The incident dates back to 1992, when during a practice session of Belgian Grand Prix, the world of Formula One witnessed the one of the best act of sportsmanship. Erik Comas lost control of his Ligier and crashed at Blanchimont heavily. The impact of the collision was so severe that it made the Frenchman unconscious. Ayrton Senna was the very next man in the scene who halted his car and ran to save the fellow driver while the rest of the drivers continued racing.

Senna turned off his car and held his head upright to avoid further complications. He supported Comas until the medical personnel came into the scene. In an interview later Comas said "I have no memories of that moment, there are images that I saw later. My memory stopped a few seconds before my crash. After the impact, it seems that there were some leaks of fuels so the risk was high. In a few seconds it could have exploded, yes, probably, so Ayrton Senna saved my life, yes."
