'''McLaren Racing Limited''' ({{IPAc-en|m|ə|ˈ|k|l|ær|ə|n}} {{respell|mə|KLARR|ən}}), currently competing in [[Formula One]] as '''McLaren Mastercard F1 Team''', is a British [[auto racing|motor racing]] team based at the [[McLaren Technology Centre]] in [[Woking]], Surrey, England. The team is a subsidiary of the [[McLaren Group]], wholly owned by [[Mumtalakat Holding Company]].

McLaren is best known as a Formula One chassis [[List of Formula One constructors|constructor]], the second-oldest active team and the second-most successful Formula One team after [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]], having won {{F1cstat|MCL|wins}} races, 13 [[Formula One Drivers' Championship|Drivers' Championships]], and 10 [[Formula One constructors' championship|Constructors' Championships]]. McLaren is one of only three constructors, and the only team, to complete the [[Triple Crown of Motorsport#Teams and manufacturers|Triple Crown of Motorsport]] (wins at the [[Indianapolis 500]], [[24 Hours of Le Mans]], and [[Monaco Grand Prix]]). The [[2026 Chinese Grand Prix]] marked McLaren's 1000th Grand Prix entry, making them the second constructor after Ferrari to reach this milestone. The team currently uses [[Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains|Mercedes]] power; its partnership with [[Honda in Formula One|Honda]] from {{f1|1988}} to {{f1|1991}} produced four consecutive Constructors' Championships; the team won 15 of 16 races in 1988.

Founded by [[Bruce McLaren]] in 1963, the team won its first Grand Prix at the [[1968 Belgian Grand Prix]], and took its first Formula One championships in {{f1|1974}}. [[Emerson Fittipaldi]], [[James Hunt]], [[Niki Lauda]], [[Alain Prost]], [[Ayrton Senna]], [[Mika Häkkinen]], [[Lewis Hamilton]], and [[Lando Norris]] have won Drivers' Championships with McLaren. [[Juan Pablo Montoya]], [[Carlos Sainz Jr.]], [[Daniel Ricciardo]], and Champions [[Denny Hulme]], [[Jody Scheckter]], [[Keke Rosberg]], [[Fernando Alonso]], [[Kimi Räikkönen]], and [[Jenson Button]] also drove for the team at one point during their careers. The team's most recent titles were secured in {{f1|2025}}.

McLaren also has a history in [[sports car racing|sports car]] and [[Endurance racing (motorsport)|endurance]] racing, with a [[McLaren F1 GTR|modified]] [[McLaren F1]] [[McLaren Automotive|road car]] winning the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]] in [[1995 24 Hours of Le Mans|1995]]. The team is set to reenter the [[FIA World Endurance Championship]] in 2027 with a [[LMDh|hypercar]] entry. The team has also had experience in [[American open wheel racing]] as both an entrant and a chassis constructor, and has won the [[Can-Am|Canadian-American Challenge Cup]] (Can-Am) [[sports car racing]] championship. Their current [[IndyCar Series|IndyCar]] entry, '''[[Arrow McLaren]]''', has won 17 races since its establishment in [[2020 IndyCar Series|2020]]. McLaren has previously entered the [[electric motorsport]]s [[Formula E]] and [[Extreme E]], though they achieved less success there than their other ventures and ended up pulling out of both. McLaren also participates in [[Formula One Esports Series|Formula One]] [[esports]], in which they won the [[2022 Formula One Esports Series|2022]] championship.

== Background ==
[[File:McLarenBruce.jpg|thumb|upright|alt=Black-and-white photograph of Bruce McLaren|The McLaren Racing team's founder [[Bruce McLaren]]]]

Bruce McLaren Motor Racing was founded in 1963 by New Zealander [[Bruce McLaren]].<ref name="mclarenhistory">{{cite web |url=https://www.mclaren.com/mclarengroup/mclaren-in-formula1.php |title=McLAREN IN FORMULA 1 |publisher=mclaren.com |access-date=12 April 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080528224319/http://www.mclaren.com/mclarengroup/mclaren-in-formula1.php |archive-date=28 May 2008}}</ref> Bruce was a [[factory-backed|works]] driver for the British [[Formula One]] team [[Cooper Car Company|Cooper]] with whom he had won three [[Grand Prix motor racing|Grands Prix]] and come second in the {{F1|1960}} World Championship. Wanting to compete in the [[Australasia]]n [[Tasman Series]], Bruce approached his employers, but when team owner Charles Cooper insisted on using 1.5-litre Formula One-specification engines instead of the 2.5-litre motors permitted by the Tasman rules, Bruce decided to set up his own team to run him and his prospective Formula One teammate [[Timmy Mayer]] with custom-built Cooper cars.<ref>{{harvnb|Nye|1988|page=65}}</ref>

Bruce won the [[1964 Tasman Series|1964 series]], but Mayer was killed in practice for the final race at the [[Longford Circuit]] in [[Tasmania]]. When Bruce McLaren approached Teddy Mayer to help him with the purchase of the Zerex sports car from Roger Penske, Teddy Mayer and Bruce McLaren began discussing a business partnership resulting in Teddy Mayer buying in to Bruce McLaren Motor Racing Limited (BMMR) and ultimately becoming its largest shareholder.<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|p=15}}</ref><ref name="mayerobituary">{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2009/feb/06/obituary-teddy-mayer |title=Obituary: Teddy Mayer|first=Alan|last=Henry|author-link=Alan Henry |newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|date=6 February 2009|access-date=30 March 2010}}</ref>

