senna-fangio

Heart to heart: Two giants of motor racing legend embrace each other. Ayrton Senna is congratulated by the Maestro, Juan Manuel Fangio, in winning what turned out to be his final success on home soil in 1993. Three races into the following season and after scoring three pole positions, Senna perished while leading the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola. The tall tale of his tremendous talent is only a click away at:

Unfortunately, tragedy had arrived a day earlier at Imola. In Saturday’s qualifying session Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger lost his life after crashing his Simtek.
