McClaren unveiled their MCL39 Formula 1 car at a Silverstone season launch event, setting the stage for the 2025 season. As the first team to reveal a 2025 design, McLaren showcased the MCL39 in a unique camouflage color scheme due to temporary restrictions on the livery. All 10 Formula 1 teams are committed to fully revealing their 2025 liveries at the F1 75 Live event in London next week.
The MCL39 retains key elements from previous McLaren designs and features a pull-rod front suspension layout. Differences from its predecessor, the MCL38, are evident in the bodywork around the engine cover, particularly with a more pronounced air intake. McLaren Racing CEO, Zak Brown, described the unveiling as a significant milestone in their quest for the 2025 title and acknowledged the competition within the sport.
Team principal Andrea Stella emphasized the competitiveness of the grid and the challenges that lie ahead in the upcoming season. Despite winning the constructors’ championship in 2024, McLaren is aiming to secure its first drivers’ crown since 2008. Drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri expressed excitement about the new car and the opportunity to compete in the upcoming season.
McLaren remains focused on maintaining their position at the front of the competitive field. With the first race of the 2025 season in Australia approaching, the team is eager to put the MCL39 through its paces. The drivers are scheduled to participate in a filming day at Silverstone, followed by media engagements to promote the new car and the team’s ambitions for the season.
In the pursuit of their championship goals, McLaren is prepared to face a challenging and exciting year in Formula 1. The team’s dedication and hard work are evident as they strive to build on their success from the previous season. As McLaren gears up for the competition ahead, fans eagerly anticipate the full reveal of their 2025 livery at the official F1 75 launch event.