The team, [[List of Formula One constructors#Team's nationality|competing under a British racing licence]],<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/covers/_Zeltweg-1970-08-16e.jpg| title=1970 Austrian Grand Prix Entry list |publisher= Racing Sport Cars |language=de}}</ref> was based in [[Feltham]], England from 1963 to 1964, and in [[Colnbrook]], England from 1965 until 1981, and it has been based in [[Woking]], England since 1981.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://corktree.tripod.com/Case_History.html |title=Case History |publisher=Corktree.tripod.com |access-date=3 September 2017}}</ref> Despite this, Bruce never used the traditional [[British racing green]] on his cars. Instead, he used colour schemes that were not based on [[List of international auto racing colors#Major competitors|national principles]] (e.g. his first [[Formula One car]], the [[McLaren M2B]] car, raced at the [[1966 Monaco Grand Prix]], was painted white with a green stripe, to represent a fictional Yamura team in [[John Frankenheimer]]'s film ''[[Grand Prix (1966 film)|Grand Prix]]'').<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mclaren.com/formula1/2018/car-launch/mclaren-and-papaya-2174925/|title=McLaren Formula 1 - McLaren & Papaya|access-date=4 October 2018|archive-date=26 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190326102759/https://www.mclaren.com/formula1/2018/car-launch/mclaren-and-papaya-2174925/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

During this period, Bruce drove for his team in [[sports car racing|sports car races]] in the United Kingdom and North America and also entered the [[1965 Tasman Series]] with [[Phil Hill]], but did not win it.<ref>{{harvnb|Nye|1988|pages=72–85}}</ref> He continued to drive in Grands Prix for Cooper, but judging that team's form to be waning, decided to race his own cars in 1966.<ref name="henry18">{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=18}}</ref>

== Racing history: Formula One ==
=== Overview ===
The team began life as a [[List of Formula One constructors|Formula One constructor]] in 1963 by [[Bruce McLaren]]. The team's maiden Grand Prix victory was at the [[1968 Belgian Grand Prix]]. After Bruce McLaren died in a testing accident in 1970, [[Teddy Mayer]] took over and led the team to their first Formula One Constructors' Championship in {{F1|1974}}, with [[Emerson Fittipaldi]] and [[James Hunt]] winning the Drivers' Championship in 1974 and {{F1|1976}} respectively. The year 1974 also marked the start of a long-standing sponsorship by the [[Marlboro (cigarette)|Marlboro]] cigarette brand.

In 1981, McLaren merged with [[Ron Dennis]]' [[Project Four Racing]]; Dennis took over as team principal, and shortly afterwards organised a buyout of the original McLaren shareholders to take full control of the team. This began the team's most successful era; with [[Porsche in motorsport|Porsche]] and [[Honda in Formula One|Honda]] engines, [[Niki Lauda]], [[Alain Prost]], and [[Ayrton Senna]] won seven Drivers' Championships between them and the team took six Constructors' Championships. The combination of Prost and Senna was particularly dominant – together they won all but one race in {{F1|1988}} – but later their rivalry soured and Prost left for Ferrari. Fellow English team [[Williams Grand Prix Engineering|Williams]] offered the most consistent challenge during this period, the two winning every constructors' title between {{F1|1984}} and {{F1|1994}}. By the mid-1990s, Honda had withdrawn from Formula One, Senna had moved to Williams, and the team went three seasons without a win. With [[Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains|Mercedes-Benz]] engines, [[West (cigarette)|West]] sponsorship, and former Williams designer [[Adrian Newey]], further championships came in {{F1|1998}} and {{F1|1999}} with driver [[Mika Häkkinen]], and during the 2000s the team were consistent front-runners, with [[Lewis Hamilton]] winning the {{F1|2008}} drivers' title.

Ron Dennis retired as McLaren team principal in 2009, handing over to long-time McLaren employee [[Martin Whitmarsh]]. At the end of 2013, after the team's worst season since 2004, Whitmarsh was ousted. McLaren announced in 2013 that they would be using [[Honda in Formula One|Honda]] engines from 2015 onwards, replacing Mercedes-Benz.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/21655985|title=McLaren poised to switch to Honda engines for 2015 season|date=4 March 2013|last=Benson|first=Andrew|publisher=BBC|access-date=7 January 2020}}</ref> The team raced as McLaren Honda for the first time since 1992 at the [[2015 Australian Grand Prix]]. The second Honda partnership did not yield good results, and in September 2017, McLaren announced they had agreed on an engine supply with [[Renault in Formula One|Renault]] from 2018 to 2020. McLaren returned to using Mercedes-Benz engines from the 2021 season, with a deal in place until at least 2030.<ref name=Mercedes2021>{{cite web|title=McLAREN F1 TO BE POWERED BY MERCEDES-BENZ FROM 2021|url=https://www.mclaren.com/racing/inside-the-mtc/mclaren-f1-powered-mercedes-benz-2021/|website=McLaren Racing|access-date=28 September 2019}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=24 November 2023 |title=McLaren agree extension to use Mercedes power until 2030 |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.mclaren-agree-extension-to-use-mercedes-power-until-2030.10wqQXRsRIS84r4mi0vhT5.html |access-date=24 November 2023 |website=[[Formula 1]] |language=en}}</ref> After a period of time in the midfield, McLaren surged to fourth in the Constructors' Championship in {{f1|2023}} after having started that year on the back foot. They would go on to win their ninth Constructors' Championship, and first since 1998, in [[2024 Formula One World Championship|2024]]. The [[2025 Formula One World Championship|following year]], [[Lando Norris]] took the team's most recent drivers' title, and first since 2008, and secured their tenth Constructors' Championship title and their second consecutive title; the first time this had happened since {{f1|1991}}. This result made McLaren the second-most successful Formula One team of all time in terms of Constructors' Championships won.

