McLaren reveals livery for Monaco and Spain

The McLaren team has unveiled the livery for the upcoming Monaco and Spanish Grands Prix.

The color scheme of the MCL60 references the Woking team’s “Triple Crown” – only McLaren can boast that its cars and drivers have won three of the most prestigious races in the world – the Monaco Grand Prix, the Indy 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. .

The rear of the MCL60 is decorated in the colors of the McLaren M16C/D driven by Johnny Rutherford in Indianapolis in May 1974. The white colors of the car are a reference to the McLaren MP4/2 Alain Prost, which the French driver used in Monaco won.

The front is painted to commemorate the 1995 Le Mans win by Yannick Dalmas, Mizanori Sekiya and JJ Lehto, who won the legendary overall marathon in a McLaren F1 GTR sports car.

Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing: “The team achieved the greatest success in motorsport by winning the Triple Crown. We are proud to celebrate McLaren Racing’s rich history with a special livery for the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix.

In celebration of the company’s 60th anniversary and Bruce McLaren’s legacy, a unique livery pays homage to three Triple Crown victories.

Lando Norris: “It is a privilege for me to participate in the events dedicated to the 60th anniversary. We have combined three iconic McLaren colors in the car’s colors for the Monaco Grand Prix.

The team has an impressive track record in Monte Carlo and it was a personal honor for me to be on the podium in 2021. We will give everything to race behind the wheel of a fantastic looking car to celebrate the outstanding legacy of Bruce McLaren and the team.”

Oscar Pistri: “The Triple Crown car paint looks fantastic. There is no better way for a McLaren driver to experience your first Monaco Grand Prix in Formula 1.

Bruce McLaren won at Monaco in 1962 and the team has a long history of track success. It is with great pride that I go to the start in a car painted in the same colors as the three race cars that have won the Triple Crown.
