Involvement With Ayrton Senna
Patrick Head is the man that the Italian Courts decided was ultimately responsible for the death of Ayrton Senna at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
The verdict of the court states; "It has been determined that the accident was caused by a steering column failure. This failure was caused by badly designed and badly executed modifications. The responsibility of this falls on Patrick Head, culpable of omitted control".
Even being found responsible for Senna's accident, Patrick Head was not arrested: in Italy the statute of limitations for manslaughter is 7 years and 6 months, and the final verdict was pronounced 13 years after the accident.

Famous quotes containing the word involvement:
“In the planning and designing of new communities, housing projects, and urban renewal, the planners both public and private, need to give explicit consideration to the kind of world that is being created for the children who will be growing up in these settings. Particular attention should be given to the opportunities which the environment presents or precludes for involvement of children with persons both older and younger than themselves.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
