01x02 - Belonging

[bunniefuu]

[race car engine droning]

[commentator] It's the 18th race
of the season.

Ayrton da Silva chases Martin Brundle

to hold onto his overall lead
in the Formula 3 championship.

If Brundle manages to win today,

da Silva will find himself
under huge pressure

for the final two races of the season.

- [rock music playing]
- [cheering]

He's pushing too hard again.

For Christ's sake.

{an8}[fans chanting] Brundle! Brundle! Brundle!

Brundle! Brundle! Brundle! Brundle!

Brundle! Brundle!

[commentator] Da Silva's asking everything
of his car today,

but Martin Brundle in his Jordan
is proving to be a real challenge.

Oh, would you look at that?

Da Silva appears to be struggling.

[angry shouting]

[spectator] f*ck off back to Brazil!

[shouting continues]

[suspenseful music playing]

[joyous string music playing]

[race car engines droning]

{an8}[cheering]

{an8}[ticking]

[music fades]

[fans chanting] Brundle! Brundle! Brundle!

You pushed too hard again, Ayrton.

You know why I pushed too hard.

We tried the wings, the transmission,
every setup possible,

and still Brundle's car was better.

- [fan] Brundle!
- Yeah, I know.

You know how hard we work here
to give you a race-winning car,

but remember, the champion is the driver
with the most points, not the most wins.

- I always drive to win.
- The race or the championship?

[man] Da Silva, you won
the first nine races in the championship,

but now it seems
that Brundle is the driver to beat.

Of course, because Brundle's car
was better than ours.

[man] But you've failed to finish
six out of the last nine races, mate.

Is it really about the car,
or is your Latin blood getting in the way?

Ayrton still has more points on the board
than anyone else, mate.

Put that in your broadcast.

I've got some new information.
It's the engine.

Their new car's engine's
not this year's model. It's next year's.

- What?
- A lot more powerful.

- That's the difference.
- Are you serious, d*ck?

This is f*cking cheating!
We need to do something.

Yeah, I know,
but we have to deal with it carefully

and figure out a strategy.

You're still in the lead.
You're the best driver.

We need to protest with the Federation.
Come on!

We'd just be wasting our time.
Brundle is "racing for Britain."

[fan] Brundle!

Ridiculous.

The Formula 3 championship
seemed to be firmly in da Silva's hands,

{an8}but with two races to go
and mounting a fantastic comeback,

the young British sensation Martin Brundle

could still have a shot at becoming
this year's champion.

[fan] Brundle!

Can the championship leader
share some words with AutoSport?

- AutoSport? Congrats, Laura.
- Thanks.

Sorry, I'm not in the mood
for an interview right now.

Hey, not every reporter's a damn prick
like that guy.

I'm here to listen.

What about that cover with Mansilla?
You're not different from them.

Well, I remember it was your first time
on the front page

and that I was betting on your title.

I think I nailed it.

There are only two races left,
and Brundle seems to have the best car.

In case you don't win,

do you think you might lose
your chance at Formula 1?

I still have two more races.

BIANCA'S BIRTHDAY

BECO AND LILIAN'S WEDDING

[chatter and laughter on tape]

[applause]

[cheering]

- [Lillian] I'm throwing the bouquet!
- [Senna] Go too, Mom!

- [Senna's mom] Me? Why?
- [Lillian] One. Two...

- [guest] To renew your vows.
- [Lillian] Three, and...

[cheering]

- Now you have to get married.
- We will. We will. Of course we will.

[Senna] Yeah, you gotta do it.

[cheering and laughter]

[guest] Where will the honeymoon be?
We wanna know.

- The Caribbean, Hawaii, Greece?
- We're going to England.

A honeymoon at the racetracks.

- Yeah.
- He's gonna be a champion.

[melancholy music continues]

[music fades]

Zaza.

- What's all this?
- You read Beco's letter, didn't you?

- Beco's not a kid anymore.
- Ah, Milton, for the love of God.

I didn't want him to go back to England
either.

But he did because it's his life,
and he needs us now.

And how can we help him?

The Brit kid's engine is much stronger.

The engine's the problem.

