The question in my mind is: How can a driver like Senna, that had this huge sensibility for everything that happens inside the car, not notice something so serious and dangerous? This is very strange.

PERFEITA A ANÁLISE ! É inaceitável que pessoas tenham sido inocentadas nisso . Inaceitável a Williams devolver as duas caixas pretas destruídas , inaceitável terem cortado de propósito a fita que filmou o impacto através da câmera do carro , inaceitável não liberarem a filmagem da sétima volta quando ocorreu o impacto, . Isso tudo para proteger os interesses da F1 , virou uma máfia !! MUITO OBRIGADA por sua análise !!

I used to work with a friend of the Williams race team fabricator who modified the steering column, it was known to be a badly engineered and executed repair that failed. After the accident the steering wheel and part of the column can be seen next to the car. Anyone who is involved in motorsport on an engineering level knows that that steering column would not have broken because of the accident, it broke just before the accident and Senna lost the ability to make a steering input!

Sem dúvida alguma foi a quebra da barra de direção,a improvisação deu lugar a um serviço que teria que ser feito na fábrica da equipe,ou seja,trocar toda a direção do carro,ou invés disso fizeram uma improvisação com uma imenda mal feita e mal SOLDADA,que não resistiu a força da pressão sobre essa imenda,tanto que o carro segue em linha reta por quase 90( noventa ) metros ,no início da curva e ao final da reta dos boxes o carro estava a 320 kms por hora ao entrar na curva TAMBOLLERO e ficar SEM DIREÇÃO,ou seja,quebrou a barra ,SENNA ainda consegue reduzir a velocidade do carro para 207(duzentos e sete) kms por hora, porém,ao bater no muro a essa velocidade a roda dianteira direita que foi a primeira a bater no muro de concreto,soltou-se e veio de encontro ao cokpit, como a cabeça do AYRTON estava jogada para frente por causa da freiada brusca,a roda empurra a cabeça do AYRTON com muita,muita força contra o encosto do cokpit,causando - lhe uma LESÃO NA BASE DO CÉREBRO,além do que o braço da suspensão da roda passou feito uma FLEXA pelo capacete do AYRTON,perfurando o mesmo e tbm a sua TÊMPORA DIREITA,este corte no capacete foi de aproximadamente 6( seis) centrimentros,causando perda de MASSA CEREBRAL e muito, muito SANGUE,o que acarretou em MORTE CEREBRAL,portanto quando a equipe médica chegou ao local do acidente, após 1( um) minuto e 40( quarenta) pós batida,o AYRTON já estava MORTO,apenas continuava com o coração ainda batendo,a equipe médica apenas fez manobras médicas para manter o coração do AYRTON ainda batendo para que não fosse aclamado que ele morreu na pista,portanto a causa - morte foi a quebra da SOLDA MAL FEITA que não aguentou a pressão da PISTA.🤦

I'm here today for the 30th anniversary. I'd never realized the steering column damage at Acque Minerali, though.

It’s an interesting analysis you have produced here. I’ve watched a few different videos on here of the moments leading up to the accident, up to the on-board footage which cuts out right before the car impacts the wall. For a long time I disagreed with the broken column theory and put it down to the car’s handling being uncontrollable due to the tires not being up to temperature. But looking at it further, I think that both may be true and one directly contributed to the other. When you compare all of the footage from the qualifying, warm up and the race, it’s clear something significant has changed on lap 6 (first racing lap footage) going into lap 7 compared to the previous footage from qualifying and the morning warm up…The car is bouncing around a lot more, to the point where the camera is lining out and even cutting out completely multiple times. The ride looks awful and like Ayrton is really trying to hold on to it. My best guess is that this change in ride is down to the tire pressures and temps still being very low due to the time spent behind the terribly underpowered Opel Vectra safety car after the start line accident. Senna at one point even pulls up alongside it, waving his fist and yells with his visor up at Charlie Whiting (in the passenger seat) to go faster, who shouts back that they can’t… Even the safety car driver was starting to panic that the totally unsuitable safety car was being driven too hard just to keep the F1 cars at a pace where they could anywhere near maintain tire pressure and they’d go off the circuit…In fact, when the safety car eventually made it back to the pits at the restart, the brake pedal was nearly at the floor, all the dash warning lights were on and it wouldn’t restart again. They literally drove the Vectra safety car so hard to keep up that they killed it. Then add in the factor that both of the Williams were probably running a fairly heavy fuel load (the cars of Senna and Hill can be seen to be the only ones of about 10 seen in the camera shot actually sparking and bottoming out earlier in the lap). All of the added vibration created by these factors would certainly have put a lot more stress on the modified steering column and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if this had started to fail halfway through lap 6. The most interesting footage is the last 5 seconds or so before the accident going into Tamburello. As Senna enters the corner, you see the car really flex over a series of bumps on the inside of the corner. On the third or fourth bump, there’s a strong vibration which shakes the camera heavily and the car bottoms out and twitches to the right (you can see this from Schumacher’s in-car footage behind if you look carefully). I believe at this point the column is literally hanging by a thread, so to speak…Senna then immediately attempts to correct and I believe the load from this probably caused it to snap completely. You can see Senna’s helmet in the left mirror. At this moment you see his head react to something and he looks down, or possibly being forced down by the sudden change of G-force as the column breaks…you see his full visor in the mirror for a moment (as opposed to the base of the helmet as previously) and you no longer see any arm or hand movements on the wheel as the car goes straight on. I don’t think he knew the column was damaged a lap earlier. I think the car was handling so unexpectedly poorly at that point due to the tires not being up to temp that he wouldn’t have known what the hell was even going on until perhaps 1 - 2 seconds before the impact, at most.

