Excellent work done on this article. -- Golbez 16:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Although completely erelevant, didn't Schumacher laugh on the podium at Imola? Sorry, I've just seen a few vids on You Tube and I was wondering if anyone had recorded the 1994 San Marino GP - If so, please can you check, thanks :) -- Skully Collins Review Me! Please? 10:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Speed Channel Didn't cover F1 in 1994. ESPN 2 did. I did watch the race live, and I remember Bob Varsha saying on live Broadcast because he was at ESPN " What is going on this weekend, we have a 3 time world champion figting for his life and a driver dead", I remember Katayama spinning but recover, the anouncers laughing that something finally went right, one of the cars lost a tire in the pit lane, it was just a crazy weekend and crazy race and day that I will never forget, I was still in college and I took a small nap after the race hopping for the best news, I woke up at 10:45 CST or so and started watching ESPN Again and that was when the announcement came that Ayrton Senna was gone. It watch the rebroadcast later that night in some strange way like your watching a movie that you hope the ending would change. It was later mentioned that the drivers did know that result before going on the podium. Seeing those words come across the bottom of my father's TV screen is a moment that I cannot forget....DBS The preceeding unsigned comment was left by 68.1.68.146 03:04, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Correct but I was referring to the Speed channel replay of the race shown a few years back, where they said when the podium sequence was being shown "At this point, they know that Aytron Senna is dead". The official announcement was later but the time of death was at the time of the crash. The drivers and F1 paddock might well have been told before the official announcement. Alexj2002 15:00, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
I also Watch the Fontana race in '99 that Greg Moore was killed. There was a lot of smilling but it was all because they were saying their goodbye to Greg thinking of the man and the battle and good times they had. They interviewed Chip Ganassi and He was smilling and he said "yeah Greg is up there on that big track in the Sky" . I assume if Schuemacher was smiling, he was simply reflecting on his time and battle with Senna. I did watch the rebroadcase on Speed as well and I didn't quit catch all the comments but those were recorded over the original live comments. Speed did a rebroadcast of the whole decade and the Funny thing is Bob Varsha was the voice of the original broadcast and he had to record over that during the rebroadcast with Speed. ...DBS
yes, but he has no excuse for laughing. Roland Ratzenberger died during qualifying, remember? Bubby the Tour G 04:49, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
True,,,but I cannot imagine what goes on in these guys lives. I've seen guys get their car destroyed in massive start line crashes and get out and run back to their spare car like nothing happen. I have to think that they have to avoid the fear or the feeling as much as they can to continue on that edge. DBS
I never thought about it like that before, but it's a good point. All the drivers take the responsiblity of their sport and I believe even in times of death, it is very important to laugh and be positive. 64.180.7.63 ( talk) 05:51, 8 June 2008 (UTC)Aelange
Just wanted to say that! -- 4u1e 07:13, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
After counting the seconds via this video: [1], Ayrton Senna's last lap was roughly 1 minute, 26 seconds - Sorry that's the best I can do for now -- Skully Collins Review Me! Please? 09:08, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Regardless of how fast his lap was, I find it very hard to believe that it was the 3rd fastest for the whole race, Senna was notorious for doing that early on but I would think that on a 2 stop strategy he was carrying a lot of fuel. DBS
Did Rubens's accident happen during a practice or qualifying session? Did Friday qualifying even take place during the '94 season? Something tells me it did, which is why I want to check if I've got it right in the article. Alexj2002 22:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
There's some stuff to do with the article I'd like help with finding information on.
Will add more when I think of them. Alexj2002 15:46, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
As far as i know the bbc where the only broadcaster capable of cuting to their own pictures. Sion 16:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Larrousee did not recieve punishment. DBS
the intro discussion of concequences (changes in saftey) don't match the main article text (state funeral, court case, with a little on saftey). The two should be closer. Sabine's Sunbird talk 17:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
This sentence To add to the confusion, Érik Comas left the pits whilst the circuit was closed under red flag. Marshalls frantically waved him down as he approached the scene of the accident travelling at "pretty much full speed". Eurosport commentator John Watson described this as "the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen at any time in my life". needs explaining for people unfamilia r with the sport. Sabine's Sunbird talk 17:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
I think that some more information on how the race actually went would be good. It is true that the racing between Schumacher and Larini pales compared to other events, but for completeness it would be worth having. Sabine's Sunbird talk 04:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Also much as I hate fair use an image, if one can be found, would be good. I can only find pics of Senna's car after the crash which are of dubious taste, perhaps someone has a F1 magazine from the time. Not essential, and certainly doesn't need lots. Sabine's Sunbird talk 04:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
The charges of manslaughter were, and are, absolutely outrageous. If anyone had, impossibly but here for the sake of argument, known the slightest hint of what was going to happen, Senna would simply have not been allowed to run, or the equivalent of, with the car withdrawn immediately. Charging those men with a crime is tantamount to the madness of saying they weren't devastated by it, and I'm sorry but someone needs to point out the sheer incredulity of such a claim, at best. -- Chr.K. 15:01, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
