The Spanish Grand Prix has designed a Brazilian-Austrian flag it will display on the podium of its race next weekend as a nod to a poignant tribute which fate prevented from happening.
May 1 is 25 years since Ayrton Senna, widely regarded as the greatest driver in F1's history, was killed after crashing while leading in the early stages of the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. The day before, Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger had been killed during qualifying at the Imola circuit.
It was later discovered Senna had taken an Austrian flag into the cockpit with him, which he had planned to unfurl and wave after the race.
