The straights leading up to the corners are too short to build a decent tow, the corners are too narrow for the quicker driver behind to pose a genuine threat to the less quick driver ahead. The old Tamburello was ok, because the cars went practically full throttle from Variante Bassa to Tosa which was always good for overtaking (remember Pironi and Villeneuve in 1982 for instance), but that was ruined when Tamburello and Villeneuve were changed into mediocre chicanes.
So, with Senna, Imola died as well....
