The Brazilian died after a crash at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
Bernie Ecclestone has revealed he was told Formula One would be cancelled in the wake of Ayrton Senna’s death.
“If you think about all the things that happened, with Roland crashing and never getting out of his car, and then Senna, I really don’t think it would be possible for it to happen again.“Max said to me afterwards that he believed it would be the end of Formula One. I said, ‘I think you are wrong and we will have to see’.
However, the race restarted less than 40 minutes later with Michael Schumacher winning. Damon Hill, in the other Williams, crossed the line in sixth, two places ahead of Martin Brundle. “When these things happen, they all happen so quickly that you don’t really have that much time to think. Legally, it should have been stopped, because we now know he died at the circuit.
