"I was in a good mood there," Berger says, sarcastically.

DC: This was when you announced that you were going to continue racing, after the weekend of Imola 1994...

Berger thinks for a while. "There's not a lot to say - it was a terrible weekend. I was already a long time into the career and so I thought it's a good moment to think should I go, should I not go. But honestly this I did already on Saturday after the qualifying after Ratzenberger's accident - nothing to do with Ayrton's accident - and then I made a decision on Saturday afternoon and it was already clear before Ayrton."

DC: What made you decide to stay?

Berger: "I still just loved it so much. I said, 'do you still want to take the risks?' And I decided that yes, I do, because I just loved it so much."
