Williams technical director Patrick Head and former chief designer Adrian Newey must face court for a third time over the death of Ayrton Senna. The triple world Formula One champion died after crashing his Williams at Imola in 1994, during the San Marino Grand Prix.
Head and Newey were acquitted of culpable homicide charges after a trial in Bologna in 1997, and that verdict was upheld by an appeals court in 1999.
But today, Italy's highest appeals court annulled the appeal verdict due to "material errors" and ordered the hearing be held again. A spokesman for the Williams team could not be contacted this morning.
