second driver.

In Monaco, you proved me right.

Good luck today.

Really.

I think it could be your last chance to win the championship this year.

Well, I was a little bit ahead of my time.

You know, there is Adelaide, but...

look at the records.

In Australia, usually I get lucky.

Oh, that's right.

In Spain, he has to beat the Frenchman Alain Prost.

The championship which seemed to be in the bag after a spectator is now heading for a

very complicated finish.

Senna has one more shot at becoming champion this afternoon in Japan,

which is early...

Clarence, which has won 13 out of 14 races this year take up the first row.

Don't you want to sleep some more, son?

It's late.

No, dad.

The formation lap is now over.

The starting grid is almost set and the drivers are ready to go.

In just a few moments, the 15th round of the championship...

Guess which little boy is refusing to sleep?

Look at that.

It's late, Bruno.

Guess who it is.

Waiting for the green light.

The cars are in position.

Here come the red lights.

The ninth...

The green light.

Frost shot up ahead.

Let's see what Ayrton does.

Look at that.

Frost takes the lead as Ayrton's car stalls.

A rough start for Senna.

Ayrton, Senna is being left behind.

Come on.

Start the bloody engine.

...several positions and above all, he pretends to become the world champion.

He's on the move.

Ayrton starts.

Ayrton's on the gas.

Senna is still in this race.

Yeah, but it'll be hard to win the race now.

He's gonna need a miracle.

Ayrton's championship looked like a formality a while ago...

but increasingly it looks like becoming a distant dream.

Frost has the lead.

But look at that.

Senna has already got up one position.

He's right behind Gujanin.

It has to be from a miracle he's prepared

to have a chance of becoming world champion.

Ayrton Senna has a mountain to climb.

...the hardest challenge Senna has made so far this season.

This would be an impossible recovery.

Brace for a miracle.

Ayrton Senna's comeback.

I've just been told that Ayrton overtook

both Gujanin and De Cesaris at the same time.

He's flying.

Let's see if we're able to get that footage.

Come on.

Show me my son.

Countdown.

Look at Senna.

After a single lap, he's already in eighth place.

And he begins to pressure Ricardo Patrese.

He finished the first lap in eighth.

And Ayrton Senna is trying to overtake again.

Senna overtakes Patrese.

The Brazilian driver is flying around this track.

Dancing.

Keep pushing.

And look at Capelli.

He's making cross-life harder in the front.

The forecast is for rain in Suzuka.

If it rains, everything could change.

Senna already has Nannini in his sights.

This doesn't change.

Senna has a chance of winning today.

Senna overtakes Nannini.

He did it.

We're up another position.

Senna has overtaken Boots and is now about to pound Tadal Floreto.

And he gains another position.

Amazing.

Bloody hell, he's still fast.

Senna is in full throttle right now.

And if the forecast is correct, we're going to have rain soon.

And no one masters the wet better than Senna.

Anything can happen here today in Suzuka.

It's starting to rain, Damo.

That could be a game-changer.

It's starting to drizzle, James.

Imagine what's going through the freshman's head right now.

Knowing that Ayrton's giving it his all to make up for the shortfall.

The rain doesn't slow the Brazilian now in the second.

Senna wants Prost, and he'll run over anyone.

Senna keeps climbing upward.

He must be thinking about how far he is from Prost, who is in first place.

The Brazilian is getting one second off of other drivers.

There's never been a comeback like this in the history of Formula 1, Galvão.

If he overtakes Capelli, he'll already be in second place.

And he'll be two seconds behind Prost.

One of a kind.

And it shows once again here in Japan.

He keeps finding space where there is none.

Ayrton Senna, pedal to the metal.

He's going to try to overtake.

Ayrton, don't overtake.

His pedal dreams may come true.

Now it's one on one, my friend.

Now it's McLaren versus McLaren.

The rain is subsiding here in Suzuka.

Ayrton, you're P2.

You're already P2.

That's if you want.

1.9 seconds.

Senna is P2.

Senna is P2.

Fast.

Fast.

The title is on the line.

The cheering is getting louder and louder in the stands.

Senna is already putting pressure on Prost.

He's looking for a gap to overtake the leader of the race.

He wants to take first place.

It's time.

It's Senna versus Prost.

The Brazilian is looking for the right moment to overtake him.

He moves towards the outside.

He's attempting to take the lead.

Senna goes deep on the chicane.

He loses his braking point trying to overtake and almost drifts away.

He stays on the chicane.

Senna is going to have to try that all over again.

The backmarkers aren't making the Frenchman's life any easier.

Senna is drawing close once again.

After being stalled at the start and an absolutely amazing recovery, he's caught

up to his teammate and rival for the title at Lamprost.

But catching up is one thing.

Overtaking is another.

And the Brazilian needs to overtake him.

In order to become the world champion.

Prost messes up getting in the straight.

This may be Senna's gap.

He's about to attack.

He's made himself.

The two McLarens push for the finish line.

But Alaphos has no time.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's absolutely amazing what he's doing here in Suzuka.

It really is a drive for the ages.

Senna is the first.

He overtakes Prost.

It's incredible.

Senna has made the impossible possible.

And

now 11 seconds ahead of his teammate Prost, who's in second place.

Aisto's coming in for the win.

He's making his dream come true.

A dream Aisto has had from the beginning.

Since his karting days.

A young boy's dream.

The entire nation is waiting to see another Brazilian become world champion.

In his debut year in McLaren, he overcame his teammate.

A two-time world champion.

Come get your first title, Senna.

Show it to the world.

Aisto.

Aisto.

The new Brazil.

The new Ligue 1.

1988.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Coleman, Lotus, McLaren.

It took you four years to get here.

Was it worth it?

It wasn't just four years.

It was a lifetime.

My whole life dedicated to motorsport.

And I really was able to fill that space.

That empty space in me.

That desire, the need for victory.

It was a moment.

It was amazing.

After achieving the main goal you've had your entire life, what's next for you now?

I guess I'm only 28 years old.

I have my whole life ahead of me.

I still have so much to learn in life.

And to offer.

To everyone who is a part of my life.

There's still lots of stuff to give to the world and to share with everyone else.

And on your journey here, do you feel like there's still something you owe to someone?

Give.

If I owe anyone, it's probably myself.

I have.

I have always been really hard on myself.

I sacrificed a lot of myself.

So I want to make up, compensate for all of that from now on.

That's your thing, isn't it?

Raising the flag, the colors on your helmet.

You have a very strong relationship with Brazil, don't you?

Yes, I have.

Brazil is my home.

My people.

There's lots of bad things in Brazil.

Lots of poverty, so much to improve there, but...

It's my homeland.

What about the 89 season?

Think.

What about the 89 season?

Think.

I'm here to hit the old and then the new.

People are here to hear.

Yes, I don't know what they might feel like.

You've got to do that one thing.

The

flag was torn off.

You didn't have a flag out on theock at the driver's guide?

It's different, bro.

You're not the man to eat lunch, you just got efecto that's there.

Then you say, when we see, well, and we don't

think it's a waste of money to make one.

Now,

my point now works if there's money to eat lunch to get home.

So I wait for him, then I still need to learn how to change and do everything else.

It's normal.

There's not so many lifestyle choices in Brazil.
