Ayrton Senna's record-breaking feats at the Monaco Grand Prix are being celebrated this weekend in spectacular fashion.

Senna won six Monaco GPs throughout his career, a Formula 1 record, as the Brazilian became synonymous with the world-famous track.

2024 marks 30 years since the three-time F1 champion's death, following injuries sustained at the 1994 San Marino GP.

McLaren have unveiled a special livery in Monaco

Senna remembered with unique tribute

McLaren have already unveiled a special livery to celebrate Senna's life, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri racing in cars that replicate the legend's iconic helmet.

Norris himself has also revealed a special helmet as a tribute to Senna, with the young Brit resembling the icon in his freshly painted car.

Now, LEGO have celebrated Senna's legacy at Monaco with a full-size replica of the champion's iconic MP4/4 car, made entirely of plastic bricks.

The MP4/4 was one of the most successful F1 cars of all time, winning all but one race and claiming all but one pole position in the 1988 season, and allowing Senna to win his first world championship, beating team-mate Alain Prost.

The LEGO Group created a full-size replica of the McLaren MP4/4 and a 1:1 replica of Ayrton's helmet.
