    I think the Senna movie is being made but it's become a documentary.

    There would never be a "warts and all" Senna movie if the family was involved which they naturally would be. There are several unauthorized books that haven't been translated to English (Ayrton, o Herói Revelado for example) that go deeply into Senna's personal life including his messy love life. Some of the things I was quite surprised by. Things like that could make a potential Senna movie very interesting in terms of a plot but I would doubt his family would let it see the light of day. if you've ever seen any of the authorized bio's, then you'll know what I mean.

    People have criticized Driven for its CGI and some of it does look fake (not all though). OTOH look at the super slow mo stutter shots of the Le Mans accident: You can see the fibreglass skins of the replica cars warp. Real cars would not deform like that.

    Similar comments can be made for some of the more goofy shots from Grand Prix, e.g. the car that drives into the harbor at Monaco.

    Just don't let Piquet write the script. ;)

    Are you saying that Nelsinho Jr. has Senna's blood running through his veins?

    LOL

    Sadly your argument has a hole: Just look at Bruno. He's about as bad as Piquet Jr.

    True, but Bruno hasn't run in F1 yet(and probably won't) and he's a nephew, not a son.

    true, but in GP2 Piquet JR was Hamilton's closest rival. Bruno Senna just doesn't cut it that well...

    I will admit, I'm biased and want him to make it, but Bruno always seemed to be pretty fast in the race but tended not to qualify well which hurt him.

    I just got this horrible visual in my head of a different Bruno (Sacha Baron Cohen) making his way somehow into the F1 spectacle...

    Please make the images go away!!!!!!







    LOL, I know you mean Senna's nephew. There is footage of Ayrton and his nephew on water skis in one of his documentaries (A Star Named Senna or Racing is in my Blood, I don't remember which).

    I personally don't believe Bruno possesses the same amount of talent as Ayrton. Then again I don't believe Ralf had the same amount of talent as Michael either...

    Well who does have the same amount of talent as Ayrton did? They can't all be Sennas, Prosts or Schumis. F1 needs Bergers, Barrichellos, and Webbers too.

    How about a film on the life of F1's very own "Schuey Balboa"?. Plenty of story lines, from stealing a rivals girlfriend to controversies on track, right up to a come back after three years away.

    I can see the ending now, on the top step of the podium at the end of the last race of the season, arm aloft shouting: "CORINNA!, CORINNA!........ I DID IT!"

    Piquet Sr. picks Bruno (Sacha Baron Cohen) to play Senna Sr.

    Andreas picks Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen) to play Piquet Jr.

    Yeah, but most folks - including most hard-core racing fans - don't know that, and for those of us that do, we don't care.

    Are you sure you don't have this affair mixed up with Tambay knocking up Gilles' wife right after Gilles was killed?

    No, I know the affair you are talking about. Piquet Sr's GF at the time and Nelson Jr's mother, Catherine something or other was romantically involved with Senna at some time as well. There was conjuncture that it might have happened at the same time that she was with Piquet, but I don't know for sure.


    "Fellow Brazillian F1 driver Mauricio Gugelmin tells of an episode in 1988 where Senna and Nelson Piquet, another champion, had developed an altercation. It had started when tongue-in-cheek remarks made by Senna to a reporter had been taken out of context. Having been asked why he had not been readily available to the press for a few weeks, Senna had responded that, as Piquet had just been crowned World Champion he had receded to give the press time to talk about Piquet. Piquet, who was infuriated by these comments, told the press to ask Ayrton why he did not like women. Mauricio Gugelmin expands: "He [Senna] was at my house when they called and told him Piquet's answer, wanting more of him. Even my wife was angry with that and said to him: 'Ayrton, tell them to ask Piquet's wife if it is true', referring to Catherine, who was Ayrton's girl before Nelson's. And Ayrton refused: 'No, I don't do this. If he doesn't respect anybody, I do. I don't do this to any woman.'" After Senna's death it was discovered that he had donated millions of dollars to children's charities, a fact that he during his life, had kept very secret."

    Karma is a *****. Piquet senior started the whole Senna being gay rumors (Prost had a part in it too, it must be said) and Piquet Jr. ends up being a fruit basket. On top of that, he was a wanker at the wheel. See what happens you talk sh*t, lol!
