During the Spanish GP weekend, a very special moment took place outside the Barcelona circuit. In a McLaren promotional event, sponsored by Tag Heuer, Ayrton Senna was depicted in a hologram, alongside his number 12 McLaren Honda, the car with which he won his first world title, in 1988. The three-time champion shared the stage with Fernando Alonso, McLaren`s current driver, who described himself as a fan of the Brazilian.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was my idol. I probably became a Formula One driver because of him\u201d, said Alonso to journalists.<\/p>\n
In the course of the event, the audience was treated to scenes of Alonso driving Ayrton\u2019s MP4\/4<\/a>, showing a hypothetical duel between the team`s current car (MP4\/30), driven by Jenson Button, and the 1988 car, which was recently chosen by Racing Magazine as the best F1 car ever<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the event that celebrated a 30-year partnership between Tag Heuer and McLaren, Senna`s images and quotes made for a nostalgic and touching presentation. Take a look at the video.<\/p>\n
