Tony Kanaan got to see his favorite car, the 1991 McLaren MP4/6 driven to a world championship by his friend and hero Ayrton Senna, for the first time up close at Sonoma Raceway for the 2023 edition of the Velocity Invitational vintage event, and shares his memories and emotions after viewing the legend's final F1 title-winner.

The last manual transmission car and 12 Cyl car to win the world championship. Driven by the greatest of all time. In my opinion the best sounding car of all time.

Here is a funny story about T. Kanaan and Senna. The later Kart race that he was talking about in 1:11 was organized by Senna in his farm in Tatuí, State of Sao Paulo. There was q qualify for the race, and Tony got the Pole Position, but out of the blue Senna Said: "Let's make this more fun, the race will be done with the inverted positions". So Tony started in the last one. And won the race. Passing everyone, including Senna.

I love how Marshall sent the message to ZB to encourage him to let Tony drive that specific car. I cannot imagine how powerful that moment was for TK. His description of Ayrton Senna is priceless. So powerful. And speaking of just the car. When I think of F1 that is the exact car I see in my head. It is a timeless image!

I wonder if Kanaan would have made it to F1 if Senna had lived. He (and Castroneves) certainly had the talent. I wish there were more Brazilian F1 drivers. The grid just seems incomplete without representation from this great racing country.

Tony deserves to make this dream come true. He is a really a warrior through all his life, and Senna means too much for us, not just a driver, but as an example of how hardwork is important, how look for perfection, how details really do matter. And most of all: an example of real kindness, not the way people do nowadays, mostly to show in social medias, but to give a chance to whom work hard after some achievment.

My favorite driver ever... and the Formula 1 car I fell in love with when I started watching in 1991. How simple they looked and how incredibly efficient they were... Back to Senna, he wanted to win without slowing down. It cost him a victory in Monaco. I, for one, appreciated his tenacity. I saw some of that in Mansell and a young Juan Pablo Montoya. The car wasn't perfect? Who cares! They would drive the thing, end of the story.

Ayrton Senna é é sempre será o melhor piloto da história do automobilismo mundial. Outros possuem resultados impressionantes mas ele é incomparável. O domínio dele sobre a máquina era assustador. Pena que algumas pessoas o prejudicaram demais. O Balestre morreu sem confessar a pilantragem a favor do Prost mas todos vimos o roubo. Max Verstapen é o piloto do momento mas é sujo e nojento como pessoa e desprezível como piloto.