Video was intentionally cut so there's no footage showing that the wheel was loose in his hands.

There was an onboard I found from a random F1 documentary that was different from all the popular ones. During last second, I heard the engine sound changed pitch, like he did a instant throttle lift exactly the same moment that his head jerked forward. That half of second sound was cut in a lot of the popular onboards. It's crazy how many new things is discovered.

You raised a very important question in the video. Did Senna radio the team to let them know he was having problems with the steering? Well I'm curious did the Williams FW16 have a specific button on the steering wheel for the radio? If so maybe you could find footage of him pressing it during his last couple of laps? That might indicate he was trying to let them know something was wrong. Just a theory I had :-)

It would be interesting to see the onboard camera in training in the previous days to see how the steering was going.

Ayrton Senna was a perfectionnist, i can’t believe he did not feel anything. Most of all, he had a bad feeling this week end after the two accidents (tragic). Damned why didn’t he go back to the paddock!?? 😢 Probably the destiny… four hours sooner he had these words for Alain Prost « I miss you Alain😢 »

What does left for Hill to say… when you’re lapped after 2/3 by you teammate (who is new in the team) in brasil, then constantly gets more than half a second in every qualifying. The only way to justify yourself in this tragic situation is to say that Senna was overagressive, risked too much and bla bla. “I also could drive this fast but i was more carefull”. Totall bullshit. All drivers said that in tamburello you can go out only because of mechanic failure. Steering failed 100 per cent, it was confirmed by Italian prosecutors and trial, there was fatigue on the metal. Senna hit on brakes so hard, that indicates that he realized he had no steering. Because drivers before hiting brakes so hard, try to realize the problem - front/rear suspencion and so on. When you hit it so hard it means no steering. It’s obvious, there’s nothing to discuss more. Great video!

Great work man. Always wondered why mainstream media has not debunked the bottoming theory yet. I mean every year we are celebrating Ayrton's life and legacy and no one asks simply question: "Why and how did this guy died at first place?" Long time ago i saw documentary. I think it was Brazilian movie. Prost and Ron Dennis both said that it must have been a mechanical error. Piquet and Berger also said it was a steering column. To ignore opinions of world champions and to believe Martin Brundle and Damon Hill (employee of Williams) is beyond incomprehensible for me.

Most probably, Senna believed he could deal with the steering imbalance by the help of his superior management over the car as he mostly demonstrated during tough times, but this was an incomparable one.

Great work as usual....thank you very much Haris!

