McLaren is reaching a significant milestone in Formula 1 history. The British team will participate in its 1000th major prize race at this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix. Interestingly, this celebration is taking place in the exact same location where the team's F1 journey began.
Legendary beginning
McLaren's first Formula 1 race was held in Monaco in 1966, driven by its founder Bruce McLaren. More than half a century later, the team is preparing to celebrate this unforgettable legacy at the same track. This nostalgic coincidence has also become a symbol of the team's long and successful journey.
Custom design and celebration
For this historic moment, McLaren has created a special livery. Designed in metallic papaya orange, the new design offers a modern interpretation of the team's iconic color. The team will use this special design not only in Monaco but also at the upcoming Barcelona Grand Prix, creating a two-week celebration period.
