Good engineering means you've

designed something to its limit.

Colin was the Maverick

of all time.

He was a genius.

He was the team owner

that you want to drive for.

By 1963,

Chapman had designed

the fastest machine

in formula one...

And he had the fastest man

behind the wheel of a lotus.

Sir Jackie Stewart: Jim Clark

was the best racing driver

I ever raced against.

The whole exercise was to be

as good as you can get--

on the limit.

And Jimmy

drove in such a way

that he was never

over the limit.

He was never erratic.

He was never spectacular.

He was spectacularly fast,

but in an unspectacular fashion.

It was smooth and clean

and beautifully handled.

He would win more formula one

championship races

than any driver before him,

finishing in second place

only once in his career.

Sir Jackie Stewart:

He was a country boy.

He was a farmer from

the borders of Scotland,

quiet and almost innocent.

Jim Clark:
I'd like to get

back here much more often.

It's, uh, great relaxation

to get back here,

and very much

the opposite from racing.

Clark became the face

of formula one,

with another champion,

Graham hill,

playing his affable foil.

Damon hill:
Everyone

was quite close.

Jim Clark

had been to our house,

and I knew Colin Chapman

sort of the same way as I knew my dad.

They sounded the same,

and they had the same mustache.

Sally swart:
Colin

was an extreme extrovert,

great fun to be with,

but very different

in character to Jimmy, really.

Jimmy was quieter.

But they were like brothers.

Together, they were

racing on the limit

of manmade speed

and ingenuity.

They won four world

championships between them,

and a record five

British grand prix.

But for all their success,

they failed to take

the checkered flag

at the most famous

motor race of all.

Fast cars and courageous souls

from all over the world

have been racing through

these streets since 1929.

Monaco is terrifying.

You cannot believe

it's possible

to hold a motor race

round Monaco.

In the first few laps, you stick your head up

to see where it went, 'cause

it's just guardrails

that you can't hardly see.

You're millimeters

away from barriers.

Jenson button:

You either do a lap that you're so proud of--

you're always wondering

if you're ever gonna do that again--

or you end up in the wall.

Lewis Hamilton:

The danger aspect to this

is one of the parts

that drives us racing drivers.

It's something we love.

One man

mastered these streets

like no other driver

in history.

Jo Ramirez:
Monaco was

a special place for senna.

He was the best in the world.

His concentration on

one lap was just uncanny.

Narrator:
Ayrton senna
