3 April 1997 Senna's trial: Mr Spiga managed to find the right type of connectors and could connect them to the Williams black box. At this point Mr Stirano (Williams own black box expert) informed him that a special ram card was required to read the data. The prosecution then attacked Stirano and Williams for failing to inform the magistrates of this fact earlier and for not providing one of these cards. Mr Gandossi, Williams' lawyer, said that this fact was known already from May 94. Stirato said that he will provide a ram card.
The film elaborated by Cineca was also presented at the trial. The technical details on how it was produced were explained.
The trial will start again on 15 April, when Forghieri, Carletti and Lorenzini will be heard. On 24 April Ecclestone will be heard at the trial and Hill on the 28th, after the GP.