Fantastic work to whoever made this video. Very well dissected and a very logical analysis 👍 As it has and always will be, motor racing is dangerous. RIP Senna 🙏

La telemetría indica que estuvo ejerciendo presión a la dirección hasta el final. Así q no estaba rota en carrera. Es normal q si la barra estaba soldada se rompiera por mismo impacto accidente. Algo se fastidió más si cabe en el coche y me inclino a pensar que está más relacionado con el embrague ya que en la telemetría tiene unos cambios bruscos y la fuerza del acelerador también cambia a mayor, lo mismo que primero baja y después sube (la frenada) Creo q el coche llegó a correr por encima de sus posibilidades y no respondió bien, y si lo hizo fue a destiempo, cuando ya no había remedio por estar muro delante. Una rotura de embrague perjudica también la dirección coche. Ayrton Senna baja un poco la cabeza antes de chocar, alguna décima de segundo después del último chispazo del coche por contacto suelo y después de que unas piezas negras salieran desde su coche y rodaran por el suelo (esto se vio desde coche Shumacher) Ayrton ❤

At Watkins Glen (I think) Senna noticed a wall had moved by a few mm, but didn’t notice a steering problem at San Marino/Imola?

The steering wheel it's attached to a hub, Wich it's fixed inside the cockpit. After the accident we can see the steering wheel with the hub and the broken column. Probably the bolts that holds the hub, unscrewed with vibration or, there were missing a few of them

Hello, it might already been said, but it was always weird for me, that his footage on qualifying inside the cockpit is cristal clear, and on raceday and especially the last seconds its so dark, that i believe it got blurred (dark greenish pixels) by Williams or whoever got it in their Hands before releasing it to public again. Also the rather hard "pink tape cuts" throughout the footage, especially on final bump before loosing signal is not THAT drastically seen in other cockpit footage from other grand Prix's in that year. It almost looks like to me that someone thought "lets build these in so that people get convinced that the camera failed in the last second completely and that's why the footage cuts off" Would be interested about your take on this one. Great video once again, you're the best! 😊 I hope that some day someone finally can do a proper simulation. With the tools we have nowadays, that would be easily possible.

Exatamente no ponto da curva onde o carro solta faísca na volta anterior, talvez pela pressão dos pneus, parece ser onde a barra de direção acaba de se romper. Senna n tiraria o pé por nada depois q entrou no carro aquele dia, como ele próprio definia o seu estilo é "ou vai, ou racha (win or wall)"... Funcionou por dez anos.

What did that yellow button do anyway?

Parabéns pelo trabalho. Fico muito orgulhoso quando enconto seres humanos comprometidos com a verdade. Obrigado.

After driving the 93 season prevented by contract from overtaking Alain ( -but being as fast as the Frenchman most of the time- )... being lapped by Senna in Brazil didn't do Damon any good.

I think that on the exit of the last chicane he tries to move the steering wheel horizontaly to feel how much it moves.He looks down at the same time

Excelente trabalho !!! A verdade não pode ser escondida. A demora de quase uma década em sair o veredito final após o caso ser reaberto serviu como uma cortina de fumaça ao fazer este caso cair no esquecimento na memória das pessoas. Muitos ainda acreditam na teoria do vento, que fez o carro entrar em Stall e ir totalmente reto ao muro. Os segundos finais nunca poderiam vir a público. Pois mostrariam o volante quase que totalmente desprendido osclinando ainda mais.

Hello Haris. Last time i found on a forum, a few KZfaq footages, where the people who posted it in around 2006,claimed that the footage lasted untill the crash into the borders, without cutting off. However clicking it on it, reveals that the video got taken down by FIA and Formula One. Very strange, because formula one rarely takes down videos for "copyright reasons" I'll post the link when i find the forum again.

What did the button in question do? Senna seems to press it a few times during these 60 seconds. Was it the radio? Senna was known to be quite talkative to his team during the race. Could it be he mentioned to the engineers that he was feeling something wrong with the car? Great analysis by the way, keep it up.

They will never admit that they made a mistake.

His head movement is a big telling factor for me. Back before the HANS device his head still stayed upright in corners, but that last turn his head moves to the side as if trying to will the car around the corner. The steering was clearly disengaged from the wheels

Of Course Senna reported the mechanic team , that disturbing problem and complaint a lot and also the security failures of Imola since the first day,on Friday.

Δε θα βγει η αλήθεια ποτέ στη δικαιoσύνη δυστυχώς. Ελπίζω αυτό το βίντεο να γίνει viral όπως το προηγούμενο που είχες ανεβασει το 22. Ντροπή τους που σβήσαν τα στοιχεία πριν το δικαστήριο και τη βγάλαν καθαρή...

Thats not accurate at all, if u look at the shape of the car , its also moving as well. It seems that the footage has been stabilzed which creates some weird motion around certain points on the footage, so taking reference point on this kinda footgae is misleading.

