Pic of The Week: Sensational Senna

Monte Carlo acrobatics from Ayrton

A rather gratuitous one this, but one surely needs only the flimsiest of excuses to publish a picture of Senna 'on it'? And it's even better when he's hammering around the track where he shone the brightest - Monte Carlo.

So the trailer for the forthcoming Ayrton Senna biopic that we've been talking about this week presented the perfect POTW opportunity.

This particular shot catches Senna on the way to victory in the 1989 Monaco Grand Prix - one of six wins on the legendary street circuit - in his McLaren Honda. Wonderful.

Can we discuss the trailer here?

I'm not sure I liked that trailer yesterday. I hope history isn't used selectively for the sake of making an interesting tale.

It was a bit poor of the Top Gear bit a few weeks ago that felt like out of place filler to me, not to mention the way Senna would repeatedly stab the accelerator pedal once past the apex.

Cadence braking? It seems his use of the accelerator was similar. Without trying to time the accelerator pedal prods with the car coming back down on the suspension obviously.
