Marlboro on White (Senna)

A striking tribute to one of Formula 1’s most iconic combinations of car, driver, and livery, this original hand-cut vinyl artwork features the legendary 1991 Marlboro McLaren MP4/6 as driven by Ayrton Senna. Presented in a clean, graphic style, the piece captures the unmistakable form of the championship-winning McLaren and the bold simplicity of one of motorsport’s most recognizable color schemes.

This artwork is the first in a special mini-series that looks back to the beginnings of the Speed Icons collection, when the images were created purely from carefully arranged colored vinyl shapes rather than traditionally drawn lines. Focusing on iconic racing liveries based on white cars, the series revisits that original approach with a fresh perspective, celebrating both the visual power of historic motorsport design and the distinctive hand-cut process behind the work.

Created on A3 artboard, this particular piece also carries a deeper significance, having been started on 1 May 2024 in memory of 30 years since Ayrton Senna’s passing. The result is a thoughtful and visually bold artwork that pays tribute not only to the MP4/6 itself, but also to one of the greatest and most revered drivers in Formula 1 history.
