Reigning Champions McLaren revealed 2025 F1 Car – MCL39

Reigning Constructors’ Champions McLaren have unleashed their formidable 2025 Formula 1 weapon—the MCL39—during the electrifying F1 75 Live launch at London’s The O2.

The MCL39 roars onto the scene, draped in McLaren’s iconic papaya livery, now intensified with anthracite accents and a flash of teal—a nod to the team’s relentless pursuit of glory and their tradition of evolving championship-winning designs.

Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing, declared:

“We’re delighted to have unveiled our awesome 2025 livery for the MCL39, which our exciting driver line-up of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will take to the track. This marks a special moment in the year as we begin the defence of the FIA Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship title.

In line with McLaren’s longstanding tradition, our 2025 design is a strong evolution of the title-winning livery. We’re now looking forward to getting the season underway and are extremely grateful for the continued support of our valuable partners and fantastic fans. Let’s go racing!”

Team Principal Andrea Stella emphasized:

“The unveiling of the new MCL39 livery is another key milestone in our journey to go racing this season and follows on from the incredible hard work and commitment of the team towards our 2025 challenger.

While we expect to see increased competitiveness up and down the grid as we enter the final year of the current regulations, we have worked hard to hit the ground running and operate at a high standard in everything we do. The aim is to keep competing for podiums and race wins in the 2025 FIA Formula 1 Championship.

I am thankful for the incredible work done by the team and, in particular, for the support our commercial partners and passionate fans provided last season during our Championship campaign, and I look forward to another year of creating special moments together. The collaboration that Mercedes HPP provides the team is also incredibly valuable, and with continued hard work as a collective, we can head to track fully ready for the season ahead.”

Lando Norris, reflecting on the journey ahead, stated:

“It’s great to see the new 2025 livery, which is an evolution of last year’s Championship winning colours, and I’m sure the fans will love the tradition incorporated in the design. I look forward to getting on track with it in Bahrain for testing.

Having spent my whole Formula 1 career with McLaren, it felt great to be part of winning the Championship with the team, and everyone’s hunger for success remains strong. I’m now hoping to take the momentum gained across the last two seasons to compete for both Championships this year.”

Oscar Piastri, eager for the battles ahead, added:

“Last year was a really positive second season for me and the team, so it’s great to see the new livery heavily influenced by our 2024 Championship winning design. I’m looking forward to the year ahead and it’s going to be a special moment in Melbourne as I race the MCL39 for the first time this season at my home circuit.

I’ve worked hard in the off-season and approach the new season with a lot of optimism and confidence that it can be another special year for all involved with McLaren.”

The MCL39 is not just a visual evolution but a technical powerhouse. Under the guidance of engineering director Neil Houldey, McLaren has embraced a “brave risk” philosophy, pushing the boundaries of design to maintain their championship momentum. This aggressive approach aims to outpace fierce rivals like Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes, ensuring McLaren remains at the pinnacle of Formula 1.

As the 2025 season looms, McLaren’s MCL39 stands as a testament to the team’s relentless drive, innovative spirit, and unyielding determination to dominate the grid once more.
