This second episode of "Ayrton Senna do Brasil" tells the story of an Ayrton who seemed to enter a trance while racing. His dedication and obsession with perfection in every turn and straight placed him among the fastest drivers in the world. Berger recalls a unique spectacle during Senna’s time—beyond the race and his winning strategies, it was the pole position show. Back then, there were no qualifying rounds or tire changes; it was all about skill. Ayrton had a strategy of going out in the final moments to smash the track time, a breathtaking and almost otherworldly display. Gerhard Berger describes Senna's races as extraordinary, almost supernatural.

The third episode delves into Ayrton Senna's ultra-competitive personality, avoiding the patriotic tone often used when discussing the Formula 1 legend. It highlights different sides of Senna: the man admired for his kindness and achievements, like the historic 1991 victory in Interlagos, but also the athlete whose obsession with winning sometimes led to unsportsmanlike behavior on the track. This episode focused on Senna’s intense rivalry with Alain Prost. The 1990 Japanese GP collision between Senna and Prost was portrayed as an "unsportsmanlike act" by the Brazilian but also as retaliation for being "cheated" by the FIA the year before, which cost him the title. While celebrating Senna as "the Brazil that succeeded," Galvão Bueno acknowledges that provoking the 1990 crash with Prost to secure the championship was a wrongful act.
