Ayrton Senna: F1 tributes icon 25 years on from Imola tragedy

It is now a quarter of a century since Ayrton Senna's tragic death due to injuries suffered in a crash at the Tamburello corner at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

Senna's passing remains one of the most prominent flashbulb memories in the history of Formula 1, as the biggest star of the sport at that time was killed.

The Brazilian remains regarded as one of F1's all-time greats to this day – with many current stars on the grid name-checking Senna as a source of inspiration.

His standing among his successors on the grid remains clear, as evidenced by the outpouring of tributes 25 years on from the end of his life.
