Amidst all the Good wishes, the Brit also received a very special message.

To be recognised and celebrated by a country that calls Ayrton Senna one of their own is a true measure of Lewis’ incredible achievements…” 

He further added, “both on the asphalt of Interlagos and as an advocate for diversity in our sport. “From each member of the team, Lewis, we are incredibly proud of you. ‘Obrigado’ for what we have achieved together so far and we are excited by what is still to come!”
