I gave this a go recently and it was so good, I just had to go on here to promote it. If you're not a Formula 1 fan, this movie will still be great. One of the better biographical documentaries I have seen in quite some time. Really interesting, in-depth, and emotional on many levels.

Holy f*ckery, that was incredible.

I was a huge F1 fan growing up, but I'm too young to remember the Senna/Prost era.

In the post up there, I said I consider my self more of a Prost fan than Senna fan, mainly because I had always viewed Senna as too aggressive and too serious, but the documentary definitely sways that thought.

Senna was a brilliant driver, and his drive to be the best was phenomenal. For example, the Japanese GP in '91, where he had to WIN the race to have a shot at the championship. Prost turned into Senna, took them both off the track, and then Senna urged the officials to push him back on. He had to pit to change his front wing, went back out, and ended up winning the race. His determination there is unheard of, even though he was later revoked of the win then banned for 6 months or whatever (which is total bullsh*t watching the footage back).

That race at Imola should've never been run though. Rubens' wreck in practice, Ratzenberger's death in qualifying the day before the race, the wreck at the start of the race... Clearly there was something wrong with the conditions of the track or the cars (or both?), and they shouldn't have allowed the race to continue after Ratzenberger died.

Amazing film though. It's great to finally see the story of the legend I have heard so much about since I was a kid. It makes me think so much more highly of him and the driver he was than I ever did before.

I watched it a couple of months ago. It was really great. I already knew about most of the events covered in the documentary. But the way it was edited, and some of the rare footage that was included, made it truely fantastic. Senna was a great driver and an even greater person. Thankfully Formula One stepped up its safety measures after Senna's death and no one has been killed in an accident since. Which speaks volumes as there have been some very bad crashes over the years (Kubica's crash in '07 comes to mind).

I'm not gonna lie, I thought I might have witnessed a death while watching that one live.

And another one that comes to mind is Alonso hitting the tires that Webber spread across in Brazil back in the day.

And even Massa taking a spring to the head. Senna died because something popped out and hit his head, yet Massa could survive taking that spring to the face at who knows what speed.

Hopefully other racing sports like Indy follow form after what happened to Wheldon. Yet another race that should NOT have been run. Just like Imola in '94, the tragedy in Vegas last year was foreshadowed all weekend.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
