Formula One's reigning champion team, McLaren have revealed the MCL39’s livery, showing off their new colour scheme at The O2 as part of F1's inaugural launch event in London.

Following the track debut of the MCL39 at Silverstone Circuit on 13 February with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri behind the wheel, the team have revealed an evolution of the livery that will adorn their 2025 F1 car.

The 2025 design continues to use McLaren’s iconic papaya colour palette, incorporated with anthracite and a "hint of teal in honour of the team’s rich historical tradition of carrying over livery design templates when winning a Championship."

Elements taken from the geometric camouflage livery that debuted earlier in February will feature on the driver race suits, with a diagonal cut-through integrating anthracite into the papaya design.

Reflecting on the new livery, McLaren's CEO Zak Brown stated: “We’re delighted to have unveiled our awesome 2025 livery for the MCL39, which our exciting driver line-up of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will take to the track. This marks a special moment in the year as we begin the defence of the FIA Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship title.

“In line with McLaren’s longstanding tradition, our 2025 design is a strong evolution of the title-winning livery. We’re now looking forward to getting the season underway and are extremely grateful for the continued support of our valuable partners and fantastic fans. Let’s go racing!”

Speaking of the new car and the modified livery, team boss Andrea Stella noted “The unveiling of the new MCL39 livery is another key milestone in our journey to go racing this season and follows on from the incredible hard work and commitment of the team towards our 2025 challenger.

“While we expect to see increased competitiveness up and down the grid as we enter the final year of the current regulations, we have worked hard to hit the ground running and operate at a high standard in everything we do. The aim is to keep competing for podiums and race wins in the 2025 FIA Formula 1 Championship.

“I am thankful for the incredible work done by the team and, in particular, for the support our commercial partners and passionate fans provided last season during our Championship campaign, and I look forward to another year of creating special moments together. The collaboration that Mercedes HPP provides the team is also incredibly valuable, and with continued hard work as a collective, we can head to track fully ready for the season ahead.”
