: Death of Ayrton Senna: How the crash happened
Fateful decision

The crash happened on the second lap after a re-start.

Senna took a tighter line at Tamburello to ease the car’s travel over bumps that upset it on the first lap.

But at 191mph, he was going faster than the previous lap.

Combined with the altered trajectory, that more than doubled the cornering forces on the car from 1.5G to 3.27G.