We can't use pictures that have no Fair Use rationale, those two did not have one and would be reason for the article to be rejected as a good. Additionally it would be hard to claim fair use on them as a free alternative would be possible for both. With respect anyone can use Google Images to get pictures of Senna driving a Williams or Barichello in Jordan overalls, the difficult task is finding one that is freely licenced, and that's what this article requires. Alexj2002 21:13, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I have added a spoken version of this article today; see the link at the top. Hassocks5489 16:45, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Were any charges brought by the Italian government over Ratzenberger's death, like they had with Senna? The359 20:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
If I recall correctly, this was also the first race ever (or first race in quite some time) in which the safety car had been deployed since a rule change. This might help explain the mention of concern from the drivers that the safety car was not fast enough. The359 20:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
The circuit maps aren't accurate. The Tamburello turn is too sharp, the chicane at Acque Minerale is omitted (and this part of the circuit is showing in something resembling its 1995-present configuration), and the second of the two Variante Bassa chicanes is also omitted.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.145.112.187 ( talk) 1 May 2007 (UTC).
In the absence of any further mistakes being pointed out, I've carried out the circuit layout update to the Tamburello and Villeneuve images. AlexJ 22:55, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
This sentence-"It led to the reforming of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, " reads like the organization existed but needed reforms, not that it had ceased to exist in 1982 and was reconstituted as a direct result of the accidents as stated by the page about the GPDA.-Anonymous reader of the featured article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.19.14.44 ( talk) 05:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC).
Let's not forget that later that day in NASCAR in the Winston Cup (now NEXTEL Cup) race at Talladega Superspeedway, Alabama, it was also on the hearts and minds of the Winston Cup drivers, both with pole sitter Ernie Irvan and the eventual winner Dale Earnhardt. When Earnhardt won the race at victory lane on ESPN, Earnhardt expressed his condolences to all of the fans of Senna. The death of Senna did not get much reaction in the United States while it was international news. Interestingly enough, both Irvan and Earnhardt would suffer head injuries later in their careers. Irvan crashed during a practice run at Michigan International Speedway on August 20, 1994, but would later return to race the following season before retiring in 1999 from injuries suffered five years to the day in a wreck at Michigan. Earnhardt would die from his on the last turn of the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 and would generate as much mourning in the US, but not outside the the country like Senna's death did nearly seven years earlier. Chris 12:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi. This article says that following the Grand Prix the HANS device was brought in. This is kinda misleading as I understand the HANS system was not brought in until 2005ish (I remember the commentators saying that Montoya should be used to it as he's driven NASCAR where its been standard for years). So I dont think that the HANS introduction was directly linked with the death of Senna. Thoughts? Gringotsgoblin 16:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)gringotsgoblin
I've changed the importance scale from "High" to "Top" as per this page. Due to its significance on the sport, I cannot argue with that assessment. Not to mention, it is a Featured Article! Formulanone. one. two 20:26, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
I have just come across this website, which has a link to some photos taken by the webmaster of the Grand Prix. I can't read the disclaimer (link at the bottom of the page) as it's in Italian, but if someone contacted him about permission to use the photos, it's possible that something good could come of it.-- Diniz (talk) 22:31, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Dear fellow contributors
MOSNUM no longer encourages date autoformatting, having evolved over the past year or so from the mandatory to the optional after much discussion there and elsewhere of the disadvantages of the system. Related to this, MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether a date is autoformatted or not). MOSLINK and CONTEXT are consistent with this.
There are at least six disadvantages in using date-autoformatting, which I've capped here:
Removal has generally been met with positive responses by editors. Does anyone object if I remove it from the main text in a few days’ time on a trial basis? The original input formatting would be seen by all WPians, not just the huge number of visitors; it would be plain, unobtrusive text, which would give greater prominence to the high-value links. Tony (talk) 12:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm reading a first-hand account here link to Jalopnik that Berger was retired by the team manager and the handling problems was a ruse. How much credibility do we want to place on this? -- Guroadrunner ( talk) 06:37, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
The session was not cancelled, but delayed for about twenty-five minutes after Ratzenberger's accident (although several teams did not run afterwards). I've got a copy of Eurosport's coverage of the session. The sources used to reference the session being cancelled (Frank Williams biography and Damon Hill article) are probably derived from the fact that Williams took no further part in the session.-- Midgrid (talk) 20:37, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone have access to the official Race Classification table (formula1.com, being the current source, often tends to have erroneous information—so I wouldn't regard it as a good source)?
I specifically note the following discrepancies with my sources (major one of which in this case is the recording of the contemporary TV broadcast):
cherkash ( talk) 03:25, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
I should add that in the race results it lists Senna as retiring after 5 full laps when he had completed 6 full laps. His crash was at the beginning of lap 7. It also says he crashed on lap 6 in the actual article. For some reason this misinformation is common and I see it all the time, however if you watch the race you will clearly see six full laps occur before Senna's crash on lap 7. Furthermore, lap 6 was the lap on which he set the 3rd fastest time of the race. It would be hard to do that if he crashed at the beginning of the lap.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.152.48 ( talk) 07:51, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!