The strange thing is that a professional like Senna didn't notice the anomaly. I drive a normal car and I'm not a professional, but if my car had a different steering response than usual, even if it was only half a degree, I would notice it, lift my foot and pull over to check. On an F1 car, with a setup that skims the asphalt, the anomaly would be perceived 100 times more.... Something doesn't add up.

Just for curiosity, could the movement of the camera impact this analysis?

Hard to imagine a weld failing over 60 seconds of two handed grapling after tyre impact. Still here we are.

did they, you ever take a look a hills steering that day. with the xxs

Didn’t the steering shaft ride in a rubber bushing? This would explain all of the movement seen in the wheel. Also, why is the video here cut off just before he clearly counter steers into an apparent slide?

A fair point about his tyre pressure being lower on lap 6 but on lap seven he was travelling much faster. 30 years ago the world lost a legend, what also saddens me is little is mentioned about the friendship that he developed with Alain Prost who is a trustee of the Senna Foundation

wait, senna set fastest lap with a broken steering column? god damn

When the next video

Great videos but didn't Williams say the camera was vibrating not the steering column .They said that this was a sign the ride height was too low and hitting the ground.

Im not here to come up with strange theories. But he was feeling the pressure of MSC behind him. Like he knew that new guy is ready to be the best. What if senna had more negative thoughts. Any signs of depression? Could he just thought.. the car is broken, but cant give up, msc is behind, so he just wanted 200%... or he knew it and was depressed.. drove out in highspeed.. he was probably more touched by the ratzenberger accident.. I dont wanna hurt anyones feeling just was never a thing to think about a driver also could call it quit due to pressure they have/had Especially senna.. And even scarier... schumacher sees senna drive into the wall.. get on a wonderful career and ends up hitting a stone to end his "normal" life... he picked up the winning of senna but also the heartbreaking lifechanger.. R.I.P. Senna and keep fighting MSC

Stress on the car and fatigue setting into the Welds’… of course, my biggest issue as a NHRA driver is Senna clearly expressed concern and they didn’t listen!!!!

which is the name of the mechanic that made the welding?

You should show this video to Damon Hill ...

Schumacher said Senna was bottoming badly and nearly lost it on the previous lap. I believe the car bottomed so badly that it lost ground effect and stepped out. Senna reacted with a reflex correction and as the rear wheels regained traction the car followed the direction of the front wheels which were still under correction. The car was then a high speed on the grass heading for the barrier. Senna was unable to steer or slow the car before impact. Berger, Piquet and Alesi suffered similar accidents but survived uninjured.

If you watch the whole video of the crash from the Senna movie you can see him correct to the right just as he leaves the track (using the same button as a reference). Exactly what the data released shows and also what you would expect from the car bottoming hard at that part of the track. What you don't see is the wheel turn hard to the left as you would expect from the total failure of the steering. Also, as shown here that wheel adjustment was also not good and probably was flexing enough to cause Senna issues, and likely that it broke as well during the crash, or even during the correction. Both things can be possible. However steering column failure doesn't totally match all the facts. End of the day, cars have mechanical issues ALL the time. The exact reason for leaving the track is almost irrelevant compared to what happened to Senna during the accident. The changes made post accident (to the cars and tracks) should have been the focus and not the silly criminal trial that resulted.

Can you do the same to another driver's car? Just to see whether the axis doesn't are the same

Se houvesse uma contenção de pneus no muro da Tamburello Senna poderia ter se salvado?

Like airplane crashes, this accident was a result of many factors. First, by a bad repaired steering column, Senna agreed to repair, instead replace. Second, race circumstances like a flat or punctured tire or tarmac ondulations at the curve. Third, bad luck when the suspension hits the helmet after the crash. If this accident occurred 100 times, how many result in fatal crash!?

Solid bar inside tubular column where it was joined im sure it would not have failed.

There’s so many theories about how this happened but I’m of the belief that the tyre pressures played a major part in this tragedy. If there was no movement in the steering column then it would have snapped sooner, the column would have been designed with flexing in mind the same way an aircraft wing is designed to flex. Sadly we will never know, I’m grateful to have seen Ayrton race albeit not in person and saddened by his passing. RIP

I sobbalzi del tamburello hanno fatto in modo che si spezzasse definitivamente... Quei 3 buchi in centro curva fatti a 300 kmh hanno sollecitato tantissimo il piantone di sterzo ed infatti in quel momento proprio sui sobbalzi senna va dritto, i sobbalzi lo hanno fatto rompere del tutto...

so he had a whole minute to rewind his life in his mind. i thought he knew just 2 seconds before.

