Laura Harrison, Kai Scodelario’s character, is fictional
Story
A fictional mini-series about the life of Ayrton Senna da Silva, the legend of Brazilian racing, who won the Formula 1 world championship three times. It is based on the materials of journalists who covered the career of Ayrton Senna. In addition, the Scodelario family is of Brazilian origin and hails from São Paulo, Senna’s home state.
She is also fluent in Brazilian Portuguese
The first race in Senna’s career in England is shown on a race track next to a mountain range. There are no mountains in England – Norfolk is especially famous for its flat landscape. I’m calling this show the biopics of FW16 because, like The Machine That Killed Senna, it was good, but, hmm…
OK, first the pluses
In general, they correctly understood Senna’s uncompromising nature, especially from the point of view of portraying the desperation of his team leaders. The attention to detail was brilliant; Watching MP4/4 sent chills down my spine, but this shot of Senna alone in the conference room at the end of Suzuki is a perfect recreation of the 1989 ITV shot. I heard another reviewer say that “History” was one-sided.
I agree, but again, so what?
Fans who followed the shenanigans from 1989 to 1993 would be familiar with the French Connection if they didn’t believe unconditionally in the pure truth. Obviously, this is a show for Senna fans, not Balestro defenders. Nevertheless, there were several things that the screenwriters could have paid attention to: 1) Taking into account Senna’s personal relationships with such people as Gerhard Berger and Joseph Leberer would have greatly contributed to his humanity; 2) They could have paid much more attention to the work that Senna put into the development of the car – he was known to give feedback to his mechanics until they begged to go home; and 3) Donnington 1993.
I can’t believe that they completely ignored the greatest circuit in the history of Formula 1
