The remarkable story of Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna, charting his physical and spiritual achievements on the track and off, his quest for perfection, and the mythical status he has since attained, is the subject of Senna, a documentary feature that spans the racing legend's years as an F1 driver, from his opening season in 1984 to his untimely death a decade later.
Asif Kapadia's archive-only Ayrton Senna biography — no talking heads, just race footage, family videos, and Senna's own words. Won BAFTA Best Documentary; critics widely embraced it as one of the great recent sports docs, even reaching audiences with no F1 interest. The 1994 Imola sequence is shattering.
