00:00I grew up as a Brazilian, listening to the stories at home.
00:06I have a very fond memory of Formula 1 at that time.
00:12Every Sunday morning people would stop to watch Ayrton Senna's races.
00:18That little Brazilian flag when he won the races, that's beautiful, isn't it?
00:31Why is it that, with so many extraordinary drivers,
00:35until today, there has only been one Ayrton Senna hero in Formula 1?
00:44It was an extraordinary work of recreation on a huge scale.
00:49It's almost like a science fiction, because cars no longer exist,
00:54tracks no longer exist.
00:56In Argentina, we found these half-stopped racetracks in time.
01:00A lot of VFX work, post-production,
01:03to transform those places into racetracks all over the world.
01:08We had a demand for more than 80 cars to be built.
01:12So the option for this was to work digitally.
01:15We left only the chassis, all sticky,
01:17to be able to deliver to post-production the references for them to be able to track.
01:21That way, it was possible to use any car in any race.
01:26It's filled with love and passion and dedication
01:29that I think is very special in Brazil and from Brazilians.
01:33We had many languages, we had many countries.
01:38We chose Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, here in South America,
01:43as the main countries for the filming to take place.
01:46And England, without a doubt, because it's where he started his entire career.
01:50We spoke Spanish, we spoke English, and that enriches a lot.
01:54Look!
01:55To talk about this Brazilian figure, who is loved all over the world.
02:00I think all the cast is very similar.
02:02Our Prost is very similar, Xuxa is very similar.
02:05I was very moved to see Xuxa.
02:08I listened a lot to you, her face.
02:11It's making me nervous.
02:13It's hard when you make a character that's alive,
02:16because people, icons and characters who have already died,
02:20have remained in memory.
02:21To enter the memory of other Brazilians!
02:24It's not a documentary.
02:25We are recreating a life through these essential moments.
02:30Only fiction allows us to access, right?
02:34It will be amazing to have a new generation getting to know Senna.
02:38You can also make mistakes. Even you can.
02:41I have no doubt that it was the biggest challenge of my career
02:45and the greatest honor as an actor to be able to give life to Ayrton Senna.
02:50It's a dream come true.
02:52I feel like I've been preparing my whole life
02:55to direct a series about Senna.
