prost and schumacher were just great drivers.... Senna was something else, he was larger than life. like Hendrix, made his mark on the world and left soon after, never having time to fade. Larger than life.

[@SilverWolf89936]

Well said. he left the world when he was still at his peak. 1993 stands for me as his most incredible year in F1 though. he didn't won the WC but he gave so many shows of his skill - Brazil, Donnington are some that come to my mind.

[@reduolf]

He got pole position at Imola!! (and Pole at the previous races) In the lap before his crash, he set the fastest lap time!! He was going for his win more than ever, he didn't care about Schumacher...he probably would've won had he not had his misfortune at Tamburello!! (That car finished 2nd that season with Damon Hill...if Senna had been driving...it almost certainly would've won him his 4th title!!)

[@misobozic2634]

4th title??? lol but senna couldn't finish the race with that williams, are you blind? put that fan glasses away and you will see how much trouble he had with the car that season...

Senna finish 1.6 seconds ahead of hill, I think you have to put your glasses away, Senna is the best of history without discussion and he would win his 4th title

[@aisasia7210]

Not said! Had he had a simple retirement in Imola, after 3 races Schumi30pts, Senna 0pts. A gap not easy to fill for sure(although still 13races to go). AND had the 2races ban been cast upon Schumi as well, we'd be here talking about the best driver on the best car STEALING his 4th title with the complicity of FIA AGAINST a young and never-before-winning team and rookie..

[@will4807]

miso bozic the reason he didn’t finish the race was due to a last minute repair on the steering column because Senna was uncomfortable with the lack of space. This repair turned out to be fatal -and if it weren’t for Italian laws, that engineer (Patrick Head I believe) would have been found guilty for Senna’s death. The fact he couldn’t finish with the car wasn’t his fault.

[@10DKJUMP]

Daz Burnside Yes, definitely agree Daz. You can clearly see that Senna would take a tight curve and then straighten the car around the curve with a right turn. On the crash though as he takes the curve and then tries to straighten the car around Tamburrello the car understeers and veers off to the right. This goes against what Williams said about the car "oversteering", and being inconsistent with a steering column failure. It had to be failure in the steering that caused the crash, no doubt about it.

[@RodClinard]

After watching this, it's very hard for me to believe that after qualifing, when the car is at it's lightest, LOWEST, fastest, and how many times he went through the parabolica, bottoming out was the best excuse they could come up with that caused his accident. Steering broke. Simple as that.

The changes to the circuit now retains a lot of its qualities. They removed the chicane before the S/F line and the horrible chicane before Acqua Minerale. Still such an amazing ciruit.

[@unfortunately_fortunate2000]

I too quite enjoy the modern layout, it did however make it less of a power hungry circuit & way more about carrying speed through the corners and acceleration which tbh makes the racing there much more entertaining. the Eau Rogue chicane was pretty awful as well but in this period of history slowing for a chicane somehow equaled safety, not sure that was all that accurate considering how many horrific crashes we've all seen similar chicane's produce.

[@wd.8888]

I always liked the acqua minerale chicane. The drivers would really thread through the first bit chucking the car around sliding, then the second long phase of the corner was off camber but for some reason very grippy and could be taken unsually quickly, then they’d fully pin it onto the top of the hill. Also much preferred the fast Variante Bassa chicane to the straight run from Rivazza now. Old Imola was peak

[@Tumbino]

Senna: forever number 1.

[@ShAdOwUlf7]

You're right, there are hundreds of slow, fast corners like tamburello on race tracks all over the world. In my opinion, they didn't need to change the corner and put in a chicane, I think they shoulda taken down the concrete wall that Senna hit and replace it with a tyre barrier.

@JRRacing85 Nonsense. This video itself is just another solid proof of the failure of the steering wheel prior to the car going off. Notice how the steering wheel on the in-car shots here doesn't move at all compared to the severe degree it moves on the in-car footage a lap before the impact. Only someone without any understanding for racing single seaters would claim that Senna lost control over such a simple bend as Tamburello. And there isn't a driver who claimed it was Senna's fault...

The car was very light during this qualifying lap whereas he was on full tanks when the accident happened. I believe the extra weight made it bottom on the bumps.

