Formula One World Champion Ayrton Senna died on 1 May 1994, as a result of his car crashing into a concrete barrier while he was leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy. The previous day, Roland Ratzenberger died when his car crashed during qualification for the race. His and Senna's accidents were the worst of several accidents that took place that weekend and were the first fatal accidents to occur during a Formula One race in twelve years.
The 1994 San Marino Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 1 May 1994 at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, located in Imola, Italy. It was the third race of the 1994 Formula One season.
Roland Ratzenberger died during qualifying for the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
This race was also Michael Schumacher’s first World Championship in Formula 1.
Amazing sound from 2:40 and about 40 sec.

This video is a very rare contribution to the motorsport story. The quality of the 23-year-old footage is perfect. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! :-)

@@aceinthepace540 That's quite right. I know I was going to be 16 2 weeks when the Monaco Grand Prix took place which was also marked by a very spectacular accident during Karl Wendlingler's first practice session, unfortunately it is one of the dramatic events that marked my adolescence when I was just going to see a touring race on the Dijon circuit in 1996 I had this apprehension and I necessarily thought about it again at the terrible weekend
7:50 is really sad when you see Senna alive, but you know some minutes after occurs a tragedy. Senna is a true Legend
Last moments 😢
Christ Almighty. I just followed your hyperlink. It's truly so haunting. If only we could stop him there and speak to him.
These videos really do give us a very unique window into that absolutely terrible weekend. I was only 2 years old at the time, so being able to see this footage is as close as I'll ever get to seeing what it must have been like to have been there.
You've made an incredible contribution to motorsport history, sir.
Thank you!
Thank you very much for this.I saw this live on Tv back then...a sad day for me.
i hope you have a lot of safetycopys!!!!
this is pure Gold!
Thank you for sharing this historical footage. Back in 1994, I was a kid that used to spend the Sunday with my family just to watch Senna. He was our biggest idol, our hero. You can not understand what Senna meant to the Brazilian people. At that time, we were a young democracy. After years struggling with a huge economic crisis, we started to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Senna meant hope. For a long time, however, our hope died with Senna on that sad day. From that May 1st, our Sundays were never the same again…
I hope the video not only brings you sadness...
Yes I actually remember that race, it was very exciting.
Then football gave Brazil that hope again. And the rest is history.
This is a piece of History.
16:15 - Berger running here and there, probably to get information about Senna's health. True friend until the end.
Nope. Some technical problem
RIP Roland and Ayrton. These times were dangerous, but that was the real F1, the best driver's in the best cars. V8, V10 and V12 together. Missing that times. Today F1 is a technical kindergarten.
I am Argentinian and I hated Ayrton because I thought I would reach Fangio's record. When I saw the accident on television I knew that I would never see him again in a race. First I felt respect for the tremendous sportsman he was. And then I felt very sorry. I feel fortunate to have lived in the days of Ayrton Senna, the best racing driver of all time. Greetings Ayrton, my admiration and affection forever.
do you know that Fangio and Ayrton was close friend right ?
I disliked or didn't follow Senna because it was all about Ferrari, but now respect him the fullest. Legend.
@@nessuno5403 ? Ayrton never drove for Ferrari.....he was going to sign for them in 1997. He was on a 3 year contract at Williams and would likely have left for Ferrari at the end of that deal. It was widely felt back then that he would go to Ferrari as soon as he was available.
Anthony Peros I only found this out many YEARS after so for as long as he drove for others, he was a "rival", but not in any hateful sense :)
I know how it is.
Argentines = They hate everyone except the Spaniards.
Spaniards = Hate Argentines.
It doesn't just take me back to the life of an incredible man and an incredible generation of drivers in the golden age of Formula 1, it also takes me back to my tiny flat with my aunts in the mid-90s' when the world was still innocent and Blair hadn't wrecked our country. It is shocking how much this video feels like time travelling. I still remember my aunt's gasp that weekend. She was sitting at the dinner table eating lunch when the terrible news came on. Thank you so much for this. I'm so moved.
this is the best f1 i have ever seen mate!!!!!
it haunts me to this day, as i was 14 at the time and was happy that Senna was out and being scottish i allways want the underdog to win,
even if they are english!!!!
trust me i was not happy a few seconds later, I was in tears
Ayrton Senna, you are the best of all time mate
Thank you for appreciating my video! 😊
I have only just discovered this gem of a video. I was 25 when seeing this race on the BBC, and I remember the sad events of this race. What I also recall was Ayrton speaking with Murray Walker about safety issues at Imola on the Saturday before the race. I was - and still am - a McLaren fan, but with a soft spot for Williams, wanted Senna to win this race.
