End of 1983, Ayrton Senna was offered his first Formula One tests with Williams (first), then Brabham, McLaren and Toleman. He, very much impressed Frank Williams (who could not offer him a drive for the following year having two drivers contracted), McLaren’s Ron Dennis, Brabham’s Bernie Ecclestone, by lapping quicker than their regular drivers without having any experience, but the Brazilian chose to make his debut with Ted Toleman and Alex Hawkridge (Toleman) in 1984.
Enjoy this great short movie, where you see a young and determined Ayrton Senna, already very well aware of his value.
