Ayrton Senna’s family demands Adriane Galisteu’s exclusion from the pilot series
Coming soon, the three-time Formula 1 world champion Ayrton Senna will win a series about his life. However, one of the most important figures in her life was almost not included in Netflix’s production history: Adriane Galisteu. The presenter, who was the pilot’s girlfriend at the time of his death in 1994, was almost left out of the series at the request of the Senna family.
According to the website Notícias da TV, the request happened because the champion’s family never accepted the relationship between the two very well. The request, however, was denied by the series’ creators, but Galisteu had his importance reduced in history.
This happened because series executives claimed that it would not be possible to tell Senna’s story without mentioning Adriane, who was with the driver for more than a year before his fatal accident in Imola, Italy. But to avoid problems with Viviane SennaAyrton’s sister and president of the Ayrton Senna Institute, they reached a consensus that the presenter’s character will appear quickly in the production.
