FIRST LOOK at McLaren on track for first time

The McLaren MCL60 has hit the track for the first time.

The Woking-based team unveiled its new car at a launch event at the McLaren Technology Centre last Monday [February 13], with the name referencing the 60th-anniversary celebrations to be held across the year.

Lando Norris has been joined by rookie Oscar Piastri after Daniel Ricciardo saw his contract terminated following a difficult two-year stint at the team.

With Bahrain pre-season testing beginning on Thursday [February 23], McLaren took the chance to shakedown its 2023 challenger for the first time at the same venue.

Time to unleash the power. 💪
