Lewis Hamilton says Mercedes has "no hope" of challenging Ferrari on Mexico's straights this weekend, as he has his first opportunity to wrap up his sixth Formula 1 world championship.
Thirty years ago today, it happened: Lap 47 of the 1989 Japanese Grand Prix and Ayrton Senna lunges to the inside of McLaren teammate – and Formula 1 World Championship rival – Alain Prost. What happened next would not only cause huge controversy at the time, and define that year’s title, but spark a fire that would rage for years.
McLaren insists that its decision to make concept changes to its 2020 car does not pose a risk of it throwing away the progress it has made in Formula 1 this season.
More than 25 years after his death, interest in three-time world champion Ayrton Senna remains undimmed as his legend lives on.
