EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photo print, we see Max Mosley, the FIA President and former part-owner of Simtek Research, waiting solemnly in the Simtek garage. The atmosphere is heavy with grief as Nick Wirth, the Simtek Team Principal, engages in a conversation with Roland Ratzenberger. Tragically, it was during Saturday qualifying at the San Marino Grand Prix on 1 May 1994 that Ratzenberger lost his life in a devastating accident. The image captures a moment frozen in time - a snapshot of both sorrow and resilience within the Formula One world championship. Mosley's expression reflects the weight of loss felt by everyone present that day. As an influential figure in motorsport, he stands as a symbol of strength amidst tragedy. Ratzenberger's untimely death serves as a somber reminder of the risks involved in this high-speed sport. His passing sent shockwaves through the racing community and prompted important discussions about safety measures within Formula One. This photograph not only immortalizes those affected by this fatal incident but also pays tribute to Ratzenberger's contribution to motorsport history. It serves as a testament to his passion for racing and reminds us all of the sacrifices made by those who dare to pursue their dreams on these dangerous tracks
