Tribute enough

Sir,
I have been waiting to see if there would be a special television programme acknowledging Enzo Ferrari’s contribution to motor racing. Unexpectedly it came in the form of the Italian Grand Prix.

The sight of the two Ferraris sweeping past Senna’s stranded McLaren-Honda, and the roar of the crowd, was tribute enough. In the context of McLaren-Honda’s domination this season, this was some victory. The “Old Man” must have smiled.

We have had McLaren-Fords, McLaren-Serenissimas, McLaren-BRMs, McLaren-Cosworths, McLaren-Alfas, McLaren-TAGs, and now McLaren-Hondas. A Ferrari is a Ferrari.
