A famous McLaren from the era of Ayrton Senna, known for its Honda engine and Monaco victory, is now housed at Griot’s Garage, located south of Seattle, USA.
This McLaren MP4/7, which was driven by Senna during one of the most memorable Monaco Grand Prix victories in 1992, is considered a gem in Formula 1 history.
During the race, Senna demonstrated exceptional skill by defending against the fast Nigel Mansell, who, after a tire issue, desperately tried to reclaim the lead. This final battle is remembered as one of the greatest displays of defensive driving under pressure.
The car was acquired by Griot’s Garage when McLaren faced financial difficulties and decided to sell some of its historic racing chassis. Larry Chen, a well-known automotive content creator, explored the car on his YouTube channel, offering motorsport fans an in-depth look at its history and significance.
