As Johnny Herbert said, they found nothing but pieces of the car around everywhere. But no sign of Pedro until he and a marshall went into the pedestrian tunnel. And then Herbert admitted he could not believe that Lamy was alive. 'He was unconsious but gradually came to, breathing with pain. At first i didn't want to go into the wreackege but i had to. I feared the worst after what's happened recently'.

i’d heard a lot about this crash but never seen it till now, he is incredibly lucky

Jesus! It's a miracle Pedro survived this! 😱

I've always heard it was bad, but I didn't realise it was THIS bad This might have been F1's Tony Renna moment. Had it happened on race day, the sport would've likely been in big, big trouble.

If it happened at that year's British GP right after Imola, I imagine it could've been the end of F1 entirely.

@@riverdelta7052 F1 was struggling a lot in the mid 90s, and competing against CART from USA. Already before 1994 Senna and a couple drivers were complaining about safety, Imola too and had they had a third death F1 would have had a lot of trouble and probably a huge wake up call. They did do a lot of learning and by the end of the decade things did look better. By 2003 and the HANS device, F1 was safe as ever and the sport reached peak safety

On the contrary, I always regret the poor quality (x today's standards) of my videos. Unfortunately I can't do better, I'm a digital troglodyte., I'm sorry. I remember at the time (but I could be wrong) that the Lotus wreckage was seized ... maybe the problems arise from there. It was spoken of as one of the most spectacular and devastating incidents of the time.

Wow, that seems to be even worse than I imagined. Pedro was lucky to not getting killed in that. Luck was also present this happened during tests instead of a GP weekend: less spectators and officials in area where car ended.

Great find, thanks

I'd heard about the accident but when I went to Silverstone you could still see the scortch marks in the pedestrian tunnel for a number of years.

thanks for posting

The only thing that saved him was the gradual loss of energy as each stage of the crash unfolded. At each impact the car carried on whilst shedding various parts which gradually reduced the energy of the crash. Very, very lucky.

I think about Lamy every time I walk through that spectator tunnel

He did a proper job. Incredibly fortunate to survive. Only a few years previous to that he wouldn’t have been nearly as lucky- 1990 Lotus 102 which Martin Donnelly crashed for example. That would have folded up around him😳

I remember quite well as I'm Portuguese. He was very lucky Herbert find in inside the tunnel ... suspension failure of Wich FIA should have been prosecuted in the Civil Courts.

Absolutely. The FIA removing so many driver aids but keeping the same power was utterly negligent. Should have been done in stages. Senna said there would be accidents.

​​@arthurguitar but max argue that driver aids is a problem and worried it have more accidents with it bc computers are bugged and glitches out if something goes wrong

If Pedro wasn't religious before this, surely he was after this because even i, an athiest, thinks some higher power kept him alive after this. Holy hell!! FIA's kneejerk changes to the cars caused this. The changes caused his rear wing to fail. Lotus should've sued. Pedro too.

is it true that the wreck of his car was found in a pedestrian tunnel?

YES!!!! The season of '94 was just horrible for the drivers. The cars were way too fast and they were flying off the fucking track. At Imola, Rubens Barrichello flew off at a corner airborne and smashed into a tire barrier and almost got killed. Rolland Ratzenberger got killed even though he gave the car too much power into a chicane but the cars were very hard to controll. Sennas accident is still in dispute over the actual cause and another driver (I forget who) almost got killed at Monaco crashing into a tyre barrier somewhere before or after the tunnel I think. It was the worst year by far and I trailed away from watching F1 after that.
