The next color of happiness is metallic papaya. It doesn’t look good on everything and everyone, but on the new livery of the McLaren 40 it does. The MCL40 is the car that celebrates the team’s (first) 1000 Formula 1 GPs. A goal that is an entire lifetime: from Monaco 1966 to Monaco 2026. As we know, motor racing also makes immense rounds and then returns. Like love. But this is also an opportunity to get those in marketing to talk. No pride, for once. Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing, said: “It presents the perfect opportunity to celebrate our rich history in motorsport. We are only the second team to reach this incredible milestone, so what better time to reflect on our past, present and future.”
