that wheel-to-wheel action

Luca di Montezemolo interviewed about Niki Lauda in 1975 [x]

TF1 commentary during the 1992 German Grand Prix [x]

Prost: Mansell's now fully in Senna's slipstream. Let's see how Senna responds. He'll place himself a little bit on the right, in the middle of the track, to force Mansell on the outside... But here, the Williams's top speed seems much higher than the McLaren's... Moncet, as Senna reappears in front: No!! Not at all!! Prost (chuckles): Yes, he did the same thing he did to me last year. Moncet (laughs): I was about to say! Van Vliet: At the same place too! Prost: But here he did it by the book, he doesn't seem to have moved from his line, he just forced Mansell on the outside. Van Vliet: Let's pay attention to Mansell because when he has a car in front of him, he tends to blow a fuse! Remember Montreal this year, the only time— Confused screams as Mansell goes off track. Prost: Oh dear... Moncet: Mansell goes straight!! It was bound to happen! Good guess, Pierre, it's starting! Senna really has a knack for annoying Mansell.

Bonus: As always, Prost smiling while recounting how Senna likes to torture him.

His mom in the back too jaja

easy answer: this pic you get when you look senna up online because he looks very beautiful on it and i associate it with the start of my classic f1 obsession

real answer: that one as well as:

oh man, great question because there are so many possibilities and i love what if scenarios.

obvious answer is 1994 if imola hadn't happened. beyond the self-evident truth that any timeline including senna living and getting to develop as a driver/have a life after f1 is a better timeline, the senna/schumacher championship fight of 1994 would have been so fantastic to see, especially because the years prior had already shown how confrontational those two could be. that year would have had tons of incidents and controversies: senna accusing benetton of cheating, schumacher finding various ways of calling senna senile, at least one photoshoot of them shaking hands with the most strained smiles you've ever seen, senna making plans behind schumacher's back to join benetton, the two of them colliding in the title decider, prost getting roped in at some point because he's made one too many snide remarks about senna getting the senna treatment from schumacher... beautiful.
