Video: New 'Senna' film trailer revealed

If Jeremy Clarkson's impassioned retrospective of the great Ayton Senna in the last series of Top Gear whetted your appetite for a feature-length look at the legend then Asif Kapadia's biopic is likely to be of great interest.

The BAFTA winner's new documentary is thought to span the three-time world champion's entire career and, unlike other similar projects, the film has been fully sanctioned by Bernie Ecclestone's Formula One Management and the Senna family.

This is the first trailer of the film that has come to light, and though it may be partly in Japanese, it does seem to strike just the right tone for an in-depth study into a difficult, intensely passionate and almost unbelievably talented young man.
