McLaren is the first team to reveal the livery for the 2024 F1 World Championship. It serves as an appetiser for the McLaren MCL38 presentation on February 14th. The livery is an evolution of the team’s colour scheme from last season. The classic Papaya orange is coupled with anthracite black and a few touches of chrome on the car to be driven by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
The words of Zak Brown, Andrea Stella, Lando Norris & Oscar Piastri
Team owner Zak Brown said he was proud of the team with which he will face 2024 after the excellent signs that emerged last year:
“We didn’t start 2023 as we would have liked, but Andrea and the team did an excellent job after the organizational restructuring took effect, and the hard work continues as we carry this excellent momentum into the 2024 season.
“I am confident that with the Lando-Oscar pairing, we will continue to create more great memories after a truly impressive second half of last year.”
Team Principal Andrea Stella clarified how the objective is to improve further and raise the bar:
“After a demanding and productive break, we are heading towards 2024 with the aim of continuing our journey towards the head of the grill. Last season laid a solid foundation for the future through hard work, commitment, effort and talent.
“Thanks to upgrades in terms of facilities and staff, we continue to raise our standards to perform better on all fronts. We still have a lot of work to do before hitting the track for the first race in Bahrain, but we are focused on achieving our goals and starting the season on the right foot.”
Lando Norris: “I can’t wait for the new season to start. It will be my sixth in Formula 1, and I hope to carry on the momentum we gained at the end of the last one.
“The new livery is fantastic. I’m sure the fans will love it as much as I do. Everyone at the factory has worked hard during the break, and I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of the 2024 car to challenge our rivals.”
Oscar Piastri also revealed his excitement: “The 2024 livery is truly fantastic and I can’t wait to race with the iconic McLaren colors for the second year.
“I have special memories of my first year as a rookie, in which I achieved two podiums and a victory in the sprint race. I will work hard together with the whole team to achieve these results at the start of the new season to give the fans memorable moments.”
