1994 was a year of real tragedy for Formula One, as the BBC's Murray Walker, announces the death of the Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger, when crashed in the qualifying on Saturday 30th April. The motor was offset by the high wind pressure during a backstraight, and crashed into a wall, dying of basal skull fracture. This was not the first death of an F1 driver since 1986, and more shock was to come, as 3-time world F1 champion Ayrton Senna crashed and died at the same course, the following day.
