    Excellent film - Senna was a pure racing genius at a time when it was about the driver over the car. I have NEVER seen anyone adapt to wet driving conditions as well as he did. Memories fade and the thing that I had forgotten was the whole nightmare of that Imola weekend and all the accidents leading up to Ayrton crashing.

    Superb racing car driver who had to fight the politics of a French head of F1 as well as Prost who kept deliberately cutting him up. I don't think you will ever see another like him - this was a "must watch" film for me although I knew how torn up I would feel by the end of it.

    Didn't Senna once ram Prost off the track on the starting grid?

    They've both taken each other out. Purposefully. Sounds like the film could be some what biased if you're left with the feeling that Prost is the ******. Senna was as bad as anyone who has ever driven as far as ruthlessness and doing anything (and I mean anything) in order to win goes. Much worse than most.

    I'm sure it's a great film and I'm looking forward to seeing it, but although Senna was an amazing racer, he was never one of my favourites because, frankly, he was a complete lovely person.

    where you put them is the place to stick F1 if you ask me, most boring sport in the universe.

    mansell was allways my favorite racing driver he was a real racer would take more risks than any driver and should have won the world title 3 times but didn,t due to bad luck!Anyone remember the senna, mansell dual at monaco when mansells tyre burst and he chased senna for 10 laps but couldn,t get past,best race i ever saw,far better racing than what it is now.

    It is very interesting, especially so for me, as i'm an F1 fan, who is just too young to remember Ayrton Senna. Brilliant viewing.
