Senna cast: Full list of stars in Netflix’s Ayrton Senna drama

As a longtime enthusiast of motorsports, I must say that the cast of “Senna” is nothing short of impressive. Each actor brings a unique charm and authenticity to their roles, making the series feel like a time machine transporting us back to the golden age of Formula 1.

Instead of delving into the life of legendary Brazilian racer Ayrton Senna that’s already been chronicled, particularly in Asif Kapadia’s BAFTA-winning film, a fresh take is now offered through a dramatic Netflix series reenactment.

This six-part series, featuring Gabriel Leone as the lead character Senna, traces the highs and lows of his remarkable professional journey, alongside the narrative of his untimely demise in a racing accident at the young age of 34.

In addition to Leone, the show also features actors like Kaya Scodelario, Patrick Kennedy, and Steven Mackintosh, as well as several Brazilian stars. However, I’m curious to know who else is part of the cast and what roles they are portraying.

Read on for everything you need to know about the cast of Senna on Netflix.
