As someone who is passionate about Formula One and who was absolutely devasted after witnessing the events of this tragic weekend, I have uploaded these videos as a tribute to Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger.

CAUTION: Some accident scenes are graphic so if you are sensitive to such material please do not watch.

They clearly show how dangerous this circuit once was and also how the Marshalls and Paramedics used to treat drivers immediately after an accident. At the start of the year the FIA had banned certain driver aids and the sport literally became more dangerous as a result.

Senna himself had predicted major accidents and can be seen here investigating how Barrichello is after his accident and commandeering the Safety Car to drive down to the Villeneuve corner to see where Ratzenberger went off the circuit.

It is a testimony to how advanced Formula One and Motorsport (in general) has now evolved in terms of safety and post-accident driver care.

For the true Ayrton Senna fans, it's a last chance to see him flying around a track at top speed on his way to his 65th and last ever Pole Position. We can only guess how he would have developed the Williams FW-16 that year and wonder what could have been.

Please be respectful but feel free to leave comments.

Rest in Peace - Ayrton and Roland

Thank you

  • 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..

  • Thanks for this. I'm only 18 and watching a full session rather then highlights is just the best and most interesting way to learn the history. Fantastic.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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
