Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,640
The opportunity to join McLaren
with the Honda together.
2
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,480
It's a great opportunity for me.
3
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,080
Professional,
and as a personal point of view,
4
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,000
I feel very happy
to work together with Alain.
5
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,520
Are we ready?
6
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,160
You're helping
your teammate in this.
7
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,120
Do you think he's learning from you?
8
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,840
I think he doesn't need
to learn anything,
9
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,400
especially on being quick
and qualifying.
10
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:48,240
I think it's been good
for both of us this year,
11
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,360
and the car has been good.
12
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,800
He has more points, I don't have.
13
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,760
But, still, a lot of race to come.
14
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,800
Ayrton Senna crosses the line
and you can see his exultation.
15
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,560
He's saying to the camera
'I am number one!'
16
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,960
Demonstrated very clearly,
you don't need 20 teams.
17
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,640
You just need one team
and two drivers
18
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,120
that both want to win.
19
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,400
The worst part of that year
was when we lost Enzo Ferrari.
20
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,120
Only six people were told,
21
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,320
and when I had dinner
in the evening
22
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,680
with Silvio Berlusconi, in his house,
23
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:38,200
I had to tell him,
which was very strange.
24
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,760
So I was honoured that I was one
of the people that was being told.
25
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,800
I was very close to him
in a very funny way.
26
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,880
We never had an argument
and there was a good reason for that.
27
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,760
'Cause I didn't speak Italian
and he didn't speak English.
28
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,560
So it was wonderful.
29
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:58,880
But we got on really, really...
30
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,160
And trusted each other,
which is more important.
31
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,840
At the end of the year,
Petra was born in London,
32
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:14,960
and I was living
in London at that time.
33
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,880
I remember going in to the hospital
to see the little one and her mum.
34
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,440
A father is so happy
when the little one's born.
35
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,520
Something brand new in your life.
36
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,680
Petra and Tamara I suppose,
say they're different.
37
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,040
Tamara is a little bit more active.
38
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,960
And a bit more upfront.
39
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,840
She'd give anything a go
that was put in front of her.
40
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,680
Petra is a bit more reserved.
41
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,760
Not so much upfront.
42
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,280
Senna got on really well
with Tamara,
43
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,960
and he used to call
from Brazil and speak to them.
44
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,560
Nigel Mansell
has made the big move
45
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,920
to join Ferrari,
here at Maranello.
46
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,400
To drive for the world's
most famous Grand Prix team.
47
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,520
And Prost leads the way!
48
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,280
Prost made a fabulous start
but Senna is attacking.
49
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,320
And Senna outbreaks Prost.
50
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,760
I was very angry
because we had an agreement
51
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:53,880
saying that the one
who takes the best start
52
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,680
won't be attacked
by the teammate
53
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,320
before the first corner.
54
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,280
I was very upset because I've always
been very honest with my teammates.
55
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,440
I've done everything I could
for the team and I felt very bad.
56
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,080
Prost made quite a lot
of complaints about Senna...
57
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:25,000
..and created a very bad
atmosphere at McLaren.
58
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,040
I have decided that I'm not going
to drive for McLaren next year.
59
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,680
It's very important to say today
60
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,960
that, uh, I had
six years, fantastic.
61
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,800
On a racing point of view
and the human point of view,
62
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,000
there will never be a problem
between McLaren and Alain Prost.
63
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,400
I propose more.
You're saying 10,000,
64
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,000
I agree with 10,000. No!
65
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,880
But if you're, if you're saying...
66
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,120
His proposal is the money
that has been paid in fine,
67
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,160
doesn't matter why,
doesn't matter why.
68
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:09,120
It's just to put the most money,
the biggest money possible together
69
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:14,000
that can be substantially
valuable for him.
70
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,360
Not only for six months,
but for a longer period.
71
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,920
You understand?
72
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,680
89 really highlighted
how important television was
73
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,320
to Formula 1.
