Senna’s early races in England are shown on a racetrack next to a mountain range
Chronology
A fictional miniseries based on the life of Ayrton Senna da Silva, the Brazilian racing legend who won the Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship three times. The series’ writers have said that there are limitations, as Senna’s family was involved in the production.
Honestly, the writing is the only minor flaw in this otherwise fantastic drama
. There are no mountains in England – especially Norfolk, which is famous for its flat landscape.
The superlatives used are frequent and exaggerated
I understand that this is a dramatization, but when I hear "miracle" again describing a drive, well.. And why did he portray English F3 fans as bare-chested, raving lunatics/animals?
The kind you might find at the Oval or Lord’s
Anyone who was around at the time would say that reserved types supported and watched (and still do). The second episode seemed to have a lot of anti-England stuff going on, which just wasn’t there for Ayrton.
Also, why is Murray Walker relegated to such a small part?
He was well supported and really appreciated for his skills on the track. He was a personal friend of Ayrton’s but he barely saw the screen.
