To me, one of the most iconic images of F1 came back in 1991....

Not exactly a picture but this sums up F1 for me how it should be

Couldn't find a still picture.

I ummed and ahhd about posting this but it's fairly evocative/iconic in that we may have become a bit blasé about the fact that drivers ultimately risk their lives for our entertainment and this brings a touch of reality to all the 1 finger salutes.

Which leads me on to this.

A terrible weekend. At least Rubens went on to fight (many) another day...

Still gives me goosbumps looking at that, I can remember the noise too, vroom, klink, smash, silence.

Can I slip this one, the M2B - first point scoring McLaren

MCLS I know what you mean. I took that screenshot from a video. We all know when it was taken. I think it tells you more than a thousand words. I don't want to be overinterpreting, but it seems that you can feel, that he fears something might/could/will happen.
I don't know if I saw that in the Senna movie or somewhere, but I remember Alain Prost saying that Senna approached him during the Imola 94 weekend asking him to come back, because he would rather have his old rival back than having to fight against the "cheating" Benetton team. That's pretty intense stuff considering their mutual history.
I know there is no connection between that Prost/Benetton stuff and this picture, but to me all those things (incl. the accidents of Rubens and Ratzenberger) all add up in that expression, which makes it very powerful and iconic to me. And it makes me sad.