74
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,800
Majority of the cars that year
carried on board cameras
75
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:39,280
so people really could be part
of the car as a driver.
76
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,480
They could see exactly
what was going on, all the time.
77
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,000
Television really came alive.
78
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,560
A beautiful start by Alain Prost
who goes into the lead.
79
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,000
From the public's point of view,
it was good racing.
80
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,160
It's how racing should be.
Two guys trying to win.
81
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,800
The stage is now set.
82
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,920
This is a sprint
for the chequered flag.
83
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,760
And as we speak,
Alain Prost is in race control
84
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,720
talking to Jean-Marie Balestre,
the president of FISA,
85
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,120
so the politics
have started already.
86
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,800
Jean-Marie disqualified Senna
for missing the chicane.
87
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,520
Why did he take
this attitude against Senna?
88
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,920
Happened to be a French driver
and French president.
89
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,040
Alain, big smile please.
90
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,440
It'd be better for Alain
to win the Championship.
91
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,880
Good for France,
92
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,760
good for Jean-Marie.
93
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,680
Good for the French Federation.
94
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,080
I don't know whether that came
into it at all.
95
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,240
I doubt it.
I don't think people think like that.
96
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,720
Jean-Marie was the President.
97
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,400
And he shouldn't be a judge.
He should be a President.
98
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:58,120
I did a good race and was very sad
if Ayrton was not disqualified
99
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,480
after what happened.
100
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:01,840
The problem with Ayrton,
he can't accept not to win,
101
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,280
and he can't accept that somebody
resist an overtaking manoeuvre.
102
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,560
I never caused the accident.
103
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,760
It was never my responsibility
104
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,040
and that you should see in a video,
not by my own words.
105
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,720
We all, not only me,
but we all as you people, press,
106
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,120
everybody that contributes direct
or indirect to motor-racing
107
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,800
have a responsibility, to worldwide,
108
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,240
all the fans
and everyone that follows.
109
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,800
Millions of people that follow
racing on television
110
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,480
because they have passion for it,
they follow it.
111
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:37,840
It's a show for them.
112
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:50,800
A really monstrous decision
to call Senna
113
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,360
a dangerous driver and the penalty
is just ridiculous.
114
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,320
I do not see the reasoning.
115
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,680
The reasoning
behind those two actions,
116
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,720
and it obviously casts some
sort of lack of confidence.
117
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,520
Creates lack of confidence
in one's mind
118
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,320
about the way
the governing body runs itself.
119
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,960
Do you really, really need me
to answer that question?
120
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,560
I refuse to walk away
from the fight.
121
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,200
It's my nature
to go right to the end
122
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,040
and that's what I'm going to do.
123
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,600
Jean Marie demanded
to Senna for an apology.
124
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:38,120
Senna wouldn't apologise.
125
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:43,440
And Jean-Marie said,
"Well I need, I want an apology."
126
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,240
So Max wrote the letter for Senna
127
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,720
and gave it to Jean-Marie,
128
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,080
and Jean Marie
did what he would normally do,
129
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,080
changed the letter completely.
130
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,480
'Cause he wanted
to give the letter to the press,
131
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:01,320
showing that Senna
had apologised to him.
132
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,800
And in the end, Ron paid the fine
133
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,840
because we couldn't lose
a superstar like Senna.
134
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,960
I know it can be very nice
with, uh, with Nigel, no problem.
135
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,800
I hope it's strong,
I hope it's nice.
136
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,000
There's going to be
a lot of information
137
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,880
that Alain is going
to bring to the team,
138
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,120
and I personally look forward
to working with Alain.
139
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,160
Both on the race track
and on the golf course.
140
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:30,250
00:12:55.360 -- 00:12:57.720
Senna gets a brilliant start.
141
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,880
Alain Prost up in to second place.
142
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,680
Oh dear, oh dear.
