  • At least at 4:14 they admit that they killed Ayrton and not that he died!!!

    As Alboreto said, it had to be a mechanical failure!!! ... and not some other bozo stuff National geographic wants to tell us!!!

    Thanks for this upload, it's been a while since I've seen it ;)

    RIP Ayrton, we all miss you!!!

    I agree

  • come on, if Ratzenberger was deadly hurt on tossa.... it did not demonstrate that imola was not safe?....according with the Italian Law was it not enoug to stop the grand prix?

    after the accident, where they widened the zone of escape? on villeneuve curve or arround the hospital bed where Ratzenberger was declared dead?

    where was the risk, on track or in the hospital?

see all

  • The 2012 is almost upon us and Ayrton you have been dead for so many years now it is shocking, but you know what? After your steering column failed and you died Formula One has never been the same without you. We never forget and please keep those boys on the track safe this year xxx

  • @yafu123 he was worth 100's of millions USD at the time of his death.

  • Senna was worth more than 6.5 million dollars... RIP mate

  • @vprmn areyou? who says I'm not. And what I said is true

  • @Ayrton4everrr are you F1 engineer? you dont know

  • @xcruzrr6 yea but I'm pretty sure Senna does it by feel not looking where his hands should be... and I'm sure the car was messed up... he was clearly not happy with the way it was driving, but seeing what he did with his hands (from the Senna movie, they have REALLY good resolution of the onboard) it does not look the column just snapped... not saying it was in perfect working order mind you...

  • This is bollocks. The teams would all want to know what happened so they could build their legal cases. Why has there never been a stipulation that F1 or any other racing car must be aerodynamically stable? If a yacht designer can go to jail because he failed to design a keel properly and 3 people died, why is it that F1 teams cannot be prosecuted for criminal negligence in this case or that of Graham Beveridge in 2001? Aeroplanes are stable (positively or neutrally). F1 cars should be too.

  • Williams got away with murder...and Natgeo (brits) doesn't want the world to see it that way.

  • @Bryan2799 If he was just entering the corner to find his steering angle...yes. the problem is he was already mid-corner so he knew exactly where the wheel needed to be. To him he shouldn't have had to steer any further. Either way the steering wheel was still turned but the front wheels were straight. Something having to do with steering failed. The steering column is the most likely explanation.

  • Just to confirm, is the clip at 05:36 video of the wing coming off Ratzenberger's car before his crash? I heard something about him suffering wing damage going through a chicane, but I've never seen video of debris coming off before impact.
