Ayrton Senna da Silva
It has been 25 years since Ayrton Senna crashed fatally at Imola early in the Grand Prix. There was already a pall over the event after Roland Ratzenberger's fatal crash in practice the day before.

For reasons obvious to most, a day I will never forget.

I remember sitting up to watch the race that night.
This was pre-internet or live streaming or any of that stuff.. but was live on conventional teev nonetheless. Had seen most races on the box that year. Was kinda hoping the fella with the yellow crash hat would show that Williams a thing or two about how fast it could really go. And he did. Made it go faster than it probably deserved. Manhandled it. Everywhere. Until he didn't. Simply the best. Can't believe its 25 years ago now. |
