  • RIP ROLAND & AYRTON

  • Just check 3:23 when Schumacher enters the chicane. He is drifting that car into the corner, and the rate of steering input in every corner is just staggering. I have an impression that senna did not have such impressive performance behind the wheel. His input looks like the simpler old school driving and his throttle tapping was becoming a severely outdated technique.

  • is that Ratzenberger, who is overtaken by Hill 9:30 to 9:40?

  • @kofferklo Hi. Thanks for the comment and question. I've come to the conclusion over the years that it's his team mate David Brabham. His helmet was White with Blue on the side, Roland's was also White but with Red on the top. So because I can't see the Red, and because also we see that Simtek follow Damon down that straight to that corner and then Roland's crash occurs before Hill finishes his next lap, it's safe to say it's Brabham - who was overlooked for what a courageous job he did Sunday..

  • In them days (I'm 38, 21 at the time) we could NEVER think a driver could ever die any longer: that was something regarding the 'old times', the '70s, we had been through the '80s, got over Villeneuve's untimely death, many things had radically changed since then, drivers looked like untouchable well built-up machines (though not soul-less as Schumacher, to be honest), we were sons of the '80s' 'way onto the future' attitude. Senna could never die, in our eyes.

    Imola '94 crashed that dream.

  • it was nice to see how hard the driver were putting input into the steering and of cause the driver was sat more upright so u could see who was who

  • @shirfield The drivers weren't more upright in those days.  The cockpits sides are just higher these days.

  • @Mclarenman1 You're most welcome, glad to be a part of your education! :-)

  • Even though i loved the technical part of these cars, they had to be contained again by the regulations. Terrible that 2 drivers paid the ultimate price that weekend.

  • Magicco Alesi...I miss your tough racing for us...

  • Anyone else noticed Schumacher pressing that green button on the steering wheel before every heavy braking zone? Automatic downshifts o' clock :P

  • didnt a pit crewman get killed on raceday to

  • No, during the race, when a loose wheel came from Michele Alboreto's Minardi after a pit stop, the loose tire and Alboreto's car hit pit crew members from Lotus, Benetton and Ferrari.

  • @cfoster81 Correct but I don't think his actual car hit any members of the crews, just the tyre that flew off and ended up leaving the pits all by itself striking many team members in pitlane before ending up down the race track...

  • They say the inside line at Tamburello (with the 2 bumps) is what killed Ayrton by causing irreversible oversteer. Yet at 09:35 you see Hills FW16 take a very tight line at Tamburello, I wonder how flat he took it. Didn't seem to bottom out much, then again he's not on race fuel load here.

  • Thanks foir uploading these vids.

    I thought they were lost forever. Do you have the Sunday race video?

  • I'm glad you and others have been kind enough to say they appreciate it. Yes I do have the full race, but no I won't be uploading it for 2 reasons. This took me ages and I've not the time these days. The second point is FOM would probably pull it down anyway, they've pulled many other attempts by others uploading it. I'm amazed this has been allowed to stay, but they won't allow Saturday Qualifying 7..? It would seem they want to still have control and dominate what we can and cannot watch :-(

  • What was the quali format back then? Why two days of quali?

  • I'm not sure, I just know that the times they did in the Practise on one or both of the Friday sessions, contributed to their Qualifying Time, yet most drivers would eclipse this on the Saturday as the track rubbered in and they got more confident with their cars and had fine-tuned their set-ups. But Senna set his last ever Pole Position here on the Friday as a result of Saturday's Quali being affected with Roland's crash. Hope that clears it up. Anybody with any further details please comment:)

  • @DAH210774 I think it's probably a legacy of the larger grand prix of the mid to late 1980s where grand prix fields had close to 40 cars and there were pre qualifying sessions to get the field down to 26.

    Pre qualifying would be held on thursday morning , then 1st qualifying friday and 2nd on saturday.After pre qualifying was scrapped i spose it was cut down to the two sessions for the reasons you cite but also to prevent qualifying being totally affected by weather like it can be these days.

  • @dave41184 Yes I remember those days well Dave :-) Although in this season there was no pre-quali but I think they had the 107% rule!? Thank goodness most of the cars these days are within a few seconds of one another. Poor Roland was 6 secs a lap off the pace of Ayrton's pole before his crash. Let's hope those new teams with the Cosworths are still competitive and we have a great 2010 season! :-)

  • Thanks man great video nice to see people who are passionate about F1 paying respect to drivers whom i was to young to follow their careers

  • THANK YOU, men. EL mejor video que he visto.....

  • great video !!!

    thanks a lot i've been looking for it a long time ago.

    i found it at one of your comments where ya said to acess your account to watch da 94 qualifying...

    THANK'S A LOT...

  • senna must have had an outstanding last sector!

    incredible!and sad!

    i wish i had seen senna and schumacher racing against each other for many years more!

  • Very Rare I see F1 Qualifying from back then, especially the whole coverage, thanks for the upload, very bad weekend but I get to see some Qualifying!

  • thanks for these videos :)

  • I'm glad you're enjoying them :-)

  • Where is part 2?

  • Formula One Management have now deleted it from me twice!?! Still trying to get it in, bare with me...

  • Doesnt surprise me. It shows Roland's awful crash as well as the part where they give him heart massage. FOM probably doesnt want people to feel disgusted by what they see. best of luck trying to put it up. I remember the first time I saw those images, I almost fell into shock.

  • you posted the part 2? if no, post it in aother place and pass the link for us, please

  • It's on the right in column. If it doesn't come up in the related videos which I'd be amazed if it doesn't (as it's my most popular video) search for it in More From' ;-)

  • oh thx :)

  • Cool :-)
