Caught this movie on Saturday night and thought they did an excellent job with it. I found the scenes in the driver meetings fascinating - especially with the French FIA chief at the time - "my way is the best way".
I was in my mid 20's when Senna died, and had only been following F1 for a couple of years at the time. I didn't watch the San Marino GP that night, as I was feeling a bit sickened by what had happened to Ratzenberger the previous day (had to look away in the cinema too). I still remember the sense of shock the next morning when I heard what had happened to Senna.
If you're a recent F1 fan - see this documentary. The way the cars would just disintegrate is something we simply don't see any more. Safety is several orders of magnitude better now.
BTW, early in the film there was footage of a crash in a practice session, where the driver is literally just lying on the road still strapped in his seat. Who was that driver?
