FORMULA ONE fans were left amazed by Sir Lewis Hamilton's outfit tribute to Ayrton Senna.
The seven-time world champion will bid to pick up his first win of what has been a torrid season for Mercedes on Sunday afternoon in the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Hamilton and his Mercedes team went through their traditional pre-race motions and familiarised themselves with the track at the Autodromo José Carlos Pace on Thursday.

Hamilton donned a black two-piece leather combo which included a spray-painted Brazilian flag across the front of the trousers.
The suit was also adorned with green stripes and an image of Senna, whose name was written in italics, on the back.

After the race, Mercedes chief Toto Wolff said: “Today I think it was a first where he said ‘the car is actually good!’
"But it was a brilliant, brilliant drive and we have these oscillations in performance.
"We don’t really know, sometimes the tyres stick, sometimes not.
“The smiles on our faces because the car was strong.
"I think once Lewis was in free air, we had so much margin on the medium, fastest lap at the end. It was good.”
