McLaren has revealed the car of 2025

      McLaren has become the first Formula 1 team to show the car for the 2025 season. The team has published a photo of the MCL39 in camouflage black and orange coloring, taken during the run-in of the novelty at Silverstone. The team will unveil the official paint scheme for the new season at the F1 75 Live ceremony in London on February 18. Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing: "Today is an important milestone on our journey towards title contention in the 2025 season. It's great to put the new MCL39 on track for the first time, with which we will fight for the championship title - it's the culmination of the team's hard work. We need to remain realistic, realizing that our rivals have also made progress this winter. Last year's results were very tight, which is a very good thing for the sport. We believe we have taken another step forward since MCL38 won the Constructors' Cup, but will not be able to judge the balance of power until after qualifying in Australia. We in McLaren never stop fighting, we will do everything possible to bring both championship cups back to Woking." Andrea Stella, team principal: "We are happy to see MCL39 today for the first time on the track at Silverstone. Last year we were crowned champions, but the season has shown how intense the competition is and it will remain so this year. We have to focus on fighting on the front row - it's going to be an exciting but incredibly difficult year. The team has worked hard to prepare for the start of the season. We have taken the lessons learned from last year's struggles and will use that knowledge to get closer to our goal this season. I am grateful to the whole team for the work they have done to prepare the car for today, as well as to our colleagues from Mercedes HPP for their cooperation. Now we will focus on the work to make the most of the time on the tests and prepare for the first session in Australia". Lando Norris: "It is interesting to get behind the wheel of the MCL39 for the first time, to assess the behavior of the new car on the track even before the start of pre-season tests in Bahrain. The camouflage livery looks interesting, it's great that we can show this variant before the official presentation of the coloring. Thanks to the whole team for the work that allowed us to achieve this goal. This year's fight will be more intense than ever, so we have a lot to do to keep the Constructors' Cup and fight for the individual title. I'm back at the team's base to prepare for the upcoming season, where we are all positive and focused on the job at hand. We are all looking forward to testing in Bahrain, where we can work with the car before the season starts in Australia. Let's see how fast we are compared to our rivals. The season promises to be interesting!" Oscar Piastri: "It's great to get behind the wheel of the MCL39 for the first time before the tests in Bahrain. The camouflage looks great and I'm looking forward to the official unveiling next week. I've been preparing for the season in earnest during the off-season. The battle for the lead promises to be incredibly tight, but I'm excited to take the next step after two seasons in the sport. Grand Prix wins early in my career have given me a taste for success, now I want more and after a brilliant performance in 2024 we will try to build on that in the coming season. Many thanks to everyone at the base and on the track for their hard work".
