@NOXXism yh the doctor said that ronald was still alive just at the track but knew he would not make it but he died at hospital and the race went on. But it's better that senna went in his prime IMO because it pains me to see Schumacher get over taken Senna will always have my respect but Schumacher is becoming forgotten
@TittyTittyBangBangXX Somewhat remarkably, he only suffered minor burns to his hands, arms and back. He missed one race in recovery but was back for the Mexican Grand Prix just 4 weeks later, where he was running in the points until his gearbox gave up.
OK, I'm not saying that this crash proves anything. However, looking at the manner in which Bergher went off, very similar to Senna, does it not at least raise the question that maybe there was more to Senna's crash then the column breaking? It's an open question I'm putting out there. Not a statement of fact. Food for thought, surely?
@NOXXism There is a river right outside Tamberello so they couldn't extend the run off area. Senna and Berger (after Berger's accident) actually walked the corner to see what could be done...only to find a river in the way. Berger says the spot where Senna noticed the river is where he died. If only they thought of a chicane Senna would still be kicking ass somewhere. It's always that one thing we forget that bites us in the ass.
@xcruzrr6 when someone dies during a race weekend (Roland) the race should be cancelled in order to investigate the death of the driver. The FIA claimed Roland died at the hospital, evading the law, but doctors said he died at the track. The fia just didn't want to lose money.
@NOXXism Yeah....that's sounds about shady enough to be FIA material. If so that's terrible. I agree, the race should have been cancelled. Senna didn't even look like he wanted to race in "Senna" the movie. Nurses found Roland's flag tucked in Senna's sleeve. He must have wanted to dedicate it to him. After that came the Benetton farse. what a shame
@xcruzrr6 Senna himself didn't want to race. Even Sid watkins told senna he shouldn't race but senna said he had to. Senna was going to dedicate his victory to roland. Just the look on his face 15 minutes before the race tell everything. That was the worst weekend of the worst year. Crew men got very injured 2 drivers died. A true nightmare
That Tamburello was an evil bend. I think in 1994 Imola was a dangerous circuit. It was known as a power circuit and Tanburello had seen many of the top drivers go off over the years ; Patrese , Alberetp ,Berger ( god knows how he survived that one ), and Piquet. The circuit itself was known to be very bumpy. The cars at that time carried alot of speed plus no adequate run-off areas.
stupid ass tamburello, berger had an accident there, nelson piquet had an accident there in '87, and who could forget the fatal crash of one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time. imola may not be the most dangerous but it is the deadliest.
There are today so many circuit that are worst than Imola for security, the only thing is that the cars are changed in this years...Probably, with the cars that drivers are using now, no-one of these accidents will hav ebeen so serious.
Today fuel cannot exit from the car like Berger's Ferrari
Today Ratzenberger's front wing will have not be broken like that day, like Senna's steer...
In that years serious accidents did happen frequently...
Best circuit ever and I really miss it. Too bad they vandalized it after Senna's death. Senna's death was a tragedy, but that's motor racing. If you can't handle it, watch lawn bowls instead!
This is so similar with Senna crash. Drive straight to the wall and hit it with the nose of the car. The difference is that Berger was lucky, and Senna was unlucky (if that damn suspension part would have gone 5 inches higher he would still be alive).
This prove and shows that the real blame of Senna's death goes to the organisers of the Imola GP. If the idiots would have put protective tires or changed the corner after G. Berger's crash, Senna would have been alive today!
I remember watching this on TV live as a boy and running into the next room to tell my father (who was on the phone) that Burger had just been killed in a terrible accident. Watching it now, 20 years later, it's amazing that anyone could survive being on fire for 30 seconds.
I wasn't aware of that. It's eerily similar to Senna's crash & I thought it, at least, raised the question that Senna's crash was down to lack of downforce and the car hitting the skids. However, now I know that, I guess it dismisses any link between the 2.
@tiadaid No, even Senna would have survived, but was very unlucky, the wheel hit the helmet throwing him violently against the headrest causing a skull fracture on the back of the head. Moreover two carbon suspension arms have penetrated the skull and the helmet of Ayrton.
I was watching the Grand Prix that day. When he crashed, I clearly remember saying to myself "Wow! Nice crash! Now if the car would start burning now, that would turn to be yummy!!". And at this very second, woooof! So I felt very bad and was angry after me for having had those nasty thoughts. Like when you take pleasure being frightened for the acrobat to fall, but feel bad when it actually happens. I couldn't believe he would escape from there. Miracle!
I would echo what mallamoozoo said a year ago. Also, It doesn't matter how safe a circuit is. Mechanical failure is uncontrollable and you are really in the lap of the Gods as to the outcome. I'm glad I was wrong with Berger and sad I was wrong with Senna.
Man... I don't understand why Tamburello specifically was not changed for 1990 or 91 season: everybody knew that it was a death trap waiting to shut on someone after Bergers and Piquets crashes! But no Senna had to die for them to start listening to drivers about dangerous corners!
@jbutton113 Actually I do believe the croner is an awesome one IMO. The question is the safety was not up to what the corner was back then. With todays safety (large run off areas, tyre bariers and stuff like that) those accidents were very less dangerous. And in my mind once again I do believe we need fast corners like the old "Tambu". I believe all drivers love that kind of challenge. sadely enought safety changes (considerable one´s) took place only after that may 94 weekend...

