Comments

We’ll perhaps never know whether the accident was caused by driver error or steering-column failure. For a Formula 1 driver ruthlessly dedicated to the pursuit of winning, he had a mature appreciation of race craft, a capability to show immense self-control at moments of maximum stress, and an intuitive feel for the mechanics of his car. For the thousands who witnessed his race track style – an elegant smoothness with a hint of robust rawness when circumstance demanded – the notion of error in his judgement is unpalatable. Nevertheless, there were conflicting forces at work in his life at the time, enough perhaps to ‘burr the impeccable machining’ of his driving career.

Whatever the reason, Ayrton Senna would suffer fatal head injuries in a crash at the 190 mph Tamburello corner of the Imola circuit on 1 May 1994. What followed was a period of national mourning in his native Brazil, and a sense of profound loss amongst motor racing enthusiasts for a man who will remembered alongside the golden handful of Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark and Michael Schumacher, as a motor racing driver who entirely mastered his art.
