Great job, Ayrton.

He won so far.

Guy's undrivable, Frank.

You know, our car wasn't built for this new regulation.

We're gonna need some time.

I know that.

I still haven't scored a single point this year.

No, Andrew, I haven't spoken to him yet.

Well, he's not exactly been available to me since I wrote that article.

I know it was years ago, but...

Well, if the retired Frenchman can manage seven wins with the magic carpet,

Senna would have won all 16 races last year for sure.

I'll call you back.

OK.

Don't worry, Laura, I don't completely disagree with you.

But still, I won seven races and the championship against Senna.

Something, no?

Sure.

So, how do you think this retired Frenchman is doing on your side of the paddock?

Promising.

Very good.

Hey, Chief.

Hey, Hobies.

How's it going?

Man, good luck.

Well, I mean, could have been better.

Guy isn't helping at all.

Track even less.

Like rally racing, right, Chief?

Yeah, it's tough.

Hey, good luck.

I want to see you steal my pole.

Hands still scraping against the cockpit.

You left McLaren and joined Williams to win the championship.

But Williams isn't the winning outfit you hoped it would be.

Is this an interview?

I'm writing an article about you.

About your career.

Starting with go-karts.

Good place to start.

But why waste your time talking about a bad example?

I grew up listening to the roar of the engines in Norfolk.

I can tell when you're on the track.

You

heard the report?

The regulation was revamped.

Electronic driver aids are no longer allowed.

To hurt your chances?

No.

It affects everybody in the same way.

Even Benetton?

Your rival has it and you don't.

That makes the race unfair.

Yeah, but it's not a matter of losing or winning.

But you are losing.

But it's not about me.

Electronic aids don't just increase speed, they improve safety.

And that's fundamental, especially on a

track like this, irregular, with no run-offs.

The risk is too big.

And yet you keep racing.

I want to be the champion.

20 points behind.

There's always the next race.

We still don't have any updates about Rubens Barrichello's condition.

Jordan's Brazilian driver is currently being

treated by Chief F1 medic Sid Watkins and his team.

Where's Rubens?

Sid!

Hello, Chief.

How do you feel, Rubens?

I try to take the Varianci boss in fifth.

Bad call.

It wasn't your fault.

He'll be fine.

Luckily, the Brazilian driver didn't suffer any more severe injuries.

It is the last day of practice here at Imola.

The drivers have one last chance to secure.

..

Is Nicky good?

No.

Hey, Anthony.

You're expecting Rubens?

Yes.

He's in shock, but he'll be okay.

That's a good news.

Are you going to race tomorrow?

No.

We're all pretty shaken up.

Still, everybody's working like nothing happened.

It's part of the show, isn't it?

Remember when Berger crashed here at Tamburello?

He caught on fire.

Well, back then, did they cancel the race?

No.

What about when Donnelly crashed a few years ago?

No.

When Nicky almost died?

You know what it is, mate.

There'll still be a race tomorrow.

Of course.

Because we're the ones going out on the track, not them.

Yeah, and I'm actually paying to race.

It's not cheap.

Well, I've got to go.

We need to find Nicky.

See you.

Did you notice the track?

The asphalt is shit.

The only resurface before the corners.

Yes.

And they will end up blaming Rubens.

Even with the curbs as high as they are.

Nicky.

We need to re-establish the Drivers' Association.

If we do, you should be president.

A result of politicians making stupid decisions.

You said so yourself at the press conference in Suzuka.

Ayrton, you are a man of action.

You don't bullshit people.

What about you in 7.6?

You gave up the race after the first lap?

After what I had gone through that year?

No, no, no.

Why risk my life for a title, hm?

Sometimes we are the ones who have to decide to race or not.

Not them.

I have never regretted it.

Thank you.

Been on this for a month.

Doesn't make sense that we haven't got a good setup yet.

You're working with the data from Interlagos and Apoyama, right?

Yeah.

If we go on with this change, every gain we have

on balance will be a loss we have on downforce.

Frank, give me balance.

I'll do the rest.

They'll still be slow on the corners.

The car is too unpredictable.

It might spin out again, like it did in Brazil.