This and the previous video of your visit to Imola is excellent from a fan's point of view and I loved it. Aside from the awful events of that weekend, the grid girls, insane pit lane speeds and the sound of those normally-aspirated 3.5 litre V8, V10 and V12 engines - especially the Ferrari 412 T1 - are such nice memories. Thanks for sharing this video.
I was there too that day!I was in Tosa corner....what an emotion when I saw the ticket in your video. Ayrton Senna FOREVER!
Thank you for sharing without logos and other stuff on the video. This raw, unedited video is one of the best.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm brazilian and I was a child when Senna died. I was a huge fan of him. Senna was and still is a hero for us in Brazil.
I just can believe this footage is real. Its so iconic the things you see in this video its just like a dream.
17:02 I recognized that Williams mechanic sat on the official broadcast, and also on the Senna movie if I’m not wrong. What an horrific atmosphere. Thank you for sharing this.
SIM É MESMO 17:02
This video gave me goosebumps, I was 1 year old when this happened, but my dad always told me who he was and how he was, that he drove with passion, and was the best of all. When he told me that senna talked with god when he was racing, its not something common to hear, and then you realize how special he was. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I think I might have seen every single video of senna's racing life, but I was wrong, this video was missing, thank you so much again, for this quality video.
Thank you for sharing your footage Thomas!
In 1994 I was 8 years old and Senna was already my idol. After his death I spent a week without speaking because of the sadness I felt.
Till this day I remember that day and a tear drops on me. I'll always remember Senna like a great human being and a biggest Champion in F1.
Through the years I adopt his philosophy of life to mine. Today I'm 32 and Senna is still my idol and he's always be in my mind and heart. Forever.
The unforgettable Ayrton Senna :)
Greatings from Argentina
Thank you for appreciating my video! I will never forget this weekend, usually attending a formula 1 race fills you with excitement, joy and happiness, I will never forget the empty feeling I felt after this race weekend.
Thanks indeed Thomas for this priceless historical footage of such a tragic day in sporting history. Please help me understand something though: I was watching the race that day and seem to remember pretty clearly that Ayrton was evacuated straight from Tamburello by helicopter. So who are we seeing being rushed off on a stretcher? Some comments here suggest that was Ayrton, but it wasn't, right?
That is the injured mechanics who was hit when Michele Alboreto came in for a pit stop, but as he left, the rear-right wheel came loose from the Minardi as it left the pit lane, striking two Ferrari and two Lotus mechanics
Thanks!
+ Matias Sera, same here 01/05/94 is one of the few days I still vividly remember from my childhood. Was crying a lot too the week afterwards as I was a huge Senna fan (and still am).
Wow fantastic video!!!!!! a great witness of what f1 was at those days and what were the feelings during the crash that changed this sport. And by the fact to be italian, I can understand what the spectators said and felt that 1st may 1994......one of the best videos for a f1 fan, Thanks a lot man!!!!!!
Thank you for appreciating my video.
Alessandro Tomasini I'm drawling a 48x60 canvas of Ayrton this past month. Still to his day he's the greatest
@ thanks for the upload. It was a tragic but historic event. It seems shocking that they just kept racing even after the death of 2 drivers.. just wondering what it was like after senna crashed, did people realise the gravity of the situation. It's amazing getting a first hand account..
11:56 😔😢😞
Wonderful footage. If you put the sad events away, it is really exciting to watch. The first race lap, Ferrari V12, Benetton V8, McLaren V10... and it is properly loud with a great sound.
Thank you for capturing this historic moment and may Senna and Ratzenberger never be forgotten.
This video is a historical treasure.
Thank you so much for sharing it with your fellow F1 fans.
What a sad day for motorsports.
R.I.P. The Master, Ayrton Senna da Silva
Thank you for appreciating the video.
