Roland Ratzenberger
Discussion
I have the broadcast of the GP on tape.
The tape has not seen the light of day since 1 May 1994.
It never will.
The weekend was truly dreadful. Rubens accident on Friday, Roland's death on Saturday. The start line accident on Sunday.
And then that final fateful lap.......
I have always believed that race should have been red-flagged after the first lap accident with the cars being parked before they passed the wreckage.
It wasn't so we have to accept that.
However i can't help but wonder what might have happened had the race been stopped.
Sadly we will never know.
RIP Rowland.

Sid Watkins did all that he could to talk Ayrton out of racing in the GP on Sunday.
He failed, Ayrton took the start & didn't return.
The sad thing is that we never know how Roland would have developed over the next few years.
He seemed to have the potential to turn into a decent racer & yet he never had the opportunity to progress.
Another lost talent I think.