I wish he has felt something than maybe He was still alive. Senna wouldn't stop the car soon though. anyway i wish they had tech-pro barriers back then. Or the chicane (not a fan of chicanes, but it would saved him)

Os engenheiros da williams só executaram, mas o "mandante" foi a FIA q nunca respeitou o ser humano e valiou acima de tudo a sua ganância por dinheiro

Can u do this analysis but include all laps color by color?

I heard that Williams FW16 number 2 had two black boxes, one for telemetry and the other for the conversation between Ayrton and his team... both, according to testimony from authorities, were discovered semi-intact in the parc fermé shortly after a race. .. but they ended up in the hands of Williams' people, who handed them over to the Italian courts completely destroyed... Why is that?

Dude, I didn't see anything that the text suggests during the video, Im try.

i subbed just for this

You could subtitle the videos into Portuguese?

i already watches the same videos 5 years ago, you were not the first to investigate on this. the other videos might have been removed, fia don't like them very much!

Senna forever!!

Supuestamente era parte del diseño que tenga ese movimiento.. pero en brasil no lo tenia. Y si fuera asi entonces fue implementado para Imola? Pero si no lo fue, y venia con ese extraño movimiento del volante: por que Senna no se detuvo apenas al notarlo? Tanta era su desesperacion para ganar que no le importo que algo tan delicado no este en condiciones de operar y aun asi piso el acelerador a fondo? Son cuestiones que nunca pero nunca lo sabremos.

Ayrton je bio preiskusan vozač, kako nije primjetio da nešto ne valja sa volanom i jednostavno zaustavio bolid. Mislim da je volan pukao nakon udara u zid. Ali da su radovi bili loše izvedeni na Williamsu, to je istina.

コーナリング中にステアリングシャフトが折れ、操作不能に。 それが原因！ コーナーを高速走行中にハンドルから両手を離してみれば分かる。車体がどのような動きするか。 セナのマシンと同じ、急激にアウト側に向きを変えていく。

👍

he didn't call his radio "hello i'm gonna retire!" "hello i'm gonna die!" let's be realistic, senna was a believer.

Next chapters please ...

self proclaimed "Experts" over analysing blurry video and coming up with their own conclusions despite not being present. Why do I suddenly feel like it's 2002 again?

pode apagar esse video,o damom hill dss se a barra tivesse quebrada nao era essa a posiçao das maos do senna e cabo.

david coulthard told fittipaldi at a lunch that sennas steering broke on practise aswell .. DC was test driver then it is my belief williams botched the steering extension, i also think they removed data sensors from the car but claimed they were damaged ... senna was far too talented to lose control of a car during a simple left handed banked corner... gerhard berger also stated when an F1 driver jumps straight on the brakes it is because he cant control the problem the car is going through , his steering column certainly failed. frank,damon hill,newey,DC, patrick head and even alain prost know it aswell!!!!!!!!

I don't agree with your conclusion. Everybody who are a professional driver have a very high sensitivity with the steer, pedal and balance of the car. If the steering is loose like you said, Senna will feel it before the accident. The real cause is a rear suspension failure. After the first rear bump (viewing from Schumacher onboard cam), the rear suspension breaks and Senna's lose control. Even Nelson Piquet, after Senna's death, said that's the only possible cause for the accident. The steering button position analysis is cool, but the low quality of the generated image and the high vibration compromise your conclusion.

Reviéntanos los oídos con tus efectos especiales.

Senna died because of a failed weld on the steering wheel.-

It could have broken in any chicane (where you turn the wheel more) and senna would survive...

This makes me sad

Okay, after this great work you take a look on the moon landing. 😉😅

his head moves too far to the left as if the steering rod had broken at that moment

Sempre ficou claro q a coluna de direção se rompeu!!!

yes but why ayrton do not action his brakes ??

Acque Minerali is correct name

❤THANKS ❤ Today 2024

Conclusion:il a perdu sa vie en seulement quelques secondes.rip😢

i wish we could just ask him.

