Don't forget Roland Ratzenberger, he died the day before!

Imola circuit holds Senna silence

Thursday's commemorations began with a parade to remember both Senna and Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger, who died in qualifying on the same track a day earlier.

That was indeed a tragic week end for F1

It was a terrible weekend indeed, you had Barrichello on Friday flying into the wall of tires, Ratzenberger's fatal accident on Saturday's Qualification and Senna's fatal accident on Sunday.

Formula 1 owes these two a lot for the security measures taken to increase the survivability of the drivers in a terrible accident and for the last 20 years it paid off and hope it remains that way for years to come.

Yikes, 20 years already. Cripes.

Senna's and Ratzenberger's accidents and later Schumacher's lobbying and pressing are the reasons why Formula 1 today is one of the safest racing series out there. Seen that way, that black weekend at Imola was not in vein, and has probably saved the lives of many others.Two lives traded for the lives of many more others - fair deal. Saying so with good respect for the men.

"Fair deal"?

I take your point but I wonder if the two that are dead would agree
