RUBENS WAS ABLE TO WALK AWAY
MEMORIES can fade over three decades.
But Rubens Barrichello never recalled the crash that killed his great friend and mentor Ayrton Senna to begin with.
Triple world champion Senna died 30 years ago today in a smash while racing in the 1994 San Marino GP at Imola.
Two days before, Barrichello had barely survived his own crash - the first of three huge accidents on the darkest race weekend in Formula One history.
He was 'dead' for several minutes but medics managed to revive him.
Roland Ratzenberger, whose fatal crash occurred in qualifying on the Saturday, and Senna were not so lucky.
The impact suffered by Brazilian Barrichello was so hard that he cannot remember the accidents or being a pallbearer at Senna's funeral four days after his death.
