This year marks the 30th anniversary of the tragic death of the Brazilian Formula 1 legend at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix in Imola. However, Senna’s true mastery was demonstrated at the Monaco circuit, where he achieved six unparalleled victories, becoming the most successful driver at this track. The onboard video of him tearing through the streets of Monaco in a McLaren has become an iconic moment in Formula 1 history. One of Senna’s most remarkable feats in Monaco was his impressive qualifying lap in 1988, where he outpaced his teammate Alain Prost by almost 1.5 seconds in the same car.
The “McLaren SENNA” campaign, presented by OKX in collaboration with Senna Brand, pays tribute to Ayrton Senna’s remarkable racing legacy. The McLaren Formula 1 team unveiled a unique Senna-inspired livery that will adorn their cars during the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix. The vibrant color scheme in yellow, green, and blue of the livery is a tribute to Senna’s iconic helmet and will be prominently displayed on the MCL38 throughout the race weekend.
Senna’s association with McLaren is legendary, as he achieved 35 of his 41 Grand Prix victories, three driver championships, and four constructor championships during his time with the team from 1988 to 1993. His dominance in Monaco, where he secured six victories, earned him the title of “King of Monaco.” Given the significance of Monaco in Senna’s career, it is a fitting location for McLaren to honor his memory.
In addition to the Formula 1 paint job, McLaren Automotive also revealed a special edition of the McLaren Senna road car called Senna Sempre. This customized vehicle, hand-painted by McLaren Special Operations, incorporates design elements inspired by Senna’s helmet and features skillfully applied dot matrix portraits of Ayrton and other references to Senna.
To further support the campaign on the track, McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will be wearing Senna-inspired kits during the weekend. Fans will also have the opportunity to own a piece of this celebration through a custom line of merchandise inspired by Senna’s colors and McLaren team livery during his era. The Senna x Monaco line will soon be available for purchase at the McLaren Store.
OKX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 technology company, has been a primary partner of the McLaren Formula 1 team, enhancing the overall fan experience and offering exciting opportunities and product innovations. From the limited edition Stealth Mode paint job at the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix to this special campaign honoring Ayrton Senna, OKX continues to stand by the McLaren Formula 1 team.
The 2024 Monaco Grand Prix will take place from May 24 to 26 at the Monaco Circuit in Monte Carlo. Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing, expressed his pride in recognizing and celebrating Ayrton Senna’s extraordinary life and racing legacy through the McLaren paint job. Senna’s impact on McLaren is immeasurable, not only for his racing achievements, but also for his presence within the team. Racing in his iconic green, yellow, and blue colors at his most successful circuit is a true honor for the team.
Haider Rafique, CMO of OKX, emphasized that his collaboration on the Senna painting is more than a tribute; it is a celebration of Senna’s unparalleled legacy and his profound influence on the world of racing and McLaren. OKX aims to bridge the gap between the younger generation and Senna’s legacy, ensuring that his impact continues to resonate in Formula 1 and beyond.
Bianca Senna, from Senna Brand, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to recognize the life and legacy of Ayrton Senna through the paintings created in collaboration with McLaren Racing and McLaren Automotive. McLaren had a special place in Senna’s heart and together they achieved great success that is still remembered by many today. Witnessing McLaren cars racing through the streets of Monaco, a circuit that brought so much joy and triumph to Senna, will be a truly special moment.
