These drivers were Michele Alboreto (Ferrari) and Christian Danner (Zakspeed). This was during the practise session, and FIA judges disqualified Danner from the rest of the GP weekend.

How technology has changed in just 2 decades.I have yet to see a fireball in recent F1 seasons and I congratulate Jackie Stewart who implemented these changes in manufacturers safety.

@NOXXism Practically after his death and the effect of it there has been no accident. R.I.P senna

[NOXXism]

Honestly, Senna was the trigger for all these safety measures.

@bedsandbellies The only fireballs today are coming from Renault. Specifically Nick Heidfeld's Renault. And that's only because of their front facing exhaust system.

@bedsandbellies Big thanks to Jackie, but he's not F1's only safety crusader. Lots of other brilliant minds have worked to make Formula 1 as safe as it is today.

@MrJordanowen Alboteto died at the Lausitzring 2001 (practise for 24h race) in an Audi R8

[MrJordanowen]

@odr752 didnt alboreto die in the incedent, its really saddening if it was

Racing incident, the faster car cut in front of the slower car. Nothing he could have done.

Definitely the car in the white's fault (which I assume is Danner, looking at the comments)

This is by far the best camera angle Ive ever seen at Monaco - much better idea of the steepness of the gradient here - the normal TV angles dont fully show the gradient like this does - they should have had one up there at all times.
