April 30, 1994. Practice for the San Marino Grand Prix. Roland Ratzenberger (above) lost control and hit a wall. He sustained injuries that was fatal for the Austrian driver. The next day (May 1) it was race day. Track conditions seemed to have no problem at all. But early on, Ayrton Senna (below) hits the wall. He was flown to a hospital where he was declared brain dead, and later fully dead. Two great racers that have given back to motorsport lost their lives on the same race weekend.
Truly, one of the darkest days in motorsport.
