Today sees the launch of a new Netflix drama inspired by the life of triple Formula 1 world champion Ayrton Senna, starring Ferrari's Gabriel Leone as the sporting icon.

This LEGO Icons set was only released in March of this year, shortly before the 30th anniversary of Senna's death.
What to Read Next
The 693-piece model features a scale model of Senna's McLaren MP4/4 – one of the most dominant Formula 1 cars of all time. Senna and his McLaren teammate Alain Prost won 15 out of 16 races in the 1988 season between them.
The LEGO model has working steering and a moving rear wing, plus a detailed replica of its V6 turbo engine and slick tyres used in that era of F1 racing.
The car also has a stand with a built-in plaque featuring facts about its real-life counterpart.

Of course, it comes with a minifigure of Senna in McLaren overalls, complete with his distinctive yellow helmet with blue and green accents, reflecting the colours featured in the Brazilian flag.
The minifigure also has a trophy, and its own stand decorated with a photo of Senna and a quote, plus his Senna 'S' logo.
It was recently confirmed that a second LEGO Icons Formula 1 set will be released next year, celebrating Nigel Mansell's 1992 world championship win along with his Williams FW14B car.
The announcement of a new multi-year partnership between LEGO and the Formula 1 organisation will also see the launch of a LEGO Technic Ferrari in early 2025, plus Speed Champions sets for all 10 teams on the current grid.
Netflix's Senna series premieres in full today on the streaming service, charting his life from his early racing career in Formula Ford to his untimely death in May 1994 at the San Marino grand prix.
The series has been made with the consent and support of Senna's family, including his sister Viviane.
