Imola '94: The fallout and lasting legacy (Part 3)
And Colossally That's History! - A podcast by The Race Media - Thursdays
Categories:
Matt Bishop (journalist, editor, novelist and PR) and Richard Williams (journalist, author and broadcaster) are here to reappraise the past - and they'd love to have you along for the ride! In the final episode of our trilogy marking the 30th anniversary of the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at Imola, Matt and Richard look at the fallout and lasting legacy of F1's so-called blackest weekend, when both Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna were killed in action. They discuss what happened at the next race on the calendar, in Monaco, when a crash in practice raised anxiety levels yet further, and left poor Karl Wendlinger in a coma. They also reflect on the safety changes made in the wake of Imola, both immediately (to cars and circuits) and in the long term. Also, Richard reflects on attending the inquest into Senna's death in Italy, before he and Matt assess how Williams and Damon Hill were impacted by - and reacted to - the terrible Imola accident.
