A modified livery for McLaren
McLaren presented a modified livery ahead of the Bahrain tests. Some black touches have been added.
The McLaren team has updated its livery before the start of testing in Bahrain. The MCL36, which hit the track this morning driven by Lando Norris, appeared with slightly modified colors. The Woking team carried out a promotional shoot of their car before the start of the final pre-season tests.
The new livery of the MCL36 features additional black accents on the chimney and rear wing. These upgrades were made after the team observed the appearance of their car during the first tests in Barcelona. The predominance of blue and orange is now more pronounced with the addition of black. A new inscription also emerges: McLaren Artura, the brand’s supercar. This livery is expected to be present at the start of the first Grand Prix of the season on the Sakhir circuit.
Lando Norris tested it out for the first time this morning, as he achieved the eighth fastest time (out of nine drivers on the track) with a time of 1:37.580, over three seconds behind Charles Leclerc. The British driver faced some technical issues and was only able to complete 21 laps, while his teammate Daniel Ricciardo, who is unwell, will not be driving today.
McLaren is not the only team to have unveiled a modified livery, as Haas has also revealed its restyled livery for 2022.
