Senna Memorial



The Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari di Imola will be remembered for the tragic incidents surrounding the San Marino Grand Prix on the 29 April to 1 May 1994 when two drivers lost their lives and changed motorsport.  On Saturday 30 April Austrian Roland Ratzenberger was killed and the following day three times world champion Ayrton Senna lost his life when his Williams went straight on at the first corner and hit the wall.


Twenty one years later people still travel to Imola to pay their respects and remember what happened in 1994.  On the outside of Tamburello, which was reprofiled as a chicane after the accident, people have left tokens of respect at the spot where Senna’s car impacted the wall.  Most have faded and are worn but they serve as a memorial to one of the sport’s greatest drivers.

This is the third year I have made the trip down to the first corner just to pay my respects to Ayrton Senna and also remember Roland Ratzenberger.
