There's not many racing rivalries that top the one between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, and that infamous duel takes center stage in Netflix’s highly anticipated series, “Senna." The actors tasked with transforming into two of Formula 1’s most iconic figures — Gabriel Leone and Matt Mella, who are portraying Senna and Prost, respectively — certainly had some racing shoes (and also egos) to fill.
Mella (playing Prost) credited another Netflix title , “Drive to Survive,” with reigniting his passion for the sport. “I knew [Senna and Prost] was considered one of the great rivalries of sport, but I didn't know the ins and outs of it. So that was a whole new world to open up."
