McLaren has introduced a special Ayrton Senna-inspired livery for the Monaco Grand Prix, marking the 30th anniversary of the legend's passing.

On the 30th anniversary of Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna’s death, the Woking-based squad is paying homage with a bespoke livery at this year’s Monaco Grand Prix. The new livery features a design inspired by Senna's iconic yellow, green, and blue helmet.

Senna’s association with McLaren and the Monaco Grand Prix is nothing short of legendary. His unparalleled skill navigating the tight corners and narrow streets of Monaco earned him a record six wins, with an impressive streak of five consecutive victories from 1989 to 1993.
