Exclusive: Lewis Hamilton drives Ayrton Senna’s McLaren as a tribute to the São Paulo GP

Before then, on Thursday (31), the car will be presented at an event on Avenida Faria Lima, the economic heart of the capital city of São Paulo. The presence of the agenda appears Emerson Fittipaldi.

The tribute car was even celebrated in the program this Tuesday (29) at the Interlagos Autodromo, in the last part of the assembly of the 2024 São Paulo Grand Prix.

Hamilton did not hide his idolatry and his identification with Ayrton Senna. The Brit, who even has honorary Brazilian citizenship, had already driven the 1988 three-time champion McLaren when he was still a driver for the British team. Hamilton was also delighted in 2017 when he won a helmet from his idol after equaling Senna’s number of pole positions at the Canadian GP.

Senna will be one of the honorees at the São Paulo GP this weekend, along with him Gil de Ferran e Wilsinho Fittipaldi. The race is the 21st of the 2024 Formula 1 season.
