Sure, in the space of movie length format some facts had to be glossed over or ignored and some inaccuracies of a very minor kind were present.

To compare with "Senna" is unfair as one is a "movie" while the other is a doco. The doco, in my opinion, in this instance contains greater distortion than the movie, with the childish idol worship and glossing over of certain indisputable facts throughout "Senna", as well as the ridiculously one sided portrayal of the Prost controversies.

Rush banishes the bitter memory of flops like "Grand Prix" and "Le Mans" and other more recent farces. My opinion only....
And Days of Thunder, Talladega Nights , the list goes on........
