McLaren is marking 30 years of Ayrton Senna\u2019s incredible legacy of performance with a powerful and emotive tribute that visually represents his vibrant personality and outlook on life, and his three Formula 1 World Championship titles and five Monaco Grand Prix victories with McLaren.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In parallel with a one-off livery for the MCL38 Formula 1 cars that will be driven by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix, McLaren Automotive celebrates Ayrton Senna\u2019s talent, racing achievements and more with the Senna Sempre livery; a unique, hand-painted tribute to Ayrton applied on a pre-production McLaren Senna from McLaren\u2019s own heritage collection.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Senna Sempre livery has been created as part of McLaren\u2019s ongoing association with the Ayrton Senna Institute. It showcases not only the peerless paint mastery and craftmanship that McLaren Automotive is uniquely placed to deliver through McLaren Special Operations (MSO) but also distinctive visuals honoring the Formula 1 career of Ayrton Senna, his tenacious drive for perfection, Brazilian nationality, and McLaren racing history \u2013 including on the streets of Monaco \u2013 through bright and bold paint colors and bespoke interior treatments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Ayrton Senna was born to race, and his passion for performance and perfection lives on at McLaren. The McLaren Senna bears his name and embodies his spirit \u2013 it is the ultimate road-going McLaren for focused track performance, and this masterfully detailed inspiration captures Ayrton\u2019s infectious energy. Our collaboration with McLaren Racing to honor the Senna racing legacy 30 years on is a shared celebration of Ayrton\u2019s unique racing abilities, and the Monaco street circuit he made his own is the perfect place to reflect on his incredible achievements.” <\/em>Michael Leiters, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The team is proud to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary life and racing legacy of Ayrton Senna through this McLaren livery. Senna remains revered and respected as Formula 1\u2019s greatest icon, and McLaren\u2019s most decorated driver. His impact on McLaren is enormous, not only through his racing record but also his presence within the team, and now his legacy, so it\u2019s an honor to race for him at the most successful circuit in his green, yellow, and blue colors.” <\/em>Zak Brown, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Racing<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s an honor to recognize 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 colors 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.” <\/em>Bianca Senna, Senna Global\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The McLaren Senna, revealed in December 2017, is the most extreme McLaren road car ever made. Designed, engineered, and developed as the ultimate track-oriented car for the road, it delivers total commitment to uncompromised performance.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In creating the Senna Sempre, McLaren transformed the visuals of a pre-production McLaren Senna that is part of its own heritage collection. Used for vehicle attribute validation of the high levels of performance and engagement in the McLaren Senna production models that followed, the car was also extensively captured on camera to support the original launch campaign and was one of the cars at the global media test drive, held at the Estoril Grand Prix circuit in June 2018. Retained by McLaren as a pre-production car, it has since featured in high-profile media performance tests and been part of landmark McLaren moments, including the royal opening of the McLaren Composites Technology Centre (MCTC) in Sheffield that was attended by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (now the Prince and Princess of Wales), and HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Bahrain.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Inspired by Ayrton Senna\u2019s legacy and philosophy, the McLaren Senna bears both the name of the legendary Formula 1 driver and champion and the Senna \u2018Double S\u2019 logo alongside the McLaren badge. The Double S also features within the intricate paintwork, as one of many individual visual tributes to Ayrton Senna that align with details on the bespoke MCL38 Formula 1 car; the logo is visible on the blue panel bridging the vents housed within the front clamshell, which complements the Senna script on the bright green rear wing.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Paints selected for the Senna Sempre livery reflect the colors of the Brazilian flag, with bright yellow, green, and blue tones brought together using a wash technique newly developed by MSO. This technique allows the paints to blend into each other without creating any additional colors, while also evoking speed and the movement of a waving flag. This effect is also applied to the McLaren badge on the nose of the car. Green and white border lines running around the car\u2019s glasshouse and the venting at the base of the windscreen are directly inspired by the detailing on Ayrton Senna\u2019s iconic race helmet design.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the panels shrouding the large air intakes on the side of the car, MSO\u2019s paint technicians have created two distinct representations of Ayrton Senna. Applied by hand and requiring exceptional attention to detail, the dot matrix effect comes to life from a distance, depicting him on and off track.<\/p>\n

Contrasting with the bright gloss paint finishes, satin finish exposed visual carbon fiber panels feature on the car\u2019s exterior and interior. Inside, this complements bespoke yellow Alcantara upholstery with green perforations and a white 12 o\u2019clock marker on the car\u2019s steering wheel. The sills of the black Alcantara upholstered doors are decorated with Ayrton Senna\u2019s signature alongside his quotation explaining his ethics and philosophy; \u201cI have no idols. I admire work, dedication, and competence.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

With a record six victories at the Monaco Grand Prix, Ayrton Senna\u2019s name is synonymous with Formula 1\u2019s flagship race. His remarkable performances on the iconic street circuit are represented by watermarks of the race numbers his Formula 1 cars wore for his five Monaco victories with McLaren, achieved in succession from 1989 to 1993.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

McLaren\u2019s Senna celebration on track sees the McLaren Formula 1 Team he won his three World Championships in honor of his life and legacy with a bespoke one-off livery for the MCL38 race car. The vibrant yellow, green, and blue colorway inspired by Ayrton Senna\u2019s race helmet that features in the evocative Senna Sempre artwork, replaces the standard livery of the McLaren Formula 1 cars that will race in Monaco.<\/p>\n

The unique McLaren Senna with Senna Sempre livery will be on display in Monaco throughout the extended Grand Prix weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
