Ayrton Senna Documentary Film

A new documentary film will begin getting shot in May about the formula one career of Ayrton Senna. The film is being made by Working Title productions who have made several small budget but successful films such as About A Boy and Four Weddings And A Funeral. This undertaking is a new direction for them but no doubt they will probably do a good job. Formula One Management (FOM) has given permission to use old footage and the film is fully endorsed by the Senna family.

I am excited about seeing some old race footage on the big screen. The likes of which we will never have seen. I just hope they don’t make Senna out to be a saintly person. Or for that matter make him seem like a mad control freak or overtly religious. But to show him as the loveable, complicated, passionate, flawed genius that I think most F1 fans remember him and loved him as.
