As a seasoned movie enthusiast with a penchant for biopics and racing dramas, I have eagerly awaited the Netflix series delving into the life of Ayrton Senna.

In the new Netflix series that portrays his life, one of the tasks for main actor Gabriel Leone was to capture the spirit of the McLaren legend. Luckily for him, he received assistance from the Senna family in this endeavor.

He mentioned that he had interacted with them, particularly his sister and nephew who manage his institution. They were incredibly helpful and very considerate towards him.

Leone continued by explaining that even though it was crucial for him to look like Senna, he needed to portray what lay deep within.

He noted that understanding his true nature and portraying different aspects of him during the performance was vital. This aspect was indeed key for him.
