The last one is a play on Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian F1 champion, killed while testing in Italy.

Yer, well, I was trying not to be so obvious...

BTW, Senna was not killed in testing, he died while leading the 1994 San Marino GP.

I'd have to look that up. Senna never drove for Ferrari, as much as the Tifosi would have loved him to.

Ahh. I was going to go to Google Maps to see if there were towns with the same name as the drivers' surnames. I knew they were all F1 champs. I didn't catch the Ayton Senna though.

Not sure if it was for Ferrari but I think it was Roland Ratzenburger who was killed in practice for the same GP.

Looking's safe, it's when the next step is taken that blindness becomes a risk. Of course, one could stop when one needs glasses. :eek2:
