Is there any mention of the Ratzenberger crash?

The day before Senna's fatal crash, one of his colleagues had a fatal crash as well: Austrian F1-rookie Roland Ratzenberger. I believe that an Austrian flag was founf in Senna's car because he wanted to tribute a possible victory to Ratzenberger. Is there any mention of this?

Yes, there is footage of the crash in the film. There's also footage from Barrichello's shunt. As for the Austrian flag, it is mentionned in the filmed interviews found on the DVD. I think it's Reginaldo Leme that mentionned it.

Yes, they also show Ratzenberger having a chat in the pits just minutes before his fatal crash.
