Now, some of you may not be sports fans. And those of you that are, some of you may not be motorsports fans and may or may not consider it a sport. Now, lets remember what the definition of sport is. Sport: an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.; diversion, recreation, pleasant pastime. We are all entitled to our own opinion of what that may be, but I would like to say that I like to keep an open mind. So you can make your own arguments as to what is a sport and what is not, but in the end, if it requires a specific skill to master and is of competitive nature and involves a person exerting some type of physical output, it is a sport in my book.
With all this said, the movie I have selected is a sports film about a race car driver. Some of you may have heard of Ayrton Senna. Definitely more popular on the world stage because of Formula 1. Senna was a 3 time world champion (1988, 1990 and 1991), who collected 65 pole positions (qualified 1st), 41 wins (first win in 1985 at Estoril, Portugal) and 80 podiums (top 3 finish) in 162 races (161 starts) (1984-1994). He amassed 164 points in his career under the old FIA scoring system. This film documents the early life and career if this iconic driver and goes behind he scenes of some his struggles he had to deal with against his competitors, teammates and the FIA.
