With just about a month left before we hit the track again, McLaren has set the excitement soaring by becoming the first team to unveil their 2024 livery. The unexpected reveal has surely thrilled their fans.
Arguably the most impressive McLaren livery in the last 3-4 years, the new car, named MCL38, is set to make its debut during a Shakedown at Silverstone on February 14th, followed by testing at the Bahrain International Circuit on February 21st.
The fresh livery boasts an increased presence of papaya, catering to the delight of papaya fans, coupled with the touch of Anthracite. The chrome finishing adds the perfect finishing touch. Heading into the 2024 season, McLaren maintains stability in its driver lineup, featuring Lando Norris and arguably the reigning Best Rookie of the last season, Oscar Piastri. The team is geared up to take on the Red Bulls and contend for the championship.
“We’re delighted to launch our 2024 Formula 1 livery ahead of the new season,” said McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown.
“The design looks awesome, and I can’t wait to go racing and see it come to life on track next month.
“We didn’t start 2023 as we wanted but Andrea and the team did a great job following the organisational restructure coming into action, and the hard work continues as we carry that excellent momentum into the 2024 campaign.
“I’m confident the exciting pairing of Lando and Oscar will continue to create more mega memories together after such an impressive second half of last year, which saw the team finish fourth in the championship with 302 points. These are all steps forward from the year before as we continue our mission to push and compete at the front of the grid.”
Lando Norris said: “I’m looking forward to the new season ahead, it will be my sixth in Formula 1 and I'm hoping to carry the momentum we gained as a team at the end of last season to hit the ground running in Bahrain. The new livery looks great with the inclusion of segments from last year’s enhancements, I’m sure the fans will love it as much as me.
“Everyone at the factory has worked incredibly hard in the off season, and I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of the 2024 car to challenge our competitors towards the front of the grid.”
Oscar said: “The 2024 livery looks really cool and I'm looking forward to racing in the iconic colours of McLaren for a second season. I made some special memories with the team in my rookie year, securing two podiums and a Sprint win.
“I‘m going to work hard alongside the whole team to take those results into the start of the new season and compete well with our competitors to give the fans more memorable moments.”
The bold and surprising reveal has undoubtedly positioned McLaren strongly and confidently for the upcoming 2024 season. With the anticipation building up, it's shaping up to be an exciting return to the track for McLaren and their dedicated fans."
