Kaya Scodelario’s character, Laura Harrison, is fictional
Narrative
A fictional miniseries based on the life of Ayrton Senna da Silva, the Brazilian racing legend who won the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship three times. She is based on journalists who covered Ayrton Senna’s career. In addition, Scodelario’s family is Brazilian, from Senna’s home state of São Paulo.
She also speaks fluent Brazilian Portuguese
The first races of Senna’s career in England are shown on a racetrack next to a mountain range. There are no mountains in England – especially Norfolk, which is famous for its flat landscape. I was still young when the first Formula One race came to Hungary… I was there and watched in amazement as a black and gold car in its youth the driver rejected the great famous drivers one after another.
I have read every available newspaper article, news, book about him that I could
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 a staunch fan of Ayrton Senna, the best racing driver the world has ever seen. I have seen every race he has done since then… I was personally there among the enthusiastic audience at many races.
Of course, this is a different generation
His accident and death really affected me… I did not watch Formula 1 racing for years after that. In recent years I have started watching Formula 1 racing again on TV… It is very different from when he was there. I miss the passion, the desire to win, the heroism that I saw in him every minute he was in the car.
He was the best
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 is still the best!
