The Race F1 Podcast · F1 Rewind: When a young Ayrton Senna drove F1's elite crazy · 10 Sep 2026 podcast

It wasn't just a habit, it was it was very very deliberate. voice-verified

And that's a the level of detail that you know nobody else was was going into. voice-verified

Th yeah, that's right. voice-verified

And uh i in a way it was um a compliment to Warwick because he you he figured, well no, Warwick's too serious a a driver um to accept the number two role that anybody that's alongside me is gonna have to accept in this team because this team's not able to run two equal cars and it's I I I don't want to have the the energy taken voice-verified

taken away from me of a very quick driver in the other car because it it it's just gonna take away from me. voice-verified

So it's not that he saw Warwick as competition, I think more that he he saw this the resources don't stretch to to me and a a c another quick driver. voice-verified

It needs to be a proper number two. voice-verified

And voice-verified

He was in far too early, wasn't he was underprepared, he wasn't ready. voice-verified

And you know, if um if DeAngelis was getting the number two treatment, he was Dumfries was definitely getting the number three treatment, there was hardly any attention paid to him at all, really. voice-verified

Which is unfortunate timing for him. voice-verified

Um but yeah, they they so they they went in with uh the Lotus ninety eight T replacing ninety seven T and it differed a little voice-verified

Little bit in the chassis construction but aerodynamically it was the same. voice-verified

Um and but Renault had introduced the uh pneumatic valves, which um was a a fantastic innovation which would later release enormous uh increases in revs in generically in all if one engines. voice-verified

But um w it it meant that it's qualified. voice-verified

Flying advantage was um enhanced, but it it couldn't really be used to much uh use in the races because the fuel restriction had come down from 220 liters to one ninety-five, so it was even more hampered in the race than it had been. voice-verified

Um so if it had been fuel limited in eighty-five, it was even more so in eighty-six. voice-verified

So yeah, generically the car was less. voice-verified

and it was only in contention 'cause he was driving it. voice-verified

Uh earlier in the season it was only in contention 'cause he was driving it. voice-verified
