The article says that it will be fictional.

I hope that just means 'artistic license' and not 'made up'.

I'm not opposed to a series about a fictional fiery perfectionist F1 driver.  (In fact I'd love to see that)  But there's no point in changing someone's legacy.

That's what I'm hoping for. Something like the James Hunt-Niki Lauda film Rush, as opposed to a documentary like Senna.

Am I the only one not interested in this? Just can't get the sycophantic praise doled out for him. 

Can you guess he's not a favourite of mine.  :D

I'm with you John. Seems to me to have tremendous skills as a driver, but not so much as a human.

I've never really been a Senna fan myself, but I love a really good racing film. That's why I'm interested.
