McLaren will sport a special Ayrton Senna-inspired livery at this weekend’s Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix.
McLaren has opted to pay tribute to Senna – the most successful driver in its history – at a venue where he claimed a record six victories during his career.
The yellow, green and blue represents Senna’s iconic helmet design, and the colours of Brazil, and the livery will feature on the MCL38s of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in Monaco.
“The team is proud to recognise and celebrate the extraordinary life and racing legacy of Ayrton Senna through this McLaren livery,” said McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown.
“Senna remains revered and respected as Formula 1’s greatest icon, and McLaren’s most decorated driver.
“His impact on McLaren is enormous, not only through his racing record but also presence within the team, and now his legacy, so it’s an honour to race for him at his most successful circuit in his green, yellow and blue colours.”
“With it being the thirtieth anniversary of his passing, the team are choosing to recognise and celebrate his life at one of his favourite and most successful places to race, Monaco. We look forward to racing in this vibrant and beautiful livery this weekend.”
McLaren has also announced a special one-off version of the McLaren Senna, named Senna Sempre, complementing the MCL38 livery.
Added Bianca Senna, niece of Ayrton: “It’s an honour to recognise Ayrton through these liveries in collaboration with both McLaren Racing and McLaren Automotive.
“It’s a fantastic way to celebrate his life and legacy through his iconic colours on both cars. McLaren meant a lot to him, and together they achieved a lot of success, much of which he is still remembered for today by so many. It will be special to see it race the streets of Monaco, a circuit which gave him so much joy and many triumphs.”
