1989 San Marino Grand Prix

The 1989 San Marino Grand Prix at Enzo and Dino Ferrari Autodrome (Imola circuit), Emilia-Romagna, Italy. BBC commentary by Murray Walker and James Hunt, with some French commentary at the beginning and during Gerhard Berger's fiery crash that stopped the race.

The circuit was renamed "Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari" after the Ferrari founder's death in 1988, before it was named "Autodromo Dino Ferrari", the circuit named after Mr. Ferrari's son's death in 1956, Dino was destined to be his successor.

Thank you infinitely for uploading all this classic footage.

Would be great if you did it for more recent races too, I'd love to watch Suzuka 2005 again.

@surreyduck Most people think it was suspension failure. For a car to turn dead right like that would never be due to driver error

[laughinclown88]

Berger's crash: strikingly similar to Senna's 5 years later. Tamburello corner was just waaay too fast and dangerous

Excellent race - amazing Berger was racing again just two races later after this.

[STEFAZON500]

@FunkyMonkMan It wasnt you should check out: The death of Ayrton Senna - what Natgeo did not say. It explains everything

James Hunt: "Somthimg must've broken on the car..." *later on* "Piquet went of there a few years ago with a failure on his car"

I refuse to believe that Senna's accident was driver error.

Thanks for sharing. I've seen it live back in 1989 and it's one of those races you'll never forget.
