May 1st 1994: Senna dies
On this day in 1994 the Brazilian racing driver and Formula One champion Ayrton Senna was killed in an accident during the San Marino Grand Prix. He was 34 years old. Often considered one of the greatest drivers of all time, Senna won the Formula One World Championships three times. He died hours after his accident during a race when his car left the track and hit a concrete wall at around 135mph. Senna is the last Formula One driver to die during a race.

I was watching the race when that happened.  He was complaining about how dangerous the course was before this race was started. 

 

 

F1 in New York & New Jersey

I did not think driving a formula 1 car in NY is possible outside of Grand Turismo game anyway...I had my hopes up seeing the car flying around the Times square... but enjoyed the footage regardless. I hate Redbull.
