    I’ll probaly get a load of stick for saying this, but I’ll say it anyway, I would quite like to see those last few seconds of Senna onboard at Imola ’94, I’m no conspiracy theorist but I find it hard to belive that it just ‘cut-out’ a few seconds before he crashed. Just morbid curiosity to be honest.

    Definately something from the ’60s or even ’50s… Would be great to see what it would be like…

    @newnhamlea1 I don’t know how the filming is done from the onboard shots, but perhaps there was a delay 17 years ago – a one second delay, so at the time he touched the barrier, the “live” shot was around a second behind – and when the car was destroyed the camera must’ve been as well.

    Again, I don’t know how these things work, but that’s what I make of there being no footage of the last second.

    The Senna on-board footage mysteriously disappeared, apparently. Well, the last few seconds of it, anyway. But yeah, I do see your point.

    It’s not out of wanting to be grim or gruesome. I think as an F1 fan, you want to know what happened and atleast have a good theory as to why it happened. F1 changed after that weekend, and it’d be interesting to have some of the different views from the archives.

    I’d also like some very early on-board material.

    What about the radio messages as well? I’ve always wondered what it’d be like to hear some of the calls during battle… Can you imagine what Mansell and Senna were saying during their battle at Monaco?

    There is some onboard footage of Senna around Monaco in a McLaren, manual gear shifts, the lot, I think it was his ’89 pole lap (?). That was truly Awesome, I can’t help but wonder why in all of the Monaco montages we see it is rarely included. I found myself willing the BBC to show it last weekend to no avail!

    Having thought about it for ages I’ve made my choice – I’d love to see if there’s any other angles showing the incident between Senna and Mansell at Canada in 1992:

    Maybe there isn’t, but I’d just have to check!

    On board with Hill at Hungary 1997, such a good drive yet a very sad ending

  • Profile picture of rfs rfs said 2 years ago:

    An onboard of Senna’s 1991 pole lap at Spa.

    The entire 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix, from Schumacher’s onboard camera.

    I’d want the on-board footage from Ricardo Rosset’s Tyrrell for the first few hundred meters of the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix.

    I want to be able to see what made him make the decision to not apply the brakes…

    footage is good, but I’d really go for the audio – the team radios of Schumacher, Montoya, Hamilton, Vettel, Webber, Kobayashi. Think this will really be an interesting thing – get to know the driver’s personality, understand the whole sport better. I actually think this will be a hit. A quite entertaining one as well :-)

    1996 Monaco Grand Prix please Keith!

    I would have to check out the audio from Austria 2002(hope im right) when Rubens had a long conversation with Ferrari on track.

  • Profile picture of Guilherme Guilherme said 2 years ago:

    Actually, to hell with that Schumacher on-board! The first thing I’d look for would be Hamilton’s on-board of Petrov’s crash in Malaysia. He was some 3 seconds behind, and maybe it doesn’t show anything, but I’d still try!
