Episode Synopsis

November 7th, 1993 — Adelaide. The final race of the season, and the final victory of Ayrton Senna’s unforgettable Formula 1 career. As he led from start to finish in his McLaren, the moment became more than a win — it was a farewell to an era, and the closing act of his long, complex rivalry with Alain Prost.In today’s episode, we relive that poignant afternoon in South Australia — the symbolism, the serenity, and the end of one generation as another prepared to rise. We also celebrate the birthday of Jonathan Palmer, the “racing medic” turned mastermind behind Britain’s modern motorsport scene, and look back at the 2010 Brazilian Grand Prix, where Red Bull sealed their first Constructors’ crown on the road to a new dynasty.From Senna’s final flourish to Red Bull’s first triumph, this is the story of how Formula 1 says goodbye — and begins again.Cover Image: By Byser - Senna's McLaren MP4-8, CC BY 2.0, LinkSend us a textMusic by #Mubert Music Rendering
