“Of course Lewis is the right person to get that chance, and to do it here at Interlagos in such a special year for Ayrton, it’s a very unique moment for the Brazilian fans, for Lewis, for all of us as drivers to enjoy the moment together and keep doing this tribute to Ayrton that he deserves.

“He was my idol and hero since I was very, very young, that’s why I started to look at Formula 1, watching the movies. I think him being from South America, it’s a little bit more of a relationship to me, how he got to Formula 1 and how he fought his path to where he arrived. He’s definitely a big inspiration for me and it’s going to be great to see his car out here.”

The SENNA SEMPRE (SENNA FOREVER) initiative by Honda and McLaren celebrates Senna’s victorious career, three decades of his legacy, and his deep connection with the Brazilian fans. Attendees are also invited to dress in green and yellow colours and join the celebration.

Following Hamilton’s lap in the MP4/5B, the famous car – which saw Senna claim the second of his three drivers’ titles – will be displayed near the pit garages, giving those on their way to the Pitlane Walk an exclusive viewing of an iconic piece of F1 history.
