'Senna' is an incredible look back at Ayrton's life from karting through to his tragic fatal accident in 1994. There was so much I hadn't seen or heard before, being a bit too young at the time, but I always remember the accident itself; where I was, how I felt, the extraordinarily long time he was left in the car before the medical team arrived, the reaction of the other drivers and the worldwide public grief over the loss of the greatest F1 racing driver.
This movie/documentary tells of Ayrton's struggle against his competitors, predominantly Alain Prost and the FIA. It shows you the man underneath the race suit. I won't lie to you, it's emotional. I cried, a lot, but I'm so glad I saw it. To relive the great ones F1 career, the ups and downs, how the move to F1 and becoming 3 time world champion changed him, but also how grounded and humble he was.
There are moments of joy, surprise, humour, love and, of course, loss. He was a great man and what a great way to remember him.
Long live Ayrton. Nice blog...
