Ayrton Senna documentary to premiere on HBO Asia on Sept. 17

TopGear.com.ph Philippine Car News - Senna documentary to premiere on HBO Asia on September 17

The name "Ayrton Senna" needs no introduction. But if you want to know more about the legendary Formula 1 driver's life, HBO will premiere on Monday, September 17, at 8:15pm, his documentary Senna directed by Asif Kapadia.

Senna chronicles the superstar Brazilian driver's life in Formula 1, from his debut in the sport in 1984 as a driver for the Toleman team, to his death in 1994 at the San Marino Grand Prix while driving for WilliamsF1.

The one-hour, 40-minute film gives us a glimpse of the driver who not only constantly focused on winning each and every race he was in, but also acted carefree and jovial outside of the track.

The showing of the documentary is quite timely since Sid Watkins, the Formula 1 doctor who immediately attended to Senna at the scene of his fatal crash, passed away a couple of days ago.

Check out the other screening times on HBOAsia.com just in case you can't catch it on September 17.

    I think I've seen this film/documentary last April while flying with Korean Air. So it was Michael Schumacher who was aggressively chasing Senna when the accident happened.

    I saw in the past HBO schedule that it was first shown on HBO Signature. Since I don't have it now, I couldn't have a chance to watch it. When I heard it would be on HBO, I was very excited for Sept. 17 to arrive! Now, let the tears begin.

    Wish I could watch it. No TV where I am right now. I'd really like to see why lots of F1 drivers today, as I saw on a Top Gear UK episode, regard Senna as the number 1.
