The trouble is, the instant someone says "great chap" you know that 1. they didn't actually know Senna before this film and 2. more importantly, they've been very mislead by a particularly biased film.

Think all the shit and flak Lewis Hamilton is getting now. Double that, then you have Senna. But people like(d) Senna.

I don´t mean to offend the Senna fans, but to me, this is just another "turn a dead celebrity into money" project. This guy was a great sportsman and a great person, no doubt about that. But making a movie out of this is a little over the top.

Some people like Hamilton, dangerous driving actually makes F1 almost interesting ;)

Senna says.. winning is more important than life itself. and it shows in this film.

people may find f1 uninteresting, bet he was the guy who inspired just just racing drivers.. but his ENTIRE country, in same way football team did.

when he was racing, up against mansell.. so wanted mansell to win... at the time... Gb win yay etc...

but when you look back on it.. you realise just how much of a racer he was... took sport to its limits and ultimately pays price. but would he have cared? probably not.

I actually watched his crash live on BBC... when the commentary team go a bit quiet you know there's a problem... even before end of race CEEFAX (remember that) had news he was dead.. rest of that race was a farce as the drivers knew as well.

too many F1 drivers win because of best car. Vettel for instance.. or Schumey... Senna won because he RACED!!

a must see at one point of your life or other, regardless of if you like sport
