Reclining Lynne


Monza - 1988

A momentous day. Enzo Ferrari had died since the last Grand Prix, and the tifosi gathered at their spiritual home in the wake of his passing.

The Ferraris had had a very poor season, with terrible reliability, but this afternoon, it all changed, and with a few laps to go, they were second and third.

Then, Ayrton, with a massive lead and cruising to his first World Championship, was speared off at the chicane by a back-marker, and the impossible had happened...

Into the parabolica
