Ahead of the race weekend Lewis posted a special message about Senna on his social media channels.
“My greatest inspiration,” Hamilton wrote.
“It was the way he raced, his passion for life and for the sport. But more than anything it was the way he faced alone a system that wasn’t always kind to him.
“May Ayrton Senna’s legacy live on forever, especially vibrant this weekend,” concluded the seven-time champion.
Back in 2017, the Briton was given a replica helmet by Senna’s family, after he matched his tally of 65 pole positions.