=== 1968–1982: Ford-Cosworth DFV engines ===
For {{F1|1968}}, after driving McLaren's sole entry for the previous two years, Bruce was joined by 1967 champion and fellow New Zealander [[Denny Hulme]], who was already racing for McLaren in [[Can-Am]].<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=22}}</ref><ref name="clockworkorange"/> That year's new [[McLaren M7A|M7A]] car, Herd's final design for the team, was powered by [[Cosworth]]'s new and soon to be ubiquitous [[Cosworth DFV|DFV]] engine<ref>{{harvnb|Nye|1988|page=54}}</ref><ref name="tremaynehughes223-228"/> (the DFV would go on to be used by McLaren until 1983) and with it a major upturn in form proceeded. Bruce won the [[Race of Champions (Brands Hatch)|Race of Champions]] at the [[Brands Hatch]] circuit and Hulme won the [[1968 BRDC International Trophy|International Trophy]] at [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]], both non-championship races,<ref>{{cite journal |title=M7A: McLaren's lucky number |journal=[[Motor Sport (magazine)|Motor Sport]] |date=August 2008|volume=84 |issue=8 |publisher=Stratfield}}</ref> before Bruce took the team's first championship win at the [[1968 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian Grand Prix]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.formula1.com/content/fom-website/en/championship/teams/McLaren.html |title=McLaren Team Profile |work=Formula1.com |publisher=[[Formula One]] |access-date=24 March 2010 |archive-date=15 March 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150315091232/http://www.formula1.com/content/fom-website/en/championship/teams/McLaren.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Hulme also won the [[1968 Italian Grand Prix|Italian]] and [[1968 Canadian Grand Prix|Canadian]] Grands Prix later in the year, helping the team to second in the Constructors' Championship. Using an updated 'C' version on the M7,<ref name="henry24"/> a further three podium finishes followed for Bruce in {{F1|1969}}, but the team's fifth win had to wait until the last race of the 1969 championship when Hulme won the [[1969 Mexican Grand Prix|Mexican Grand Prix]]. That year, McLaren experimented with [[four-wheel drive]] in the [[McLaren M9A|M9A]], but the car had only a single outing driven by [[Derek Bell (auto racer)|Derek Bell]] at the [[1969 British Grand Prix|British Grand Prix]]; Bruce described driving it as like "trying to write your signature with somebody jogging your elbow".<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=23–24}}</ref>

The year {{F1|1970}} started with a second-place each for Hulme and Bruce in the first two Grands Prix, but in June, Bruce was killed in a crash at [[Goodwood Circuit|Goodwood]] while testing the new M8D Can-Am car.<ref name="henry24">{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=24}}</ref> After his death, [[Teddy Mayer]] took over effective control of the team;<ref name="mayerobituary"/> Hulme continued with [[Dan Gurney]] and [[Peter Gethin]] partnering him. Gurney won the first two Can-Am events at Mosport and St. Jovite and placed ninth in the third, but left the team mid-season, and Gethin took over from there. While {{F1|1971}} began promisingly when Hulme led the opening round in [[1970 South African Grand Prix|South Africa]] before retiring with broken suspension,<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=25}}</ref> ultimately Hulme, Gethin (who left for BRM mid-season,<ref name="henry26">{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=26}}</ref>) and [[Jackie Oliver]] again failed to score a win. The 1972 season saw improvements though: Hulme won the team's first Grand Prix for {{frac|2|1|2}} years in [[1972 South African Grand Prix|South Africa]] and he and [[Peter Revson]] scored ten other podiums, the team finishing third in the Constructors' Championship. McLaren gave [[Jody Scheckter]] his Formula One debut at the [[1972 United States Grand Prix|final race]] at [[Watkins Glen International|Watkins Glen]].<ref name="henry26"/> All McLaren drivers used the Ford-Cosworth engines, except for [[Andrea de Adamich]] and [[Nanni Galli]] who used engines from [[Alfa Romeo in Formula One|Alfa Romeo]] in 1970.

It was a close fight for Fittipaldi, who secured the title with a fourth at the season-ending [[1974 United States Grand Prix|United States Grand Prix]], putting him three points ahead of Ferrari's [[Clay Regazzoni]]. With Hulme and multiple motorcycle world champion [[Mike Hailwood]], he also sealed McLaren's first Constructors' Championship. The year {{F1|1975}} was less successful for the team: Fittipaldi was second in the championship behind [[Niki Lauda]]. Hulme's replacement [[Jochen Mass]] took his sole GP win in [[1974 Spanish Grand Prix|Spain]].

