Ayrton Senna 2 Preface I never met Ayrton Senna but I was a fan. Since his untimely death on May 1, 1994 at Imola, every book imaginable has already been written about him, except for one. The subject of that missing book is contentious because it addresses the fundamental question of what caused Senna’s car to veer off the track at 300km/h on Lap 7 of the San Marino Grand Prix. Tamburello was conceived more than fifteen years ago as a private project to fulfil my own need for understanding. The original project had grown in fits and starts and lay dormant for over a decade until its resurrection when I was approached to publish again my old material on Imola ’94. What began as minor revision of a short article has metamorphosed into a book. I’m painfully aware of the fact that - for many understandable reasons - the cause of Ayrton Senna’s accident remains a sensitive subject, but I feel an obligation towards the wider world to share what I’ve discovered. Any inaccurate assumptions or misinterpretations of proprietary design specifications, measurement inaccuracies, errors and omissions are entirely mine. Martin Zustak December 2013 3 Acknowledgements My foremost thanks to the late Christopher Hilton, whose numerous books on Senna and motor sport have been a source of inspiration. I still fondly remember our phone conversations and the visit to his family home in Hearts, UK, back in the spring of 2000. In compiling this book I have drawn background and quoted from several published works. All the relevant credits are indicated in the text and referenced in the Bibliography. For permission to quote, I formally thank Helen Wilson of The Guardian newspaper, and Graham Cook of Haynes Publishing. My most grateful thanks to Paul-Henri Cahier, who supplied the cover photo; to Remi Humbert and Joachim Kutt of GurneyFlap.com, who kindly allowed me to reproduce the close-up shots of Williams’ 1994 car; to Giorgia Buselli, Darragh Colgan, Tycho Schenkeveld, Dalin Vyskovsky, and Martin Kyncl for their generous assistance; and to all those who willingly helped but did not wish to be named in the book. Thanks, also, to the many motor racing enthusiasts whose videos on YouTube have helped massively in research. I am especially indebted to Mark Clair, the founder of RaceRecall in Victoria, Australia, for allowing me to reproduce and annotate the Mustang 350GT accident sequence. I’m most grateful to Patrizia Coluccia, the friendly Press Officer at CINECA in Italy, who kindly gave me permission to enhance the original CINECA material and videos. The book would not have been possible without her support. I owe a particular debt to Rini Ruitenschild, CEO of Hydroline Powersteering B.V. in the Netherlands, for his valuable comments and for putting me in touch with the incredible Tony Woodward, CEO of Woodward Machine Corporation in Casper, USA. Tony generously gave his time and expertise and dealt patiently with my questions about the ins and outs of power steering. This book would have been hollow without him. 4 Fact file AYRTON SENNA 1960 – Born on March 21 in Sao Paolo, Brazil, to Neyde and Milton da Silva. 1964 – Gets a go-kart from his father and inadvertently discovers a world which fulfils his inner needs for control and detail. 1979 – Go-karting race in Jesolo, Italy.

Would he accept that the world of motor Prologue racing has shied away from trying to resolve the conundrum of his death, or would he insist on going through every number, every telemetry trace, and Ayrton Senna has been dead for a generation, yet the every piece of information again until he was cause of his accident remains a mystery. The question convinced there was no new knowledge to be gained? is - does it matter? Curiosity is fundamental to the human condition, Common sense says let him rest in peace: and the surest way of attracting someone’s attention establishing the cause is a mission impossible. The to a problem is to tell them it’s not solvable. safety lessons have been learned and since the Gigabytes of data about the accident are scattered tragedy, F1 enjoyed its longest ever spell without a across cyberspace and in print but, at least outside fatality. Further analysis is not going to bring Senna the courtroom, they’ve never been brought together back or help his family, and the Italian legal system in a comprehensive fashion. This book is an attempt had its day in court but grudgingly conceded that to achieve that, and to do Senna’s legacy justice by racing cars are prototypes just like the space shuttles approaching the subject with single-mindedness and Challenger and Columbia: when people and attention to detail of which the late Brazilian would components are pushed to the limit, mistakes and hopefully approve.

  • Ok I Have Absolutely No Knowledge of Aerodynamics but Here Are My Thoughts on the Fw 26 Starting from the Front and Working
    Williams BMW FW26 Technical Review by Craig Scarborough Image Credit:Scarborough Even though McLaren had run their new car in December testing, their decision not to formally launch the car gave the privilege to Williams BMW to put on their new suits (and boots) and be the first to present their car to the world's media. For several years Williams have produced evolutionary cars and with engine rule changes and car that by the seasons end in 2003 was as fast as any, little was expected to surprise on the new car. But this was wide of the mark as the cover was drawn from the car the sharp intake of breath from the audience reflected striking nose of the new car. Clearly Williams conventional, if independent school of aerodynamics has found a completely new solution. If the nose rightly takes the spotlight, other areas of the car remain conservative with some areas revised and not receiving the attention they perhaps deserve. 2004 Rules Aside from the timetable changes to the practice and qualifying sessions, there have been few technical changes for 2004. Of these the most far reaching has been the move to a single engine per weekend format. Under previous rules precautionary engine changes were over night or following a failure, resulting in up to a handful of engine being used per car over a race weekend. With most of the teams support the FIA suggested a single engine could be used to reduce costs, applying a "10 grid place" penalty to any car requiring an engine change over the weekend.

  • F1 Debrief – You Must Drink Christine: This Is F1 Debrief, You Must Drink
    F1 Debrief – You must drink Christine: This is F1 Debrief, You Must Drink. On this show we discuss ditching the water supply, the merits of being short and what could force the FIA’s hand. The subject we have to talk about today is, well it’s a bit of a weighty issue. Mr C: A huge issue, we’re talking driver weight, or lack thereof. Christine: It’s been going on for a while but it seems to have really, really hit the consciousness of the paddock and fans this particular week, this back-to-back races. Mr C: News came out during the Malaysian Grand Prix, I think Martin Brundle mentioned that. Christine: It really wasn’t news, it was Martin Brundle stirring is what it was. Mr C: He mentioned it in passing. Christine: A driver who will remain nameless… Mr C: Yes, passed out at a PR event in Malaysia. Possibly due to the humidity experienced in that climate. That was followed swiftly by Adrian Sutil mentioning this week that he is intending to race without a drinks bottle in Bahrain. I think he did use it in Malaysia which is an exceptionally hot race but during the upcoming Grand Prix he is deciding to save as much weight as he can and thereby potentially putting his own health at risk. Christine: Yeah, well the Sauber is a heavy car and Sutil isn’t one of the lightest drivers. Mr C: He’s a tall guy. Christine: He’s a tall guy, he’s one of the heaviest drivers on the grid and this year weight is everything.

Bonnier Books Ltd, United Kingdom, 2014. Hardback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book. Legendary Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna s intensity and commitment earned him a reputation as one of the biggest names in world sport. In his brief, fiery Grand Prix career, he won 41 races and three world championships. But it was his belief, passion and raw speed that made him a global superstar - and, at times, a dramatically controversial figure. Senna felt he was the best - and his results certainly backed up his belief. But the Brazilian s rivals - most notably his McLaren team-mate, Alain Prost - were aware that his self-belief could be contentious; his utter refusal to be beaten occasionally led to colourful consequences on the track. Senna s death at the San Marino Grand Prix on 1 May 1994 stunned the world. Many books have been written since that freak accident at the wheel of a Williams 20 years ago, but none captures the warm relationship he had with McLaren, the team with which he enjoyed his greatest successes.
