Ratzenberger's crash was his own fault, and Senna, well the car failed him. I think it's pretty obvious. Remember we didn't just lose 2 amazing drivers, but also an amazing circuit.
@@timyo6288 Ratzenberger's fatal accident in Qualifying was caused by a front wing failure on the Simtek prior to entering the Villeneuve corner and hit the wall in excess of 185 mph leading into Tosa.
its so weird seeing those interviews and thinking how different what is ahead of those two... senna was in the last few hours of his life and schumacher was about to go and win 7 world championships and still be racing 17 years later
If Ayrton hadn't have been killed, he would've closed the gap so quickly from the B spec car here from Europe onwards. He qualified over 4 tenths/second from Schui on this track. He would've dominated 1994,'95-'96, and '97 and that's 8 championships... Schui would've only then had 3. I think most of the money-sponsors would've gone Williams F1 way rather than Beneton/Ferrari and as a consequence would've made Schumacher (Beneton/Ferarri) much less dominant... Schui-v Good, Senna the v Best !
@Redbird1XXX Had the wall been right at the tracks edge, the car would most likely stop right on the middle of the track. And Tamburello was basically a blind corner, you come around it only to find a car stranded in the middle of the track, and you run straight into it. I'm telling you, tyrebarriers and a wide runoff area would have been the absolute safest alternative.
@IExposeMormonism There is a documentary around here (or was at least) where they clearly show what happened. He did steer into the slide, but the front wheels did not have enough grip, hence the car went straight forward into the wall.
God it was awful. Senna was really upset about Ratzenburger (sorry if that's spelt wrong) and worried and the doctor Sid Watkins(RIP) was his friend.. he tried to talk him out of it. He didn't listen. We lost him.
@YouthEnergy When Ratzenberger's his front wing failed, he hit the concrete wall head on, and with the safety regulations in those days, he had very little chance of surviving that crash. Senna however I think would have walked away from his crash had a suspension arm not pierced his helmet. He hit the wall at an angle, a far less impact than what Ratzenberger suffered. But I agree, this race weekend alone, forced everyone to act on F1 Safety and in the end, it was certainly needed.
@YouthEnergy 100% agree. And to be honest, even tyre barriers with the rubber 'conveyor belts' along them would've given Ayrton a better chance. As for the layout, other fast circuits have been subject to chicane treatment too - Osterreichring for example. Hermann Tilke got his mits on it, and instead of improving the run off and upgrading safety barriers etc, he castrated it into a shadow of it's former self.
Senna looks tired here and seems to have no enthusiasm . i think this was filmed before all the terrible events unfolded. I think he seems jaded. Anyone else agree ?
It is wrong. Interview was before Razenberger's death. Senna is not mentally fine from other reasons: problems with his girlfriend, bad start of the season etc.
@YouthEnergy I agree....It's one of those corners that separates the Men from the Boys. Imagine SENNA did not perish; Williams produced some of the most dominating chasis in the mid 90's.... think especially of the 96-97 williams-renault cars!!! Senna would probably have the most championships if not, equal to, Michael Schumacher....
The wall wasn't a problem. Senna didn't have a single injury over his body from the impact itself. The car absorbed the force of the impact perfectly well and he wasn't even bruised. It was the weird coincidence in which the wheel and suspension crumbled in such an angle as to hit his helmet. It was more the lack of side protection of the cockpits than anything else. Same with Ratzenberger, his head hit the wall, but the car absorbed the impact well enough.
@YouthEnergy I agree with you, but it would be impossible to make a wider runoff area at tosa. At tamburello ok (and yet they would have to build a floor over a river that passes by its side), but not at tosa.
@YouthEnergy your so right. corners are only made dangerous my lack of runoff space. i wish they would just extend the runoff areas instead of murdering race tracks.
@YouthEnergy Runoff/tyres wouldn't have saved Senna - i.e. the wall did not kill him. It was just pure chance to get hit by debris. Ratzenberger - different story. Tyres may have saved him. But it was the shape of the wall that was so dangerous; it was at a sharper angle than necessary to the track. It would have been safer to have the wall run along with the track. Instead, there was a bit of runoff, which actually increased the angle of the wall to the track. Crazy stuff.
@fdsaman123 Tyres would have saved Senna, because when you hit a tyrewall the debris doesn't spread as much. The debris would have probably contained itself within the tyres.
@leturbo5GT They probably didnt do all that much PR work back then, now days drivers have to do countless PR events for sponsors + many interviews for their home country as well as ones at the track and for tv etc.
No there not packing up and going home Mr Palmer. Thats because money spoke louder than adhering to Italian Law which states if a person is killed during a sporting event (Ratzenburger) then the event is stopped.
People in this clip dont' appear to feel particulary stressed over the fact that one of their co-drivers died in qualifying the day before... But of course, Senna was more famous...
The cloud of suspicion will always taint the career of Schumacher . It is unfortunate that he was under the influence of the likes of flavio for the F1 sport suffered much controversy whilst he was present. Still to this day many of us remember Senna , I am not convinced that can be said for the others
@JRRacing85 What does it matter if it was 18 years ago or 81 years ago?? I don't get your point. Let me ask you, if 18 years after his last Tour de France victory, Lance Armstrong came out and said he took drugs to win would you say it's irrelevant because it's so long ago?
Απάντηση σε αυτό το βίντεο... Ok, now it makes sense, because Hakkinen has never been a dirty driver and this move made me wonder whether he did it on purpose or not...
How fucking ignorent could FIA be this weekend. When one guy hammerd off and died, they took no precautions. The board must have been drunk on Fosters. Senna should have boycut' the race by driving into the garage, like in the US Grandprix in 05. Makes me angry everytime.
I Hate you san marino a hate you imola and Bolonya and tamburello curva I MISS YOU AYRTON SENNA FOREVER,SENNA GREAT GREAT GREAT PILOT FOREVER............................GREAT NUMBE ONE.
Eu acho que não ele de uma entrevista falando do campeonato mundial e da dificuldade do carro depois do o que Viu um dia antes aliás um dois dias antes ele do até a área lá da pista e Viu que tinha segurança nem um aparte da pista ali bem perto da Tamburello e na saída dela ver que não tinha muros de pneus e a caixa de brita que e a faz parte cada segurança da corrida se não estivesse retirado ratzeberge ele Senna estaria vivo talvez vivo não talvez não estaria vivo com certeza Viu essa e a verdade viu não. Ponha o nome de Deus no meio bom e isso mesmo o saudade viu acelera Ayrton
Vejam só o que é a lei de DEUS, a equipe WILLIAMS está em desgraça absoluta e MICHAEL SCHUMACHER, gastou tudo que ganhou na fórmula um, para conseguir se reabilitar, tanto a equipe WILLIAMS, como o piloto MICHAEL SCHUMACHER tiveram participação na falcatrua do sinistro acidente do SENNA, juntos com a FIA, é a vez da FIA vai chegar,a que se faz ,aqui se paga.Que DEUS tenha o nosso campeão AYRTON SENNA DA SILVA em ótimo lugar.
I don't think the track layout itself was dangerous. It was the runoff areas. Too small, and no tyrebarriers. Wider runoff areas and tyrebarriers would have saved Roland and Ayrton. I personally think they ruined the Imola track with the chicanes.
YouthEnergy, I totally concur with you with your assessment, putting in chicanes was a knee jerk reaction by Mad Max Mosley. Look what we have now, Herman Tilke shit circuits, chicanes over the place, pretty soon the buffoon Tilke will put in roundabouts every fifty yards to ruin what used to be the best racing series in the world.
I get so tired of people taking about run-off area's when it comes to Formula 1. Yah if you can afford a thousand feet of realstate outside of a corner like Tambarillo then of course run off would always be the choice. But how far is the run-off area at Indy?? Had there been a wall right at tracks edge I think that Senna would still be here today. Although a hell of a hit, It would have been slightly more of a glancing blow. Not to different than many accidents at ovals like Indy.
Chilling to see Ayrton in an interview on the weekend of his death. Obviously, there was now way of knowing what would happen at the time, but it still somehow sends a cold shiver up my spine.
This is one of the last interviews Senna ever gave. That makes it particularly poignant. Palmer's comment that F1 s extremely professional is true, but neglects the fact that being professional means concern for safety. I would consider Nikki Lauda's coaxing drivers to retire en masse during a terrible storm to have been professional.
What I find amazing is that gravel pits that work so well at saving cars and drivers have gone thanks to my moto GP kin...the bikes don't do very well,and the cars were sorry the track of Europe where mainly a forgiving bunch of courses with gravel and plenty of run off,there was neither where senna went off but I hate to think it was a heartbreaking steering failure of all things,God that makes me sick,but its is done we can only learn from it.THANKS
Some one was nice enuf to post that in car with Michael,and wow u can see and hear. And feel how strong a car he has not good for any one he has best of handling and great power,and it sounded very durable as well,as if the car has plenty more but they are keeping it safe for reliability....pressure on everyone.
It was a wide myth in the 1994 season that the benetton was underpowered. This was categorically not the case, as proven by the dyno figures from Cosworth which showed that, in fact, the Ford-badged engine was at least an equal to the Renault output.
Senna and Schuey. We were robbed of an epic rivalry. RIP Ayrton. Keep Fighting Michael.
Michael cheated 1994
R.I.P. SENNA AND R.I.P. F1 1994
Your spot on. I have thought for many years that Formula 1 died the moment Senna died.
true!
We still missing him like always 😢
@@F1_Gianni_96 😏🥲😭
4:46 his smile at the end, heartbreaking :(
I had goosebumps every time I watched that brief clip throughout 1994.
4:48
As Walker starts to say .."You really do need..." watch how Senna looks straight to the camera. His eyes. Sadness.
Goosebumps
LEGENDS NEVER DIE .
"There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the circuit or any other safety standard around" ... sad. R.I.P. Roland and Ayrton.
There wasn't
Ratzenberger's crash was his own fault, and Senna, well the car failed him. I think it's pretty obvious.
Remember we didn't just lose 2 amazing drivers, but also an amazing circuit.

