In collaboration with unchain technology company OKX, the Woking squad has designed a colour scheme dubbed “Legend Reborn”, celebrating the era of the MP4 cars produced by McLarens between 1981 and 1996 when sponsored by Marlboro cigarettes. The iconic red-and-white design from that period is widely recognized in F1 history. McLaren states that the livery combines the MP4 era with their iconic papaya to honor the team’s heritage and legends like Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, and Niki Lauda. Louise McEwen, Chief Marketing Officer of McLaren Racing, expressed excitement for the Legend Reborn livery in Singapore, uniting old and new fans. McLaren has previously introduced special liveries this season, including the ‘McLaren SENNA presented by OKX’ at the Monaco Grand Prix to honor Ayrton Senna. Other teams like Mercedes and RB also presented special liveries this weekend, with Mercedes using a green scheme to celebrate their partnership with Petronas and RB releasing a denim-themed design with sponsor Hugo.
