F1Rogues Crash Investigation: Ayrton Senna, Imola 1994

Michael Schumacher was running in second place behind Senna and he had noticed that Senna’s Williams had "bottomed out" through Tamburello on lap six. As Senna crossed the finish line at the end of lap six he was 0.6 ahead of Michael Schumacher. As Senna entered Tamburello on lap seven his FW16 twitched violently and speared into the concrete wall on the outside of the corner. The above in car shot from Schumacher’s B194 shows the exact moment that Senna lost control of his car. The car bounced back toward the circuit as debris flew across the tack for the second time in the race.
