GALLERY: McLaren become latest F1 team to reveal special Singapore livery with nod to past

McLaren will join Mercedes and RB in running a one-off livery at this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, having presented a Legend Reborn design with partner OKX.

Co-designed by McLaren and OKX, the livery celebrates the MP4 era of McLaren from 1981 to 1996, blending the classic stripe design with McLaren’s papaya colour scheme “as a way of honouring the heritage of the team”.

It will be officially unveiled at an on-track event in Singapore, prior to the race weekend getting under way, with McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown and McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in attendance.

The livery also honours legendary McLaren racers such as Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost and Niki Lauda, with the names of 13 iconic drivers from the era integrated into the livery on the cockpit.

McLaren’s Legend Reborn livery adds to the Senna tribute design – ‘McLaren SENNA presented by OKX’ – seen at this year’s Monaco Grand Prix.

Louise McEwen, Chief Marketing Officer, McLaren Racing, said: “It is fantastic to bring back our third bespoke livery in Singapore with OKX. Legend Reborn is a great way to celebrate and honour our iconic history, in a way that unites fans old and new.

“Following on from this year’s Senna campaign, this livery further embodies our partnership with OKX as we continue to deliver unique story telling campaigns for McLaren fans and OKX customers globally.”

The new livery drops a week after McLaren took the lead of the F1 constructors’ championship for the first time in a decade, with the Woking-based team jumping ahead of Red Bull after Piastri’s win on the streets of Azerbaijan.