My many thanks for sharing this historical and sad moment of the F1.. Greetings from Brazil !
#sennalive #sennaforever #ratzenbergerlive #ratzenbergerforever
Your hashtag about Ratzenberger pierced my heart... the saddest part of this week end is that Ratzenberger's death was overshadowed by Senna's.
Awesome footage, even with the sadness, it's a historic piece
Historic footage indeed. Thanks for posting - the sound at the start was just incredible.
What an incredible video. One of the saddest days in F1 history. Some great footage. The good old days...
Thank you Thomas, your video is so precious to me. As a super Senna's fan from China, I was always searching any footage which can bring me back to that sad sad day, I just want to build more connections with the man in feeling, imagine that he is still so alive. I was 7 years old in 1994, and Senna is still the most legendary sports man in my heart.
Thanks again for this precious footage. RIP my hero Senna...
Thank you for appreciating my video.
Great video, thank you so much!!! I´m from Brazil, but Senna doesn´t belongs to one single country, he belongs to all his fans around the Globle, SENNA is beyond countries borders.
Цял свят плака за него.И още плачем.❤
Valeu pela postagem, uma viagem no tempo, foi um dia muito triste.
I didn't even know they held a Porsche race there too! Great, great footage...
Porsche Supercup :)
Is still being held today.
Your videos about Ayrton and Roland are definitely the most impressionable. I'm even slightly shocked. Listen to me, man... I thank you very much for these videos. Thank you, Thomas so much...
Thanks from Spain Thomas.
It is a new point of view of one of the most tragic days of F1.
Ayrton and Roland in our memory.
Sergi N Thank you for appreciating my video.
7:40 AYRTON!!!
This footage is priceless. Thank you for sharing, you have touched more lives than you can imagine.
Great video, there are plenty of them around, but one with the view from a spectator is always special, as it captures the real atmosphere of the day. You are among the few people who witnessed the last big tragedy of the F1. Thanks for sharing it
Thank you for appreciating my video.
SENNA forever !! Thank you !!
Thomas: Thank you so much for uploading theese videos. Senna is still very important here in Brazil, and everybody here remembers clearly what was doing on that sad day. The mourning days that followed his death were felt so intensely by all brazillians, and his funeral is still an intense memory for everyone. Once again: thank you so much for this video!
Obrigado apreciar o meu vídeo
Thanks a lot for this piece of history.....I forgot the sound of these machines and felt the same enthusiasm and at the same time this incredible sad feeling as 25 years ago as if it had just happened yesterday ...
I first started watching F1 in 1984. I remember watching the race at Monaco that season as a youngster and I was thinking ' who is this bloke who's pushing Prost so hard for the victory? '. In a Toleman as well!! That was the first time I saw Senna racing. We didn't know then how great he would become, although you could see how much talent he had. He would show us in the next couple of years how great he was, when he was driving for Lotus.
+Thomas Grønvold
Hi Thomas, I'm from Brazil! I was 4 year old in this day and I still remember what happened in that May 1st. I was watching the race and taking my breakfast with my father as we always did at Sundays of F1 race, we were excited watching Senna's leading the race, but suddenly the crash. I not able finished my breakfast that day, I asked several times to my father if Senna wasn't hurted and he always answered me "I don't know!". But when i saw my father crying, i knew what happened. This crash stoped our country. No one did not want to believe that Senna died. The entire country was sad. It was a huge loss for us.
Your video is amazing, we can see other perspective of what happens that weekend. Thanks to share it with us. Your video has a huge historical value!
Thank you for appreciating my video! :-)
Incredible, rare, historic footage from the videos you have posted Thomas, almost 23 years ago and the time has flown by so quick since that tragic weekend. I remember watching the race live on the BBC, but seeing this footage has added a different perspective to what happened that weekend. This may well be the last footage we will ever see that was recorded by a fan from that weekend, unless there is more out there that may come to light in the future. Thanks for posting.
Tank you for appreciating my video!
Thomas, I can only say... THANK YOU!!!
Cheers from Mexico. 👍
Día muy triste para la f1, Dios tenga en sus manos a Ayrton Senna y Roland Ratzenberger... Gracias Thomas Grønvold por tu aporte a la historia del automovilismo ( Very sad day for the F1, God have in his hands Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger ... Thanks Thomas Grønvold for your contribution to the history of motorsport)
Gracias!
