(MENAFN- B2Press) MONACO – The McLaren Formula 1 Team announced today that they will feature a special livery inspired by Ayrton Senna on their cars for the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix.

In collaboration with Senna Global and McLaren Racing's official partner, OKX, the special event“OKX Proudly Presents: McLaren SENNA” honors Senna's incredible racing legacy.

Senna, McLaren's most successful driver, raced for the team from 1988-1993, winning 35 out of his 41 Grand Prix victories and securing three Drivers' Championships and four Constructors' Championships during his time in Woking. Monaco holds a special significance for Senna fans, as he won an impressive six victories there, including five consecutive wins from 1989-1993, earning him the title“King of Monaco.” This legacy makes the Circuit de Monaco particularly meaningful for the team.

McLaren Automotive also introduced a special design of the McLaren Senna road car in honor of Ayrton Senna's legacy. Named Senna Sempre, this special McLaren Senna blends the Formula 1 appearance with similar design elements. Designed by McLaren Special Operations and hand-painted, the special livery features the yellow, green, and blue color scheme inspired by Ayrton's helmet, with meticulously detailed portraits of Ayrton drawn using a dot matrix technique. The design includes other elements paying homage to Senna.

The team will also use Senna-inspired kits for the weekend, with both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri wearing special design overalls. Fans can support the event honoring Senna by accessing an exclusive range of products inspired by Senna and the McLaren team's colors and look from his era. The Senna x Monaco series will be available for purchase from the McLaren Store.
