For all that say "this is a one-sided story", do you also think Amadeus is a one-sided story? Is also Ford vs Ferrari? Maybe people don't relate because they saw this happen by other perspective, by another narrative. Now think, if your brother go into a fight, would you ever ask him why or would you just jump into it to protect him? That's how I feel now, i don't really care who was to blame back then, i know one thing, that boy watching races in the middle of the night, that boy chanting "Senna Senna", that boy crying because his hero died was also me. I was born few years before he became a F1 champion, and every sunday i was there to watch him racing his life away.
We brazilian watched one of ours becoming the greatest F1 driver of all time, carrying our flag, telling everyone he had all his people in that car, finishing that race in first place. I'm sorry for all those who don't know how it feels to hear out loud from that character named Galvão Bueno saying "AYRTON SENNA DO BRASIL, CAMPEÃO MUNDIAL DE FORMULA 1" ("Ayrton Senna of Brazil, Formula One world champion") and that song that played in the series, played in many of our weekends for some years, a shame it didn't last longer. I, as a little boy, wish it had endured for an eternity. I cried at the end like I cried in 94, my childhood hero has became a myth, who cares if they didn't tell the exact truth, i lived to see it, watching the series made me felt like I had felt back then, and the series brought back all those joyfull and sad emotions.

I was still young when the first Formula 1 race came to Hungary... I was there and watched in amazement a black and gold car as a young driver dismissed famous great drivers one after another. I will never forget how I saw in this driver the fighting spirit, the love of racing. I loved him from the first moment... Since 1986 I have been an unwavering fan of Ayrton Senna, the best racing driver the world has ever seen. I saw every race he did after him... I was personally there among the enthusiastic audience at many races. I read every available newspaper article, news, book about him that I could. His accident and death really affected me... I didn't watch Formula 1 racing for years afterwards. In recent years I have started watching Formula 1 races on TV again... It is very different from when he was there. Of course, this is a different generation. I miss the passion, the desire to win, the heroism that I saw in him every minute he was in the car. Ayrton Senna is a three-time world champion. Others may have more world championship titles, but they will never be as iconic as SENNA.
He was the best... He is still the best!

Firstly, while opinions on historical accuracy can vary, one cannot overlook the profound impact Ayrton Senna had on Brazil and its people. Beyond his undeniable talent and charisma on the racetrack, Senna was-and remains-a unifying symbol for a nation often divided by social, economic, and political differences. At a time when Brazil faced immense challenges, he brought hope, pride, and a rare sense of togetherness. Even today, in an era marked by political polarization, Senna's legacy continues to transcend these divisions, making him one of the few figures that all Brazilians can celebrate.
As for the series itself, it is a masterpiece of storytelling and production. The cinematography, acting, and attention to detail set a new standard for Brazilian series, making it arguably the best ever produced in the country. It captures not just the man behind the wheel, but the cultural phenomenon that Senna became. While dramatization is inevitable in such works, it serves to highlight the emotional and historical resonance of Senna's journey, rather than detract from it.
Ultimately, the series is not meant to be a documentary but a tribute to a man who inspired millions. It succeeds in evoking the passion, dedication, and human connection that defined Ayrton Senna-a man whose story deserves to be remembered and celebrated.

Senna was and still is a hero for Brazil, actually for many people in the world in different countries. The best racer of all time and his story is beautiful, he was a wonderful and respectful man. I am Brazilian and I live in United States, I wish people here watch more productions from other countries...seriously you guys lose so many wonderful stories from Brazil, Norway, France..just because "oh I don't like voiceover...but I don't like read the captions either" this limited a lot. US productions are incredible too but sometimes it's like the same as always. You guys won't retreat to watch other cultures, visions, new worlds! Netflix have a lot of Brazilian productions, it's the 2nd biggest country on Netflix after US.

Well at the moment it is the best Biopic Series on Streaming service Netflix with is Brazilian partner centers the bullseye!
The acting is great the storie telling is so accurate that it's as you where there in this moment. I had so many back flashes seeing the iconic races and it brought me back in time. I was and still am a Senna Fan, and I cryed a lot when he died that for many ears I didn't watch any F1 race.
To make a point it is a must watch for F1 fans and for the senna fans it is a come alive of those moments that made is fall in love not only with the driver he was but for the human. He is a Rolle Modell of an athlete and sportsman!
Like he always said "it's pure racing!"