And if I don't finish the race, that's as low as you can get.

It's gonna work.

Okay, let's do it.

Oh my goodness!

What a horrific MTB!

A Roland Bratzenberger seems to have lost its rear wing at the BMW corner.

It crashed at full speed.

It's down to silent here in Inverland.

Since that car is completely destroyed.

It's not importantly important how fast or slow it is.

But definitely that car does not have a well-draft car like much others.

Well, if I'm not reporting it back and do the first preliminary

check-up already at the Clown, I don't have a focus on it.

Frankly,

you can do it pretty fine.

I mean, I think a horse knows it's ergonomic to have

fun at best, but a mobile car, it's taylor money.

I harshly doubt and believe that even a top-of-the-line popular car can declyck it.

And it's yours, I suppose.

This is still my bloody team, Ed.

I'm not going back to the track today.

And I don't even know if I'm going to race tomorrow.

Did you see Ratzenberger?

Alright, that's it.

For today.

I need you to keep it under control at the driver's briefing tomorrow.

Galvan, I'm pretty sure every driver here is

feeling Ratzenberger suffering in their own body.

You know, Galvan, I just hope he's as lucky as I was.

That's right.

We still don't have any official information, but from what we saw,

the images of the accident, I mean, he's in critical condition.

As you know, Williams has already informed us they won't return to the track,

a decision which I'm sure was influenced by Sandler,

who went to the crash site representing the drivers.

Benetton's also out.

And I've just been informed that Benetton are also out.

Benetton has just announced they won't put their cars back on the track.

Schumacher and Santa, the two main championship contenders of the season,

leave their rivalry aside and won't be trying to better their qualifying time.

I was there in 82 when Villeneuve crashed.

Was there two?

It was an F2000.

I was a kid.

So the next day, I went to the track.

I didn't even consider giving up the race.

But what's happening here is wrong.

What happened with Rubens and Attenberger shouldn't happen anymore.

Everything is wrong.

The cars, the regulations, this track...

Nicky told me about re-establishing the drivers association.

Yeah, I know.

I talked to him.

He thinks I should be the president.

But it's not for me.

I thought of you.

I would have been a great president.

The best, even.

But, as always, boring old Nicky is right.

It has to be you.

You were just a kid when you started racing,

so now you know more about it than anyone else.

And look at what happened today, Ayrton.

You're the one that stopped the qualifying.

Now the federation wants to punish me.

Again.

Also, I'm 20 points behind on the championship.

I can't ignore that if I want to win.

Okay, but the fight with Schumacher is not that fair, is it?

No.

No.

The electronic aids.

The way they changed the rules was ridiculous.

Of course the cars were not built to run without electronics.

I don't think they know how dangerous it is.

They know.

They know.

You know, I raced all of last year with those electronic aids.

Of course back then they were within the regulations.

You would have had your chance this year.

But they pulled the magic carpet from under your feet.

They and you?

Me.

Yes.

If it hadn't been for your veto, I would have raced with you last year.

Come on, you know that.

I should have vetoed you back in 88 at McLaren as well.

You should come back, Alain.

It was always a pleasure to beat you in the races.

I really missed that.

No, no, I cannot come back.

I have a new job.

I have to say bad things about you on the television.

No, I want to...

I want to spend more time with my family now.

Everything has to end.

It's inevitable.

What about you?

What are your plans for after you retire?

I'm not retiring.

My sister is helping me to organize an institute focused on education.

Children in Brazil really need more opportunities.

So...

So you are a nice guy.

Just not so much to me.

I'll do everything I can to help you with the Drivers Association.

Thank you.

Time to go.

You guys are doing a great job.

Thank you.

Thanks.

They

are very good to me.

Who do you never forgot, when you were within Europe,each of you?

Ing etc.

Also young Afghan and Palestinian .當 there были ваши calciums,皆さん

I saw the crash on TV.

It was terrifying.

Try not to think too much about it, okay?

From here, I'm going straight to Lisbon.

As soon as I land, I'll get a car and meet you there.

Miss you.

See you tomorrow.

Bye, Adri.

Bye.

Adriani.

She's scared.

