McLaren has unveiled the MCL39, the challenger it will use for the 2025 F1 season as it aims to defend the constructors' championship. The car hit the track for the first time at Silverstone, sporting an eye-catching camo livery. The one-off livery incorporates the papaya and black colours that McLaren has used in recent years, with the season livery set to be unveiled at the F1 75 event next week. McLaren bested Ferrari to the top of the standings last year while Lando Norris fell short of beating Max Verstappen to the drivers' title. Norris returns to the team this year, in what is his seventh season with McLaren. The Briton will once again be joined by Oscar Piastri who enters his third F1 season with the team. McLaren sit as one of just two teams on the grid that has not altered its driver line-up from the previous campaign. Both Norris and Piastri shared driving duties at the MCL39 shakedown from Silverstone. The car succeeds the MCL38 challenger which won six grands prix and secured 21 podiums last year, marking a highly successful campaign for McLaren. With regulations remaining stable over the winter break, McLaren is expected to once again be a key player at the front of the field once the new campaign gets underway.