143
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,400
And it's race leader Ayrton Senna,
144
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,640
he's definitely
lost a left nose wing.
145
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,720
And that means to say that
Alain Prost now is into the lead.
146
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,080
Victory for Alain Prost,
147
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,280
victory for Ferrari
at the Brazilian GP.
148
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,520
(CROWD CHEERING)
Senna, Senna, Senna, Senna!
149
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,480
John, of Benetton, had spoken to me
and said, "We're not winning.
150
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:48,880
"We're going to get rid
of the team."
151
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,440
I said, "It's obviously
a problem of management."
152
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,640
He said, "I've got a guy that's
now working for us in America.
153
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,600
"He's running one
of our shops there.
154
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:03,160
"What do you think about that?"
155
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,880
I said, "There's no reason,
if he's a good manager
156
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,960
"and you're confident in him,
he couldn't do the job."
157
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,400
So Luciano put him
in charge of the team.
158
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,160
I liked Flavio when I met him.
159
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,800
He would be the sort of guy
160
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,840
that would make
the right decisions.
161
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,440
I had a very good offer
from Benetton
162
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,200
and it looks like the team
will be very strong.
163
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,160
Nelson Piquet really is driving
like a racing driver again.
164
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,920
People warmed to Flavio.
165
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,680
A lot of very nice looking young
ladies did the same thing.
166
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,120
How's it been working
with Alain, Nigel?
167
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,720
Is it working out well together?
168
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,120
Perhaps some of the information
169
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,720
doesn't come flowing out,
170
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,920
so, from that point of view alone
it's probably disappointing.
171
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
He always wants to know
what I'm doing,
172
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,080
but, very reluctant
to tell me what he's doing.
173
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,040
Alain Prost goes over the line
to win the British GP.
174
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,360
For his fourth victory of the year.
175
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,360
Three race wins on the trot.
176
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,760
Yes. I think it's first time
it happened to me.
177
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,560
First time ever?
Yeah.
178
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,480
1990 ended dramatically.
179
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,560
The hot news from Suzuka
is that Ayrton Senna
180
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,720
is starting from the
right hand side of the grid.
181
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,120
The right hand side is pole position
and the track is dirty there.
182
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,320
Senna asked for the pole position
to be changed to the left.
183
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,320
His request was refused
and the result is that Alain Prost,
184
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,560
starting from second
on the grid,
185
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,320
on the left hand side,
186
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,040
is actually going
to have a start advantage.
187
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,880
That pole position in Japan
was a little bit silly
188
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,160
because you were the quickest,
you should be given
189
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,400
the most advantageous part
of the circuit.
190
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,120
Jean Marie decided that Senna
191
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,120
should start
where he was told to start.
192
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,000
Which I thought
was completely wrong.
193
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,880
And Senna sprints away
but Alain Prost takes the lead.
194
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,560
Well, that is amazing, but I fear,
absolutely predictable.
195
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,440
Ayrton Senna,
I've heard that you've recently ran
196
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,120
the world championship.
197
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,280
Have you got something
to say about this?
198
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,760
It's over.
199
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,520
I think for sure
I want to win the race today,
200
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,680
the same way I won in 88,
to win the championship.
201
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,040
Do you think that he
deliberately crashed into you?
202
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,640
Absolutely, 100%.
If there were only 1% chance,
203
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,600
I'd say, "OK, there is a doubt,"
204
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,600
but there is not even 1%.
205
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,400
A lot of people
thought it'd be a good idea
206
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,160
not to have Jean-Marie
as President.
207
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,480
They thought maybe a fresh face,
and with fresh ideas, might be good.
208
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,120
When the election
came the following year,
209
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,320
he expected not to be opposed.
210
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,400
He expected to go sailing
through without any problems.
211
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,000
It was strange to see Frank
going to Renault for engines
212
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,000
and even stranger for Renault
giving engines to him.
