The trailer opens showing Senna, played by Brazilian actor Gabriel Leone, sitting in his McLaren-Honda MP4/6 in the pits at the 1991 Brazilian Grand Prix. He is as he was often seen, deep in thought, as his team buzzed around him preparing the car. We see his lid go on and his visor go down in preparation for the race to start.
There are plenty of quick shots, close-ups, as the cars scream round and flashbacks begin, of his childhood, of his run-ins with Alain Prost and more. Rain comes down as we see moments from his previous drives.
A point of criticism to note from our perspective largely come down to sound design. The MP4/6 famously used a Honda V12 and rarely has that sound about it, with a front-on view on track at one point dubbed over with a Judd V8. Hopefully it’s all as it should be when the show debuts later this year but other than that, count us excited…
