zen Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 IMDB QOQLeqRcgKc Awesome documentary .... Pure Gold .... A must watch for any sportsfan. Highlights: * Prost-Senna rivalry * Senna's run at Mclaren, including the race in Sao Paulo with approx. 300k fans chanting "Senna Senna" * Senna's run at Williams-Renault where he had to deal with the crappy Willians FW16 car. Ironically, it were williams-renualt's all conquering FW14 car that made Senna come to them but the FIA banned the use of electronic devices which turned the car "unpredictable". Senna was unhappy with the car and worked constantly with the engineers to improve it. * Senna death at San Marino. Believed to be due to power steering failure of the car. * Death of the legend. For some reason, I had tears flowing in my eyes too. May be this was some kind of a poetic justice with Senna dying on the tracks. If given the options, he probably would have opted for this. What connects me emotionally to sports legends like Senna is how I agree with their philosophy. If you are in a competitive sports, you are there to finish at #1 (just finishing is not an option). And to do that you give it all, if there is an opening in the race do all to take advantage of that. Go faster and faster .... The pure passion for the sports is just incredible In the world of sports superstars, there are 'Karans' and there are 'Arjuns'. A Karan forgets his skills at the main time, an Arjun delivers on the occasion. Senna was an Arjun. In Senna's words: "pure driving .... pure racing .... that's what makes me happy" Senna

Vinci Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Brilliant docu!! one interesting fact, it has been directed by an Indian origin director Asif Kapadia (if someone remembers his movie which shot Irrfan Khan to the international stage).