213
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,720
Your relationship with Renault,
really seems to have blossomed,
214
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,440
and a lot of people
really didn't think
215
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:03,760
it was going to work, did they?
216
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,800
If you're referring to the fact
that 10 years ago,
217
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,760
the British teams,
and the French and Italians
218
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,920
took opposite
sides of an argument,
219
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,960
I would just say
that it's only six months ago
220
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,400
the Berlin Wall came down,
221
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,440
I mean, everything
in life changes dramatically
222
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,240
in any period
of time or history.
223
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,080
Nigel almost won
the world championship in 1986,
224
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,120
1987, and we thought
his experience
225
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,040
and his strength, his strength
of character, would be vital
226
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:33,960
to us in our desire and our need
to win a world championship again.
227
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,480
They have persuaded me that they
do have a package together
228
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,120
which is certainly worthy
of another try.
229
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,440
Morning from New York.
230
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,080
Good evening New York,
calling Moscow.
231
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,520
The EBU,
which was based in Switzerland
232
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,120
used to be the distributors
233
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,120
for all the broadcasters.
234
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,680
They could decide what was broadcast
and what wasn't...
235
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,440
..and pay what they wanted.
236
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,320
They didn't want competition
237
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,040
in the television industry.
238
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:13,000
The fact is, we're not living
in the 30s and 40s, pre-television,
239
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,520
where it was all played
for the love of the game.
240
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,960
Now it's played
for the love of money.
241
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,640
I decided that we would do a deal
242
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,040
with each
of the broadcasters, individually.
243
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,640
The EBU said,
"If you do that,
244
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,960
"you're gonna lose
all the broadcasters.
245
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,480
You won't see any
live Formula 1 on television."
246
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,640
So we had a little bit
of a discussion about this.
247
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,080
In the end, the BBC were the first
people to say, "Let's do a deal."
248
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,800
And when that happened,
everybody else sort of followed.
249
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,840
Nowhere else can you get
so close to the cars.
250
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,160
Nowhere else is the noise so loud.
251
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,680
And nowhere else
are the colours so bright.
252
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,640
Watch it on BBC television.
20 seconds.
253
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,120
Stand by.
254
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,360
No one has ever won
the first four GPs of the season,
255
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:32,000
but Ayrton Senna has victory
in the 1991 Monaco GP.
256
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,040
When people managed
to find themselves in problems,
257
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:45,800
I did whatever I could
to help them.
258
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,640
And this is no different with Eddie.
259
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,640
Poor Eddie gave me a call and said,
260
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,080
"They're going to get
some bailiffs to come along
261
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,080
"and take our cars,
and pound everything they can."
262
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,040
So I said "I tell you
what I can do... "
263
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,440
Schumacher
was available this weekend.
264
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,560
I've seen him in Formula 3
and I had this attitude
265
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,320
to give youth a chance
266
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,360
and to see what the potential
of Schumacher is for the future.
267
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,640
The arrival of Schumacher
in Formula One
268
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,200
was the same as Senna.
269
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,600
Eddie was over the moon to have
found a superstar in the making.
270
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,520
I said to Flavio, "You need to get
this guy, before it's too late.
271
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,440
"Before somebody else gets him,
you need to get him,
272
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,680
"because he's going to be
the number one."
273
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:44,800
I said, "don't worry about Eddie,
274
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,400
"you can always do
a deal with Eddie."
275
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:49,800
You can look forward
to Monza now.
276
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,960
If I can drive in Monza,
then yeah, sure.
277
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,640
So I spoke to Michael
and said to him,
278
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,760
"You better come down here,
to the hotel we were staying in,
279
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,160
"I'm going to see you
get to drive in the Benetton."
280
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,440
So this went on all night.
And with conversations with Eddie
281
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,280
and Flavio and me.
282
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:14,800
And Schumacher
was in his bedroom asking me
283
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,640
how everything was going and I said,
"You just, you, go to sleep!