@BENDOON23 You do realise, right, that 1.) YouTube is available in a great many languages, and 2.) the West contains many, many, many, many more languages than just English.
It's crazy how many near death accidents there were in Imola over the years and many drivers survived through pure luck. Then Ratzenberger crashed and died, and in the same weekend Senna too, and YET there are people who still think Senna was "murdered" and that it wasn't an accident.
Imola and nasty accidents are synonymous. So many crashes and injuries in Imola but Senna's suddenly wasn't an accident?? Those conspirace theory people and fanatical Senna fans all need their heads chechd.
Some of it, it is just some people like to add D, E, F, G, H, I, J, etc. to A+B=C to those incidents, that there HAS to be something more, regardless of how stupid it sounds.
Where does it say people cannot post in their own languages?? Fucking hell, there's some posting in Italian too and you don't mind that.
Here's what will happen. You are going to get FLAGGED for being a jerk with no manners, no common sense and no future. I hope for your sake you're just trolling, because if you're not, then it sucks to be you.
@gorgon123ful You are right of course. One thing that makes it tough is that there is a RIVER right there, so there is no room for more run-off areas. Plus the area is in an official park, and changes are really hard to get approved.
While the cars are safer now, some of these old tracks that cant be brought up to proper safety standards should receive serious consideration to be dropped. Blasphemy I know, but who wants to see further deaths over sentimental feelings for old tracks?
Tu non capisci nulla di F1. Imola è uno dei circuiti migliori di tutto il mondiale. Certo è molto tecnico ma non è più pericoloso di tanti altri. Informati meglio.
Amazing, I had no idea about this crash but it's the same spot where Senna crashed! I totally agree with brav0wing in that if this corner was modified after THIS accident, Senna would still be here!
Ayrton and Gerhard both had a big discussion about that corner. I think in 93, well no sure what year but, they had a walk to look at the corner and Gerhard said to Ayrton " There is a river behind the corner, we cant move it" They both agreed and and that was the spot Senna hit and died.
@bbathoorn I was watching the race that day. Very strange feeling to watch a guy burn. But I remember the other camera angle, in replay, where you could see the marshal starting to run towards the car immediately after he hit the wall, then realizing Berger is continuing to slide down the track. He spun around and got into the Alfa Romeo, the other guy already started the engine and with doors open they raced after the Ferrari. In incredible 12 seconds they were there and did a great job!
Berger's crash at Imola was probably the last fiery one envolving a driver almost unconscious still in the car burning away for several seconds. Reminds me of Williamson at Zandvoort 1973 or Paletti at Montreal 1982.
Lucky for Berger he survived, but he wasn't the same after that.
These are the scariest crashes to me. Fortunately there are none of these in modern F1, and hopefully it will continue this way. :)
The safety rules and measyres improved after Senna's Death in 1994 but it took the FIA like a list of these accidents to adopt the "redesigning: of the circuit :
Nelson Piquet 1987
Gerhard Berger 1989
Michele Alboreto 1991
Riccardo Patrese 1992
Ayrton Senna 1994
FIA managers or whatsoever makes a decision in FIA are corrupted and bankrupted.
The FIA have done a lot to improve road safety, not just in F1. They have saved millions of lives through their research and development. programmes.
It's worth noting there was not a fatality at a GP meeting from 1982-1994. An impressive gap in a highly dangerous sport. Was Massa's near fatal shunt in '09 a result of the FIA's lapse in safety? No - it was a freak occurence. As was Senna's death-a broken wheel hit him on the head. Look at Henry Surtees in '09. Unfortunate.
I'd say tamberrelo corner or however you spell it, was one of the best corners ever
it would have been nice if they dug the stream lower so that they can maybe put a huge bridge so that there would be a big run off area if someone did go out doing 200 mph.
now tamberrelo just sucks!! But I still love Imola, I don't know why it's not on the calendar.
We lost Senna on this fucking turn, I cant believe they didn't care to do something about it since Berger's accident, we could still have Senna with us, such a shame.
There's a stream directly on the other side of that retaining wall, which would make reprofiling that turn very difficult. I suppose you could straighten the turn out altogether, but that would make for a very long straight which would introduce its own set of dangers.
That is interesting and I guess sounds right, I guess I got carried away because of Senna's death, however this are the risk's we have to take when we do something like driving @ 200 mph for a living, I just think it was pretty obvious that the turn had very important defects since lots of cars just keep straight there, anyway, whatever is done is done. Thanks for the Info.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah, completely out of luck, the day before Senna's crash other driver died there, a driver from Austria, right? Then Next day Senna crashes there too and die's as well.... Good thing F1's are much safer today, I would not mind loosing Hamilton, but what if it was Kimmi? lol Jk I'm glad safety is better today.
Keep your fucking moronic opinions to yourself you vacuous piece of shit. And do some fucking research before you go waxing lyrical about something you evidently know nothing about. Wanker.
Go fuck your mother and your lil brother you british piece of shit, whats the problem with your pussy ass? having a bad saturday you fucking FAG? why dont you go suck on some sweaty balls you pussy as birtish cunt...
So you're homophobic and xenophobic too? What a well rounded individual you are. (NB: The latter stage of the comment was sarcastic, as I should imagine you need this pointing out to you. You do not seem particularly intelligent).
wots the matter pernell u sad someones come in whos better than senna lol tough luck hamiltons gonna become the complete package soon roflmao in ure face
it's actually quite mental looking back that there was not any sort of safety precaution for a such high speed corner.
Not even a tyre barrier for fuck sake!
I don't like the fact that F1 has now lost it's edge as the sport gets safer and slower each year, but this is just ludicrous, even if it was 20 years ago. (Not that they had one there in 94 either!).
@everythingman987 I beg to differ, go and read a little more on the injuries senna suffered, the tyre, the suspension piercing the helmet or the fact that he hit the wall at a 45 degree angle at around 135mph would have been more than enough to paralyse him let alone kill him. The fact that so much damage had been done to his brain was a result of him hitting the wall and his internal organs continued moving, plus the fact that his temporal artery was ruptured caused massive blood loss. RIP
Senna died in the same local. The bent was very dangerous , and even so, goes on the same way, without any thing to protect.. any grit's box, nothing.. the first time I watched I imagined it was the senna"s accident... there are lots of pilots whos was complaing about it but nothing had been done ;...
The reason why is when the first marshalls ran up to Senna after the crash they could see straight away he was bleeding heavily inside his helmet from the suspension piercing his visor and brain. The marshalls were waiting for medical crew to assist him, sad but true.
God yes it looks as though there is no way he could have survived that. Glad he did. And yes Senna was just tragically unlucky. Such a freak accident for that connecting rod to hit his visor like that.
if they dident keep replacing grass & gravel with stupid & ugly tarmac Senna would still be here

