    A couple of days ago the 2024 Formula 1 season officially concluded, a season in which Max Verstappen, the Dutch driver of Red Bull Racing was crowned champion for the fourth time in a row, although this time it cost him a little more than expected... The thing is that I have been following this sport with quite a bit of passion for a couple of years and I try to give a chance to most of the audiovisual works that are created about it (and about the world of motorsport in general)

    Unfortunately the examples are scarce, on the one hand we have the controversial Drive to Survive (A Netflix documentary that reviews the most "relevant" storylines of each season with a little touch of exaggeration), and on the other hand we have biographical and fictional films, such as the excellent Rush and the F1 film that will be released in the middle of next year with Brad Pitt as the protagonist.

    The point is that despite the growing popularity of the sport, there are few spaces to enjoy it outside of the broadcast of each race, although the inquisitive role that social networks and the Internet in general are taking is appreciated to allow us to enjoy the pinnacle of motorsport without having to have a race on the television.

    Perhaps for this reason it is quite easy for me to ignore the problems of Senna, the new Netflix miniseries that is responsible for narrating the life of one of the greatest drivers in history: The Brazilian Ayrton Senna.

    And although in terms of script and rhythm the series could leave a bad taste in the mouths of the most hardcore fans of the sport (And to a certain extent I include myself), it is undeniable that it is a perfect way to reach his inspiring story (and his tragic end) to the masses.

    "Senna" is a series that doesn't bother spending a large portion of its footage on the more technical aspects of motorsport, but it serves as a superficial but effective celebration of the sport in the 80s/90s, a fascinating but chaotic era where everything felt a little more precarious.

    From his humble beginnings in karting to his eternal rivalry with Alain Prost, Senna is a nostalgic journey that knows how to represent very well the mentality of a winning driver, far from conformist and willing to do whatever it takes to provide the best possible result.

    As I said at the beginning, it is far from perfect, and in audiovisual terms there are a couple of very specific moments where it would be best to let down your guard to enjoy, even so, we greatly appreciate the final result, an emotional series that effectively immerses us in the career of one of the greatest athletes of all time, and that invites us to investigate a little more about what happened that is not shown in the scant 6 episodes that comprise it.

    It's wonderful to be able to see all these old cars in action, and it's worth the good casting, starting with Ayrton himself (played by Gabriel Leone), to the other drivers who are represented very faithfully, such as Nikky Lauda, Alain Prost and James Hunt, to mention a couple of them.

  2. Senna (2010): Movie Review@miguelpeliculas595d

    Con la victoria el fin de semana pasado en el Gran Premio de Brasil de Max Verstappen, ví que se estaba rememorando a un grande de este deporte, el brasileño Ayrton Senna, un triple campeón mundial antes de que la tecnología llegará a este deporte, y siendo sincero, no sabía mucho de él, en vista de que su terrible accidente, el cual le quito la vida en Mónaco, fue él mismo año en el que yo nací, y hoy a un poco mas de 30 años de ese fatídico día, quise aprender un poco más de uno de los conductores más polémicos y con mayor calidad al volante de su generación.

    With Max Verstappen's victory last weekend in the Brazilian Grand Prix, I saw that a great of this sport was being remembered, the Brazilian Ayrton Senna, a three-time world champion before technology came to this sport, and To be honest, I didn't know much about him, given that his terrible accident, which took his life in Monaco, was the same year I was born, and today a little more than 30 years after that fateful day, I wanted to learn a little more from one of the most controversial drivers with the greatest driving quality of his generation.

    Con este documental volvemos a tiempos más simples en la Fórmula 1, donde lo más importante era el piloto, no la máquina, y justo en esos años previos a la automatización de muchos aspectos de las carreras, un brasileño llegó para hacerse el mejor del mundo, pues más allá de su confianza en sí mismo, o sus fuertes creencias religiosas, era un habilidoso detrás del volante, capaz de encontrar espacios para adelantar rivales donde nadie los veía, llevándose a sí mismo, y a sus oponentes, al límite en cada carrera.

    With this documentary we return to simpler times in Formula 1, where the most important thing was the driver, not the machine, and just in those years prior to the automation of many aspects of racing, a Brazilian arrived to become the best in the world , because beyond his self-confidence, or his strong religious beliefs, he was skilled behind the wheel, capable of finding spaces to overtake rivals where no one saw them, taking himself, and his opponents, to the limit in each race.

    Sinopsis según FilmAffinity / Synopsis according FilmAffinity:

    "Feature-length documentary that traces the life of the legendary Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna (1960-1994), from his debut season in 1984 to his premature death a decade later at the San Marino Grand Prix. It features surprising and unpublished material drawn largely from the Formula 1 archives."