Didnt adrian newye designed that car that killed senna

Os donos da F1e a Williams são os culpados da morte de Senna!

It was a g-force accident on cold tires, after spending 5 laps following a slow pace car. The bottom of the car bottomed out, giving Senna no way to control the car. There are changes to the motion of the steering wheel, because the entire steering wheel assembly moved by design, particularly in a corner with 3.6g.

it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out... the steering wheel is all over the place for one whole lap.. F1 should be held accountable and got away with murder. still, it was the fastest lap with a doomed wheel. this gay wasn't from this world...

So Ayrton drove 30 second with a broken steering wheel without notice it. ? Are u kidding me? 😂 Let's be serious

That is nonsense: you can clearly see the “Rothmans” label move as well: so itis the camera that is mounted with vibration isolation, in turn things move around a bit. Plus, do you honestly think the day after Roland R died, and 2 days aftr Rubens B hat a horrible crash, someone like Senna, who actually did not want to drive that day at all, would go full steam in Tamburello, with fragile steering, knowing about the concrete wall and the speed there?

Car position / suspension on heavy breaking zones deceleration and low breaking acceleration. This analysis is not correct and misleading

Não não talvez vcs não entenderam o Senna não estava emprecinado e nem tão pouco o acidente foi causado pelo dryve o problemas foram caudados por uma falha no volante do carro e não no drive como o amigo falou e em eu ou ninguém ouviu Damon hiil falar sobre isso se fosse pelo drive o problema estava sendo resolvido mas como não foi foi por isso se não viu a reportagem da época e as fotos vejam como foi concluído as investigações da época viu irmão e e melhor tomar um muito cuidado ao afirmar uma coisa como essas. Porque isso pode. Lis causa danos ao afirmar uma falta de informaçães como essas Senna na verdade foi vítima não foi porque ele foi e porque não seguiu alinha reta não ele foi reto inexplicávelmente reto e isso nem pode nos mudarmos nossa história e nem o dia que aconteceu 😃😃 entendeu e também ele não foi por pressão de jeito nenhum 😔😕 de maneira nenhuma tanto que ele não pagaria por sua imprudência no volante e nem por causa de indeposblidade e por pressão de jeito nenhum tanto que ele não pagaria pir uma coisa que não envolveria nisso ele morreu porque pelo colega estava fazendo a mesma coisa que ele e que ele foi espatifado no muro 🧱 assim que como ele Senna não e um cara suicida não de jeito nenhum e melhor pensar direitinho mesmo com todas sua experiência ele sabia o poderia acontecer fazer viu não adianta argumentar tudo e qualquer coisa não viu e isso vamos e respeitar a memória do cara se tem alguma sugestões e so e mas com raiva o Dio que isso e uma sem graça chato da gente ficar argumenando uma coisa pôr e um braço show respeito a sua família 😁☺️😃 gostei do vídeo as imagens ficaram muito bons isso mostrar muito bem como Senna tentou.faze alguma coisa alí no carro mas não teve e tempo se estivesse pneus e caixas de brita eles estavam bem vivos até até próxima semana viu um feliz páscoa para todos Deus abençoe todos vocês e valeu 💯 gostei viu muito obrigado show de acelera Ayrton Senna do Brasil 🏎️🏁🏆🏆🏎️🏁🏆🏆🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️ 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️ tantã tantã e Senna do Brasil 🇧🇷🏁 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

Foi assassinado...

Mercedes DAS

Its quite simple, the car bottomed out lost downforce and by the time the slide was corrected it was heading stright for the wall. At those speeds its not surprising. Nothing to do with his steering wheel being broke before the corner.

All hypothetical, Imola is bumpy by nature, Senna was one of the most sensitive to car change

I'm not sure this is right. 1. On the footage he clearly had oversteer which wouldn't happen under steering failure. 2. The telemetry recorded steering inputs well after Senna's car left the track. 3. David Coulthard, who also raced the '94 Williams, demonstrated the flexibility in the steering to camera.

his ego got him killed . i have no doubt he could feel the malfunction. he knew what he was driving but took the risk . if the steering wheel you hold on to starts moving very differently than every time before he should have slowed down and go into pits . maybe he was a great driver but not the smartest. i was watching the race on tv . i didn't think like this when it took place. but after all the evidence and investigations it's clear he knew he was driving over the limit with a damaged car.
