From the production team that made the televised history of motor racing, The Power and The Glory, comes a new seven-part series on a year in the life of the McLaren Formula 1 racingteam.
Cameras followed McLaren, and team boss Ron Dennis , through the highs and lows of the 1993 Grand Prix season, a season in which number one driver Ayrton Senna began by complainingthat his car was not competitive and ended with him signingto drive for arch-rivals Williams next year. It was a year, too, in which McLaren signed Michael Andretti , the American IndyCar champion, to drive as their number two - a gamble that didn't come off.
The first programme comes from the Portuguese Grand Prix where the Formula 1 title was settled, where Senna announced his move and where
Mika Hakkinen replaced
Andretti in the number two car.
