On February 20 next year, barely two weeks before the start of the new season, Frank Williams and five other men will be brought to trial on manslaughter charges arising from the death of Ayrton Senna at Imola in May 1994. To some, perhaps even some in the Williams team, the news will come as a relief, a preliminary indication that we may be about to find out what really happened in those few seconds before Senna's Williams-Renault hit the wall at the Tamburello corner in the San Marino Grand Prix and his helmet was pierced by a metal suspension rod. It is better that than his death should be shrouded in rumour and innuendo for years to come, fertile ground for ever-widening speculation. Patrick Head, the Williams technical director and another of those indicted, has already spoken of his desire to take the stand to disprove the theory that one of the greatest grand prix drivers was killed because of the failure of a weld on his car's steering column. Last night, though, Formula One was in turmoil, bracing itself for a season of chaos with other teams running scared of appearing at the two Italian races scheduled for next year lest any misfortune should befall their ivers. Flavio Briatore, the Benetton managing director and one of the most influential men in the sport, has already threatened to withdraw both Jean Alesi and Gerhard Berger from the San Marino Grand Prix on April 27 and the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on September 7. "I would not risk bringing my team to a country that can convict you for an accident," Briatore said recently at the Bologna Motor Show. "Fatality is part of the game as well." Briatore, an Italian, also owns the Ligier team, which would put its participation at the events in doubt as well. There was no comment last night from either Max Mosley, the president of the International Motor Sport Federation (FIA) or Bernie Ecclestone, the president of the Formula One Constructors' Association (FOCA), but Ken Tyrrell, the veteran team owner, hinted that other teams would be nervous about racing in Italy in the light of last night's developments. "The fact that this can happen to the Williams team," Tyrrell said, "a professional team where every screw and nut and bolt is secured, a team with a reliability record that is impeccable, raises the question 'what chance is there for the rest of us'? If an accident can happen to them, it can happen to anybody. I have no doubt that the teams will be getting together to decide what action to take. It is a matter for great concern because it could affect motor racing around the world." The Williams team's lawyer, Roberto Causo, would not confirm whether Williams, Head and Adrian Newey, the chief designer of Senna's car, would appear at the trial which will be held in Imola. A conviction for manslaughter under Italian law, which requires that someone be held responsible for any violent death, carries a maximum prison sentence of five years. Most of those found guilty, though, receive suspended sentences. The Williams team, who had been expecting the news for the past ten days, released an official statement from its headquarters in Grove, Oxfordshire, regretting the news of the charges. "We do not believe that the charges are well founded," it said, "and intend to do all that is necessary to defend our position." Federico Bendinelli, an official of the company that runs the track, Giorgio Foggi, director of the track at the time of the accident, and Roland Bruinseraede, the director of that season's Formula One races were the other people accused. The charges have caused consternation throughout the sport because there is no precedent for them. Colin Chapman, the owner of the Lotus team, was pressured by the Italian authorities after the death of his driver, Jochen Rindt, at Monza in 1970. He did not return the following year and Lotus raced under the name Worldwide Racing for that grand prix before things returned to normal. Some form of compromise may be reached this year, too, of course, but last night the 1997 Formula One season was skulking under a dark cloud before it had even begun. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.20 [NR] --- PCBoard (R) v15.23/100 * Origin: Greater Hamilton BBS 1:259/106 (905)575-5363 (1:259/106) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 142 AUTO RACING Ref: E1200003 Date: 12/28/96 From: GEORGE SIKOU Time: 04:23am \/To: KRISTOF VAN HEES (Read 5 times) Subj: internet sites?