A wonderful piece of our motorsport history. Still an incredible sad and horrible weekend which I will never forget.
I’d have happily paid money to buy this on DVD or Blu Ray! It’s a real insight to what happened on the other side of the track that day.
Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Thanks for sharing. I was 7 in 1994 and 1st May is my birthday, so the fact that Senna died on my birthday still leaves a bitter tastes :( I didnt fully understand but after not long I twigged that Ayrton wasnt alright and was fatally injured. I watched it live with my family on BBC. Afterwards we went out just to get away from it all but it was a very sombre mood, me sitting in a cafe, sipping a milkshake with tear filled eyes thinking I bet he's dead, and sure enough he was :( such a sad way to go.
Sparki Dee I was watching too and believed he was just badly injured especially after that moment his head moved while still in the cockpit. How wrong :( Your bday will always be linked to a legend
Hi Thomas, I'm from Egypt..and i still remember the news of Ayrton death in our tv News..i was 9 years old and i saw on tv people in brazillian streets crying..so i asked my grandma what's going on?? she told me the world champ in moto racing from Brazil died in accident while racing..look they all cry for him...i'm really huge fan of Ayrton Senna and he is an idol for me :( Rest in Peace legend..and thanx for this footage Thomas it makes me feel that i was in it.
Thank you for appreciating my video.
Those engines sounded just perfect. So sharp and fast. I love your video
Apart from all the sadness we felt after this weekend, manty thanks for posting such great material from unforgettable and long gone days of F1. You compare the atmosphere and excitment felt in places like Imola to the current F1 and makes me sick thinking how little by little they have destroyed the sport, until this complicated mess we have today.
Marta Perandones Martínez amen!
Despite being very emotional to watch thank you so much for sharing
lembranças e mais lembranças do nosso eterno campeão #sennasempre
Os melhores roncos da F1... sem sombra de dúvida....
Thank you so much from Russia for this video. Senna Sempre 🏎
Great video, extraordinary! It's really moving.. Thanks a lot! Ayrton always in our hearts
You're very lucky Thomas you see Ayrton Senna live ! It was my dream to see Ayrton alive. But in Formula 1 I was first in 2004 Silverstone after ten years it was gone :(
Ayrton Senna do Brasil !
Thanks for the upload!
Farewell Ayrton 😢
Thanks for appreciating my video!
Wow man! As another guy told you, this is a historical record! In fact I came to watch your video cause it was published in the news here in Chile. I admired Senna, and I do until now. He was something like a hero driving, everybody expected him to win every race. And even though it was a tragical moment, I believe with that he became legend.
Saludos desde España ,gracias Thomas por subir el video,Senna unico eterno el mejor siempre
graças a eles apreciam vídeo.
What a video, thanks so much! I'm blown away!!
Thank you!
What a footage.. it is a documentary that I really thank you for sharing. You know.. we fans of Formula 1 keep searching for details of specific races. This in particular is one that we don't find much to show what happened and you captured very important details, like the nervous feeling of Berger and the crash of Lami over Lehto. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for appreciating my video. :-)
gracias por subir el vídeo Thomas, una joya para TH-cam más en mi lista
These footages are amazing despite the fact it was a tragic weekend.
Thanks for this piece of motorsport history
Thank you for appreciating my video.
Thanks a lot for posting this video.
Thank you for appreciating the video.
thank u for sharing thomas,01/05/94 was a sad day for me Ayrton was a wonderfull sportman
Tank you for appreciating the video. It was a tragic weekend, and two people were unfortunately ripped away from family, friends and fans during that weekend.
I'M crying...really really thank you......I was in Imola in 1993 and 1995..... just photo...never video........Fantastic memory...sound...Ayrton....Amazing
Fico triste ao lembrar desse dia :'(
Yet, I miss that age.
I was watching that race with my Dad here in Argentina. I was 16 years old and to this day, I remember that whole fatidical weekend as it was yesterday. Awesome video, my man! Thank you for sharing it! Cheers!
Thank you for appreciating the video.
Thanks for sharing this from the point of view of a spectator. That day I couldn't watch the race on TV live so set my video recorder to record the BBC coverage. I still have that video to this day. A sad sad weekend for motorsport.
