When F1 drivers take historic cars for a spin

Modern F1 drivers often get the thrilling opportunity to pilot iconic historic machinery, offering a unique blend of past and present. Recently, Yuki Tsunoda roared through Mexico City in Honda's RA272, while Lewis Hamilton emotionally revisited his childhood driving Ayrton Senna's McLaren MP4/5B in Sao Paulo, waving the Brazilian flag. Mick Schumacher also had a poignant moment driving his father Michael's Benetton B194 at Spa. These demonstrations bring F1's rich legacy to life, creating unforgettable experiences for both drivers and fans. Even with careful handling, challenges can arise, as Charles Leclerc discovered when he lost brakes in a 1974 Ferrari at Monaco.
