A replica of Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna’s car sits on display on the red carpet for the Netflix series Senna, about the life and death of Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna, who was killed in a 1994 crash, in Sao Paulo, Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024.
“He was much more than an F1 driver for us, he became an icon, much beyond his technique and his driving,” Leone told The Associated Press in an interview in Sao Paulo. “He had this humanity, this honesty.

Senna won the drivers’ championship in 1988, 1990 and 1991 with the McLaren team and moved to Williams in the year he died as the favorite to lift the title again. To many international fans, Senna was simply an exceptional talent who was born to be a driver. Even former rival Martin Brundle, now a TV pundit, once likened Senna’s ability to find grip on some corners to a dance seemingly innate to a Brazilian.The Netflix series, however, shows some of the hard work and attention to detail that went into Senna becoming a wet-weather master.
The Netflix series goes a step further by making Balestre the man responsible for Senna also losing a go-kart title as a youngster, long before he even entered F1.
