At the time of Senna's death the suspension was made of steel (or a metal in any case) And what killed him, was not the wall, or the speed differential of the accident, but the suspension hitting him in the head.
Today suspension is made from carbon firbre (I think) and is designed to shatter in the event of a crash like that.
Imola didn't really have much choice but to alter that corner, because to landscape past the stream would have been too expensive.

The A1 Ring wasn't a patch on the old track, but it was a excellent race track.

Brands did hold the deal to host the British Grandprix, polictics destroyed it. But to upgrade to modern F1 standards would have completely destroyed the soul and character of the Brands Hatch track. Lots of trees would have bitten the dust. And although the new Hockenhiem can produce some good races, Many of pine after the old flat stretch through the forrest.
