I'm a check it probably after the 24 at Daytona. He was another great driver taken too soon.

It's one of the best sports documentaries I've ever seen, although its portrayal of Alain Prost as a soulless technician in contrast to Senna's brilliance is probably a little unfair. The shenanigans that F1 pulled to try to keep Prost on top are maddening, though.

I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the recommendation!

Must see if you enjoy a good documentary.

Wow....what a great Doc. Thanks for the recommendation, because if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have even known about this. Sadly, this was before I really even paid attention to F1, but still a very, very good Doc.

Alain Prost WAS a soulless technician in the cockpit. That is what earned him the monicker "The Professor". He did exactly what he needed to do to get enough points to win the title. The engineers say "Alain, we need a 3rd place to win the title". Alain raced hard until he got himself into third place and sat on it. Once Prost got in the car, the man disappeared and he became part of the car.

I've been a Formula One fan since the mid 80's and was blessed enough to spend some time in the Canadian GP paddock in the 90's while working for a Toyota Atlantic team. This documentary is an amazing piece of film. In my opinion, it exemplifies everything that is wrong with F1 today. Today's F1 lacks characters like Senna and Prost.....those guys were rock stars.

Not a big F1 fan but this was amazing.
