For a young driver in the early stages of his career, meeting Hamilton – a driver with 103 Grand Prix victories and a dominant figure in the sport – was a defining moment. His jubilant leap after the encounter was met with smiles from onlookers and fans online, who celebrated the innocence and passion that fuels the sport's new talents.

Lewis Hamilton an adopted son of Brazil!

Lewis Hamilton, in Brazil this weekend for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, is set to honour another Brazilian legend, Ayrton Senna. He will do this with a tribute drive that will mark 30 years since Senna's tragic death at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

Known for idolizing Senna, Hamilton will take to the Interlagos track in Senna’s iconic 1990 McLaren MP4/5B – the car in which Senna clinched his second world championship title. The tribute, part of the "Senna Sempre" ("Senna Always") event, will take place on Saturday following the F1 sprint and qualifying sessions.

Hamilton’s participation in this celebration reflects his deep admiration for the Brazilian icon, who left an indelible mark on the sport and continues to inspire drivers worldwide. Senna’s legacy has been celebrated in various ways throughout the F1 season, with Sebastian Vettel even driving Senna's 1993 McLaren at Imola earlier this year.