@gorgon123ful You are right of course. One thing that makes it tough is that there is a RIVER right there, so there is no room for more run-off areas. Plus the area is in an official park, and changes are really hard to get approved.
While the cars are safer now, some of these old tracks that cant be brought up to proper safety standards should receive serious consideration to be dropped. Blasphemy I know, but who wants to see further deaths over sentimental feelings for old tracks?

Tu non capisci nulla di F1. Imola è uno dei circuiti migliori di tutto il mondiale. Certo è molto tecnico ma non è più pericoloso di tanti altri. Informati meglio.

Amazing, I had no idea about this crash but it's the same spot where Senna crashed! I totally agree with brav0wing in that if this corner was modified after THIS accident, Senna would still be here!

That's incredible - not too unlike the Senna crash. If it weren't for that damned tyre ...
BarryDennen12 1 year ago
It probably would have been safer if they removed the wall and just let the cars into the river.
All they had to do was put a tyre barrier there after this crash, it would have saved a life...

It's just unbelievable that no one ever thought of putting just a tyre barrier there.
Steering rod or not, the injury to the base of Senna's skull would also have killed him according to numerous books I have read.

Senna was just plain unlucky. The wheel track rod could just as easily have hit Berger. It just wasn't Senna's day.

Ayrton and Gerhard both had a big discussion about that corner. I think in 93, well no sure what year but, they had a walk to look at the corner and Gerhard said to Ayrton " There is a river behind the corner, we cant move it" They both agreed and and that was the spot Senna hit and died.

