This might be the most emotional race I ever had the blessing of watching. This is perhaps Ayrton Senna's most legendary of drives. With a bad gearbox, Senna won by a mere 2.9 seconds from Patrese. Senna was almost unable to move on his own after the race. He had to be pulled from the car and driven to the podium in the medical car. His struggle to raise his trophy made me cry as a 10 year old.

Your grid is as follows: Senna, Patrese, Mansell, Berger, Alesi, Prost...

Admittedly, the ESPN feed is kind of subdued in its call of the end of the race, so why not pick it up w/ 2 laps to go from the Brazilian feed(timestamp isn't working, so jump to 1:43:00) -

That win is the most emotional ever for us brazilians!

(for those that didn't understand the "Prost filho da puta" in the headline: "Prost son of a bi***".)

BTW I watched this live! And like you I cryed my eyes out (but at 9yrs old!)

I'm watching it right now, and to see Senna changing gears in the middle of Laranjinha is amazing!!!
