The chief investigator, Enrico Lorenzini, has denied telling a British 
newspaper that a badly welded steering rod was to blame for the death of 
Ayrton Senna. Lorenzini said: "I didn't say that and I'm not saying that.' 
He added that details of his 700-page report into the crash were sub-judice.
The professor of engineering at bologna university said it was in his o
pinion the braking of the steering column the reason for the crash but 
"how or why is another matter."