I don't care if Beco wins, if Beco loses,
or about the Brit kid's engine.

I just don't want him
to be alone out there.

Zaza,
I can't afford to leave the factory now.

Who's asking you to come with me, Milton?

Good morning, d*ck.

{an8}Sorry to bother you so early,
but I couldn't wait.

I was already up.

So... I did what you asked me to do
in Silverstone.

I didn't push it too hard.

I came in second, won the points.

But we only have one more race to go.

So if we want the championship,
it's win or win.

And if we don't have the engine
as good as Brundle's,

then everything we did was for nothing.

- Ayrton...
- Listen, d*ck.

I only have one chance in this sport.

Only one chance to win.

And that's why I came back to England.
That's why I'm here, on your team.

The factory that made our engine
is in Italy, Ayrton.

What do you wanna do?
Put the bloody thing in the boot,

drive for more than 30 hours to rework it,

and then not even have enough time
to test it?

I want to be the champion.

And I know you want it too.

We won all of these together.

But we need one more.

This is our last chance.

Amico mio, you're telling me
that you came here

all the way from England
in a bit under 15 hours?

Impossible.

- I'm here. Don't you see?
- [chuckles]

Let's see what's inside, shall we?

[mechanic sighs]

Mamma mia!

So you... you think you can do it?

Salvo!

Let's take this engine inside.

[hopeful music playing]

You know, the pulley we used
for Brundle's engine was very specific.

We don't have the same one.

With these modifications, though,

your engine is going to be
at least as powerful as his.

[in Italian] Good enough?

[in English] If I can compete under
the same conditions as Brundle, I win.

Ha!

Yeah. d*ck Bennetts did mention something
about you being determined.

Amico brasiliano.

Don't get too c*ck, my friend, all right?

That's what happens when you do.

{an8}ITALY 1982 WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS

- [both chuckling]
- [in Italian] Luck!

Ah, luck!

[Senna, in English]
Our team was the strongest one.

[in Italian] But we're the ones
who became world champions!

- All right.
- [man, in English] It's ready.

- Let's eat. Come on.
- Ah, well, well.

Let's grab a bite. Come on.

- You understand Italian well.
- [Senna] Mm.

That's because I worked at DAP
when I was karting there.

- Oh. So, no Italian blood then?
- No, yes, I do.

My great-grandfather was Italian. Luigi.

When he moved to Brazil,
he changed his name to Luiz.

- Luiz Senna.
- Huh, Senna.

[in Italian] Neapolitan?

- Sicilian.
- [in English] Ha, like me!

Now I like you even better, kid.

- On your father's side?
- [Senna] No, my mom.

Mamma, huh?

[Senna] Tommaso, let's get back to work?
Time's running out.

- Okay?
- Okay.

[in Italian] Back to work.
[in English] Let's get back to work.

[in Italian] My friend Senna.

[mysterious music playing]

I told him it was a crazy idea.

Come on, guys! We only have four hours!

Thought I wouldn't arrive in time?

[d*ck] On the contrary.
I made a bet that you would.

I lost money 'cause you were
three minutes late, you b*stard.

The engine may be stronger now,
but I told you it's not broken in,

and you'll struggle on the qualifying.

You'll have to race at least three laps
before...

- I will make the pole.
- I know you will, but what about the race?

It's too cold outside.

If Brundle manages to overtake you
in the first few laps,

he could gain distance
before our engine even warms up.

And you could end up losing another race
and the championship.

- You're blocking the radiator air exhaust?
- Yes, but only until the engine warms up.

What about once it's hot?

[journalist] But this race,
it is all or nothing.

The pressure may be too much
for the Brazilian.

If he loses sight of his goal,
he could make another mistake,

just as he's done in six
out of the last 11 races this season,

repeatedly pushing his car
beyond the limit.

Peter Warr, Lotus F1.

I know. Nice to meet you.

And I know you, da Silva.
I've been following your progress.

I witnessed a driver
who could win four championships

in the last two years,

nine races in a row this year,

in one of the toughest environments
in motorsport.

Easy. Fast.

Unlike any other.

I was impressed.

But then I saw a different driver,

one that could lose to his nearest rival
six races on the trot

without scoring a single point.

