You obviously have more knowledge than me. I was only 12 when he died but knew the name despite not being a fan of f1. Please don't get me wrong thinking im putting Senna down. Im not as I've no place to. I enjoyed the film despite not liking f1. Senna seemed a hybrid of ultimate professional, religious man, family man, patriot, enigma and playboy.
I thought it was class when one scene he was on a Brazilian new years programme saying he can't say what he wanted for new year as it was censored and the next shot is him trackside with the female presenter.
Nice touch at the end prost being a patron for his sisters charity.
no, no, not at all. I'm a passionate fan of F1 so have learnt as much as I can about the history and watched the old races and classic moments etc, I was only a little lad when he died so I've done all my growing up on Schumacher/Hakkinen etc. so I've only watched the tapes of Senna, but yeah, he was that talented and he was that good, and on Prost, well even if he hated Senna's guts out, regardless of whether Ayrton had died or not there's more to life than an on track rivalry and its good he's moved on, we can all be cunts at various points in our lives, Senna was a "personality" which like Mario could rub some people, particularly those in authority, the wrong way, but geniuses are never boring, are they?
Makes it all the more joyous to watch the players we have and the likes of Messi, they're my generation of superstars who in 10/20 years time we'll be take the young lot how good they were ;).

Does every thread have to have idiots in? Every fucking thread is spoilt.
