McLaren MCL35M makes on track debut at Silverstone

McLaren MCL35M Launch

Lando Norris has taken to the track in the new McLaren MCL35M that was launched on Monday evening.

The MCL35M is McLaren's first car since renewing its partnership with power unit supplier Mercedes after six-years apart and Norris was the first to sample new machinery.

The British driver is entering his third year with the team and is joined this year by Daniel Ricciardo, the Australian moving from Renault on a three-year deal.

Ricciardo will sample the MCL35M for the first time later today as McLaren begins to step up its preparations for pre-season testing and the first race of the season, both of which will take place in Bahrain.

Ahead of the launch of the MCL35M, McLaren technical director James Key confirmed the team has experienced no difficulties with its new Mercedes power unit, despite the supplier expressing concerns over its latest offering.

With Renault power last year, McLaren finished third in the constructors' championship standings, winning out in a season-long three-way duel with Racing Point and Renault - teams that this year will be known as Aston Martin and Alpine.
