I'm sure I will enjoy this film, though all my life I've felt a movie about the Prost-Senna dynamic would be better: two outstanding drivers at different points in their careers, with different approaches, different temperments, different cultures, from different continents-- but in the same team. The potential for intra-team conflict would be a terrific subplot. Writers could make use of the Pironi-Villeneuve dust-up and tragic aftermath as a bit of foreshadowing.
The movie in my head would have a Hollywood ending, with Prost quitting soon after Senna's death, abandoning his goal of a WDC mid-season, with his worthiest challenger now gone.

I'm still not really sure why people make a song and dance about this whole Lauda / Hunt thing. They were big mates, it's not like they were deadly rivals. But I'm still keen to see this movie, although I'm sure somethings will be a bit overdone. Driven was seriously overdone so it can't be worse than that. Grand Prix was pretty good, although it must have been amazing at the time of release. I'm ashamed to say I've never seen Le Mans.
With Grand Prix I still remember an interview with Phil Hill where he said, no, Ferrari didn't have a black flag with a prancing horse on it to signal drivers to return to the pits because of a fatal accident as shown in the movie, but it might not have been a bad idea at the time!
As for the Senna movie, it really disappointed me, it just felt like some over the top fan had got hold of the script, they never dealt with any of the controversies properly, Prost or otherwise, and never showed the two sides to the story.
Actually I'm still waiting for someone to make a movie about 1982...CMR4L titles: 2, RBR MF Cup titles: 2