Ayrton, my heart is still broken
its so weird seeing those interviews and thinking how different what is ahead of those two... senna was in the last few hours of his life and schumacher was about to go and win 7 world championships and still be racing 17 years later
He's not racing no more buddy!
If Senna had lived he'd have won races in that car. They Were already on top of the problem. Just That damned steering column breaking..
There is no evidence the steering column broke during that accident. Quite the contrary.
16 Years today since the death of a legend R.I.P Ayrton Senna
30 years… 😢
O único piloto realmente abatido pela morte de Roland e o acidente de Barrichello era o Ayrton! #imolahumansacrifice
2:03
Murray: "Are you expecting the gap to close?"
Schumacher: "No, because we have traction control and Williams don't!"
Can't believe that 190mph blind corner, which had accidents before (Berger) that they had no tyre wall at least. Better than smashing off a brick wall
Denilson24 tand Piquet almost died there too at tamburello
The last race of Formula One's greatest driver. RIP Ayrton Senna.
Jonathan Palmer at 0:28 : " F1 is a very professional operation " lol !!!
If Ayrton hadn't have been killed, he would've closed the gap so quickly from the B spec car here from Europe onwards. He qualified over 4 tenths/second from Schui on this track. He would've dominated 1994,'95-'96, and '97 and that's 8 championships... Schui would've only then had 3. I think most of the money-sponsors would've gone Williams F1 way rather than Beneton/Ferrari and as a consequence would've made Schumacher (Beneton/Ferarri) much less dominant... Schui-v Good, Senna the v Best !
Yes man, Senna was murdered.
Ayrton knew..
Senna the number one forever

