You know what people say about heroes? Our heroes of today had heroes of their own back in the day. That’s how the current crop of athletes have become the best at what they do; they had role models to look up to when they were young. If you’re one of the current crop of Formula One->ke190 drivers, there’s one name that comes to mind: the late, great Ayrton Senna.

Jenson Button->ke903 and Lewis Hamilton->ke2220 are arguably two of the biggest names in F1 these days. But at one point, they too were racing fans – and Senna fans at that. So when they were able to take a look inside the historic McLaren->ke284 garage – home to the team’s historic racecars from yesteryear - you kind of expected that they would gravitate towards one that belonged to a certain former World Champion.

Ayrton Senna.

And for two of the most charismatic drivers in the F1 grid today, it was a rare moment of silent contemplation given the rich tradition and long history that they were surrounded in. And to be honest, it was a side of both Button and Hamilton that we actually enjoyed.

For a moment, they were just like us: race fans who had the opportunity to sit in the same seat that they’re beloved hero once occupied.
