McLaren reveal one-off Abu Dhabi GP livery

Ewan Gale Tuesday 7 December 2021 17:14

McLaren has revealed a one-off livery as part of the Drive for Change campaign at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The livery, in partnership with partner BAT's brand Vuse, will be the second change by McLaren after the team switched to a Gulf-inspired look at the Monaco Grand Prix earlier this year.

Driven by Change is an initiative that provides emerging creative talent a platform to showcase their work through motorsport.

The livery has been designed by UAE-based artist Rabab Tantawy and marks the first time a female artist from the Middle East has designed a bespoke F1 livery.

McLaren's chief marketing officer, Claire Cronin said: “We are excited to bring the art and motorsport worlds together in a ground-breaking way, by sporting Rabab Tantawy’s artwork on our race cars at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

"Together with Vuse, Driven by Change is a unique opportunity to use our global stage to support rising talent, giving undiscovered creatives the platform they deserve.

“Rabab’s art is inspiring, and we are proud to take her papaya-influenced creation racing this weekend.”

The last dance for the MCL35M. 🙌
