Ayrton Senna 1960–1994
To mark the 20th anniversary of Ayrton Senna’s death Sky Sports F1 invited Damon Hill to Imola so he could share his thoughts on a weekend he and the motoring world will never forget.
In an appropriate sign of respect David Brabham was also there to tell of his experience with the Simtek team after it lost Roland Ratzenberger the day before Senna was killed.
Both men were the last teammates of Senna and Ratzenberger respectively. The documentary is low key, there’s no overbearing voiceovers filled with hyperbole. It’s just two men talking us through that fateful weekend.
In some ways it’s quite morbid seeing Hill and Brabham alone on the sections of track where two men lost their lives. And yet it delivers a poignancy that makes this film very much worth watching.
