Still as good second time around. Although it was on a much bigger screen than the 1st time and in this case I think smaller screen is better as some of the footage is far too grainy to be blown up that big.

Would be interesting for channel 4 to eventually show this along with that other documentary they screened a few years back investigating the accident. I can understand why the film wouldn't suddenly delve into all that when it's supposed to be about the man and not just that accident.

I love F1, sadly do not have the dosh to see it live. I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. Yes the film was grainy at times but the big screen was perfect for me, the onboard camera work had me swerving in my seat. Even though I knew the way it was going to end the crash at the end still shocked me.

The Senna & Prost competition/dislike came across well on the screen as did the safety concerns and issues. So much corruption in the sport, jaw dropping decisions. this gave a little bit of an insight to how drivers had to play the politics of the sport to drive.
Think I remeber a film on BBC2 about the history of F1 and how the drivers finally got the safety levels risen.

9/10