284
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,720
"Be ready to get up in the morning,
285
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:21,920
"you're going to be
a Benetton driver."
286
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,400
It's undoubtedly clear
that Jordan and Schumacher
287
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,400
had some sort of written agreement
288
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,880
for the rest of 91, 92, 93
and an option for 94.
289
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:40,600
The ethics and how we go about
honouring people's contracts.
290
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,840
I mean, we either have
to get drivers to sign contracts,
291
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,760
or we just leave it
free for all.
292
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,400
I'm easy either way
but I think we do have to have
293
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,200
some firm situations.
294
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,920
Eddie had got a few dollars
to help him along the way
295
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,640
so it was a happy weekend.
296
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:13,080
Michael Schumacher finishes
his first Grand Prix
297
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,960
in a superb,
point-scoring 5th position,
298
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,200
ahead of his teammate Nelson Piquet.
299
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,080
Wheel to wheel stuff, look at this.
They're almost touching.
300
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,680
Mansell gets in there.
301
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:58,250
00:24:01.200 -- 00:24:05.280
Jean-Marie's task was just to make
sure that he got enough votes
302
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:07,560
to be re-elected.
303
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,640
Jean-Marie didn't do much lobbying,
but Max did.
304
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,560
The night before the election,
305
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,800
I'd had dinner
with one or two people.
306
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,080
I called Jean-Marie, I said,
307
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,160
"Jean-Marie,
you're not going to win.
308
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,160
"Why don't you stand up
and say that, "I'm sorry,
309
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,640
"I've decided I'm not going
to stand now,
310
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,440
"and I'd like you to support
my friend Max Mosley."
311
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,880
"Urgh," he said. "You should...
Why you say this to me?
312
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,440
"First thing in the morning,
you upset me early in the morning.
313
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,880
"Why you saying that?"
314
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,800
I said, "Jean-Marie,
because I wouldn't want
315
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,520
"to see you not winning."
316
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,640
Mansell harrying Ayrton Senna.
317
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,400
And off! Mansell!
318
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,560
That's him. Mansell out.
319
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:28,080
At the very corner that claimed
Prost and Senna last year.
320
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,920
Into the chicane goes Ayrton Senna,
321
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,960
on his way to win
the world championship.
322
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:43,320
89 was a disgraceful championship.
323
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,920
I won the race here
and I was robbed from it
324
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,800
and I will never
forget that.
325
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,440
Then 1990 was the result
of the 89 championship.
326
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,920
We had a disgraceful race
again here
327
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,240
and it was a bad memory
in my career,
328
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,200
a bad memory for Formula 1 for sure.
329
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,120
And this year,
we show that,
330
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,760
without the politicians
being involved,
331
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,680
we can have a sportive and tight
and very competitive championship.
332
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:49,920
We are upset because
the behaviour of Alain Prost
333
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:56,480
was not at the level that Ferrari
would like for his top driver.
334
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,320
Ferrari decided to dispense
with Prost's services,
335
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,840
which was a bit
of a shock to Prost.
336
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,840
It's a typical,
really Ferrari ending.
337
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,080
When Luca came back to Ferrari,
338
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,080
it wasn't such a wonderful thing
to be handed.
339
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,880
And it was more
a liability than an asset.
340
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,680
So Luca got hold of Niki
and Niki become special advisor.
341
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,040
I spoke to Luca and explained to him
they needed to have a manager.
342
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,320
So, I thought Jean Todt
would be the ideal person for this.
343
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,760
Mansell crosses the line,
to take the chequered flag
344
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,320
before the delighted
Frank Williams.
345
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,640
We are not as fast as Williams.
346
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,320
We'll be 3rd or 4th
if the two Williams finish
347
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,400
and not much we can
do about it.
348
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,760
You are about to see Nigel Mansell
349
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,120
become the world
champion of 1992.
350
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,200
Still with five races to go.
351
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,880
And, I can't remember
when that last happened.
