Marino Grand Prix (formally the 14° Gran Premio di San Marino) was a
Formula One motor race held on May 1, 1994 at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino
Ferrari, Imola, Italy. It was the third race of the 1994 Formula One
season. Events at this race proved to be a major turning point in both
the 1994 season, and in the development of Formula 1 itself,
particularly with regard to safety. The race weekend was marred by the
deaths of Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger and of three-time world
champion Ayrton Senna in separate accidents. Other incidents saw driver
Rubens Barrichello injured and several mechanics and spectators injured.
BBC Television commentator Murray Walker described it as "the blackest
day for Grand Prix racing that I can remember". Michael Schumacher won
the restarted race. In the press conference following the race,
Schumacher said that he "couldn't feel satisfied, couldn't feel happy"
with his win following the events that had occurred during the race
weekend. Nicola Larini scored the first points of his career when he
achieved a podium finish in second position. Mika Häkkinen finished
third.
