McLaren has revealed a surprise early look at the livery it will use during the 2024 Formula 1 season
McLaren has revealed a sneak preview of the livery they will use for the 2024 Formula 1 season. This early launch is a first among the teams, as their official car launch will take place on February 14th, a week before pre-season testing begins. The new livery features a black and papaya orange color scheme, removing the blue elements that have been present since 2018. It incorporates elements from the special ‘stealth’ livery used in the Singapore Grand Prix and the chrome numbers from last year’s British GP. The team is excited about the new design and is looking forward to seeing it on the track next month. McLaren had a remarkable turnaround in 2023 after the introduction of a transformative upgrade package, scoring only 17 points in the first eight rounds but earning 155 in the next eight. Under the new technical structure led by team boss Andrea Stella, the team aims to continue their journey towards the front of the grid in 2024. They have made infrastructure upgrades and brought in new personnel in preparation for the upcoming season. The 2024 McLaren car, the MCL38, is the first to benefit from their brand-new wind tunnel.