At the end of 1975, Fittipaldi left to join his brother's [[Fittipaldi Automotive|Fittipaldi/Copersucar]] team.<ref name="fittipaldi"/> With the top drivers already signed to other teams, Mayer turned to [[James Hunt]], a driver on whom biographer [[Gerald Donaldson]] reflected as having "a dubious reputation".<ref>{{cite book|title=James Hunt: The Biography|first=Gerald|last=Donaldson|year=1995|publisher=CollinsWillow|page=158 |isbn=0-00-218493-1}}</ref> In {{F1|1976}}, Lauda was again strong in his Ferrari; at midseason, he led the championship with 56 points while Hunt had only 26 despite wins in [[1976 Spanish Grand Prix|Spain]] (a race from which he was initially disqualified<ref name="henry32">{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=32}}</ref>) and [[1976 French Grand Prix|France]].

In {{F1|1977}}, the M23 was gradually replaced with the [[McLaren M26|M26]], the M23's final works outing being [[Gilles Villeneuve]]'s Formula One debut with the team in a one-off appearance at the [[1977 British Grand Prix|British Grand Prix]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=Villeneuve: The Life of the Legendary Racing Driver|first=Gerald|last=Donaldson|page=80|edition=1st paperback|year=2003|publisher=[[Virgin Books]]|isbn=0-7535-0747-1}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=34}}</ref> Hunt won on three occasions that year, but the Lauda and Ferrari combination proved too strong, Hunt and McLaren managing just fifth and third in the respective championships.

=== 1983–1992: TAG-Porsche and Honda engines ===
[[File:ProstAlain McLarenMP4-2B 1985.jpg|thumb|right|alt=Prost driving a red-and-white McLaren|[[Alain Prost]], pictured at the [[1985 German Grand Prix]], won three Drivers' Championships with McLaren.]]

In the early 1980s, teams like [[Renault F1|Renault]], Ferrari and [[Brabham]] were using 1.5-litre [[Turbocharger|turbocharged]] engines in favour of the 3.0-litre [[naturally aspirated engine]]s that had been standard since 1966.<ref name="tremaynehughes223-228">{{harvnb|Tremayne|Hughes|1998|pages=223–228}}</ref> Having seen in 1982 the need for a turbo engine of their own, Dennis had convinced [[Williams Grand Prix Engineering|Williams]] backer [[Techniques d'Avant Garde]] (TAG) to fund [[Porsche in motorsport|Porsche]]-built, TAG-branded turbo engines made to Barnard's specifications; TAG's founder [[Mansour Ojjeh]] would later become a McLaren shareholder. In the meantime, they continued with Cosworth engines as old rival Lauda came out of retirement in 1982 to drive alongside Watson in that year's 1B development of the MP4.<ref name="motorsportdennis"/><ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|pages=42–44}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| first = John| last = Blundsden| title = Dennis confronts the difficulties of his own success|work=[[The Times]] |location=UK| date=  7 July 1988}}</ref> They each won two races, Watson won from 17th on the grid in [[1982 Detroit Grand Prix|Detroit]],<ref name="motorsportdennis"/> and at one stage of the season McLaren were second in the constructors' championship. As part of a dispute with [[Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile|FISA]], they boycotted the [[1982 San Marino Grand Prix|San Marino Grand Prix]].<ref>{{harvnb|Nye|1988|page=235}}</ref> Although {{F1|1983}} was not so fruitful, Watson did win again in the United States, this time from 22nd on the grid at [[1983 United States Grand Prix West|Long Beach]].<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=45}}</ref>

Having been fired by Renault, Prost returned to McLaren once again for {{F1|1984}}.<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=46}}</ref> Now using the TAG engines, the team dominated, scoring 12 wins and {{frac|2|1|2}} times as many constructors' points as nearest rival Ferrari. In the Drivers' Championship, Lauda prevailed over Prost by half a point, the narrowest margin ever.<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=53}}</ref> The McLaren-TAGs were again strong in {{F1|1985}}; a third Constructors' Championship came their way while this time Prost won the Drivers' Championship. In {{F1|1986}}, the [[Williams Grand Prix Engineering|Williams]] team were resurgent with their [[Honda in Formula One|Honda]] engine and drivers [[Nigel Mansell]] and [[Nelson Piquet]], while at McLaren, Lauda's replacement, 1982 champion [[Keke Rosberg]] could not gel with the car. Williams took the Constructors' Championship, but for Prost, wins in [[1986 San Marino Grand Prix|San Marino]], [[1986 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]], and [[1986 Austrian Grand Prix|Austria]] combined with the fact that the Williams drivers were taking points from each other meant that he retained a chance going into the last race, the [[1986 Australian Grand Prix|Australian Grand Prix]]. There, a puncture for Mansell and a precautionary pit stop for Piquet gave Prost the race win and his second title, making him the first driver to win back-to-back championships since [[Jack Brabham]] in {{F1|1959}} and 1960.<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|pages=57–63}}</ref> In {{F1|1987}} Barnard departed for Ferrari to be replaced by [[Gordon Murray]] as Technical Director, with [[Steve Nichols]] (who himself joined Ferrari in 1989) remaining as Chief Designer.<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=63}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=78}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Tremayne|Hughes|1998|pages=198–199}}</ref> In the hands of Prost and [[Stefan Johansson]], though, Nichols's [[McLaren MP4/3|MP4/3]] and the TAG engine could not match the Williams-Honda.

