Although inconsequential, McLaren has won its first test of the United States Grand Prix weekend in Austin.
McLaren has been granted an early victory at the 2024 F1 United States Grand Prix in Austin, before the track action even begins, thanks to their chrome-themed livery. Alongside Haas and Alpine, McLaren is one of the three teams running a special livery at the Circuit of the Americas for this event. The chrome theme was chosen to show support for sponsor Google Chrome and pay homage to McLaren’s liveries from the ‘chrome era’ between 2006 and 2014. F1 fans have voted McLaren’s look as their favorite among the three special liveries, with over two-thirds of respondents favoring it in a recent poll by RacingNews365. This victory marks McLaren’s first success in Austin since Lewis Hamilton’s win in 2012. The question now remains: can McLaren build on this early triumph at the United States Grand Prix?
