16 December 1997 The six people on trial for the death of
Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna have all been found not guilty of his
death. They are: Frank Williams, Patrick Head and Adrian Newey (the two
technicians of the Williams team who had designed and carried out the
modifications to the steering column), Roland Bruynseraede (the FIA
inspector who had approved the Imola track for racing), Federico
Bendinelli and Giorgio Poggi (members of the management of the Imola
circuit).
Three years after the death of Senna the trial is over. The trial ran
from February and has generated lots of attention and harsh controversy,
including a threat from members of FIA to exclude the Italian circuits
from hosting F1 GPs and all other types of motor racing competitions
over which FIA have control.
