Senna continues to be honored and admired as the most legendary figure in Formula 1, and the most celebrated driver of McLaren.

His influence at McLaren is substantial, not just because of his track achievements but also due to his role in the team, and now his enduring legacy. It's a privilege to compete on his behalf at his most victorious track, donning his iconic green, yellow, and blue hues.

"We're thrilled to work together on the 'McLaren SENNA presented by OKX' initiative alongside Senna Brand, in collaboration with our Official Presenting Partner OKX, and with our peers at McLaren Automotive."

As we mark the 30th year since his departure, the team has decided to honor and commemorate his life at Monaco, a location where he enjoyed significant success and considered one of his top racing venues.

"We are excited to compete in this weekend's race with our lively and stunning race colors."

The design is a joint project between Senna Brand and McLaren Racing's leading partner, OKX.

Haider Rafique, Chief Marketing Officer at OKX, expressed, "Our partnership for the Senna design at the Monaco Grand Prix goes beyond a mere homage. It symbolizes a festivity of Ayrton Senna's unparalleled legacy and his significant influence on both the racing community and McLaren as a whole."

"Senna served as an inspiration for many, and at OKX, we aim to connect the younger generation with his enduring legacy."

"This is the reason we were compelled to join this effort, not solely to honor a celebrated racer, but to serve as an ongoing tribute that connects with both enthusiasts and competitors, guaranteeing that Senna's impact endures within Formula 1 and further afield."

Bianca Senna, representing the Senna Brand, stated: "Collaborating with both McLaren Racing and McLaren Automotive to feature Ayrton in these liveries is a privilege."

Commemorating his life and achievements by showcasing his signature colors on both vehicles is a splendid tribute. He held McLaren in high regard, and their collaboration led to numerous victories, for which he continues to be celebrated by many even now.
