The memory of Ayrton Senna it did not end with yesterday which coincided with the thirtieth year since his death. Formula One, right on the Imola track that was fatal to him, will organize another tribute to the Paulista champion. Sebastian Vettel will drive the McLaren MP4/8 at the next Emilia-Romagna and Made in Italy Grand Prix which will be held over the weekend from 17 to 19 May.
The German will board the McLaren MP4/8 that belonged to the Brazilian ace. This is the last Woking car driven by the Paulista. Powered by Ford, it achieved 5 victories, including the one that marked the extraordinary feat of the Donington European Grand Prix in which it managed, in less than a lap from the start of the race, to take the lead starting from the fourth spot on the grid: here is the story.

He then achieved a pole position at the last Grand Prix, in Adelaide, Australia, and seven podiums. Sebastian Vettel, in addition to being a top F1 player, has a vast sporting culture. He was the only one who knew how to list all the world champions, in chronological order, for a contest which you can find on Youtube.
The German champion equaled Ayrton Senna's 41 victories at the Hungarian Grand Prix, on 26 July 2015, aboard the Ferrari SF15-T. It was his second victory in the Maranello team.
That achievement was the first step towards becoming one of the immortals of this wonderful sport. Sebastian Vettel belongs to you by right.
