McLaren have announced a new signing for 2025 with the Formula 1 team confirming a multi-year deal in a recent announcement.

McLaren’s success was not only due to their improved pace in 2024, but also the consistency of their driver lineup, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri executing six race victories between them last season.

However, McLaren will be looking to go one better in 2025, as they attempt to fight for the drivers’ title after Norris missed out on his first championship against Max Verstappen last year.
