Ahead of next weekend's Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka, Toro Rosso's drivers visited Honda's F1 research and development center in Sakura.

As he toured the facility, Pierre Gasly could not resist the temptation to sit behind the wheel of a 1991 McLaren-Honda MP4/6, a car that brought the great Ayrton Senna his third and final world title.

Given half a chance, there's no doubt Gasly would have taken the race-winning machine for a spin.

"Always dreamed to seat in that car one day, thanks @HondaRacingF1. Piece of art & history," wrote the Frenchman on Twitter.
