Senna case closed at last

28 May 2005

At last, more than a decade after the fact, the manslaughter trial over Ayrton Senna's 1994 death is over. An Italian appeals court ruled that Williams' car designer Adrian Newey, now at McLaren, is not guilty, while the case against technical director Patrick Head timed out.

Triple world champion Senna, 34, died after he crashed at Imola's flat out Tamburello bend. After the case was reopened in 2003, this - with the original trial in 1997 and an appeal in 1999 - is effectively their third acquittal.
