"I would race with that car today if I could," Hamilton said. The British driver, who will move to Ferrari next season, is sixth in the drivers' championship.

Luciane D'Angelo, 45, was one of the tearful fans watching Hamilton drive at Interlagos. As a child, she used to watch F1 races with her father, who currently suffers from a serious disease she did not disclose.

"I cry because Ayrton's tragic death still leaves us with this massive void. He made children of that time enjoy time with their families even more. He wasn't only one of the greatest F1 drivers in history, but also a person that every Brazilian learned to admire," she said.

Earlier this year, four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel drove Senna's 1993 McLaren at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix during tributes to the Brazilian driver on the 30th anniversary of his death.

Former Brazilian drivers were split about handing the tribute to Senna to his hardcore fan Hamilton. Rubens Barrichello said a Brazilian driver who shared some time in F1 with the three-time champion would have been a better choice.

Two-time champion Emerson Fittipaldi said in an interview that it was "unethical" for organizers to pick the British driver. But, Felipe Massa, who lost the 2008 title to Hamilton near the end of that year's race at Interlagos, agreed with the move.

"Of course, I wanted to drive it myself. But, I respect the decision of the Senna family, fans will love to watch a big fan of Ayrton's like Hamilton driving his car here," Massa said on Saturday. "In the end, every driver would love to have that honor."
