Norris aims to compete for both championship titles in 2025


Ahead of the upcoming season, Lando Norris insisted that he is eager to compete for both championship titles in 2025, building on the momentum that reigning champion team has gained over the course of the last two seasons.
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.
Commenting on the new livery, Lando Norris stated: “It’s great to see the new 2025 livery, which is an evolution of last year’s Championship winning colours, and I’m sure the fans will love the tradition incorporated in the design. I look forward to getting on track with it in Bahrain for testing.
“Having spent my whole Formula 1 career with McLaren, it felt great to be part of winning the Championship with the team, and everyone’s hunger for success remains strong. I’m now hoping to take the momentum gained across the last two seasons to compete for both Championships this year.”
Reflecting on the MCL39's new colour scheme, Oscar Piastri noted: “Last year was a really positive second season for me and the team, so it’s great to see the new livery heavily influenced by our 2024 Championship winning design. I’m looking forward to the year ahead and it’s going to be a special moment in Melbourne as I race the MCL39 for the first time this season at my home circuit.
“I’ve worked hard in the off-season and approach the new season with a lot of optimism and confidence that it can be another special year for all involved with McLaren.”
Backstage with the boys 😆
