McLaren Racing is one of the most legendary teams in Formula 1 history. Founded in 1963 by New Zealand driver Bruce McLaren, the team made its World Championship debut in 1966, laying the foundation for one of the longest and most successful careers in motorsport. Based in Woking, England, McLaren has embodied a perfect fusion of technical innovation, British style, and competitive spirit over the years.
McLaren is the second most successful team in Formula 1 after Ferrari and boasts an impressive list of victories:
12 Drivers' World Championship titles, including big names such as Emerson Fittipaldi, James Hunt, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Mika Häkkinen, and Lewis Hamilton.
Nine Constructors' titles, the last of which was won in 2024, ending a drought that had lasted since 1998.
Over 190 Grand Prix victories, with more than 500 podium finishes and 160 pole positions.
In the 1980s and 1990s, McLaren dominated the scene thanks to legends like Prost and Senna, whose internal rivalry within the team became part of Formula 1 mythology.
In recent years, McLaren has undergone a profound restructuring to return to competitiveness at the highest level. The team is now led by CEO Zak Brown, a strategic figure in the brand's rebuilding, and Team Principal Andrea Stella, a former Ferrari track engineer. Since 2021, McLaren has been powered by Mercedes-Benz engines, a partnership that has played a crucial role in the team's return to competitiveness.
