Very sad day indeed; I was watching when Ayrton crashed. I have started playing back my recording of today's Russian F1 race and thus far I have not heard Ratzenburger mentioned, but lots about Senna. I guess that is understandable, considering Senna's achievements, but still you would think there would be some mention since both occurred in conjunction with the same event.

You are correct. I was watching that day as well. Sad day and weekend indeed. Senna was an incredibly talented driver. The battles between him and Prost were crazy.

If you have ever seen the Senna Documentary, Dr. Sid Watkins tried to talk Senna out of racing that day. I wish he'd have listened to Sid that day.