352
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,320
I always used
to say about Nigel,
353
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,960
"If you don't win
the world championship,
354
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,600
"you should get an Oscar
for acting."
355
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,920
Because he was the greatest.
356
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,960
Nigel, you are world champion,
what is left now?
357
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,880
Win a lot more races
and I hope defend it
358
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,120
with the same team next year.
359
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,800
It's no secret that
I've been trying very hard
360
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:30,480
to, to get some, some deal
with Williams,
361
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,520
but I don't think Nigel's
position today
362
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,960
or before was the problem
for me going there or not.
363
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,400
The problem is somebody else.
364
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,440
Yeah, it's a non-event, I don't
know why you're here. Excuse me.
365
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,440
Excuse me, out of the way, please.
366
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,000
it's impossible to accept somebody
to come to a team,
367
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,880
February in a year
with a signed contract,
368
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,440
veto myself and himself too,
369
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,080
and eventually they change his side
370
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,120
but stay with the veto
on myself.
371
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,920
And I think if Prost wants
to be called a "so" champion,
372
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,360
3x world champion,
373
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,920
come back in a sportive way
and maybe win another championship.
374
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,440
He should be sportive.
375
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,440
The way he's doing,
he's behavin, like a coward.
376
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,240
Will you all settle down,
otherwise I shall go.
377
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,600
It's up to you.
I have a statement here.
378
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,080
(LOUD FEEDBACK)
379
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,120
It's taken many hours...
380
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,200
It's taken many hours
to put together.
381
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:47,920
And I haven't, er, I haven't slept.
382
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,240
I've just been given a message,
383
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,240
which I'm not at liberty to tell you
384
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,760
but it's tried to stop me
doing what I'm doing now.
385
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,920
Due to circumstances
beyond my control
386
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,920
I have decided
to retire from Formula 1.
387
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,760
I have made this decision
with some regret.
388
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,160
Of course a team owner,
any team owner
389
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,360
is free to choose whomever
he likes to work for him.
390
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,480
I thought I had a deal,
when clearly I did not.
391
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,680
Ut's always push and shove
in Formula 1,
392
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,360
it's such a brilliantly
competitive sport.
393
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,840
I love it.
I'd be uneasy if it were quiet.
394
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,960
I'd think I was being knifed
in the back,
395
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,880
or about to be knifed
in the back.
396
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,160
Prost had gone to Williams,
397
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,800
Senna was left in McLaren,
but knew the car wasn't up
398
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,640
to beating Williams so he went
to America and tested an Indy car.
399
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,080
When Phillip Morris
heard of all this
400
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,800
and knew exactly
what was going on...
401
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,840
..the only way they could
convince Senna to stay
402
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,920
was to offer him $1million a race.
403
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:14,200
And this strangely,
had an effect on Senna.
404
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,600
We didn't have too many superstars,
405
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:24,200
so again, Philip Morris
did a lot for Formula 1.
406
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,240
Ayrton literally had no chance
407
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,160
against Prost in the Williams.
408
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,160
Well I've heard
directly from Max Mosley,
409
00:34:49,240 --> 00:34:50,760
which means it's confirmed
that Prost will be a given
410
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,280
a 10 second penalty
for a jump start.
411
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,520
Well, how about that?
412
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,240
I can't understand because I think
the car was moving a little bit
413
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,360
at the start but I didn't
do anything wrong, I think.
414
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,000
The car was moving
maybe 10 cm, 20 cm
415
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,120
because the clutch was not correct,
but I did a perfect start.
416
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,800
For sure when you do a perfect start
it's always close to the limit.
417
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:21,000
Ayrton Senna crosses the line
to win the 1993 Monaco GP
418
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,760
with Alain Prost following him home,
a lap adrift in 4th position.
419
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:31,000
I think the penalty was just to make
the race more interesting,
420
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,040
and I don't think
that is correct.
