Ayrton Senna’s logo will permanently feature on McLaren’s F1 cars from the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix onwards.
The late Brazilian legend, who won all three of his Formula 1 World Championships – as well as a record six Monaco Grands Prix – with McLaren, will have his legacy stamped on the MCL36 this weekend and beyond, with the Senna Foundation logo appearing on the car’s halo (main image, courtesy of McLaren).
“Starting from the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix, the McLaren MCL36 will carry the Senna logo, marking our commitment to celebrating his legacy. I can’t think of a better race than the Monaco Grand Prix to commence this recognition of Ayrton’s life,” said McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown.
“Having won the Grand Prix six times, more than any other driver, Ayrton proved that his skill and ability behind the wheel of an F1 car could rarely be matched. This addition to our F1 race cars will be permanent and added with the Senna family’s support. It will be a constant reminder of Ayrton Senna’s sensational talent for us as a team and for all our fans worldwide.
“Ayrton Senna is, and always will be, a McLaren legend. His performances with McLaren, which earned him three Drivers’ World Championships, cemented his place as one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers.
“When he tragically passed in 1994, the entire motorsport world felt a sense of irreplicable loss, but his memory lives on in the hearts and minds of Formula 1 fans around the globe.
“We feel it’s right that we, as McLaren, should recognise his contribution to our sport by carrying his name with us wherever we go racing.”
