I was piling across the Arizona desert in a rather tasty little hired sports car thinking I was Ayrton Senna, only cacti and rattlesnakes for company. I just recall what a shock it was to hear, especially on American radio, the mere mention of F1 a surprise; NASCAR and INDY CAR king this far west.

"Senna" is a 2010 documentary feature film about the life of legendary Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna. I won't go into the plot like i normally would in a review of a movie, as this is a documantary, but also a movie in as much as it centres on a hero ( Senna ) who has humble beginnings and slowly but surely through natural talent rises to the top of his chosen sport, however like any good movie plot there are things and people standing in his way ( in this case the main culprits are fellow driver Alain Prost and the then head of The motor racing governing body Jean-Marie Balestre ). The magic of this movie is that there is not one single ...  Read the complete review
