 E' da rifare il processo d'appello per la morte di Ayrton Senna. Lo ha
Non credo di avere la pazienza necessaria per ascoltare impassibile
altri lunghi mesi di oscenitŕ.
Con l'appello "assolti per non aver commesso il fatto" č diventato un
"perchč il fatto non sussiste" che pesa come un macigno. E adesso?
Da buon pessimista prevedo tutto il male possibile. Certo poter tornare
anche solo al risultato ottenuto in primo grado sarebbe un importante
passo avanti verso la giustizia, basta crederci...

La verità è stata accertata?
Trovo storicamente squallido da parte di Williams e del suo entourage aver
scaricato le colpe dell'incidente a Senna e alla pista. Non è stato un
gesto nè di rispetto verso il pilota nè verso l'accertamento della verità,
unico fine del processo.

The 'trial' is not a trial in the British sense of the term. In other
words, the prosecutors have not yet decided that they know, in any
definitive way, what caused the accident. The Imola trial is instead
merely a further stage of the investigation, at which various people who
could plausibly have cases to answer will be formally asked the relevant
questions in an attempt to get closer to the truth.
Senna requested the modification in the steering wheel position to make
possible a clear view of the dashboard. The work was done and accordingly
specialists think supposed bad work on the weld caused a premature fatigue
failure in the column material, causing Senna to lose control at
Tamburello corner.
The Williams lawyer in Italy's representative office, Robert Causo, told
the newspaper Gazetta dello Sport:
"This is absolutely not how things happened. We have proof that it gave
way (the steering column) after the impact and not before."
An experts report for Bologna prosecutor Maurizio Passarini, who led the
investigations into Senna's death, concluded that the car's steering
column had been modified and snapped as a result of a poor weld as the
vehicle took the curve.
The Williams team has argued that the steering column was intact until the
moment of impact.
"Tamburello," said Keke Rosberg, at the time of the disaster, "was a
heart-in-the-mouth corner, a place where you feared something would go
wrong, because it was flat out, and the run-off area was nothing."
"But it was not a difficult corner - you just turned in, and hung on. It
was never a place where a driver, yet alone one of Ayrton's ability, would
go off because of a mistake."
Williams' defence lawyer Oreste Dominioni immediately rejected the
accusation that the car was at fault, claiming that the state of the track
was to blame and that investigators had failed to carry out proper tests
on its surface.
"They should have determined whether the characteristics of the course
were such as to make the car lose stability and leave the track," he said
and called for a new technical investigation of the circuit.
The Williams lawyer stated he would be able to demonstrate that the column
had broken after the crash and not before.
Martini said: A driver like Ayrton Senna didn't go off the track at that
point unless there was a problem. A lot of things can happen during a
race, but in this particular case I don't know what the problem could have
been. Drivers took the curve at 300km/h and there was a small dip in the
middle of the track which disturbed the cars. The bump effect was
perfectly normal and is common to every racing circuit in the world.
Martini felt he could not say that the Tamburello bump had caused Senna to
veer off the track. There was only one line into Tamburello and the bump
could not be avoided without leaving the track. He added that Senna's fast
lap time indicated that his tyres were fully warmed up.
Hill's testimony appears to support that of Williams defence lawyers who
in March claimed that Senna's death was due to anomalies in the asphalt
track surface.
When faced with a bombardment of questions from state prosecutor Maurizio
Passarini, Hill repeatedly answered:
"I cannot remember, it was too long ago."
The ex-Formula One driver, Michele Alboreto, testified in court today that
he believed Senna's fatal crash was caused by a mechanical failure in the
car and not a fault of of the race track itself.
"I hope this trial will come to the defence of a man, a great driver, who
is no longer with us.
"Shortly after his death I heard ridiculous stories -- that the crash was
caused by Ayrton fainting or because he was thinking about his fiancee.
"Senna deserves the recognition that he was not to blame for his own
death. I don't want to see anyone go to prison, but his memory must be
protected and I find it annoying when people attempt to defend positions
which are indefensible."
Then Passarini produced a new video regarding the evidence. The
circumference traced from the yellow button was relative to the movements
of the chassis, whereas just before the crash the yellow button lowers to
the level of the V, which is a deflection of 28mm.
Acting for Frank Williams and Patrick Head, lawyer Oreste Dominioni has
asked for a testimony from David Coulthard who at the time of Senna's
death was a test driver for the Williams team.
Coulthard gave a written statement saying that the amount of movement seen
on the steering wheel of Senna's car was normal.
Coulthard's statement is in direct contradiction to that given by Alboreto.
Alboreto's testimony, which was very direct and impassioned, stated that
movement is allowed, considering the torsion inflicted by the arms of the
driver and the composition of the material. Oscillation could depend on
the distance from the support, but only by 2-3 millimetres, not by some
centimetres. He added that this opinion was formed from his many years of
experience of the Imola circuit and others around the world.
Outside the courtroom Alboreto said he was convinced that Senna's crash
was caused by mechanical failure and not driver error. He stated that he
was semi-retired and that fact allowed him to speak freely.
He added: People involved in F1 don't want to be thought hostile towards
the environment. No one will go to prison for this, and that is logical as
the whole sport entails risks hardly avoidable. But this trial is obliged
to at least defend the memory of two drivers, I talk also of Ratzenberger,
they cannot defend themselves. It bothers me that in all this people are
defending positions which are indefensible.
Frank Williams said: "We as a company formed the opinion that the steering
column did not break. This was decided after examining the telemetry
readings and also a lot of simulations."
Almost certainly with a view to undermining comments made earlier by Frank
Williams, Passarini made a point of highlighting the fact that after the
race restart, Senna clocked what would prove to be the third fastest lap
of the race.
In March Stefano Stefanini, the head of Bologna's traffic accident unit,
testified that Senna with a fully loaded car clocked 1min 24.887sec, only
two drivers bettered it - and that was at the end of the race.
Last week, after his appearance in court, Frank Williams speculated that a
loss of tyre pressure, due to the cooling of the tyres whilst following
the safety car, could have caused Senna's loss of control.
Patrick Head
The final session for the defence came on November 18 with closing
statements from Head's lawyers, Dominioni and Gandossi.
Dominioni's strategy was to try and dissect the prosecution's case. He
launched his lengthy attack, against the prosecution's technical advisors,
saying that Passarini had never asked them whether a lack of stability in
Senna's car, caused by the track surface, could have caused the fatal
crash.
Dominioni told the court: "Passarini's reconstruction of the incident
which cost the life of Ayrton Senna has no basis in proof, it is unfounded
and those accused must be cleared."
He said that the steering column of Senna's was the same as Damon Hill's,
both having been designed prior to the start of the 1994 racing season.
The fatigue on the piece denounced by the prosecution should have been
revealed at 350 thousand cycles (a cycle is any fit application which
provokes wear on the part); but the steering column, inspected after the
first two GP's of that season, had experienced 27 thousand cycles, a value
clearly lower than the safety limit.
The question then is: when and why, because up to the last control check
with the penetrating liquids this had not been highlighted.
"Unfortunately, in life exists the unpredictable, the unforeseen event and
the inexplicable," he said.
There are contradictions within the prosecution's case, above all those of
Forghieri over the pressures of the tyres. The experts tell of two
undulations, that then become one and at the end three, but they don't
mention the more important one at the time of 11"24 that caused the
problem with Senna's car, as shown by the telemetry.
On the fundamental point of the tyre pressure, the experts called by the
prosecution have relied on presumptive evaluations and not actual data.
Goodyear disagree with Forghieri. The reconstructions done by the
prosecution are wrong. The temporal logic and dynamics of the incident,
that began at the time of 11"24 in consequence of a violent collision on
the track, caused one swerve of the car, and resultant oversteer as Senna
tried to correct.
Here the prosecution maintain that the steering column broke because the
Williams veered to the right, and in the 60 metres off the track Senna
didn't try to steer. Not because the wheels didn't react to the steering,
but because Senna with great clarity kept the wheels straight to achieve
the best possible braking.
It is useless to compare the Friday session times with those of the
accident because conditions were unequal. As Senna's on-board camera was
not of fixed rigidity the film cannot be relied upon due to optical
illusions.
Alboreto accused Coulthard of not speaking the truth regarding the
oscillations of the Williams' steering wheel, he is in turn unreliable and
prejudiced.
I therefore ask for the acquittal of Williams and Head for they have not
committed any crime. The incident didn't occur through the breaking of the
steering column.
Dominioni said that the cause of Senna's fatal loss of control was still
unknown. He reiterated the theory given by Frank Williams, who earlier had
stated that Ayrton Senna's crash could have been the result of a
combination of cold tyres and the uneven track surface.
On November 22 1999 the Court of Appeal in Bologna absolved Patrick Head
and Adrian Newey from all charges regarding the death of Ayrton Senna.

