McLaren reveals ‘future mode’ outfit for F1 races in Singapore and Japan
McLaren will race with a revised paint job featuring some striking neon pink flashes for the upcoming Formula One races in Singapore and Japan.
The new look car also features Cyberpunk-inspired illustrations of the engine on the side of the vehicle, giving it a see-through feel at certain points.
McLaren has kept its usual papaya orange color on the sidepods, the front nose wings and the car’s halo.
These changes will also be reflected in the racing suits of drivers Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo in both races.
McLaren’s statement said: “The effervescent design represents the emergence of new technologies in the region, with a vision of the future inspired by the cityscapes of Singapore and Japan, where the Formula 1 returns for the first time since 2019.”
The livery will be especially effective at the Singapore Grand Prix, held under the street lights surrounding the city’s Marina Bay.
Livery is a nod to the team’s “future mode” partnership with crypto exchange OKX.
McLaren has made a habit of one-off launches inspired by its team partners.
Last year, it raced at the Monaco Grand Prix in a blue and orange colorway to give Gulf a nod.