It's so similar to Tamburello Senna's crash. Same way, same hit, but Berger is still alive. Damn, Senna... :(

bbathoorn 2 years ago 92
@bbathoorn I was watching the race that day. Very strange feeling to watch a guy burn. But I remember the other camera angle, in replay, where you could see the marshal starting to run towards the car immediately after he hit the wall, then realizing Berger is continuing to slide down the track. He spun around and got into the Alfa Romeo, the other guy already started the engine and with doors open they raced after the Ferrari. In incredible 12 seconds they were there and did a great job!

waterfall64 you've got a point there when you replied me :)
But look at these numbers again:
Nelson Piquet 1987
Gerhard Berger 1989
Michele Alboreto 1991
Riccardo Patrese 1992
Those are from 1982 to 1994 (a safe era in F1 history as you claimed).
At the same corner with in different years, the same scenario!
These drivers survived horrific accident for only one reason : it was not their time to go or you can say they are "lucky".
lebaneseonly 2 years ago
Berger's crash at Imola was probably the last fiery one envolving a driver almost unconscious still in the car burning away for several seconds. Reminds me of Williamson at Zandvoort 1973 or Paletti at Montreal 1982.
Lucky for Berger he survived, but he wasn't the same after that.
These are the scariest crashes to me. Fortunately there are none of these in modern F1, and hopefully it will continue this way. :)

The safety rules and measyres improved after Senna's Death in 1994 but it took the FIA like a list of these accidents to adopt the "redesigning: of the circuit :
Nelson Piquet 1987
Gerhard Berger 1989
Michele Alboreto 1991
Riccardo Patrese 1992
Ayrton Senna 1994
FIA managers or whatsoever makes a decision in FIA are corrupted and bankrupted.

They improved it after the Crash.But you wrote "still"...But today it´s much safer.Must be a bbit of missunderstanding..XD

The FIA have done a lot to improve road safety, not just in F1. They have saved millions of lives through their research and development. programmes.
It's worth noting there was not a fatality at a GP meeting from 1982-1994. An impressive gap in a highly dangerous sport. Was Massa's near fatal shunt in '09 a result of the FIA's lapse in safety? No - it was a freak occurence. As was Senna's death-a broken wheel hit him on the head. Look at Henry Surtees in '09. Unfortunate.

Too slow in my opinion; with the Tamburello chicane, the following villeneuve chicane doesn't seem very necessary to me.

I'd say tamberrelo corner or however you spell it, was one of the best corners ever
it would have been nice if they dug the stream lower so that they can maybe put a huge bridge so that there would be a big run off area if someone did go out doing 200 mph.
now tamberrelo just sucks!! But I still love Imola, I don't know why it's not on the calendar.

We lost Senna on this fucking turn, I cant believe they didn't care to do something about it since Berger's accident, we could still have Senna with us, such a shame.
PernellDD 2 years ago
@PernellDD
There's a stream directly on the other side of that retaining wall, which would make reprofiling that turn very difficult. I suppose you could straighten the turn out altogether, but that would make for a very long straight which would introduce its own set of dangers.
cmccarthy 2 years ago
That is interesting and I guess sounds right, I guess I got carried away because of Senna's death, however this are the risk's we have to take when we do something like driving @ 200 mph for a living, I just think it was pretty obvious that the turn had very important defects since lots of cars just keep straight there, anyway, whatever is done is done. Thanks for the Info.

There were several bad crashes here before Senna fatal crash in 1994.
Nelson Piquet 1987
Gerhard Berger 1989
Michele Alboreto 1991
Riccardo Patrese 1992
Every 1 or 2 years there was a nasty crash at the Taburello.
The streak of sheer dumb luck saving the driver simply ran out.

Yeah, completely out of luck, the day before Senna's crash other driver died there, a driver from Austria, right? Then Next day Senna crashes there too and die's as well.... Good thing F1's are much safer today, I would not mind loosing Hamilton, but what if it was Kimmi? lol Jk I'm glad safety is better today.

are some of them they were all lucky to survive. FIA could not cear less about drive safty back then.
After 1994 however the finally did something.
falmark187 2 years ago
it's actually quite mental looking back that there was not any sort of safety precaution for a such high speed corner.
Not even a tyre barrier for fuck sake!
I don't like the fact that F1 has now lost it's edge as the sport gets safer and slower each year, but this is just ludicrous, even if it was 20 years ago. (Not that they had one there in 94 either!).

@everythingman987 I beg to differ, go and read a little more on the injuries senna suffered, the tyre, the suspension piercing the helmet or the fact that he hit the wall at a 45 degree angle at around 135mph would have been more than enough to paralyse him let alone kill him. The fact that so much damage had been done to his brain was a result of him hitting the wall and his internal organs continued moving, plus the fact that his temporal artery was ruptured caused massive blood loss.

The reason why is when the first marshalls ran up to Senna after the crash they could see straight away he was bleeding heavily inside his helmet from the suspension piercing his visor and brain. The marshalls were waiting for medical crew to assist him, sad but true.
