If you still have a VHS player the documentary "
A Star Named Senna" was light years better than the recent UK documentary. It's nearly 2 hours and has some amazing interviews including one with the late
Peter Warr (Colin Chapman's right hand man) where he discusses Estoril as "[a race that sticks out in my mind not because of how close it was but because how it was the polar opposite of close. Senna destroyed everyone]".
I was reading an interview with Lewis Hamilton recently and he mentioned the VHS version on how he still keeps it with him. But this is the guy who went out of his way to personally pay for the green helmet lining so that his Senna tribute helmet would accurately match
Ayrton's helmet.
What's left of F1 today makes me wonder if Senna would even watch the races. DRS? He'd have some choice words about fake racing.
