Ayrton Senna's tragic Imola accident was remembered by Adrian Newey in his own book...
Adrian Newey put his feelings into words when recounting the tragic accident that claimed the life of three-time F1 World Champion Ayrton Senna .
The change from active to passive suspension proved a particularly big hurdle, and the 1994 car proved an unstable machine at the start of the season. But, before Williams could hone it into the more malleable and pleasant driving experience it would become, Senna would die in a crash at Imola – the exact reason for the crash has never been fully confirmed.“Frank idolised him, and with good reason: not only was he one of the all-time special drivers but he had a certain aura about him,” he said.
“Another thing I remember, something burnt into my brain, is the noise from the spectators,” he said. Having carried out tests that proved the steering column had not failed prior to the impact experienced by Senna, Newey explained where he felt he and Williams hadn’t done a good enough job. “You question yourself. If you don’t, you’re a fool.