Thanks a lot for sharing this video, this is a kind of footage i was waiting too see a long time ago.
I wish there are more amateur footage of that weekend and i hope one day they will be released like you Thomas do.
Thank you!
A great video of historical significance, thankyou. It feels like only yesterday that Ayrton passed on our screens May 1st 1994. Despite Schumacher's Benetton having illegal traction control, causing Senna to set his car's ride height ever lower, eventually grounding out and literally taking off onto the grass/tamburello wall, we must remember that this was a mark of the man. Senna was a ten tenths kind of guy, and only had a fixation upon flat out ultimate performance. Either way he could have died that day in the blink of an eye, with or without Schumacher hot in pursuit. As the Williams skipped right across the track and onto the grass, he was a mere passenger. He tried to react but to no avail. He died doing something he loved, in his prime, on a beautiful day, as a hero. This is the only solace from his untimely death. A true widow maker in every sense, the passive FW16 had no right to lead Schumacher at all that season, confirming what we already knew; Senna was a genius.
Leon Leon waste of too many words.
please dont write this shits under this awesome video!
Thanks for sharing your point of view of this historical sad day, dear Thomas.
Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you for uploading this. I know the work you must have put in to get this digital from a VHS. I was 13 at the time of Senna's crash.
You had great seats in the grandstand! ❤
This is a masterpiece of video filming and editing considering the video format at that time . Congrats ! you catched everything of that horrible sunday May 1st
Thank you!😊
Watching this on his Birthday is probally the best way of celebrate his life.
Well done dude, thanks for the video.
Tank you for appreciating the video.
Amazing footage. I thank you from USA 🇺🇸. I was watching Dale Earnhardt footage from 2001 and this showed up. Wow a FANTASTIC job capturing pretty much everything that weekend.
@@Leigh3420 thank you for your kind words.
Poor Berger. He is a great guy
Thank you for this footage!
Thank you for appreciating my video.
Is this the original video? If so congratulations and thanks for sharing. I was watching that race from Montevideo Uruguay. Sad sad day.
Thank You! Yes this is the original video material, The first video I uploaded was this th-cam.com/video/ZXK71w2N_t8/w-d-xo.html
Unfortunately a lot of people copies copyrighted material, and other peoples work. I filmed it and finally uploaded the material.
Muy buen aporte. Una pieza valiosa de uno de los días mas tristes y oscuros de la Formula 1: La muerte de el legendario Senna: Un grande dentro y fuera de las pistas :(
This is the best footage ive ever seen. Thank you so much and well done, must of had a top notch camera.
I know hey I agree! Can’t believe this is 1994 footage and Thomas really did a fantastic job of editing and keeping the camera steady and I’m not a race car fan but now I might become one. Great footage!
Thanks for sharing!
Damn man, thank you very much for sharing your video. To be honest when I readed the final message I was touched. (I'm English learner I hope you understand what I mean) Thank you again.
Still so sad and heartbreaking. I cried my eyes out especially for his fellow Brazilians. Greatest F1 pilot ever, but even a better person.
Wow!! What a video...thanks for sharing!! Greetings from emerald isle 😁
Wow! best recording ever! Recording from 1994! this video talk about ayrton senna!
13:19 that red line... 😋
This video makes part of the history,save this 4life bro....
thank you for sharing this Thomas
Thank you for appreciating my video.
Gran video, gracias por compartir esto con todos aquellos que amamos a Senna como piloto y como persona..
Gracias!
Fantastic video! Today is May first. Senna dead 23 years ago today. Thank you for sharing the video for us. Hugs.

Thank you for appreciating my video.
Incontournable et incroyable de retrouver ces vidéos
The large respect for your video from Russia
go to the racetrack and see Senna, Prost, Berger and other pilots is priceless, you're a lucky guy.
ps: you called the Berger and he gave you attention . *-----*
Senna the king of tracks
That sound!
Yes, not like today...
The Lamy/Letho incident looks fairly minor from this angle. Also, huge jump-start from whoever was 5th on the second start!
I think that's a Tyrrell. Katayama, probably.
very nice video!
Thank you Thomas.
Thank you for appreciating the video.
