He was a millionaire who wouldn't give two shits about you. Relax a bit.

And if you listen to the experts (Peter Windsor, for example, but many others say it too)... Senna was one of the dirtiest drivers ever. I realize their job is to win, but some of his moves were over the line - really endangered other drivers. @@AnoNym-zi5ty

Stupid comment

Tire barrier.....at the least.

I got upset listening to that . Senna was such a complex brilliant man, that did upset me. I watched that accident at first I thought he was OK.

Putting the tragedy aside, Imola is still an amazing track.

Very difficult to drive and very dangerous. At least it looks like that on the sim

It’s great, every track has its problems but it’s definitely up there in the top 10

@@yanavaI’d say about 6/10 on the difficulty scale

I remember watching the crash live on TV. I was too young to understand what was truly happening, but I knew something significant must have just occurred

Whether you’re religious or not, whether you’re superstitious or not, that day was something profound and haunting, there was something beyond our understanding at play that day. Following the crashes of Barichello on Friday and the tragic death of Ratzenberger on Saturday, Ayrtons race engineer felt deeply that Ayrton senna didn’t want to race. The good friend of Ayrton, Sid Watkins, said to Ayrton “you’re the fastest man in formula one, you’ve got nothing to prove. We both like fishing, Why don’t you quit and I’ll quit, and we’ll just go fishing”. Ayrton responded “Sid, I can’t quit”. Leading upto the race, on the grid Ayrton didn’t follow his usual pre race mantra, he asked his mother to read from the bible, she read an excerpt that was something very similar to “Today, god will give you the greatest gift of all, god himself”. Following this, my hero, the man who lit the fire of passion for F1 in my heart, at just 3 years old; left the track and hit the only piece of exposed concrete wall, and passed away as a result of a piece of suspension hitting his helmet so exactly that the death was almost instant. Since then the safety of F1 has improved by an almost unbelievable level.

When Gerhard's car went up in flames at Tamburello in 1989, I was watching on TV, pretty sure that he was going to die. Too young, I think, to conclude that the corner itself was the crux of the problem. All I saw was the inferno.

I was at Imola in 1989 (my first European F1 GP) for Berger's accident - I was sitting at Rivazza but we did hear that his chest got burnt - I was wondering if he had his race suit opened at the neck. I was also at Imola in 1994 for the three days. We were sitting at Tosa in the morning but moved to Variante Alta for the Qualifying session so we missed Ratzenberger's accident . On the Sunday I was sitting with some Italian friends at Rivazza and they used my radio to keep us up-to-date with the news (we knew Senna had a trachy). I was in Adelaide for Senna's last win in 1993 and the concert that evening was Tina Turner and she sang "Simply The Best" to him on stage. I was also in Sao Paulo in 1994 for his last home race.

My god. I haven't cried like this in years. What a shame.

Another one of those What Ifs that could alter the course of history... approaching Ayrton's 30th death anniversary 😔

Gerhard was just lucky af... RIP Ayrton

Dang near jerked a tear!!! Crazy story! This channel made me jump off the F1 deep end

Moving the wall backwards at Tamburello wouldn’t have saved Senna, it could’ve made his impact even worse because the angle would be even sharper (almost head-on). The smarter decision would be moving the wall closer to the track (like an oval/street course), that way the impact is mostly on the side of the car.

There's always a "sweet" spot in such cases, where the angle and speed is optimized to yield as much damage. But I feel Tamburello already hit it. Besides, any other angle and Senna would probably be alright because the tyre wouldn't have hit him

DC looks like he about to burst into tears. Fair enough tragic

Ahh it’s still just so sad all these years later.

It was a miracle that Berger himself survived his accident at Tamburello in 89. It probably actually contributed to a certain complacency that set in about driver safety in the early 90s.

Niki lauda was the first driver to speak up about the real risk of dying every time a driver gets into a car...... he made people think about the situation when he said that drivers being killed should not be part of entertainment.......

That makes it even worse Horrible tragedy

What podcast is this?

Formula For Success - David Coulthard and Eddie Jordan and random guest (usually an ex driver) talking about F1 every episode

They could have taken some land on the inside of the corner and made it tighter and created a bit more run off.

Formula for success

The most tragic bit is how he had the Austrian Flag in his car for Rolland to use it if he won

Move the river..... then move the wall and get old Tamburello back.

Tamburello was problematic, Senna was problematic, they both met their end together. RIP Tamburello.

They’ve made F1 way too safe. They get paid the danger money . Get on with it

Problem was not the imola circuit, problem was the modification Williams do on the steering,way you talk like that? Very inappropriate, really.

Don t forget Senna was dirty driver like Earnhart. He chose to customize the steering colum, not the team. He played dirty with his own teammates like prost in Japan. Yes he was quick and gained a little poles, but he had a stuck up attitude. One can be a professional. Fast driver, a nice well mannered man and still win at Indianapolis and Indy cars like Mandell and fitipaldi, etc. Smith A Dawson

Wow sounds like new news?

Was bad about this isn't just that he's lying He said he's trying to exploit somebody's death. Shit happens, Senna died. There's nothing miraculous about it. It's sad to try to make it anything beyond what it really was.