Scusa, posso chiederti qual'č il tuo parere sulla faccenda.

 seen on the steering wheel of Senna's car was normal.
....
Perdonate, sono nero per motivi diciamo...lavorativi, inoltre leggere
questa sintesi non fa che ricordarmi che devo rimettermi a lavorare
sulla mia, cosa davvero penosa, per cui adesso qualcosa a ruota libera
devo scriverlo
Alla fine sono sempre più portato a pensare che buona parte del casino
che ha circondato questo processo è sorto da una specie di malinteso.
Quando le immagini del Ccar di Senna sono state fatte sparire da
"qualcuno" subito dopo la gara non era affatto previsto che quel
materiale scomodo venisse in messo in circolazione. E la difesa della
Williams costruiva la sua teoria del sovrasterzo partendo da questa
certezza di inquinamento delle prove; per il resto una centralina
l'avevano loro ma era, emh, guasta, la seconda l'aveva cancellata la
Renault, dalle riprese esterne TV non si poteva vedere nulla....Si,
restavano solo le perizie sul piantone.
Quando nell'ottobre '94 "qualcuno" ha pensato bene di regalare al mondo
l'ultimo giro di pista di Ayrton, forse per incomprensione, forse per
analisi troppo superficiali, ha diffuso in mondovisione un video
troncato di solo pochi secondi. Un video più che sufficiente a fornire
le prove oggettive non solo dell'assenza di controsterzi verso destra
ma direttamente della frattura del piantone dello sterzo. Qui è iniziato
il vero casino, perchè si può testimoniare qualunque bestialità, ma la
verità è li, sotto gli occhi di tutti.