He didn't listen. We lost him.
thanks for putting this up
@YouthEnergy When Ratzenberger's his front wing failed, he hit the concrete wall head on, and with the safety regulations in those days, he had very little chance of surviving that crash.

He didnt have a suspension leg pierce his head, the impact wouldve killed him either way
@chouzouris It was an accident that Hakkinen later apologized from Senna.
4:45 .... :C .... how many i dream about world with ayrton :(((
We will never know.
In the Pacific GP Hakkinen clearly kicked Senna out of the race. What a dirty move this was..
It must be hard to think that they can talk about it so casually like any other weekend when this could happen again anytime :(
@YouthEnergy 100% agree. And to be honest, even tyre barriers with the rubber 'conveyor belts' along them would've given Ayrton a better chance. As for the layout, other fast circuits have been subject to chicane treatment too - Osterreichring for example. Hermann Tilke got his mits on it, and instead of improving the run off and upgrading safety barriers etc, he castrated it into a shadow of it's former self.
look at schumacher young wow
Senna looks tired here and seems to have no enthusiasm . i think this was filmed before all the terrible events unfolded. I think he seems jaded. Anyone else agree ?
In the interview it is obvious that Senna is not mentally fine. He is not himself after Razenberger's death
It is wrong. Interview was before Razenberger's death. Senna is not mentally fine from other reasons: problems with his girlfriend, bad start of the season etc.
Weird to see Brundle back as an F1 driver when I've got so used to seeing him as a Commentator/Pundit!
@YouthEnergy I agree....It's one of those corners that separates the Men from the Boys.

Nessa época a Benetton de Briatore/Schumacher estava mais fora de regulamento do que QQ outra equipe.
growing up with martin being a commentator. its weird seeing him as a driver
They never knew what hit them D: Watching this is very weird!
@leturbo5GT They probably didnt do all that much PR work back then, now days drivers have to do countless PR events for sponsors + many interviews for their home country as well as ones at the track and for tv etc.
5:06 Ayyaahh
@JohnnyMidnight1 I think it's the Magnificent Seven theme.
Keep fighting Michael
the Williams of 1994 season didn`t have that innovation that had had a year before, because of new rules accepting all teams be equal.
@YouthEnergy Couldn't agree more.
@speedo202 salt, you say okay, I also think like you, Senna legend than others ...
Please put the interview J.Palmer complete.
No there not packing up and going home Mr Palmer. Thats because money spoke louder than adhering to Italian Law which states if a person is killed during a sporting event (Ratzenburger) then the event is stopped.

damon hill talking is so damn funny!
Did her just say 4 miles per gallon
lol 5:04
Steve Rider: Damon Hill on row 2 whats the mood in the Williams camp?

The cloud of suspicion will always taint the career of Schumacher . It is unfortunate that he was under the influence of the likes of flavio for the F1 sport suffered much controversy whilst he was present.
Still to this day many of us remember Senna , I am not convinced that can be said for the others
Precisely! But know they've included the old tarmac so why not run F1 at Imola again.
the williams guy over damons shoulder doesnt seem impressed when he states ferrari have a fantastic engine.! funny!
AYRTON always live in heart, You are our champion, the world champion, champion Terms of planets, that has the largest cemionsan (BAKU Azerbaijan)
and the end of a terrible weekend!!!
@JRRacing85 What does it matter if it was 18 years ago or 81 years ago??

olha a diferença de semblantes. senna começou a morrer nos bastidores de San Marino

glad that they decided to change the circuit at imola after this disaster and miss f1 at imola

All nuked but same source is elsewhere