She already was with Rubinho's accident.

Imagine now.

Yeah, everyone's pretty worried.

What about you?

Will you race tomorrow?

I'm 34 now, Gavão.

Not a kid anymore.

Cannot stay quiet, pretending nothing happened.

You're not one to put your head in the sand.

Well, I'm going.

Uh-oh, the Brit's here.

Sniffing for news.

No, I don't have a room number for him.

I just wanted to leave that behind.

Good evening.

Please, can I have my key?

You don't give up, huh?

Nicky's talking.

Thanks.

Prego.

But I have one question.

To finish that piece on your career.

Just one.

The question's on the tape.

It's the first time I'm thinking of not racing.

Back when you started out at Doleman.

You said you only wanted to be Formula One champion.

And then you would quit.

I knew you wouldn't quit.

You have a need to race.

It's who you are.

But you're more than just that, son.

Much more.

Can you hear me?

Thanks, Mom.

Son?

Hey, Dad.

Were you listening?

I wanted to hear you, too.

How's the car?

We're...working on it.

Good.

Stay out of trouble, son.

Stay out of trouble, Dad.

Prego.

You're the best driver in the world.

You don't need to prove anything to anyone.

Do what you think is right.

Like you always have.

Good night.

Good night, Dad.

We're all...all...

deeply saddened by...

the situation we're in.

Dealing with a tragedy like this...

it isn't easy.

We've lost one of our own.

Roland Ratzenberger.

But all safety regulations have been met.

I can assure you of that.

Since I became president last year, we've

been making every effort to increase safety.

And important changes have been made.

But...

the risk...

is always there.

No one here is naive.

For better or worse, this... is our sport.

Look, I understand this is a delicate situation.

But we have to move on.

That's why we have therefore decided that today's race... will go ahead.

I believe this to be the correct decision under the circumstances.

I think it would be a mistake... to review rules and regulations...

without examining what happened... in depth.

Right.

Now, regarding the restart procedure... tracksuits and windows...

by the technician... who made exits...

We

both know that to be the truth.

Thanks.

I'll get you out.

Ed, how can I help you?

I know the risk is part of... motor racing.

But we should do everything we can... for safety.

And with these new rules... it's just... All the changes were approved...

by the teams and drivers last season.

Please, let me finish.

Please, we're not... in the briefing room anymore.

It's just me and you here.

Okay?

What do you want to happen?

The drivers need to be heard.

You have been.

No, we haven't.

Since Okoyama, we've been trying to tell you about the problems.

Since before, actually.

And how many accidents...

serious accidents happened during testing early this year.

Leto, Hill, Alessi, and now Barrichello and Ratzenberger.

You criticise the rules, but you're the one who keeps finding himself...

in breach of the regulations.

Now remember, you're under a suspended

two-race ban... for your behaviour last year.

So, what are you suggesting?

Postpone the race.

Cancel it, so that the death of a driver... is not forgotten.

The race is going to happen, Ayrton.

But no driver is forced to race.

These wounds...

they don't seem to heal.

They've become part of you.

I know.

The adjustments on the wheel made no fucking difference.

My hands are scraping against the side of the cockpit all the time.

I wish I could have done something for him.

Ayrton.

You've already saved one life out there.

Now, Comas is racing today...

because of what you did in 92.

And saving a life...

is an incredible thing.

You do it every day.

Regrettably not.

I've lost quite a few.

You're a three-time world champion.

And the fastest driver in Formula One.

What more do you need?

I tell you what.

Why don't we quit?

And go fishing?

Like we do on vacations.

We could go fishing or do anything else we want.

You'd have more time for your girl.

What do you think?

I can't quit, Sid.

If you can't stop, you better have a good reason to race.

You better

have a good reason to race.

When I started writing about your 30-year

career, I decided to start from the beginning.

With go-karting.

But now might actually be the time to question the present.

And look towards the future.

30 years after getting your first go-kart from your dad.

10 years in Formula One.

Three world championships.

Why do you keep racing?

Ayrton!

Is that what you asked for?

Much more beautiful than the green and yellow rag you carry around.

Thank you.

