It's 30 years since the death of Formula One driver, Ayrton Senna.

The three time world champion died in a crash at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix in Imola, Italy. The Brazilian icon was just 34-years-old at the time.

Following his death, major safety changes in Formula One were introduced.

Matt Pintus has been delving into the BBC World Service archives to find first person accounts of the tragedy.

You'll hear from Senna's manager, Julian Jakobi, and from one of the first people on the scene of the crash, Professor Sid Watkins.
