Following Oscar Piastri's spectacular second career victory at Baku, McLaren managed to knock the reigning champions off the top spot, as Christian Horner's outfit struggle to get a grip on their continued dip in performance.

With Max Verstappen failing to bring home a victory since the Spanish GP, Piastri's team-mate Lando Norris will be looking to maximise on Red Bull's weaknesses and close the gap to the three-time champion in the drivers' standings.

With just 59 points between them, Norris will be aiming to improve on his P2 finish in Singapore last year.

A post on the official McLaren F1 X account read: "A nod to history, a step into the future.

"It’s time to bring the MP4 era to the MCL38 with the OKX Legend Reborn livery.

"Can’t wait to see this in action on track!"

The livery is just one of many designs debuting for various teams on the grid at Marina Bay, and pays homage to McLaren's most successful machinery - the MP4/4 that dominated the 1988 championship driven by Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna.
