Seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton will honour his hero, the late Ayrton Senna, by driving the legend’s title-winning McLaren MP4\/5B in a tribute event at the Brazilian Grand Prix this weekend. The event, named “Senna Sempre” (Senna Always), marks 30 years since the iconic driver lost his life at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix \u2013 an incident that left an indelible impact on Formula 1.<\/p>\n

“This weekend, there will be the Sao Paulo Formula 1 Grand Prix, an event broadcast by Band and BandSports. And this year, which marks 30 years since Ayrton Senna’s death, the three-time champion will be honoured in Interlagos. The \u201cSenna Forever\u201d event will take place on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe McLaren that Senna drove to win his second championship in 1990 will return to the track, this time driven by none other than Lewis Hamilton,” reported Band, a Brazilian news outlet.<\/p>\n

Hamilton\u2019s demonstration lap, which will take place after the F1 sprint and qualifying session, is the latest in a series of tributes to Senna by the F1 community throughout the 2024 season. Earlier this year, Sebastian Vettel, a four-time World Champion, honoured Senna at Imola by driving Senna\u2019s 1993 McLaren, which is part of Vettel\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n

McLaren also paid homage with a special livery inspired by Senna\u2019s iconic yellow, green, and blue helmet at the Monaco Grand Prix, where Senna famously claimed six victories.<\/p>\n

Hamilton, who has long revered Senna as a role model, debuted in F1 with McLaren in 2007 and has often expressed the influence Senna had on his racing career. He has won three times at Interlagos, the same track where Senna electrified Brazilian fans, and was named an honorary citizen of Brazil last year, further cementing his connection with the Brazilian legend.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Hamilton received a race-worn Senna helmet after matching Senna\u2019s pole position record at the Canadian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

With Hamilton\u2019s recent announcement that he will be joining Ferrari on a multi-year contract beginning in 2025, the tribute also marks a fitting moment to reflect on his journey \u2013 a journey that parallels Senna\u2019s in many ways. The 39-year-old Briton has broken numerous records, including surpassing Michael Schumacher with over 100 race victories and pole positions, solidifying his place as one of the sport\u2019s all-time greats.<\/p>\n
