Tale
Fictional miniseries based on the life of Ayrton Senna da Silva, the Brazilian racing legend who won the Formula One world championship three times. She is based on the journalists who followed Ayrton Senna’s career.
She is also fluent in Brazilian Portuguese
Also, Scodelario’s family is Brazilian and comes from Senna’s home state of Sao Paulo. The first races of Senna’s career in England are shown on a racetrack near a mountain range.
There are no mountains in England, especially in Norfolk, famous for its flat landscape
Well, it’s the best biographical series on the streaming service Netflix right now with its Brazilian partner taking centre stage! The acting is fantastic and the narration is so thorough that it’s like you were there at that moment.
I had so many memories watching the iconic races and it took me back in time
I was and still am a fan of Senna, and I cried a lot when he died, for many years I didn’t watch any F1 races. In short, it’s a must-see for F1 fans and for Senna fans it’s reliving those moments that made him fall in love not only with the driver he was, but also with the human being.
He’s a textbook athlete and sportsman!
As he always said, “it’s pure racing!”
