Senna (2024) - Netflix

Post

Just finished watching the new Senna series on Netflix.
Didn't know the politics behind F1 FIA and Prost is that bad.
Anyone know if these are based on facts or fictional?

Have you watched the older Senna documentary?

I'm just curious whether they're showing more of the FIA stuff than they did in that?
If I come across as blunt, I apologise, it's my ASD. Sometimes, like an F1 car aqua-planing, it gets out of my control.

I have watched a couple of episodes so far.
Have to take note that it is a Brazilian production with full support of the family so will likely not be on the side of Prost and the FIA. But I am a Senna fan so that's OK by me!
I think the budget was not massive. The Formula Ford and F3 time was filmed at a mountainous circuit (presumably in South America somewhere) which was defo not Norfolk England.
The "football hooligan" nature of the Brundle fans was also completely ridiculous and is in no way representative!