And that's not to mention
how he treats his car.

A lot of people think it's too risky

to take a chance on a driver
with no F1 experience.

Better to let him hone his skills
as a test driver for a year or two

before letting him loose
in a proper F1 race.

What do you reckon?

If you see me driving one of your cars,

you'll want me to be more
than just a test driver.

So... you think you belong in F1?

I worked all my life for this.

Then today, you have your chance.

Win this race, and next year,

I reckon you'll race with us at Lotus.

First I'll have to read the contract.

Oh, and, um...

good luck.

[commentator] And here we are
at the final race of the season,

the title decider.

[revving]

[commentator] Who will become champion?

Martin Brundle is only one point
ahead of da Silva,

but as we know, anything can happen.

The title will be won or lost here.

Starting from pole position today
is West Surrey's Ayrton da Silva.

[booing]

[commentator] And right behind him
in second position

is Jordan's Martin Brundle.

[cheering]

- Let's get rid of the tape, Ayrton.
- No, d*ck. Come on!

Less than four seconds
on the straight to rip it off.

It's not enough time. It's too risky.

- You'll overheat the engine.
- [Senna] d*ck, trust me. It will work.

[fan] Yeah!

[crowd chanting]
Brundle! Brundle! Brundle! Brundle!

Brundle! Brundle! Brundle!

Beco!

[Senna] Mom?

[emotional music playing]

[crowd] Brundle! Brundle!
Brundle! Brundle!

Brundle! Brundle! Brundle! Brundle!

[chanting continues]

[chanting distorts]

[haunting music playing]

{an8}We could keep Mansell. He's very popular.

{an8}Look, Mansell's good. He's a fighter,

but da Silva is that and more.

He can fight,
but he can also be a very clean driver.

- Trust me, Edward. Da Silva is our man.
- Maybe.

But first, let's just see
if he manages to finish the race.

- Hmm?
- [commentator] Who will come out on top?

Will it be Martin Brundle,
or will it be Ayrton da Silva?

[frenetic music playing]

[commentator] The winner today
will certainly be one step closer

to driving in Formula 1 next season.

Da Silva tries to increase the gap
between himself and Brundle,

but the British driver manages
to keep his car within striking distance.

What a dangerous driver.

Even more so
with such a crowd supporting him.

[cheering]

[commentator] And da Silva
is clearly struggling with his car.

Come on.

This might be Brundle's chance
to make a move for the lead.

The crowd is going wild.

He sees an opportunity on the outside
and goes for it!

But da Silva defends his lead
with every ounce of his skill.

What a maneuver!

If he doesn't take that sh*t off
right now, the engine'll blow up.

[Senna] Yes!

Yes! He did it!

The crazy b*stard did it!

Come on!

Two laps to go until the checkered flag.

Da Silva has been in complete control
of this race from start to finish.

[triumphant music playing]

[commentator] And here he comes now,
Ayrton da Silva,

to become a Formula 3 champion!

[Senna] Ah!

[cheering]

Yeah!

Yeah-ha-ha!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Ayrton, you almost gave me
a bloody heart attack!

- d*ck! It worked!
- It did.

Congratulations on the title.
What's next for the F3 champion?

Formula 1?

- Peter Warr is here.
- I know.

- [Zaza] Beco!
- Mom!

[both laughing]

Ah!

Well, Edward?

I see what you mean, Peter.
He's very good.

But he's just not British.

I missed your food so much.
Your beans are amazing.

My God! Hey, Mom, I met a mechanic

who was born in the same city
as your grandfather, Siculiana.

Grandpa Luiz. Luigi.

He crossed the ocean
all the way to Brazil, alone.

He didn't know a word of Portuguese
back then.

He had a lot of guts.

Ha! Sounds like someone I know.

Another Senna
venturing out into the world.

[chuckles]

Oh, darling, I missed you so much,
my baby.

- Me too, Mom.
- Hm.

By the way, what on earth do you do
with your gloves, huh?

- Do you drag them on the asphalt?
- No!

I mean, how many times
will I have to sew those?

- No, Mom, take it easy. Relax.
- Fine.

- Sit down for a bit. Sit.
- Okay.

