McLaren launch: First look at the MCL36

Sam Hall Friday 11 February 2022 19:30

McLaren has lifted the covers off the MCL36 ahead of the 2022 F1 season.

McLaren is the fourth team to launch its machinery for the coming season following Haas, Red Bull and Aston Martin.

For a second year, the team will field a driver pairing of Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo with the former having recently signed a bumper new contract that will keep him with the team until 2025.

McLaren finished fourth in the constructors' championship last year, dropping behind a resurgent Ferrari as the team elected to focus on the coming season rather than improve the MCL35M in the latter stages of the campaign.
