ICON of Formula One Ayrton Senna told doctors he had visions of his tragic death the night before his horror crash 30-years-ago today.

Concerns started to brew in the F1 paddock on race day after the Brazilian great turned up looking “distant” and completely haunted, says fellow F1 ace Johnny Herbert.

The triple world champion died almost instantly when his Williams ran off the road at 190mph and smashed into a concrete wall on lap seven of the San Marino Grand Prix.

Senna was leading the race when he lost control at the notorious Tamburello corner and his car’s suspension crashed through his helmet.

Herbert said: “Senna feared he was going to die the night before the crash.

“He apparently had a premonition the night before that he was going to die.”
