Grabthaw the Hammerslayer 4 Report post Posted August 12, 2014 Going through my old photos and came across two old pics: First is one of Ayrton Senna taken by my friend Ray Ninness a professional photographer on May 1st 1994 - the day of his death. I love this photo. I have only scanned/loaded a low-res version (the original is large), as if you want a larger version - you'll have to buy one from Ray - he is on http://www.f8photos.com/ - a larger than life character himself. The second is from a test day in Silverstone with Michael Schumacher on 1st June 1995 prior to the Canadian GP. I have separately written up this day and posted other photos.

Your other wife.... Of course, I also found the pictures when Max Mosley came round to my house with C-E-N-S-O-R-E-D and 3 tubs of whipped cream and C-E-N-S-O-R-E-D with a himalayan mountain goat and C-E-N-S-O-R-E-D jack-boots.

I heard about that, seems the death of Ratzenberger put things into perspective a bit more. Watching the "Senna" film and even professor Sid Watkins asked him why he keeps doing it after all the success he has achieved, hang it up and we'll go fishing. He told Sid he simply couldn't as it was his blood, less than 24 hrs later he was gone. I remember it so well, 2 days before my 10th birthday all I wanted was for Senna win and score some points as Schumi had won every race so far. Who could have even imagined what was about to happen.

Thought the pic you posted was Schumi's 'parking' incident in 06 but now that I think of it, Schumi parked his at the very end of Q3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