Aren't you gonna tell me what you plan to do with it?

If it's the only way to make them pay attention, I'm gonna

win the race and take this flag to the podium with me.

I'm gonna race for Hudson Berger.

I will tell you this, Ayrton.

If you decide to accept Ferrari's offer, it will be an honor for all of us.

I can't, Niki.

I can't do that with Gerhard.

He finally has his chance to be first driver.

I can't make him second again.

Bullshit.

You know, I will not cheer for you.

But I hope you enter the race.

Guys, cut it out.

We don't know, Paola.

If you wanna run, go outside, do you understand?

Are they only gonna show the race when it starts?

Jesus, the kids are impossible today.

Do you remember back at that age, Zaza?

He was a little vulcan.

We're live for all of Brazil.

With the Imbolo Grand Prix, this is the third race of the Formula 1 1994 season.

Sanda begins at pole position.

He's seeking his first victory this season after not scoring in the first two races,

which were won by Benetton's Michael Schumacher.

Laura Harrison?

Yes.

This is for Maarten.

Thank you.

Are you confident for a good race here today in Imola?

I hope it's a good race for everyone.

And I want to take the moment to say a

special hello to my dear, dear friend Alain.

He's there with you.

We miss you, Alain.

Anyway, one day, I

spoke with Aston and he was really worried about the state of the track.

And can I say, I agree with him, actually.

Another very serious accident in Inola.

Pedro Lame's Lotus has been destroyed.

An accident at the start here.

Lame and Lehto's safety car will go on the track.

Two tires of Lame go off the track.

You're okay.

You're okay.

It's been a very dangerous weekend here at Ibala.

Tractator, estimate two laps to restart.

You're in control, but the car talks to you.

The steering wheel moves the column, which makes the wheels turn on the ground.

To the right and to the left.

So son, it's like your hands are on the ground too.

On the dirt.

Or the asphalt.

Feel it.

Safety car off.

Aif Bolsena may pull in the first two races of the year, but

Michael Schumacher won them both and leads the championship.

Michael Schumacher is trying to pressure Aif Bolsena right now on lap six.

And...

Bolsena is trying to make this Renault engine scream louder than the Ford engine.

Bolsena's had a bad crash.

A

driver was taken by helicopter to hospital.

According to an official statement from Maggiore Hospital of Bologna.

We wish we'd never had to report.

Ayrton Senna da Silva has died.

Ayrton Senna was the greatest driver who has

ever lived in the history of Grand Prix racing.

He was supreme in almost every way in the sport and

great personality, not only as a driver, but as a man.

At 2.16 p.m.

Ayrton Senna died at the Imola circuit.

Ayrton Senna, one of the greatest drivers in Formula One history.

A tragic weekend for Formula One as Brazilian driver

Ayrton Senna was killed as he came off the track.

When I saw the crash, I wasn't able to continue my report.

Brazil bids farewell to its great idol, Ayrton Senna.

Today, the Brazilian nation has lost not

only a three-time world champion, but a hero.

We've lost someone who waved the Brazilian flag up high on the highest podiums.

Formula One has lost one of its greatest figures, and

Sundays have lost their sparkle for an entire nation.

I'm a racing driver.

I think that even before I got into a car, I already knew I was born to race.

Since I was a boy, I had this feeling the world moved too slow for me.

It was like I had a different perception of everything, of time especially.

My mother says I didn't learn to walk, I learned to race.

She called me Little Volcano.

I said I didn't know how to race.

I told myself I would start with nothing.

Then one day I got into the go-kart that Miltão, my dad, built for me.

And that's when I found myself, for real.

It was just me, the car, and the track.

Just me and time.

That's it.

I'm a racing driver.

And for a driver, The battle is always against time.

But never just against time.

It's an endless joy.

It's an adventure.

Adrenaline.

Pure racing.

When I was a boy, I only wanted to race and win for myself.

I think that after 20 years of racing, I learned that no one wins alone.

That's why I never stopped racing.

Because when I'm in my car, I know that I'm not alone.

Do everything with a lot of love.

And with a lot of faith in God.

Because one day you will get there.

Because one way or another, you will get there.
