168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sebastian Vettel has described his special demo run in tribute to Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at Imola was “one of the strongest emotions I’ve felt behind the wheel” of an F1 car.

Senna and Ratzenberger were tragicaꦫlly killed 30 years ago in separate incidents at the 1994 San Mar♍ino Grand Prix on what is regarded as being F1’s darkest weekend in history.

Four-time world champion Vettel returned to the F1 paddock in Imola to lead🦹 tributes to Senna, hosting a track run on Thursday with drivers from F1, F2 and F3 ꦚwearing ‘Forever’ shirts in the Brazilian’s iconic colours.

Vettel then took Senna’s last race-winning McLaren 1993 MP48 F1 ⛦for laps of honour around the track on Sunday ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, paying respect to both Senna and Ratzenberger by waving the Brazilian and Austrian flags.

Vettel had tears in his eyes when he got out of the car and admitted ﷺhe was overwhelmed by the emotion of the occasion.

“It’s difficult to put in words – it was one of the strongest emotions I’v💃e felt behind the wheel despite being alone on track and not even racing.꧃ Incredible,” Vettel told media including at Imola.

“When I got the flags out it was s𝓰o powerful. We had a very str💖ong and emotional moment on Thursday when we ran the track and another one today.

“It’s overwhelming and I’m happy that I had the courage to address my idea and come forward and invite the Senn✱a family on the idea. We only got positive feedback and it see🍰med like the right thing to do.

“Ayrton is a driver t♌hat will be remembered, but we need to make sure we actively do so. That weekend as well, Roland lost his life – two drivers who are sort of colleagues of mine but I never had the chance to meet them. It means so much more th෴an just racing.”

Asked how special it was to wave the Austrian flag, some🌌thing that Senna planned to do before his fateful crash, Vettel replied: “Exactly. Obviously the Brazilian flag was clear because it was something he used to do after the races, but I know the same story.

“I was thinking about whether it was the right thing to do to finish the job, but I don’t think it will ever be finishedജ and it’s not about finis🌸hing. But again, to try to make people remember and it felt very special when I got both flags out.

“It was a very special and very meaningful weekend for me, with the run on Thursday and again the run on track, sharing that with people in the grandstands because there were a lot of Brazilian flags out there as wღell.”
