'Senna' Wins Best Series Creator Category At The 2025 PLATINO Awards

This Sunday (27), the winners of the 2025 PLATINO Awards were announced during a ceremony held in Madrid, Spain. Senna, a Netflix miniseries, won the award for Best Series Creator, honoring Vicente Amorim, Fernando Coimbra, Luiz Bolognesi and Patrícia Andrade.

The production was also nominated in three other categories: Best Miniseries or TV Series (Fiction or Documentary), Best Male Performance in a Miniseries with Gabriel Leone as Ayrton Senna, and Best Supporting Male Performance in a Miniseries with Hugo Bonemer as Nelson Piquet.

Over six episodes, Senna depicts, for the first time in fiction, the journey of overcoming, misunderstandings, joys, and sorrows of Ayrton, exploring his personality and personal relationships. The story begins with the start of the three-time Formula 1 champion's racing career, from karting to his move to England to compete in Formula Ford, and continues up to the tragic accident in Imola, Italy, during the San Marino Grand Prix. 

Senna reached the #1 spot on Netflix’s Global Top 10 for non-English language series. Produced by Gullane, with the support of Senna Brands and the driver’s family, the miniseries is directed by Vicente Amorim—who also serves as showrunner—alongside director Julia Rezende.

About Ayrton Senna In the world's fastest and most global sport, Ayrton Senna is considered by many to be the fastest F1 driver of all time. His impressive figures help explain why the driver has earned the title of sporting legend: winning three F1 world titles, 41 victories, 65 pole positions and 80 podiums between 1984 and 1994. Senna, however, is much more than just statistics and records: the Brazilian was responsible for some of the most magical moments in world motorsports. Ayrton established a new level of excellence in the sport and was a legend in the art of surpassing his own limits. Senna’s passion for a better Brazil, in addition to his deep-rooted drive and determination both on and off the track, set him apart. His legacy inspired the founding of the Ayrton Senna Institute. For 28 years, its mission has been to develop well-rounded individuals, preparing them for all aspects of life in the 21st century.