For {{F1|1988}}, Honda switched their factory supply to McLaren and, encouraged by Prost, Dennis signed [[Ayrton Senna]] to drive.<ref>{{cite journal |journal=[[Motor Sport (magazine)|Motor Sport]]|first=Nigel|last=Roebuck|author-link=Nigel Roebuck|title=The best of enemies|date=October 2008|volume=84|issue=10|publisher=Stratfield}}</ref> Despite regulations reducing the boost pressure and fuel capacity (and therefore, power) of the turbo cars, Honda persisted with a turbocharged engine.<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=65}}</ref> In the [[McLaren MP4/4|MP4/4]], Senna and Prost engaged in a season-long battle, winning 15 of the 16 races (at the other race at [[1988 Italian Grand Prix|Monza]], Senna had been leading comfortably, but collided with back-marker [[Jean-Louis Schlesser]]<ref>{{harvnb|Rubython|2006|page=170}}</ref>). At the [[1988 Portuguese Grand Prix|Portuguese Grand Prix]], their relationship soured when Senna squeezed Prost against the pit wall; Prost won, but afterwards said, "It was dangerous. If he wants the world championship that badly he can have it."<ref>{{harvnb|Rubython|2006|page=171}}</ref> Prost scored more points that year, but because only the best 11 results counted, Senna took the title at the penultimate race in [[1988 Japanese Grand Prix|Japan]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.formula1.com/results/season/1988/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141007215552/http://www.formula1.com/results/season/1988/|archive-date=7 October 2014|title=1988 FIA Formula One World Championship |work=Formula1.com |publisher=[[Formula One]]|access-date=2 April 2010}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|pages=70–71}}</ref>

The next year, with turbos banned, Honda supplied a new 3.5-L naturally aspirated [[V10 engine]]<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=71}}</ref> and McLaren again won both titles with the [[McLaren MP4/5|MP4/5]]. Their drivers' relationship continued to deteriorate, though, especially when, at the [[1989 San Marino Grand Prix|San Marino Grand Prix]], Prost felt that Senna had reneged on an agreement not to pass each other at the first corner.<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=73}}</ref> Believing that Honda and Dennis were favouring Senna, Prost announced mid-season that he would leave to drive at Ferrari the following year.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.prostfan.com/senna2.htm|title=Ayrton Senna by Alain Prost |publisher=prostfan.com |access-date=4 April 2010}}</ref> For the second year in succession, the Drivers' Championship was decided at the [[1989 Japanese Grand Prix|Japanese Grand Prix]], this time in Prost's favour after Senna and he collided (Senna initially recovered and won the race, but was later disqualified).<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|pages=76–77}}</ref>

With former McLaren men Nichols and Prost (Barnard had moved to the [[Benetton Formula|Benetton]] team), Ferrari pushed the British team more closely in {{F1|1990}}. McLaren, in turn, brought in Ferrari's [[Gerhard Berger]], but like the two seasons before, the Drivers' Championship was led by Prost and Senna and settled at [[1990 Japanese Grand Prix|the penultimate race in Japan]]. Here, Senna collided with Prost at the first corner, forcing both to retire, but this time Senna escaped punishment and took the title;<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=80}}</ref> McLaren also won the Constructors' Championship. The {{F1|1991}} year was another for McLaren and Senna, with the ascendant Renault-powered Williams team their closest challengers. By {{F1|1992}}, Williams, with their advanced [[Williams FW14B|FW14B]] car,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/cars_guide/4272031.stm|title=The changing face of F1|work=BBC Sport|date=28 February 2005|access-date=4 April 2010}}</ref> had overtaken McLaren, breaking their four-year run as champions, despite the latter winning five races that year.

McLaren tested a [[Lamborghini]] V12 engine ahead of the {{F1|1994}} season, as part of a potential deal with the then-Lamborghini owner [[Chrysler]], before eventually deciding to use full-works [[Peugeot]] engines. With Peugeot power, the [[McLaren MP4/9|MP4/9]] was driven by Häkkinen and [[Martin Brundle]], despite achieving eight podiums over the season no wins were achieved. Peugeot was dropped after a single year due to multiple engine failures/unreliability which cost McLaren potential race victories and they switched to a [[Mercedes-Benz]]-branded, [[Ilmor]]-designed engine.<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|pages=95–101}}</ref>
=== 1995–2014: First Mercedes partnership ===

For 1995 season onwards, McLaren ended their engine deal with [[Peugeot Sport]] and started an engine full-works partnership with [[Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains|Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines]] for the first time, after the German manufacturer spent one year in partnership with the then-youngest [[Sauber]] team.<ref>{{cite web|title=McLaren and Peugeot part ways|url=https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/mclaren-and-peugeot-part-ways/1654184/|work=motorsport.com|date=25 October 1994|access-date=28 June 2022|archive-date=24 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230224153201/https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/mclaren-and-peugeot-part-ways/1654184/|url-status=dead}}</ref> The partnership included bespoke free engines from Mercedes-Benz that built, assembled and tuned by [[Ilmor Engineering]] in [[Brixworth]], [[England]], Mercedes-Benz official team vehicles, financial support, also earned full-factory support from [[Daimler AG]] and [[Mercedes-Benz]] and also Mercedes-Benz and Ilmor staffs would work with the team at their Woking base.

