Ayrton Senna da Silva (21 March 1960 – 1 May 1994) was a Brazilian racing driver who won three Formula One world championships for McLaren in 1988, 1990 and 1991 and is regarded as one of the greatest Formula One drivers of all time. He was killed in an accident while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix for Williams. At the time of his death, he was found with an Austrian flag, which he had planned to fly (against the rules, too) to honor the life of Roland Ratzenberger, who died the previous day (22 years ago TODAY based upon when I've written this comment)
This was in a time where your life was in the line every time you went on the track and one mistake made the news. This should have been the last death in F1 and they should have learnt from his crash
RIP. We will not forget you
Jules Lucien André Bianchi (3 August 1989 – 17 July 2015) was a French motor racing driver who drove for the Marussia F1 Team in the FIA Formula One World Championship. He was an excellent driver
Heroically rescued by David Purley, unfortunately he wasn't lucky.
Tragically a loss to all open wheeled racing fans alike. Modest likeable personality yet aggressive on track and had better than average results. Died of an infield retaining wall accident.
Peter Perfect was a v8 supercar driver in Australia. Died in a Targa rally in Tasmania
He was killed in an accident while racing his snowmobile across a rough terrain. He will always be remembered as the ultimate face of motorsports as well as the man that invented skate shoes (with his brand DC Shoes). R.I.P. (1967-2023).
A guy who was really fighting to be in the Formula 1