I'm gonna talk like your dad
for a moment now.

Becão.

What's the plan moving forward?

Mom, it didn't work out with Lotus.

They didn't keep their word.

Peter Warr just told me
they're not signing with me.

I'm sure it's because I'm Brazilian.

They signed with Mansell, who is English.

So that's it, uh...

I received some other offers
from big teams, even from McLaren,

but they want me as a test driver.

That's not what I want.

And the only offer I have
to become a real driver,

it's from Toleman.

But their cars aren't the best.
They're in the end of the grid.

Even if you're the one driving?

Mm.

{an8}These bloody trucks belong
to the same company as us,

{an8}but there's a clear distinction.

They pay the bills,
and we create a spectacle.

{an8}This is our home, da Silva.

{an8}- You're very welcome at Toleman.
- Thank you.

Ah, I'm using my other name now, Senna.
Ayrton Senna.

And don't worry about the trucks.
What matters to me is the car.

Hi. Ayrton.

Everyone, Ayrton Senna.

Now these are the people
who make me believe this team will go far.

Brothers in arms.

Now then, let's show her to him.

- Beautiful, isn't she?
- Yes, she is.

[Alex] In here,
that's where the Hart beats.

Hart 415.

Turbo engine. Only the big teams have 'em.

Our rivals copied our rear-wing design,
so we must be on the right track.

And we were pretty close to getting
on the podium last year.

With you, we will get there.

[hopeful music playing]

Can we turn it on?

["Heroes" by David Bowie playing]

- I know this is the hard way.
- [music fades]

But I think this is what I have to do.

He said they have a turbo engine?

What is it? Porsche? Honda?

- BMW?
- Hart.

Hart? Jesus.

Isn't Hart that guy who...
who builds engines in his garage?

Yeah, but Hawkridge gave him a place
at the team's garage.

And it's not a weak engine.

It has 11,000 rpm,
aluminum block, 600 horsepower.

I don't know. I don't know, Beco.
Seems like a pretty risky bet.

Take your friend Chico, for instance.

He got passed around the small teams
for a while and never got anywhere.

- I'm better than him.
- Yeah, I know.

But you'll have to be able to prove that
on the track, Beco.

- And in a Toleman.
- I can do it, Dad.

In their first year, they were


but the next year, they scored.

I think I can grow with them.

[sentimental music playing]

When I finished college
and started working, Beco...

all I wanted was to earn money
and help my dad

in return for everything he did.

Once I got my first paycheck,
I showed it to him,

and you know what he said?

That the only thing he ever did for you
was to give you opportunities in life.

- I already told you that?
- About a hundred times.

And that you took every opportunity.

We all know that not everyone
gets good opportunities in life.

But once they come around,
we have to make our choices.

And I think you have made yours.

[swing music playing]

{an8}This is where we see
that F1 is not about the cars.

{an8}It's all about the money.

{an8}Have fun.

I thought you already knew
what kind of person Piquet is.

They say he didn't want you at Brabham.

Is this an interview?

Nelson knows
I wouldn't be a second driver.

Right. You're definitely not the type
to be anybody's sidekick.

I have a husband.
Don't get the wrong impression.

Your husband's British, right? Harrison?

He is. Very.

- And he's not here?
- We were talking about you.

Scoring twice in five races
with a Toleman in your first season

is an impressive feat.
Everyone can see that.

And that's why you signed with Hawkridge,
right?

Time to start reaping what you sowed?

{an8}From what I've heard,
Niki Lauda will probably retire

{an8}if he loses the title to Prost this year.

Maybe he'll choose a successor.

{an8}And Ron Dennis usually
listens to his drivers.

{an8}Ron Dennis knocked at my door
two years ago, offering me a spot.

Two years ago? And you said no?

I'm not a test driver.

[Peter] Enjoying yourself?

Who knows, maybe Peter
already regrets not signing you.

- [Peter] All right, listen...
- Some advice, from a friend.

Tread carefully.

You too.

- [man 1] Especially at night.
- [man 2] I was very well-behaved then.

- Good evening.
- Hmm!

- How do you do, kid?
- I don't want to interrupt you.

