Thirty years on Ecclestone regrets causing upset over Senna’s death

Pundits: Ramasamy’s anti-Pakatan campaign will chip away at KKB majority, but not enough for a Perikatan upset on May 11

Senna’s death at the age of 34 came a day after Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger had been killed in the second qualifying session at Imola. In fact, it was not until nearly four and a half hours after the accident, that Senna was pronounced dead in hospital.“It caused unnecessary trouble,” admitted a sorrowful Ecclestone who had been on friendly terms with Senna and his family, and travelled to Brazil for the funeral.“Ayrton used to ring my children late at night in Brazil and chat with them,” said the 93-year-old Englishman.

Ecclestone, who over several decades transformed Formula One into a global multi-billion-dollar commercial giant, said Senna was very much his own man.“He was a really complete person, who had his principles and his own way to think about things.As for where he stands as a driver Ecclestone says he was competing in a much more competitive era than is the case at the moment with Senna tussling with Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet.“I do not think anyone dominated as Max is today.
