This Crash Changed Formula 1 FOREVER..
Video about 1994 season - • Video
The sunny San Marino Grand Prix was the third stage of the 1994 championship. Later it would be called the "black weekend". The most tragic moment in the world of racing.
After the terrible incident involving Rubens Barichello, it was already a terrible start to the weekend, and the next day the Formula 1 world was stunned by the tragic death of Roland Ratzenberger, and only a day later Ayrton Senna died during a race.
The 1994 San Marino Grand Prix is a story of crashes that changed Formula 1 forever...

Ayrton is not dead he’s just a lap in front of us
A friend of mine was there who worked for lotus and he went white and didn't say a word when you asked him about it. Ayrton I did know as he's a human just like us and not unreachable, despite what some of you say. He came out to visit friends whom he knew when he worked for lotus, back in the early 80s. Me and a friend played tennis and he often had a go on my RC Tamiya stadium blitzer truck. He last visited us here in Norfolk UK Jan 8th 1994. I was 13. For reference it killed a spectator, they later died in hospital after being hit by jj leito rear wheel. I got straight from someone who was there despite what it says on wiki, as there was a big cover up with a lot of things involving that race in that country. By rights it should not of took place because Roland Ratzenbeger did actually die on this track. And by italian law, the race should not have taken place.

Roland died on track and an spectator died after the crash at the start of the race. They had two chances of saving Ayrton's life and they preferred to break the law. No one was arrested and that's outrageous. Furthermore, Senna was also killed by the most irresponsible actions done in his car's steering wheel. These actions led to his death, his assassination.

Great video! One tiny correction though: Barrichello's injuries were not as small as reported by most media. In a brazilian podcast he said that when he swallowed his tongue he ended up dying for 5 minutes until paramedics were able to revive him. He also had sequelae from the concussion to the point that he was unable to keep his memories from that whole week and even though he carried Senna's coffin during his funeral, any memory he had from these events were gone, in such a way that he's only able to recall these events by watching recordings. Cheers and congratz for the video!

I was Senna's fan in my childhood in China. There were not a lot of ways to watch live so the best way is to keep watching TV until there are sports news and I can see the highlights. I still remember the day of his death, that I was shocked by this sad news. As a 9 year old boy, I cried. He's a legend of F1! 30 years later, I spent time with my wife to watch all the videos about Aryton, and he IS the one to respect!
I cried for days, he was my idol and my inspiration to become a racing driver . Wet weather master, and genius, his heel and toe, and left foot breaking was incredible

Unfortunatly i was too young to have watched him race live and only heard so many great things about this legend as a race car driver but i never knew how much he cared for his fellow drivers! what a great man and role model.
Senna was a great man he gave a lot to charity and his country he gave is all to formula 1 racing he is a legend and one of the greatest drivers of all time you are a legend rip senna😊
Heartbreaking to see Ayrton and Schumi looking so fit and healthy ...... God Bless them both.
Senna will live on through all the people who loved him, he was not just a great driver but more importantly a great human. The best racing driver of all time, and not because he is no longer with us, he was simply the best ever.
Correction: Ayatron didn't go to Williams for a more powerful car, he went because they had dynamic suspension also known as automatic suspension. This suspension tech gave drivers edge when it came to taking corners.
A really good documentary about what happend in 1994. Still miss him. He was my hero. ❤
Ayrton died on my birthday, the year i broke my neck... I finally got to Imola to visit his Memorial... The statue was smaller than i thought, yet its surrounded by fresh flowers.... He is still honoured....💞

i completely forgot that Eric Comas simply drove there in his car. my heart sank to my feet once again. such tragedy. the fact so much blood was lost and it literally rained on the cars below was all you needed to know and it was a crime that the race still went on, after it was already a crime it started in the first place. the sad thing about all of this was that had Senna actually decided to boycot and not race, he would have lived. he would not have raced, but he never raced more than 7 laps that day either. there are many conspiratory stories, including assassination by (sniper) gunfire, supposedly indicated by the hole in the helmet, the reason being exactly the proposed boycot and that senna, as claimed, threatened to come out with the truth that they knew Ratzenberger was dead upon impact and that they should have cancelled, which has been claimed involved Italian mafia. Far out stuff? perhaps. probably. but, it encompasses the severity of that weekend. it was the darkest moment in F1 history. the weekend of Bianchi's death was eerily similar though.

legends never die
Every single Brazilian I know, who was old enough to understand, know where they were when Senna died. I knew of his death when I was very little because my mom would always tell me how she was a teenager in her living room when she watched the crash. I knew of Ayrton’s death before I had ever watched cars racing and I only first learned of F1 because of it
Saw a few clips in this that I've never seen before. Or maybe never realised at the time. RIP Senna and Roland 🙏
Our hero Senna, today rests in his father's arms, amen. Eternal Senna!! from Brazil thanks
I will admit i wasn't born yet but finding out the Senna had an Austrian Flag in the car for Ratzenberger.
I loved watching f1 around that time...i was 15 and Mika Häkkinen was my favorite...i think when he had his crash it hit me just as much as everyone hit by Sennas death. 30 years ago and its still as fresh as if its happened just yesterday. Great athletes!
I was six, a Senna fan thanks to my father, this was the death that made me realize what death really was and the feeling of loss that came with it. Now with 36 still remember vividly that moment.
Comas rushing to the scene with his car wanting to help his friend is truly heartbreaking to witness
Wish could turn back time.....that fu**ing moment when he crashed.....it still hurts so much. Love you 4ever Ayrton ❤️

1 was 8 years old when this happenend and i didn't know anything about formula 1. I was listening to a soccer finale in Holland which was interrupted to bring news of Senna's crash. It took some time before the news of him dying reached us, i'll never forget my uncle, with an anxious face asking me nervous: is he dead? When i said that i believed so he couldn't say anything. It's something i'll never forget.
