Lewis Hamilton paid a moving tribute to Ayrton Senna by driving the iconic McLaren MP4/5B, the car used by the Brazilian driver in 1990, when he won his second world title. The tribute took place before the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos in Sao Paulo. Hamilton, a seven-time F1 World Champion, wielded a Brazilian flag during his tribute, which was Senna's trademark celebration during his career. "It’s very, very emotional, naturally. I was just revisiting my childhood as I was watching Ayrton race here as a kid. Hearing that sound and… watching him drive here, winning that race, I just couldn’t believe that I just had that chance to do that, and it was really the greatest honor of my career," said Lewis Hamilton. The tribute marked the 30th anniversary of Senna's tragic death, who lost his life on May 1, 1994, at the San Marino GP in Imola, Italy. Hamilton's gesture not only reinvigorated the memory of Senna among Brazilian fans but also brought about a symbolic union between the different generations of drivers.
