In 1994, 34-year-old Senna crashed into the concrete retaining wall of the San Marino Grand Prix circuit early on in the race. Such was the impact of the crash that Senna’s temporal artery had ruptured, draining him nearly of all blood in the 2 minutes it took for officials and medical staff to get him out of his car. Although he was pronounced dead later at the hospital, the official record states that he died in the impact.
