The changes bring McLaren closer to an F1 title challenge

Whenever you visit the McLaren Technology Center in Woking, it is impossible not to be deeply impressed by the team’s rich and successful history. The main boulevard on the ground floor is lined with cars that have amassed victories and championships in Formula 1, IndyCar, Can-Am and Le Mans. Walk a little further towards the canteen and the walls are lined with trophy cabinets ensuring that every McLaren employee can see the success the team and company was built on.

But the trophy cabinets did not have to be opened for newcomers for long. McLaren went through an incredibly lean period, not claiming a single F1 podium between the 2014 Australian Grand Prix and Carlos Sainz Jr’s third place finish at Interlagos in 2019 and drivers, but finally had some silverware to show for it.
