couldnt just focus on senna without trashing his greatest rival could they.
In a movie targeted for a Brazilian audience? Surely you jest.
I wouldnt care if its target audience was glow-worms, they need to let it go that Prost alone, single-handedly serves as a living example/proof t)hat Senna was
a) touchable
b) flawed
as such Prost, is always picked on in magazines, editorials, internet forums, you name it, because he happened to dare (and succeed) in beating Senna 'The Greatest that ever lived' , and whilst i far from disagee with the statement in its entirety. I believe the Senna factor in F1 circles, is almost identical to how a communist dictatorship is run.
1. You do not challenge the Status Quo, ever.
2. You dont find footage of events, nor witness testimonials, you listen to hyped up word of mouth and base a subsequent opinion on it.
3. You pay worship to the geat leader (Senna) at every single chance you get.
4. If you dont toe the line you are rounded upon and forced out ( expelled/exiled) from any public f1 circle you may be part of. You are never spoken of again.
Im really sorry to bring a downer on a great thread, and a film im excited to see. But someone mentioned Prost in bad light and something has to be said.
Alain Prost - Lewis Hamilton - Kamui Kobayashi - Fernando Alonso - Kimi Raikkonnen - Jenson Button
