It's Senna week but let's not forget Roland Ratzenberger who passed away one day before the great Ayrton Senna.

Roland Ratzenberger was a young driver who had been a part of only 3 gp weekends. He had raced in one single race only so it was very sad indeed that he died.

Ayrton Senna's reaction when he saw Ratzenberger's crash:

Here is some footage of the 1994 San Marino (2nd) qualifying session.

Ayrton Senna planned to win the race on Sunday and wave the Austrian flag for young Ratzenberger. They found the flag in Senna's car later on Sunday after he also had crashed.

Rest in peace Roland and Ayrton. You are both missed in the motor racing world.

If you believe in god like Ayrton then you should think about the two of them up there somewhere racing each other.

I am not a religious man but when people die I sometimes like to think like a religious person. It brings a smile on my face for a second or two.

We should not just remember how they died. We should remember how they lived.