    También fue muy llamativo lo polémico que fue el Senna, ya que pese a venir de una familia muy bien acomodada en Brasil, él siempre llego su bandera, no dejándose intimidar por otros corredores, luchando contra un sistema que se planteó como corrupto en el documental, costándole un campeonato mundial pese a que competía con un mismo compañero de escuderia. Su rivalidad con Alain Prost fue legendaria al final de los años 80 y comienzo de los 90, y que este fuera francés, lo beneficio en varias de las decisiones tomadas por el ente mayor de la Fórmula 1.

    It was also very striking how controversial Senna was, since despite coming from a very well-off family in Brazil, he always raised his flag, not letting himself be intimidated by other riders, fighting against a system that was presented as corrupt in the documentary, costing him a world championship even though he was competing with the same teammate. His rivalry with Alain Prost was legendary at the end of the 80s and beginning of the 90s, and the fact that he was French benefited him in several of the decisions made by the largest body in Formula 1.

    Su figura presenta lo que fue un cambio en el paradigma global de la F1 actual, pues las acciones que el brasileño realizaba ya no se ven en la actualidad, y precisamente ese atrevimiento, fue lo que lo llevó a cometer el error que le costó la vida, siendo entendible el cambio de las reglas. Esos adelantamientos ya no son comunes, y aunque no se mucho de este deporte, entiendo porque el brasileño despertó tanta admiración en su época entre la fanaticada, pues entre otras cosas, el relato de su competencia en Mónaco, con la lluvia torrencial es algo que impresiona, pues no me imagino mantener un coche a esa velocidad con la pista mojada.

    His figure presents what was a change in the global paradigm of current F1, since the actions that the Brazilian carried out are no longer seen today, and precisely that daring was what led him to make the mistake that cost him his life. life, the change in the rules being understandable. These overtakes are no longer common, and although I don't know much about this sport, I understand why the Brazilian aroused so much admiration in his time among the fans, because among other things, the story of his competition in Monaco, with the torrential rain, is something that It's impressive, because I can't imagine maintaining a car at that speed with a wet track.

    Este documental está hecho a base de muchos videos inéditos, tanto tomados por la máximo ente de automovilismo, como por sus familiares y amigos, lo que permite conocer al personaje de una mejor forma, desde la intimidad y sin la mascarilla que muchos se colocan para este estilo de producciones, donde buscan mostrarse casi como seres inmaculados o con errores que agraden a la mayoría del público. Así mismo, el trato que le dieron a Prost tampoco fue el mejor, pues lo retrasaron como el villano absoluto de la historia.

    This documentary is made based on many unpublished videos, both taken by the highest motorsport entity, as well as by his family and friends, which allows us to get to know the character in a better way, from privacy and without the mask that many put on to this style of productions, where they seek to show themselves as almost immaculate beings or with errors that please the majority of the public. Likewise, the treatment they gave to Prost was not the best either, as they portrayed him as the absolute villain of history.

    Técnicamente, la historia se cuenta de forma sencilla, lineal y sin dar saltos en el tiempo, lo que ayuda a una compresión más sencilla de la cinta, le dan todo el peso de la historia a Senna, evidenciando la importancia de la religión y Dios en su vida, y hasta en su forma de competir, pues siempre confiaba sus atrevimientos a que estaría resguardado siempre. La parte musical también estuvo bien, llenando o amplificando varias escenas, como las mismas religiosas, o las fiestas de los carnavales de Brasil.

    Technically, the story is told in a simple, linear way and without jumping in time, which helps to make the film easier to compress, giving all the weight of the story to Senna, evidencing the importance of religion and God. in his life, and even in his way of competing, because he always trusted his daring actions to the fact that he would always be protected. The musical part was also good, filling or amplifying various scenes, such as the religious ones, or the Brazilian carnival festivities.

    En conclusión, el documental es muy bueno, y aunque no soy fanático del automovilismo, es imposible no emocionarse al ver todos los acontecimientos, como sobresalió en un país que no es potencia en este deporte y la alegría que le generó a su gente, pero lo más impresionante fue su triste final, pues fue su máquina la que finalmente falló al llevarla al límite. Su historia era desconocida para mí, pero tengo que decir que en mi nació un nuevo fanático del carioca que driblaba con su magia en el pavimento.

    In conclusion, the documentary is very good, and although I am not a fan of motorsports, it is impossible not to be moved by seeing all the events, how it stood out in a country that is not a power in this sport and the joy it generated for its people, but The most impressive thing was its sad end, since it was his machine that finally failed to push it to the limit. His story was unknown to me, but I have to say that a new Carioca fan was born in me who dribbled with his magic on the pavement.
