McLaren sparks Ayrton Senna livery rumours with Sega-themed Miami GP poster

McLaren's promotional poster for the 2025 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, illustrated by Matt Taylor, features the MCL40 alongside Sonic the Hedgehog and gold rings from the Sega franchise, sparking fan speculation about a retro special livery. Fans spotted the silhouette of the McLaren MP4/8, the car Ayrton Senna drove in 1993, within the design. The tribute references Senna's legendary drive at the 1993 European Grand Prix at Donington Park, which was sponsored by Sega, where he charged from fifth to first on the opening lap and received a Sega Sonic trophy on the podium.
