Lewis given helmet of hero Senna

LEWIS HAMILTON was left “shaking and speechless” after being presented with Ayrton Senna’s helmet after securing pole position for today’s Canadian Grand Prix.

Hamilton’s time of 1min 11.459sec gave him his 65th pole – the same as Senna.

And, afterwards, Senna’s family presented Hamilton with a helmet once worn by the F1 legend, who died in a crash while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

“I am shaking,” said Hamilton (above).

“I am speechless. Ayrton was my favourite driver.

“He inspired me to be where I am today.

“To receive this is a great honour. Thank you to the Senna family.”
