One can select either an extended version or normal version. I have selected the extended version, but it was long and boring. Not for those that are not fans...

Superb. I was an avid follower of F1 in the days of Mansell, Prost, Senna and co. Lots of behind the scenes footage and stuff I had no idea about. Excellent insight into arguably the greatest driver ever.

Simply an outstanding documentary. It would be hard for anyone to fault the production quality of the manner in which it is pieced together... a sad but inspiring story of life in the fast lane....5 stars from me!!!

This is how to make a documentary. Great use of archival footage and subjects just talking, not being interviewed and asked inane questions. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

A beautifully assemebled documentary that transcends mere petrol-headed voyerism. This is a truly engaging film about the human condition in general. Highly recommended.

a great documentary which seemlessly pieces together Senna's first love. Don't expect any insights into his personal life.....it's all about the track...
