“Roland was a very committed driver, and very honest both on track and off, but it’s his smile that is my enduring memory. He was a racer through and through; he lived and loved the sport” – David Brabham
.
Brabham was Roland Ratzenberger’s team mate at Simtek in 1994, when the Austrian lost his life at Imola during qualifying. Brabham made the incredibly difficult decision to race on that weekend. “It was a fight to continue but it was all done in respect to Roland.”
.
Twenty-five years on from his death, today – and always – we remember Roland Ratzenberger, 1960-1994