McLaren's Formula One car for the {{F1|1995}} season, the [[McLaren MP4/10|MP4/10]], was not a front-runner and Brundle's replacement, former champion [[Nigel Mansell]], was unable to fit into the car at first and departed after just two races, with [[Mark Blundell]] taking his place.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/mansell-faces-retirement-after-mclaren-exit-1620932.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220512/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/mansell-faces-retirement-after-mclaren-exit-1620932.html |archive-date=12 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Mansell faces retirement after McLaren exit|first=Derick|last=Allsop|work=The Independent|location=UK|date=24 May 1995|access-date=24 March 2010}}</ref>

While Williams dominated in {{F1|1996}}, McLaren, now with [[David Coulthard]] alongside Häkkinen,<ref>{{harvnb|Henry|1999|page=104}}</ref> went a third successive season without a win. In {{F1|1997}}, however, Coulthard broke this run by winning the season-opening [[1997 Australian Grand Prix|Australian Grand Prix]]; Häkkinen and he would each win another race before the end of the season, and highly rated designer [[Adrian Newey]] joined the team from Williams in August that year.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/1361946.stm|title=Newey's magic touch |work=BBC Sport|date=2 June 2001|access-date=27 March 2010}}</ref> Despite the car's improved pace, unreliability proved costly throughout the season, with retirements at the [[1997 British Grand Prix|British]] and [[1997 Luxembourg Grand Prix|Luxembourg]] Grands Prix occurring whilst Häkkinen was in the lead. It was also at the start of this season that saw long time sponsor, Marlboro, shift its support to long time rival Ferrari. For the first time since the 1974 season, McLaren would have a new identity, shifting to fellow tobacco sponsor West. This saw the traditional red and white replaced with silver, grey, white and red. McLaren would retain this colour scheme (or very similar) for twenty years until 2017.

Häkkinen won his second Drivers' Championship the [[1999 Formula One World Championship|following season]], but due to a combination of driver errors and mechanical failures, the team lost the constructors' title to Ferrari.

In {{F1|2000}} McLaren won seven races in a close fight with Ferrari, but ultimately Ferrari and Schumacher prevailed in both competitions. This marked the start of a decline in form as Ferrari cemented their dominance in Formula One. In {{F1|2001}}, Häkkinen was outscored by Coulthard for the first time since 1997 and retired (ending Formula One's longest ever driver partnership), his place taken by [[Kimi Räikkönen]],<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/2152164.stm|title=Hakkinen announces retirement|work=BBC Sport|date=26 July 2002|access-date=7 April 2010}}</ref> then in {{F1|2002}}, Coulthard took their solitary win at [[2002 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]] while Ferrari repeated McLaren's 1988 feat of 15 wins in a season.

The year {{F1|2003}} started promisingly to coincide with Mercedes-Benz's 10th consecutive season in [[Formula One]] as an engine supplier only, with one win each for Coulthard and Räikkönen at the first two Grands Prix. However, they were hampered when the [[McLaren MP4-18|MP4-18]] car designed for that year suffered crash test and reliability problems, forcing them to continue using a 'D' development of the year-old [[McLaren MP4-17|MP4-17]] for longer than they had initially planned.<ref name="boldnewdawn">{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/3342535.stm|title=Bold new dawn for McLaren|first=Andrew|last=Benson|work=BBC Sport|date=23 December 2003|access-date=6 April 2010}}</ref> Despite this, Räikkönen scored points consistently and challenged for the championship up to the final race, eventually losing by two points. The team began {{F1|2004}} with the [[McLaren MP4-19|MP4-19]], which technical director Adrian Newey described as "a debugged version of [the MP4-18]".<ref name="boldnewdawn"/> It was not a success, though, and was replaced mid-season by the MP4-19B. With this, Räikkönen scored the team's and his only win of the year at the [[2004 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian Grand Prix]], as McLaren finished fifth in the Constructors' Championship, their worst ranking since 1983.

Coulthard left for [[Red Bull Racing]] in {{F1|2005}} to be replaced by former CART champion [[Juan Pablo Montoya]] for what was McLaren's most successful season in several years as he and Räikkönen won ten races. However, both the team not being able to work out why the car could not heat its tyres properly in the early stages of the season and the overall unreliability of the [[McLaren MP4-20|MP4-20]] cost several race victories when Räikkönen had been leading or in contention to win and also costing him grid positions in some qualifying sessions, which allowed Renault and their driver [[Fernando Alonso]] to capitalise and win both titles.

