    Imagine in the saturday afternoon you are witnessing Ratzenbergers death crash.
    And then about 24 hours later you are witnessing the Sennas death accident, so what a traumatic experience it must have been for a spectator that weekend.

      Both tragic deaths but it pisses me off you only hear of senna's death at imola. If.you say ratzenberger died there too that weekend: ah, he was just a rookie, who cares?
      No, he was a talented driver who had some bad luck that saturday by picking up gravel from a accident few minutes beforehand. He is forgotten though because "senna died" senna's death was tragic but not any worse that ratzenberger's death.

      @@mightress I beg to differ. Yes, they're tragic in the same way and yes, Ratzenberger was a promising talent, but Senna was a titan, and could very well be the best driver in F1 history. There's simply much more weight to Senna's name, so it's what people will inevitably remember more.

      @@mightress Does it really piss you off? I'll tell you something that will make you even more furious, if it weren't for Senna's death, Ratzenberger would certainly be little remembered. Ratzenberger is more remembered than De Angelis, Villeneuve for example or other drivers who died in previous years and who had more status than him, Senna's death is more commented on because Ayrton Senna was an icon of a generation of talented F1 drivers of the years 80 / 90 so don't be mad because if it wasn't for Senna's death you wouldn't talk about Ratzenberger these days and make sure he'll be remembered forever but let's not mess things up here, your anger is meaningless and more closer to hatred for the admiration people have for Senna than anything else

      At that grandstand I assume you knew the situation with Roland was serious. Without smartphones back then, when did you hear that Roland passed away? Was that on the grandstand? Or didn't you knew untill you saw or read the news? Or maybe you knew instantly?
      How was the feeling or atmosphere the next day?
      And after Ayrtons crash, did you guys there knew what was going on? Were you told through the speaker?

He said it could mean many things, that it could mean waking up the next day (because that does happen). Is he not allowed to be happy for winning? You act as if there's only one emotion a person can feel, or as if there's only one thing that should be on a person's mind, when the world has so many things going on. Just because you wouldn't be, doesn't mean that your way is the best way of going about it. So no, him smiling tells nothing beyond what you WANT it to. Why you'd want to believe something negative about someone shows more about you than anything here. Also, condemn Hakkinen and Burti for the same thing while you're at it, they "celebrated" too.

      Roland suffered a basal skull fracture, instant death. In Italian law a death at a public event required that the event be cancelled. F1 covered up his death at the track resulting in the race going ahead, in breach of the law, resulting in the death of Senna. Ecclestone is completely responsible for Senna’s death.

      it was an outrageous charade that ended with the death of Senna

  • @sfugid

    Amazing, your family captured the exact moment in which Ratzenberger damaged the front wing of his car that led to his accident the next lap.. In the Wikipedia it says that he damaged it at a run off at Acqua Minerale chicane but you can clearly see at 3:49 that after spinning on Tosa he tries to rejoin the track but in this attempt he hits the high kerb on the inside of the corner bending the front wing of the Simtek as a result..
    His run off a few corners later may have actually been a consequence of this and probably further damaged the car leading to the horrible accident in the next lap.

      And the car was ok but nobody could bet that the front wing would have broken in the next lap while he was flatout coming from Tamburello (around 300km/h) approaching Villeneuve kink/turn.

      Ive heard a theory for a good few years that when someone dies at an Italian (sporting) event, the event would be shut down pending investigation into the death. I've heard (and this isn't very nice) that is why they kept Senna on life support until after the race. But if that was true, wouldn't they've stopped the weekend after Roland died?
      Sorry its a long meandering question but I've always wondered if there's any truth to it.

      @Philly Cheesesteak Ayrton's death was not due to the stupidity of the mechanics. he died because the tires were cold due to the safety car that came in because of the crash at the start. Ayrton's car was low and bounced on the entry straight into the tamburello. to make matters worse, there was a strip of grass between the track and the gravel pit that took the car even more out of contact with the ground. there is an analysis showing the steering bar all the way to the left, which indicates that the car was supposed to make the turn if the tires were warm.

      Italian law would have forced them to cancel it. Events are stopped by law if a driver dies on track, Roland Ratzenberger did die on track. It was very common especially in countries with laws like that to avoid declaring a driver dead at the circuit, because that would mean the end of the race weekend.
      Roland was declared dead on arrival at the hospital, they could do nothing for him, he was already dead and beyond all hope. Autopsy confirmed his death had been instantaneous both in a clinical and cardiac sense of the term.
      Sid Watkins even told Senna that Ratzenberger was dead, while he was still in the Medical Centre.

    I read something that said that Roland died on impact and the Italian law states that the track should have been locked for a full investigation which would have cancelled the race the following day. Instead, they treated him like he might still live, took him to a hospital to declare his death and continued with the proceedings.
    Had they followed the rules, Senna might not have died.

How he waited until he could safely rejoin the qualifying session only to lose his life at the same point the next lap. I was only 23. I used to watch F1 on tv when they started broadcasting the races live here. On that particular Sunday having been away all weekend I happened to switch the radio on (I used to avoid all media so I could watch the race highlights if I’d missed the live programme) of course it was headline news that Senna had also died. I was so shocked I had to pull off the motorway at the next services. RIP both

However, after the events of Imola watching Senna's demise, our F1 tradition faded and was never the same too

    The start of the season was so bad that year. Alesi and Lehto injuring their backs in testing crashes. Then the 4 car pile-up at Interlagos with J. Verstappen, Irvine, Brundle & Bernard. Then all what happened at Imola. Next was Wendlinger at Monaco and he was put into a coma. And finally Montermini had a big one in Spain damaging his legs. And then the Morbidelli, Brundle and a marshal in Japan towards the end of the year. My first year of watching F1 and my first live on TV race was the ill-fated San Marino GP. My first experience of what death was the same time aswell as I was only 8 years old. Although sad and possibly distasteful, I was hooked on all motorsport from there onwards. God may all racers and other personnel race forever in our heaven and our hearts. ❤

    Apparently the front wing came off Roland’s Simtek while he was approaching Tosa, which is what caused his accident. Really tragic… I often wonder why there wasn’t a tire wall or additional run-off there?

    • @OsellaSquadraCorse
      @OsellaSquadraCorse Год назад +1

      You cant put additional runoff there - it'a hairpin. Tyres could have been added, but nobody really used to go off there. unless you have a failure, it was basically a straight, and just wasn't a consideration at that time.

      @@milanmocik3591 The car's they have now are very boring to drive and very boring to watch. If you look at F1 today, it's mostly trying hype things up, when they is not much in it. DRS, KERBS, Electric Engines, excess regulation, too much grip, car's are too long, terrible sound. It's like their all on rails. I recall, Allesi doing laps in 1970's Ferrari this year, you could feel and see that energy coming back. Today there is no energy in modern F1. They need to go back to the early 90's regulation, make it safer, Halo, more Side Protection, maybe make the car's 20 - 25% bigger for safety, bring back those loud engines, just add 20 to 25% more weight, more engine power. No DRS, NO electric engines.

    Incredible footage. It looks like Roland had trouble with that corner even before his crash. I couldn't tell - was that his Simtek getting pulled out of the gravel trap by the crane, or was that his teammate?