Personally, I don't think it's beneficial for the classifications table to be being changed constantly. Just look at the edit history of the last couple of years and you'll see what I mean. I tried to add some notes to prevent the random changes. That was met with, shall we say, resistance. I can't address it specifically since the other editor involved has made some pretty serious threats.
Again, in my opinion, the notes are necessary, regardless of what the consensus decision is on what the table says. Reactionary blocking of edits does not seem constructive to me. Kuguar03 ( talk) 23:50, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

I've just removed some of the imagery in the article. Much of it was duplicated by others, or didn't add to the article, also making the sections too image heavy compared to the rest of the article. I know an image is worth a thousand words, but there was a millions words going on there... Chaheel Riens ( talk) 16:37, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
I don't think this article meets modern FA requirements because it there are some comprehensiveness issues. The background just lists the points without mentioning other controversies such as Senna being adamant that Benetton had illegal technology, and then in the qualifying it only mentions about 1-2 lines about the actual competition; the rest is about tragic accidents. Some detail about qualifying and some competitors continuing after RR was killed and the race (apart from Senna's accident) is not so detailed. eg, Google came up immediately with this. Compared to more recent F1 race FAs, this one is quite thin on racing details, especially as it is likely to be ones most written about Bumbubookworm ( talk) 11:49, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

I should add that in the race results it lists Senna as retiring after 5 full laps when he had completed 6 full laps. His crash was at the beginning of lap 7. It also says he crashed on lap 6 in the actual article. For some reason this misinformation is common and I see it all the time, however if you watch the race you will clearly see six full laps occur before Senna's crash on lap 7. Furthermore, lap 6 was the lap on which he set the 3rd fastest time of the race. It would be hard to do that if he crashed at the beginning of the lap.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.152.48 ( talk) 07:51, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!

Personally, I don't think it's beneficial for the classifications table to be being changed constantly. Just look at the edit history of the last couple of years and you'll see what I mean. I tried to add some notes to prevent the random changes. That was met with, shall we say, resistance. I can't address it specifically since the other editor involved has made some pretty serious threats.
Again, in my opinion, the notes are necessary, regardless of what the consensus decision is on what the table says. Reactionary blocking of edits does not seem constructive to me. Kuguar03 ( talk) 23:50, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
The San Marino Grand Prix, as represented by the Italian flag. I'm pretty sure San Marino is not part of Italy. Ezza1995 ( talk) 13:02, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

I've just removed some of the imagery in the article. Much of it was duplicated by others, or didn't add to the article, also making the sections too image heavy compared to the rest of the article. I know an image is worth a thousand words, but there was a millions words going on there... Chaheel Riens ( talk) 16:37, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
I don't think this article meets modern FA requirements because it there are some comprehensiveness issues. The background just lists the points without mentioning other controversies such as Senna being adamant that Benetton had illegal technology, and then in the qualifying it only mentions about 1-2 lines about the actual competition; the rest is about tragic accidents. Some detail about qualifying and some competitors continuing after RR was killed and the race (apart from Senna's accident) is not so detailed. eg, Google came up immediately with this. Compared to more recent F1 race FAs, this one is quite thin on racing details, especially as it is likely to be ones most written about Bumbubookworm ( talk) 11:49, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