No, no, no. You're not.
It's always a pleasure to meet...

Ayrton Senna, Toleman.

Ach ja. Da Silva.

- Yes.
- F3 champion.

I'm sorry. You know, smaller teams
change drivers every second race.

It's so hard to keep up.

Maybe Toleman is a small team, yes,

but I have already scored some points
this year.

[man 2] Almost as many as Nigel at Lotus.

And you, Niki, you started your career
in F1 at March, a small team too.

{an8}He's not shy. Just looks it.

{an8}Oh, f*ck off, James. Let the boy speak.

{an8}Uh, Niki, uh... bought his seat.

So...

You started at the bottom,
but still you became who you are.

Well... Monaco saved me.



They had the worst cars, just shitty.

Running in third place saved my job
and my career.

Two years later, at Ferrari, I won.

May I have your attention please?

Good evening, everyone.

It's a pleasure to be surrounded
by royalty.

But, dare I say,
in this land of princes and princesses,

{an8}good sportsmanship reigns supreme.

[Balestre] Tonight...

tonight, we are all friends,

but tomorrow, I know you'll keep trying
to take the championship lead from Alain.

Isn't that so, Alain?

We'll see on Sunday.

[Balestre] We'll see on Sunday.
Enjoy the party. Thank you very much.

["I Feel Love" by Donna Summer playing]

Saw you talking to that Brit earlier, huh.

That Laura girl.
Watch your mouth around her.

- She's Brazilian, man.
- Well...

But she's a journalist, my friend.

There's no "off the record" with them,
especially that girl.

- Aren't you a journalist, Galvão?
- But I brought you champagne.

I know I'll be seeing you
in Formula 1 for years,

watching you rise,
so... I'd rather be your friend.

So tell me, who's that girl
right next to the prince?

- [Galvão] In yellow?
- [Senna] Yeah.

Maléna. She's super f*ck' hot.

Duchess, baroness, whatever,
but look, you're aiming too high.

She's too much for your Toleman.
Hit the brakes. Take a chill pill.

'Kay. Drink that before it turns into tea.

To claim your place here,
you have to act like a king.

I think it's going to rain a lot
during the race.

Isn't it dangerous to race like that?

It's not natural to race in the rain.

The rain puts the cars on the same level

but not the drivers.

[determined music playing]

{an8}[Milton] So, Becão,
you know the secret to racing in the rain?

[friend] Yes, yes, yes! Come on, Beco!

I can't see a thing when it's raining.

- Go, go, go! Let's go!
- [Senna] So I got to memorize the circuit.

[Milton] And how do you avoid
spinning out?

[friend] Go, go, go, go, go!

I got to keep the car straight
and avoid the racing line,

so I don't lose my grip.

[friend] Go, Beco, go!

I got to feel the car.

But I keep messing up.

You did 80 laps today, right?

You have to do 80, 100, 200 more...

Go!

Go on, Beco!

If you wanna be a champion,
you can't mess up.

Come on, Beco! Go!

Just don't skip class to do it.

How do I explain this to your mother

- Hmm?
- [chuckles]

[TV reporter] The sixth race
of the World Championship,

the Monaco Grand Prix.

It's the most dangerous circuit
in Formula 1.

- Has it started?
- Not yet, no.

[reporter] Overtaking
is nearly impossible on this circuit,

and in this rain,
the likelihood of accidents is high.

- Evidence of this was the serious...
- [friend] Hey, is it about to start?

Yeah. It's raining cats and dogs.

{an8}[reporter] Winning in Monte Carlo
is a real challenge.

{an8}As of today, no Brazilian driver
has won in the Principality of Monaco.

Two-time champion Nelson Piquet
wants to be the first to do it.

In ninth position,
he's the only Brazilian driver

with a competitive car today.

Toleman's Ayrton Senna starts way back
in 13th position.

- Everything okay?
- [Senna] The belt. Tight more, please.

More!

[reporter] Keke Rosberg,
the winner here in Monaco last year

and the champion in '82,

only managed the tenth-fastest time.

He starts near the two-time world champion
Niki Lauda

who's fighting for the championship lead
against Alain Prost, his McLaren teammate.

