Ayrton Senna do Brasil

Details

The third episode delves into Ayrton Senna's ultra-competitive personality, avoiding the patriotic tone often used when discussing the Formula 1 legend. It highlights different sides of Senna: the man admired for his kindness and achievements, like the historic 1991 victory in Interlagos, but also the athlete whose obsession with winning sometimes led to unsportsmanlike behavior on the track. This episode focused on Senna’s intense rivalry with Alain Prost. The 1990 Japanese GP collision between Senna and Prost was portrayed as an "unsportsmanlike act" by the Brazilian but also as retaliation for being "cheated" by the FIA the year before, which cost him the title. While celebrating Senna as "the Brazil that succeeded," Galvão Bueno acknowledges that provoking the 1990 crash with Prost to secure the championship was a wrongful act.
