Whereas the Japanese gaming big sponsored the rival Williams staff that 12 months, Senna dominated the race after going from fifth to first on the opening lap. Throughout the podium ceremony, Senna obtained a Sega Sonic trophy.
“Sonic particular livery coming?” one fan commented in response to the Woking outfit’s Miami Grand Prix poster, whereas one other added: “McLaren X Sonic particular livery PLEASE I BEG.”
“I like the nod to Donington ’93 on the left (which was sponsored by Sega, with Senna getting a Sonic trophy for successful),” one other fan posted.
As many followers pointed to a Sega-themed livery for the upcoming race in Florida, some urged the collaboration to end result within the McLaren F1 automobile and drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri featured within the Sonic Racing Crossworlds sport.
“They higher be including a model of the McLaren System 1 automobile to Sonic Racing Crossworlds,” another person posted, and one other fan wrote: “ADD LANDO NORRIS AND OSCAR PIASTRI TO SONIC RACING CROSSWORLDS ALREADY YOU COWARDS.”
Whereas the particular livery has not been confirmed, Sonic serves as McLaren’s official gaming associate, and the race at Laborious Rock Stadium will mark the staff’s one thousandth F1 grand prix.
