Before that, on Thursday (31), the car will be displayed at an event on Avenida Faria Lima, the economic epicenter of the capital of São Paulo. The agenda will feature the presence of Emerson Fittipaldi.
The tribute car was even highlighted in the program this Tuesday (29) at the Interlagos Autódromo, in the final stretch of the assembly of the 2024 São Paulo Grand Prix.
Hamilton never hid his idolatry and identification with Ayrton Senna. The Brit, who even has honorary Brazilian citizenship, already drove the three-time champion’s 1988 McLaren when he was still a driver for the British team. Hamilton was also thrilled in 2017 when he won a helmet from his idol after equaling Senna’s number of pole positions at the Canadian GP.
The person who also paid tribute to Ayrton on the 30th anniversary of the Brazilian’s death was Sebastian Vettel, who drove the 1993 McLaren at the 2024 Emilia Romagna GP, in Imola. On that occasion, the German, who owns the car, stopped on the main straight with the flags of Brazil and Austria, in tribute to Senna and Roland Ratzemberger, who also died on the weekend of the 1994 San Marino GP.
Senna will be one of the honorees at the São Paulo GP this weekend, alongside Gil de Ferran e Wilsinho Fittipaldi. The race is the 21st of the 2024 Formula 1 season.
