Ayrton Senna with the Hagop family, 1987
"On this trip, we also ran into the Hagop family and spent some time with them on tours around the islands of Angra, as you can see in the photo above. But only now did I learn from a conversation between Mr. Hagop and Ayrton that took place at that time.
Hagop recounts: "I asked him: Are you going to McLaren?"
He said: "I'm going to McLaren, and I have Alain Prost there. No one knows, I'm just a step below him. No one talks, everyone is holding back information. Grandpa is going to suffer a lot this year."
We both laughed, and he became world champion in his very first year at McLaren."
