How excited are you ahead of this Grand Prix?
Good afternoon everyone. I love coming here. I've been really excited about the trip and just getting back.
Every opportunity I have to spend time here, you learn more about the culture, you are able to engage more.
I know Senna Foundation did an amazing event last night with all the great work that they're doing.
It's the colours, it's Ayrton, it's the culture, the people. You really vibe off that through the whole weekend.
Lewis, you say it's Ayrton. There's a very special thing happening on Saturday evening here.
You're going to be driving his 1990 McLaren. How special is it for you to commemorate him here at Interlagos?
Every time we come here is an opportunity to do that. I think so many of the drivers also do that.
I never in a million years thought I'd ever get to drive Senna's car here.
I remember someone contacted me, my manager told me about it and I jumped at the opportunity.
Back in the day when I was at McLaren I did get the chance to drive the MP4-4 around Silverstone, which was incredible.
But just the thought of driving that car around here.
I remember the races when he finally won here and held the flag.
It will definitely be quite an emotional experience and I hope people are here to see it.
I had a helmet made with his, just his helmet made for me, but I don't know if we're using that one tomorrow.
I think the initial hope was for it to be a surprise.
I had a white suit and his helmet and you'd go out and drive the lap and it would just look like it was him out there.
But somehow it got out there. It's impossible to keep things quiet.
