Special event celebrating Senna's legacy to take place next month

Sao Paulo is set to host a very special event next month to celebrate the life of Ayrton Senna. The three-time world champion will be remembered on the 9th November, the weekend before the 2019 Brazillian Grand Prix.

Felipe Massa and Emerson Fittipaldi will be present at the event and the pair will have the opportunity to drive in Senna's past cars.

There will be a number of different elements to this event, most notably Esports racing and pit-stop challenges.

“Ayrton Senna is a true legend of our sport and his legacy is both immense and inspiring, " F1's managing director of commercial operations Sean Bratches said.

"It is our honour to bring Formula 1 to the streets of Sao Paulo with our partners Heineken to celebrate his life and his importance to the people of Brazil."
