But I thought Brazil hated Lewis Hamilton?
Not at all! He was even declared an honorary citizen of Brazil!

I think his public admiration for Ayrton Senna counts for much more than having won the 2008 title ahead of Massa 😉

Short memories these Brazilians!
Lewis did nothing unfair to Massa, he just won the Title

No, that's true. Lewis didn't do anything wrong. It was Flavio and Bernie!

and Nelsinho Piquet, crashing on purpose to let Alonso win 🤦🏻‍♂️
Although they didn't care about the Hamilton-Massa fight, they just wanted to cause a Safety Car so Alonso could win the race.

What did Bernie have to do with that?

Well according to Massa Bernie admitted that he and Max Moseley knew before the end of the season and covered it up. Hence why he is now suing the FIA. This is important because after the end of the season it cannot be changed.

Bernie allegedly admitted that the race should have been deleted from the Championship and thus Massa would have been WDC for 2008.

TAG Heuer recently posted this on their Instagram Stories. They seem to be confused (or ignorant) about their own history yet again.

^That is not the Senna Edition 6000, this one is. ::facepalm1::

In addition, TAG is showing ref WH5151 with the blue strap option, implying that Senna wore it this way.

But in all the pictures I've seen, the strap that Senna wore in 1994 was black.

Some pics from inside the Senna Club at the Sao Paulo GP.
Viviane Senna (Ayrton's sister) poses with her children (Bruno, Lalalli, & Bianca) next to Senna's '87 Camel Lotus.

Senna's TAG Heuer sponsored Go-Kart, from the last Senna vs Prost duel at the '93 Elf Masters Kart race.

Amazing! So these cars are not computer generated but replicas made for the series! 😳 These replicas look great! They could sell them for a high price to collectors when the filming of the series is over!

a new mistery watch ?

I believe Senna is wearing the same watch in this pic. It appears to be another digital watch, perhaps a Casio or Seiko again.

As he's with Adriane Galisteu, the pic is from '93 or '94.

The kit that I'm sure to get is Mansell's Williams FW14B. It'll pair nicely with Senna's McLaren MP4/4. Bonus is that Lego got the rear tires better proportioned on the Williams.

Cool that. You could probably buy those separately to mod your MP4/4, but then would they be out of context brand wise?
