Most definately Senna's death.
In all honesty, I don’t think F1 has ever fully recovered from loosing its greatest ever driver so tragically.

its obvious most people will say Senna's death but i did not watch F1 at the time so i cant use that as my sad moment.
My saddest moment was when i heard that Manardi was no more. they might have been the backmarkers but they always tryed to do the best they could and were the starting platform for many good drivers. With Red Bull taking over i wonder how many new drivers are going to get a chance at F1 now. Plus, it was the only car that had a diffecrent paint scheme ever race.

The Masters have returned.
"People were being killed left, right and center back then," [Phil Hill] says. "I became hyper-sensitive to the danger, and wasn't sure that I wasn't going to kill myself. As a result, racing brought out the worst in me. Without it, I don't know what kind of person I might have become. But I'm not sure I liked the person I did become, because I was selfish, irritable and defensive."

I only vaguely remember Senna's death, being quite young at the time (and I actually wonder whether the coverage of it helped to introduce me to F1). Looking back I would say all deaths in F1 are equally sad, perhaps I even feel more sad for the less well-known drivers. Having said that they all willingly accept the risks as Wez's DC quote illustrates (in another thread).
To be a willing slave of a loving God's commands,
That's the key to a freedom that I'll never understand.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
--Mark Twain (1835-1910)
