McLaren F1 Car LaunchFebruary 14, 2024 at 2:25–3:25 p.m.

McLaren have become the first Formula 1 team to unveil their 2024 look by revealing their livery for the upcoming season.

It features more papaya, which has been a staple of the colour scheme since 2018 in referring to their early cars, compared to last year’s livery. Anthracite is the other dominant colour – along with hints of chrome, the latter being a colour used more extensively by the team from 2006 to 2014.

The 2024 challenger will be named the MCL38 and is due to break cover on February 14, when the team complete a shakedown at Silverstone. It will then head to Bahrain for pre-season testing, which begins on February 21.

The British team will run an unchanged line-up of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, with Team Principal Andrea Stella set for his second season in charge. He’s been joined by respected ex-Red Bull technical wizard Rob Marshall and former Ferrari aerodynamic specialist David Sanchez, the duo starting work on January 2.
