15 April 1997 New hearing at the trial for Senna's death.
Patrick Head and Adrian Newey were present, but only to listen. The
people heard today were Mauro Forghieri, Tommaso Carletti (formerly at
Ferrari) and prof. Enrico Lorenzini, coordinator of legal tests. First
to be heard was Forghieri, who presented technical details of the
dynamics of the accident, but said that all the information comes from
Williams' telemetry and the margin of error can be as large as 10%.
Second heard was Carletti. He said that the exam of the steering column
has revealed that it had been wealded in a very unprofessional way and
that it was already 70% cracked at the point where it was joined at the
time of the accident.
Williams', FIA's and the track's defence at this point joined forced to
claim that Carletti's results are completely different from what had
been found before.