In pole position, the French driver
is the favorite for today's Monaco race.

[Alex] Go steady, all right?

[suspenseful music playing]

[French commentator] ...the start
of the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix,

this season's most legendary track.

[Galvão] And that's the start
of the Monaco GP!

The cars are really struggling
in this rain.

Prost holds the lead.
Mansell is right behind him.

Just like I said, there's a pileup
on the very first lap of the race.

Ayrton Senna's holding strong.

Prost has the lead, Nelson Piquet's 16th
at the end of the first lap,

and Ayrton Senna's in ninth
at the end of the first lap.

A great first lap,
and they're on their way.

Way to go, Ayrton!

Mansell overtakes Prost
and starts to widen the lead.

Ayrton Senna's up to eighth.
He's got past Jacques Laffite.

If Senna keeps this up,
he'll soon be contending...

Stop showing this French guy.
Show my son, Galvão!

Milton, watching this with you
makes me more nervous.

Yeah, but he's... Zaza.

[commentator] The only driver
clocking a time close to Senna's

is Niki Lauda,
who's also having an excellent race.

Ayrton is giving it his all.

Looks like Senna has overtaken Winkelhock!
Is that right, Reginaldo?

[Reginaldo] That's right, Galvão.
Senna's now in sixth,

and he already has Keke Rosberg
in his sights.

[Galvão] Look at that! Senna's Toleman
pressuring the 1982 champions, Williams.

Zaza. Zaza! They're showing Becão.

[Galvão]
Senna's right behind Keke Rosberg.

[French commentator] Senna closes in.

He's really proving his mettle
in this Monaco rain.

Unfortunately the rain
has made Hesnault spin out.

[Galvão] Conrado Fabi's going home,
too, man. Yeah.

Nigel Mansell crashed his Lotus
into the barriers.

{an8}[Galvão] Piquet is also out of the race!

They can't race like this!

[Galvão] And Mansell gets away with it.
His front is saved,

but he's managed to damage
his whole rear end in the process.

Just look at the state of the wing.

Prost's looking to retake the lead.

And the rate Mansell's coming in...
He's losing control.

And he spins again!

[British commentator] Another accident
for the English driver.

He wastes a chance at a big victory here.

Racing in the rain is a challenge
for even the greatest of drivers,

but newcomer Ayrton Senna seems
to be really comfortable on track.

[indistinct commentaries overlapping]

[Reginaldo] Look, Galvão,
racing in the rain is no small feat.

Now, doing it in Monaco?
Only the greatest.

Look at Ayrton. He's so comfortable.
It's like he's racing in his backyard.

[dramatic orchestral music playing]

[Galvão] Ayrton Senna has already
overtaken Keke Rosberg.

[British commentator]
Senna goes after a world champion.

An astonishing maneuver!

He pulled it off!

Holy sh*t! He overtook Rosberg.

My goodness. This is our best race ever.

[British commentator]
Senna now goes after Niki Lauda,

who's in second place
in this season's standings.

A two-time Formula 1 world champion.

[French commentator]
Ayrton Senna shortens the gap,

putting pressure on veteran Niki Lauda at...

[Galvão] The great Niki Lauda
can now see Ayrton in his rearview mirror!

Senna's not intimidated.

He's charging after
the two-time world champion Niki Lauda.

Look at what Ayrton Senna is doing!

The Brazilian is on the attack.

Ayrton's putting the pedal to the metal,
challenging the two-time champion.

Yeah!

[Galvão] He's overtaking! He's overtaking!

Ayrton Senna accelerates,
leaving the two-time champion behind.

Ayrton Senna overtakes Niki Lauda
and now is in second place!

Come on, Beco!

He's a beast when it comes to motorsport!

He did it on the most dangerous part
of the circuit!

The chap is far from shy.

[Reginaldo] We keep hearing
the word "incredible" around here,

in every language.

What this kid is doing here in Monaco
today is absolutely incredible.

[Galvão] And he wants more!

[cheering]

[Reginaldo] Galvão, it might be hard
to believe with the way he's racing,

but this is Senna's first time in Monaco.

{an8}[Galvão] It looks like it'll be
the first of many, Reginaldo.