[@VWaudiRULEs]

well I'm sorry, but you people obviously don't know what you are talking about. Clipping the ground could have been fatal for a 1982 car, which didn't even had a front wing, because it used ground effects. For the Senna years, bottoming was 100% normal - PLEASE do your research first, before getting upset. Sparks came very often, and usually a lot more! On the underside of the car was something called a "skidplate"! There never was an accident in that era caused by bottoming, not one, even

[@MindHole98]

I believe Prost asserted after the accident that Senna knew something may have been untoward with the steering; he pointed to Senna appearing to 'test' the steering at the last right-hand chicane, prior to the main straight, during his final race lap. I've done some observations myself, comparing Senna's steering movement at this last chicane (2:20-2:23) on the video above vs Senna at the same chicane on his last lap during the race (link below, fast forward to 0:34-0:37) and there is clearly a significant difference in how Senna steers through this final chicane. In qualifying (above), he steers more rigidly and direct, with less steering action - whereas during the race on this final chicane, he is apparently testing/flexing the steering, almost as if he wanted to make sure it was in working order. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqfaYnWmg92cgbs

[@leonardocamara9063]

Não há teste nenhum. Na corrida fatal, perto dos boxes, ele percebe que algo está errado na direção, pois sentiu que a flexão do volante - entrando em colapso através da coluna de direção - estava diferente. Por isso ele olha para o volante por 3 vezes tentando entender o que estava acontecendo.

Back then we thought that Williams was the best car at the grid. Of course, as time went by, we learned that Newey screw up and the car had serious aerodynamic problems (changing the balance on every corner). Also at the time, we didn't know that Schumacher was the "new" Senna and the Benetton B194 projected by Byrne and Brawn was one of the best cars ever designed. The 1994 season was marked by Senna's death, for sure. But also characterized by the "birth" of a new set of legends. Anyway, as Frank, Patrick and Newey said (on many occasions), Senna was fighting against the car and they were more than impressed on how good he really was - driving a car with under and over steering problems - since Williams simply couldn't solve the balance issue at the beginning of the season. Re-watching this flying lap after so many years (now knowing all his problems with Williams car) is a truly joy. Cheers!

So the fact he was facing opponents who he (correctly) believed were cheating, may have got to his head, rightfully!!!

OK, I think I already tried to explain these cars did not use ground effects. The bottoms were flat, the only thing there was is a diffuser to make the car more efficient and produce less drag. The sparks come when the car's bottom makes contact - yes - but it doesn't mean it's too low. It was normal. Besides, it's usually just bumps hitting part of the skidplate. There were bumps on Tamburello. Again, I ask you to find me cases where sparks and bottoming out caused anyone to go off. It was 100%

You cant take the corner too fast. Even a full fuel load on cold tires (Which they weren't). The corner is flat out, and had been for years. The steering colomn was re-welded, so the best bet is; when he went around during the race the welds broke under the extra G's (As thats a massive G corner, and puts massive strain on the entire car). As ofcourse, when you re-weld something, it will never be as strong as it was; always becomes a little weaker.

Well the steering column was patched up the night before - fact. Williams insisted it was cracked "only" 20% before impact - even that would be completely abnormal for the 2nd fast lap on a race. The court ruled in 2005 it was the steering that caused the accident.

[@VWaudiRULEs]

Ok, you can say that and I see you are trying to analyze. But there is one main problem with the theory you argue - Tamburello isn't really a corner - it is a flat-out bend, which means these cars, as long as properly-functional, take Tamburello as fast as they can go, like a straight line. You don't need to apex anything. This is the LAST place you can mess up, or be thrown out by "cold tires"

great lap senna.

Well said. If Senna survived, he would have managed to get the pole and victory at Monaco only on his talent (probably more than 1 sec faster than Schumacher on this circuit, especially due to corners that require talent and guts like entry of swiming pool or Casino. Just look at Senn's trajectories there and the others)and improve the FW-16A and develop the FW-16B faster than Hill or Coulthard.

Disturbing to see Villeneuve curva and Kronenburg AD ,.. even after 21 years. Rothmans also got stuck into head like a burn mark ,.,., damnit : ( Wouldve sooo luv 2 see how many WDC's and what after the career? I bet B.Senna wouldve gotten pretty long F1 Career if nothing else but at least with a help of A.Senna backing him up,. who knows maybe even with their own team. Prost failed thou quit badly with his team so ... we never know now,. its a shame. Rest in Peace Senna The Great.

+WeLWets Senna crashed in Tamburello. Not Villeneuve.

[@JonsterMonster]

+azynkron I meant Ratzenberger. I didnt said it quite clear thou. Kronenburg advert reminds me always about the crash. Villeneuve reminds about Roland. Anyway, tamburello is infamous too.

+WeLWets Kronenbourg - the cursed beer!!!

[@AltEstandart]

@@AltEstandartwhenever I see the Magnetti Marelli logo I just think of the smashed Simtek sliding across the grass with Roland’s limp head moving around.
