Photos taken at the Imola GP 1994 after the Sunday morning warm-up. Hours later, Senna crashed fatally.

Niki Lauda and Ayrton Senna's last conversation.

"I went to Senna in his motorhome on Sunday morning, and he was sitting in there, reading the Bible. I said, 'Listen, I have to talk to you.' (I was not a driver anymore, I was the advisor to Ferrari at the time.)

'You are the number one driver of this generation. You have to do something about safety. You cannot just let these things happen.'

And he listened to me very carefully, and said, 'You're right, we have to be careful now, with the speeds these cars are going, that safety keeps on developing.'

And I convinced him that he was the master of the group. That he was the only one who could move things along."

Niki Lauda and Clay Regazzoni model some formalwear whilst signing a watch promotional deal.

I’m loving Regga’s wonderfully detailed dogtooth-check jacket, and Niki’s dainty fingerwave hairdo.
