The McLaren team does not feature triple World Champion Ayrton Senna, instead Michael Andretti and the driver who would replace him later that season, Mika Häkkinen, are featured. However, Senna's face is included in the game's Edit mode for use with custom drivers, of which two can be saved in a cartridge.

In addition to Nakajima, Template:Ifnumber World Champion Nigel Mansell also appears as free agent driver, of which he, Nakajima, or any of the player-created drivers can be chosen to replace any of the default drivers, but default drivers cannot be swapped across teams. Nelson Piquet was initially featured as one of the free agent drivers according to a cartridge containing an early build of the game, but he was removed from the final game.