421
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,160
I want to stop
in the best, best way.
422
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:22,520
Being on the top on the track,
being happy outside.
423
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,720
I had a very, very good relation
with Frank Williams
424
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,960
and his whole team,
and despite all this year,
425
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,480
we had a fantastic relation
with, er, with Damon.
426
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,560
And everything is perfect.
427
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:44,000
So some could say, "if it's perfect,
why doesn't it continue?"
428
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,160
and some would say, "and that's the
best moment to stop."
429
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:51,250
00:37:05.320 -- 00:37:08.080
James Hunt, the former
world motor racing champion
430
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,040
has died suddenly.
431
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,680
He was 45 and suffered
a heart attack at home, in London.
432
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,480
James lost a lot of money, in fact,
433
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,960
a little while before we'd lost him,
he'd come to borrow £2,000.
434
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,440
And he was a bit embarrassed to ask.
435
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,280
And I was embarrassed
that he had to ask.
436
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,280
'Cause he was such a superstar.
437
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:45,040
We lost something which I thought,
and still believe,
438
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,840
is very important in F1.
439
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:52,280
That a driver should drive
a car completely unaided.
440
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,320
So he gets in the car.
441
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,360
From then on in,
it's his decisions
442
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,240
whether he wins or loses or has
a crash or whatever happens,
443
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,480
it's up to him.
444
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,960
The Williams suspension
system is brilliant.
445
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,040
It's really really clever
with the things it does.
446
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,680
But in the end, even Frank's
effort becomes self-defeating
447
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,720
because they will then win
by such a huge margin
448
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,480
that no one will want
to watch anymore.
449
00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:20,760
The decision has to be to stop.
450
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,600
We're all a little upset
that the rules are changed
451
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,280
so abruptly from time to time
because racing cars
452
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:45,240
are very, very complicated machines
and have to be managed correctly.
453
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,640
I'm starting a completely new
partnership with Williams.
454
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,120
This new set of rules will bring
the team closer together.
455
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,120
Williams is not going
to enjoy the same advantage.
456
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,960
I was determined that
we would have the best coverage
457
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,400
of any sport on television.
458
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,480
We controlled
459
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,520
exactly what was
going to be broadcast.
460
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,800
As it was early on in the race,
461
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,760
I was sort of doing what I normally
do during that time
462
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,400
and I'd sort of, I think,
picked up an apple to eat
463
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,400
and I was going
to see somebody.
464
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,640
And then I heard Ayrton
hadn't come round
465
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:09,280
so I went to the controller
to find out why.
466
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,160
All they knew
was it was an accident.
467
00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:18,120
So I called Sid Watkins
on our radios.
468
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,160
I said, "What happened?"
469
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:22,960
So Sid said, "Well, it's his head."
470
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,480
And I thought he said he was dead.
471
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,480
So walked down
out of the control tower
472
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,200
and saw Ayrton's brother.
473
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,480
And said to his brother,
"I'm terribly sorry that...
474
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,400
"Sorry he's...he's dead."
475
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,240
Chucked the apple away,
476
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:41,840
then spoke to one
or two other people.
477
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,960
They said about stopping the race
or not stopping the race.
478
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,480
And eventually it became quite clear
479
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,920
that it would be the worst thing
for the promoter in Italy
480
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,640
for the race to be stopped,
by law it would be bad
481
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:55,680
if we did that because
we'd be completely responsible,
482
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,560
even if we're not responsible.
483
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,080
And then found out
obviously he had died.
484
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:30,200
My wife wanted to go to the funeral
485
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,280
because she was quite close
to Ayrton.
486
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,600
I wasn't too popular.
487
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,200
His brother had of reported
to the rest of the family
488
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,040
he thought that I was a bit callous
and didn't give a damn.
489
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,120
I stayed in the hotel
and watched it on television.
490
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,880
Max said to me,
"Now Formula 1 is dead."
491
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,520
