Berger was lucky to escape with a few bums and bruises three years ago when he had an identícal crash to Senna. The reason behind the crash is stili unknown!

These deaths may force the bosses of motor racing to reconsider t OÖLT- ^ . the aforementioned rule changes, but isn*t it a little late for that, 1 after losing their top driver? Some people are saying ban Formula One, but that will not solve much, racing drivers need the adrenahn rush, like a drug addict needs drugs. The drivers, mechanics, designers, engineers will all go elsewhere to get 50p their kicks, for example iberica* s Indy Car Championship.
