S o Paulo, April 30, 2024 - In this first teaser video for Senna, the limited series premiering in late 2024, we see the recreation of Formula 1 driver Ayrton Sennas historic victory, including the narration of Galv o Bueno, at the 1991 Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos, following a challenging race where he was mostly stuck in sixth gear and also marking the first time he won in his hometown of Sao Paulo. We also see possible thoughts and experiences, interspersed with images of the race, that led Ayrton, played by Gabriel Leone, to this point in his career in addition to some iconic characters who were a part of his life that year, including Xuxa (P mela Tom ), Alain Prost (Matt Mella) and the McLaren team principal, Ron Dennis (Patrick Kennedy) and Galv o Bueno (Gabriel Louchard).
Over the course of six episodes, Senna will showcase, for the first time, Ayrtons journey through triumph, disappointment, joy and sorrow, unveiling his personality and personal relationships. The fictional series starts with the genesis of the three-time Formula 1 champions motor racing career, when he moves to England to compete in Formula Ford, and until his tragic accident in Imola, Italy, during the San Marino Grand Prix.
