Is it possible that, in 1994, Ayrton Senna blacked out half way through tamburello, causing him to crash?

We will never know for sure but computer evidence at the time showed that he was using his foot to brake before he hit the wall. Quite a hard thing to do if you are blacked out. The likely cause was broken steering but again as it was damaged further in the accident we will never know for sure. Only Senna could tell us. \n\nHowever, while Roland Ratzenberger was a rookie driver he was not just some test driver, he was qualifying for the race. He was a talent that was never discovered because he never had a chance.\n\nAs someone who saw both deaths as they happened I think formula 1 was just too dangerous for the speed and ability of the cars.

I believe it was wayne bell in 1988 not 100% though as it could be 1989 a buddy has just said. it was 100% 1988 but Ingvar Carlsson was driving

He finished the race (although in 12th place, I think). He's probably a little embarassed after that dumb-bunny stunt. Couldn't settle for second. No. Had to push the envelop to get first, and crash himself into 12th.\nDoh!

As a prankster myself, I'm all for him.  He also gave me an insight into living life that I use just about every day.  A reporter asked him how he felt about Senna's death, and he said that it affected him (obviously) in a bad way and he started to think about racing in a different formula or other cars and then he says "And then I said no, either you do it or you don't do it".  Just so simple and wise I thought.  No dancing around.

Details of a late night car crash involving Eminem made their way to national media outlets. The story, which began circualting in early-December, claimed the surly rapper was driving a rented Saturn coupe to a late-night party when he lost control. The falsified account described the incident in gory detail: \n\n"...Mathers, who authorities believe was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, was behind the wheel of a Saturn coupe that witnesses say swerved to avoid a slow moving vehicle, then lost control and slammed into a grove of trees. The car was crumpled by the impact, making extraction of Mather's body very difficult. He was declared dead on the scene by paramedics who arrived a short time later." \n\nMTV's Web site reportedly claimed to have a photograph and eyewitness accounts of the accident. However, less than two days after the rumor's inception, executives from Eminem's record label posted a statement on his Web site claiming that the contentious Slim Shady was "alive and at home with his family for the holidays in Detroit, " adding, "And he wishes all of you shady holidays and a dirty New Year."

Rubens was badly affected by both the death of Ayrton Senna and his own qualifying accident at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix; it really took him a long time to to rebound. At the time, I had high hopes for him and thought he would be a future World Driving Champion.\nI don't think the years he spent playing second fiddle to Michael Schumacher sapped him, rather I believe his career stalled when he went to Stewart, so, unfortunately I have to say he's not as good as ever.

Without a doubt it's the late Ayrton Senna. The man consistently outqualified and outperformed every teammate he had in his career at every level of racing, with teammates like F1 champions Alain Prost and Damon Hill. Incredible car control in all weather conditions at any track. Unbeatable and uncomparable.

It could be again a close call between schumi and alonso

Refined cheating by “Italy” and worst referees of World cup 2006, I am very sad it happened in a world cup Quarter-final match, when whole world is watching. Australia played really well. Both the decision of red card and penalty was wrong.

Ouch!  Let's not judge the man before he has a chance to explain his stupid actions... he might have slipped on a banana peel or something.     His performance moving thru the pack at Monaco was amazing - if anything, he is as sharp as ever - with a very fast car.  It just seems like Alonso has a slight edge over him that he can't manage to overcome. \n\nCheers!

He won two championships, in 1998 and 1999.\n\nNot bad for a man who nearly died in the Australian Grand Prix of 1995 is it!

Absolutely.  He missed a curve driving his brand new Spyder Porche racing car.  Interesting is that the death car reputedly is cursed as it's caused upteen accidents and deaths even after Jimmy died.  \n\nHere's a neat website on the 'curse' of that car:\nhttp://www.qsl.net/w5www/dean.html

Yes the first part (barichello) moving was quite wrong but coming to second qn will schumi overshadow Masso, defenitely NO... Bcoz schumi is a real team-man and greating sporting personality and he has always shown great enthusiasm and courage if his teammate won. please remember that when barrichello came second allowing schumi to win he asked barri to step into first posistion podium and that is why he is one of the greatest sporting heroes. Not only that please remember the 2 races earlier when alonso challenged schumi during the prize ceremony he asked the crowd to applaud alonso also for the great fight he put... He is a great hero and massa is fortunate to have schumi as a team mate and idol with him

He's got a long face because he lost the title last year... if you are talking about his mood now. And he also has a long face now because Alonso's run of victories and podiums makes Michael feel that the 8th title is slipping -again- through his fingers like a piece of iron scrubbed with a ton of grease. Probably it's because the Ferraris, models F2000 to F2004, were brilliant pieces of technology; F2005 was a failure that sent the Scuderia to the middle of the scores, and the 248 F1, the Ferrari used this year, is a fenomenal piece of technology but there is another car on the track this year that is a more fenomenal piece of technology, without the hiccups recorede by other teams... I'm talking, of course, about the Renault R26 and the man behind the wheel of the car with number 1 on the nose.

Yes, he was! \n\nEven the TV interviewer didn't know what to say. During the last GP at Interlagos, Brazil, on the starting grid before the G.P., Kimi was asked if he could comment on the presentation of the life achievement throphy that Pele gave Schumacher. However Kimi said he didn't see it. When asked how come, he responded he "had to take a shittt". It was live on TV, and many people lately complained about that response. Oh shameful!!!!!11\n\nI guess certain ceremonies aren't just worth "shittt"!!!!!\n\nFor Kimi that presentation was just a "crappy" moment!\n\nBut who gives a "crap"? Actually, Kimi did.\n\nThe whole thing was only a "piece of shittt"!\n\nBut even before starting the engine, Kimi gave it some gas!\n\nKimi asked Ferrari for next season to have a special seat in his car with a hole for "shittty times" (just in case).\n\nRenault was faulted for their Mass Dumper. Kimi and McLaren were repremended for their Mass Dump.\n\nOk...I can go on forever. Point taken.

Huh, that's a great question, I have no idea what happened to him. YOu should ask it on http://www.openwheelfans.com it's a discussion board for open wheel racing.

If you look at the obituaries, a lot of people died on the 7th. A lot of people were born as well though. A F1 GP took place in Germany. And an idiot was waiting another day before asking this idiotic question!
