McLaren⁠⁠

McLaren is one of the oldest and most successful teams in Formula 1. It was founded in 1963 by a New Zealand driver named Bruce McLaren. The team is from the United Kingdom, and its factory is in Woking, England.

McLaren has won 8 Constructors’ Championships and 12 Drivers’ Championships in its history. In the 1980s and 1990s, they were one of the strongest teams. Legendary drivers like Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost raced for them and won many races.

For some years, McLaren was not very fast. But recently, they are getting better again. Their cars now have a bright orange colour — it’s called “papaya,” and it’s very easy to see on the track! Today, their drivers are Lando Norris (from the UK) and Oscar Piastri (from Australia). Both are young and very talented.

McLaren also builds supercars and works in technology and engineering outside of racing.
