The prosecutor general dealing with the manslaughter ꦏtrial over the death of Formula One legend A🦩yrton Senna has asked that proceedings against Patrick Head and Adrian Newey be halted - some eleven years after the three-time F1 World Champion was killed in an accident at Imola.

In only his third race for Williams, Senna wa🌠s leading the 1994 San Marino GP when his car went straight on at the high-speed Tamburello corner and speared into the barriers, with the Brazilian succumbing to massive injuries the day after Simtek driver Roland Ratzenberger had also lost his 𓂃life and days after Rubens Barrichello had miraculously escaped injury on what is described by many as the darkest weekend in F1 history.

Charges of manslaughter were filed against both Head and Newey - then technical director and chief designer respectively at the Williams team - in relation to Senna's death, although both were aquitted of the charges following a trial🍃 in 1997, a decision which then upheld by an appeals court two ye♏ars later.

However, that decision was overturned in 2003 when Italy's highest appeal court ruled that the case should be re-heard due to what were described as 'material errors' - but according to the Italian news agency ansa.it a state prosecutor has asked that proceedings be halted as too much time has now passed for charges to be brou🉐ght against either Head or Newey.