In {{F1|2006}}, the superior reliability and speed of the Ferraris and Renaults prevented the team from gaining any victories for the first time in a decade. Montoya parted company acrimoniously with the team to race in [[NASCAR]] after the [[2006 United States Grand Prix|United States Grand Prix]], where he crashed into Räikkönen at the start; test driver [[Pedro de la Rosa]] deputised for the remainder of the season.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/5168206.stm|title=McLaren agree to release Montoya|date=11 July 2006|work=BBC Sport|access-date=26 March 2010}}</ref> The team also lost Räikkönen to Ferrari at the end of the year.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/5332710.stm|title=Ferrari reveal Raikkonen signing|date=10 September 2006|work=BBC Sport|access-date=26 March 2010}}</ref>

In {{F1|2008}}, a close fight ensued between Hamilton and the Ferraris of [[Felipe Massa]] and Räikkönen; Hamilton won five times and despite also crossing the finish line first at the [[2008 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian Grand Prix]], he was deemed to have gained an illegal advantage by cutting a chicane during an overtake and was controversially demoted to third.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/formula_1/article4703540.ece|title=World media bemused by Lewis Hamilton decision|first=Ben|last=Smith|date=8 September 2008|work=[[The Times]]|location=UK|access-date=21 March 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081202091153/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/formula_1/article4703540.ece |archive-date=2 December 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref> Going into the [[2008 Brazilian Grand Prix|final race in Brazil]], Hamilton had a seven-point lead over Massa.

Button finished the Drivers' Championship in second place with 270 points behind 2011 Drivers' Champion [[Sebastian Vettel]] of Red Bull Racing, ahead of Hamilton's 227 points. McLaren was second in the Constructors' Championship to Red Bull Racing.

For {{F1|2015}}, McLaren ended their engine deal with Mercedes which included buying back the 40% stake that Mercedes held in the team and reforging their historical partnership with Honda. The Honda deal not only meant they would supply engines, but that Honda staff would work with the team at their Woking base as well as received full-factory support from Honda including official team vehicles and free engines. The team announced Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button as their race drivers, with Kevin Magnussen demoted to test driver. During pre-season testing at the [[Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya]] in February, Alonso suffered a concussion and, as a result, [[Kevin Magnussen]] replaced him for the season-opening {{F1 GP|2015|Australian}} in March.

McLaren retained both Alonso and Button for the {{F1|2016}} season. The second year of the Honda partnership was better than the first, with the team being able to challenge for top 10 positions on a more regular basis. However, the season started with a crash at the [[2016 Australian Grand Prix|Australian Grand Prix]] in which [[Fernando Alonso]] sustained rib fractures and a [[collapsed lung]] after colliding with [[Esteban Gutiérrez]] and somersaulting into the crash barriers. Alonso, as a result of his injuries, was forced to miss the second round of the Championship, the [[2016 Bahrain Grand Prix|Bahrain Grand Prix]], and was replaced by reserve driver [[Stoffel Vandoorne]]. Vandoorne scored the team's first point of the season with 10th place on his debut. The next points for McLaren came at the [[2016 Russian Grand Prix|Russian Grand Prix]] with Alonso and Button finishing sixth and 10th respectively. The rain-affected [[2016 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco Grand Prix]] was one of best races of the season for the team. Alonso finished fifth, having kept [[Nico Rosberg]]'s Mercedes behind him for 46 laps, while Button scored two points with ninth. At the [[2016 Austrian Grand Prix|Austrian Grand Prix]], Button recorded his best result of the season with a sixth-place after qualifying third in a wet/dry session. After the [[2016 British Grand Prix|British Grand Prix]] at Silverstone, the team scored points at the next three rounds with six points in Hungary, four in Germany, and six points again thanks to a seventh-place finish from Alonso at the [[2016 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian Grand Prix]]. At the [[2016 United States Grand Prix|United States Grand Prix]], McLaren matched their Monaco result with 12 points after Alonso claimed fifth position while Button once again finished ninth. Alonso and Button finished the championship in 10th and 15th places respectively with the team ending the season in sixth place in the Constructors' Championship with 76 points. On 3 September 2016, [[Jenson Button]] announced he would take a sabbatical from Formula One for the 2017 season. He then confirmed on 25 November that he would retire from F1 altogether with Vandoorne being Alonso's new Teammate for 2017.

The MCL39 showed an immediate advantage over the rest of the field; McLaren won fourteen out of twenty-four races in 2025 season, with Norris and Piastri both scoring seven wins each - including seven 1-2 finishes - and scored podiums in all possible races, bar three: the [[2025 Canadian Grand Prix|Canadian]], [[2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix|Azerbaijan]], and [[2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix|Las Vegas]] Grands Prix. Despite an uptick in pace from [[Red Bull Racing|Red Bull]], McLaren was able to secure their tenth championship at the [[2025 Singapore Grand Prix|Singapore Grand Prix]], becoming the most-successful Formula One [[Formula One teams|independent constructor]] of all time to date. Amidst the team's dominance in winning the Constructors' Championship, a battle for the Drivers' Championship between Norris and Piastri began: Norris led the early stages of the championship before Piastri took the lead after capitalising on Norris' mistake in qualifying for the [[2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix|Saudi Arabian Grand Prix]].

Norris and Red Bull's [[Max Verstappen]] took advantage of this, with the former in particular recovering from a gap as high as 34 points after the [[2025 Dutch Grand Prix|Dutch Grand Prix]] to eventually retake the lead of the Drivers' Championship by one point by winning the [[2025 Mexico City Grand Prix|Mexico City Grand Prix]].