Take it easy.

Now the gap between Senna and Prost
is down to 27 seconds.

[Galvão] There's only a difference
of 27 seconds now.

Senna keeps getting faster every lap!

The French driver is under
a lot of pressure right now.

{an8}- [French commentator] Senna puts pressure...
- Right, just like a king.

[Reginaldo] The difference dropped
to 21 seconds, Galvão.

{an8}[Galvão] The gap is now 15 seconds.

[Reginaldo] He's gaining
more than three seconds per lap, Galvão.

- The race is still going on!
- Senna drives like an old hand.

[Hunt] If anyone had the foresight
to bet on him,

they're going to be much better off.

{an8}And he's performing a true miracle
here in Monaco, Ayrton Senna.

{an8}This race is definitely going down
in history.

The Frenchman's nerves
must be eating him alive by now,

I'll tell you that much.

We've still got over half the race to go.

[French commentator] Prost is signaling
something to the marshals from his car.

They can't race in the rain like this.
It's too dangerous.

[French commentator] Senna heads
down the straight.

With each lap, he narrows the gap
with Prost, the race leader.

Excuse me.

[Galvão] The gap shortens
with every corner.

Senna keeps pressuring Prost.

[Reginaldo] Anyone who knows Ayrton knows
what he can do with a car in the rain.

[Galvão] He wants his first Formula 1 win.

Go get it, Ayrton!

Let's go, son. Do it!

[French commentator] ...seems about
to succumb to the modest Toleman.

[Galvão] Prost is gesturing. He's waving.
He wants the race to be stopped.

If they stop the race now,
the victory will go to the French driver

here in Monaco.

{an8}[James Hunt] Prost wants to stop the race.
Who can blame him?

{an8}Senna is on his heels.

{an8}[indistinct]

[Galvão] Less than five seconds.
Ayrton Senna is flying down the track.

He really wants this win.

[French commentator] Senna has shown up
in all his splendor

to the world of Formula 1
in his very first season.

[Italian commentator] The race director
is on the track.

The marshals are holding their flags.
It seems like they're stopping the race.

- [Galvão] Unbelievable.
- [Italian commentator] Incredible!

You gotta be kidding.

They're stopping the race
because of the rain.

But only now? It doesn't make any sense.

[overlapping commentary
in different languages]

[sentimental music playing]

[Galvão] Senna didn't slow down.
He crossed the finish line. Prost didn't.

[Reginaldo] We'll have to check the rules,

but this could have been
Ayrton Senna's first Formula 1 win.

[Senna cheers]

Ah! [laughs]

[Senna] Come on!

[Italian commentator]
The race was stopped,

but Ayrton didn't stop. He kept going.

Maybe he didn't see the red flag.

He crossed the finish line...

[French commentator] Alain Prost is
thus the winner of the Monaco Grand Prix.

[British commentator] Despite a brilliant...

[Alex] Unbelievable! [laughs]

- Thanks!
- P2!

- Bloody marvelous!
- What? P1!

- I overtook him!
- P2. That's the decision.

- But what happened?
- Don't worry about that now.

Do you not realize what you've just done?

[Hunt] It's a very upsetting result
for Senna.

However,
if he can't become champion this year,

he'll undoubtedly become a world champion.
He's got a very big future ahead of him.

[reporters shouting]

You've made history, mate.

[applause]

[joyous music playing]

[brass band playing "La Marseillaise"]

- [national anthem ends]
- [cheering and applause]

[indistinct]

[solemn music playing]

[journalist 1] So, second place in Monaco.

Surely this is the apex of your career,
da Silva.

It's Senna.

- Good race.
- [journalist 2] Bravo.

Thanks.

James Hunt said he didn't think
the race should be called off.

No comment?

No, no comment.

[journalists clamoring]

[Alex] All right, that's enough.
That's enough, gentlemen, thank you.

Come on.

I think we may have a new rain master.

We'll grow together, mate.

Next year, you'll see,
we'll be even stronger.

Now, you mark my words,

we'll be in the fight for the title.

Thank you for believing in me, Alex.

It's yours.

Guys, thank you. Good race.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Well done. Great drive.

Really great drive.
