Kaya Scodelario’s character Laura Harrison is fictional
Fictional miniseries about the life of Ayrton Senna da Silva, the Brazilian racing legend who won the Formula 1 World Championship three times. She is based on journalists who covered Ayrton Senna’s career.
She is also fluent in Brazilian Portuguese
In addition, Scodelario’s family is of Brazilian origin and hails from Senna’s home state of São Paulo. Early races in Senna’s career in England are shown on a racetrack next to a mountain range.
There are no mountains in England – especially not in Norfolk, which is famous for its flat landscape
Well, right now it’s the best biopic series on the streaming service Netflix, whose Brazilian partner marks the middle with the bull’s eye! The acting is great, the telling of the story is so precise that it’s like you are there in that moment.
I had so many memories of the legendary races and it took me back in time
I was and still am a Senna fan and I cried a lot when he died because I didn’t watch an F1 race for many years. To be clear, for F1 fans it is a must-see and for Senna fans it brings to life the moments that made them fall in love not only with the driver he was but also the person he was.
As he always said: “This is pure racing!”
He is a role model of an athlete and sportsman!
