Alain Prost has hit out at the biographical mini-series about F1 legend Ayrton Senna.

The six-part series - called Senna - is a𝕴 biographical sports drama based on the three-time world champion who won the 1988, 1990 and 1991 world titles for McLaren.

Senna was tra🐲gically killed while racing for Williams after a crash at the 199🍸4 San Marino Grand Prix.

Prost and Senna endured a fierce rivalry which went down🎶 in F1 folklore as one of the greatest of all time.

Following Prost’s retirement, the pair put their spectacular on-track battles to on😼e side andꦗ became friends.

Four-time world champion Prost, 69, has criticised the mak♔ers of the Netflixꦇ series, which has been met with mixed reviews since its release last November.

"I'm sure Ayrton wouldn't like it, not least because it shows a lack of sensitivity," Prost told RMꦿC Motori

"It's🅺 a great story and you shouldn't tell things🌟 that weren't true out of thin air.

"If you have to do something 𓆏commercial, it's not nice to do it in Senna's name. I don't like it and I don't accept it.”

Senna was filmed in partnership with hᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ�♏�ᩚᩚᩚis family. Ayrton’s sister Viviane said in 2020 that “it is very special to be able to announce that we will tell the story that only a few people know about him.

“The Senna family is committed in makinꦗg this project something totally unique and unprecedented.”

Prost was also criti💞cal of the 2010 Senna documentary film that achieved widespread acclaim from fans and critics.

“I resent the film that was done,” Prost said. “They could have really told a fabulous story, because there was what happened when we were racing and theꦛn after [I retired].

“The film claims his last message ‘I miss you Alain’ was fake. 🀅Well I think the film𓄧 was fake.”
