The start of the 2024 season is approaching quickly, and McLaren has been very active on its social media platforms in recent days: following the surprise unveiling of its 2024 livery after numerous teasers, as well as the contract extension of Lando Norris, the British team shared a short video on Tuesday where we can hear the hybrid Mercedes V6 engine for the first time.
