McLaren to trial recycled carbon fibre at F1’s US GP
McLaren has partnered with V Carbon to pioneer the use of recycled carbon on its MCL60 car. Initially, it will be used on the cockpit branding panels of the cars driven by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. If successful, McLaren plans to continue using the material for the remainder of the 2023 F1 season and explore further use in future cars. Carbon fibre has been an integral part of F1 car design for years, but its demand is expected to double in the next decade. By using recycled carbon fibre, McLaren hopes to develop a fully circular F1 car by 2030 and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the manufacturing process.