Piastri and Norris finished the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in second and third, respectively.

== Racing history: Other series ==
Outside of the Formula One World Championship, McLaren's greatest initial success was in Can-Am, which they dominated from 1967 to 1971. Further American triumph followed, with Indianapolis 500 wins in McLaren cars for [[Mark Donohue]] in [[1972 Indianapolis 500|1972]] and [[Johnny Rutherford]] in [[1974 Indianapolis 500|1974]] and [[1976 Indianapolis 500|1976]].

=== Can-Am ===
[[File:McLaren M1A at Silverstone.jpg|thumb|alt=Orange McLaren M1A sports car|The McLaren M1A [[sports car racing|sports car]] of 1964 was the team's first self-designed car. The 'B' version raced in [[Can-Am]] in the [[1966 Can-Am season|1966 season]].|left]]

McLaren's first racing car designed and built "from the rubber up" by Bruce McLaren Motor Racing was the M1. Bruce McLaren won races with the small-block Oldsmobile-powered car. The car was raced in North America and Europe in 1964 in various A sports and United States Road Racing Championship events. In 1965 the team car was the M1A prototype from which the production Elva M1As were based. In late 1965, the M1B (also known as Mk2) was the team car for the North American races at the end of the year. For the Can-Am Series, which started in 1966, McLaren created the M3 which Bruce and [[Chris Amon]] drove&nbsp;– customer cars also appeared in several races in the [[1966 Can-Am season|1966 season]]. With the M3, they led two races but scored no wins, and the inaugural title was taken by John Surtees in a Lola T70. The following year, Robin Herd purpose-designed the [[Chevrolet]] V8-powered [[McLaren M6A|M6A]], delays with the Formula One programme allowing the team to spend extra resources on developing the Can-Am car which was the first to be painted in McLaren orange. With Denny Hulme now partnering Bruce, they won five of six races and Bruce won the championship, setting the pattern for the next four years. In the [[1968 Can-Am season|1968 season]], they used a new car, the M8, to win four races; non-works McLarens took the other two, but this time Hulme was victorious overall. In the [[1969 Can-Am season|1969 season]], McLaren domination became total as they won all 11 races with the M8B; Hulme won five, and Bruce won six and the Drivers' Championship.<ref name="clockworkorange">{{cite web|url=http://www.bruce-mclaren.com/the-racing-team/articles/clockwork-orange-mclaren-domination.html|title=Clockwork Orange&nbsp;– McLaren Domination|first=Mark|last=Hughes|author-link=Mark Hughes (journalist)|work=Bruce McLaren Trust|access-date=8 April 2010|archive-date=3 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303165406/http://www.bruce-mclaren.com/the-racing-team/articles/clockwork-orange-mclaren-domination.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> From 1969 onwards, McLaren M12&nbsp;– the customer "variant" of the M8&nbsp;– was driven by several entrants, including a version modified by Jim Hall of Chaparral fame. McLaren's success in Can-Am brought with it financial rewards, both prize money and money from selling cars to other teams, that helped to support the team and fund the nascent and relatively poor-paying Formula One programme.<ref name="clockworkorange"/><ref>{{harvnb|Nye|1988|page=36}}</ref>

[[File:McLarenM8D.jpg|thumb|alt=Orange McLaren M8D Can-Am car|Bruce McLaren was killed testing a McLaren M8D at [[Goodwood Circuit|Goodwood]] in 1970.]]

When Bruce was killed testing the [[1970 Can-Am season|1970 season]]'s M8D, he was at first replaced by [[Dan Gurney]], then later by [[Peter Gethin]]. They won two and one races, respectively, while Hulme won six on the way to the championship. Private teams competing in the 1970 Can-Am series included older M3Bs as well as the M12&nbsp;– the customer version of the team's M8B. In the [[1971 Can-Am season|1971 season]], the team held off the challenge of 1969 world champion [[Jackie Stewart]] in the [[Lola Cars|Lola]] T260, winning eight races, with Peter Revson taking the title. Hulme also won three Can-Am races in the [[1972 Can-Am season|1972 season]], but the [[McLaren M20]] was defeated by the [[Porsche 917]]/10s of [[Mark Donohue]] and [[George Follmer]]. Faced by the greater resources of Porsche, McLaren decided to abandon Can-Am at the end of 1972 and focus solely on [[open wheel car|open-wheel racing]].<ref name="clockworkorange"/> When the original Can-Am series ceased at the end of the [[1974 Can-Am season|1974 season]], McLaren was by far the most successful constructor with 43 wins.<ref>{{harvnb|Taylor|2009|page=301}}</ref>

McLaren first contested the [[United States Auto Club]]'s (USAC) Indianapolis 500 race in [[1970 Indianapolis 500|1970]], encouraged by their tyre supplier [[Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company|Goodyear]], which wanted to break competitor [[Firestone Tire and Rubber Company|Firestone]]'s stranglehold on the event. With the M15 car, Bruce, Chris Amon, and Denny Hulme entered, but after Amon withdrew and Hulme was severely burned on the hands in an incident in practice, Peter Revson and [[Carl Williams (driver)|Carl Williams]] took their places in the race to retire and finish seventh, respectively.

In August 2019, it was announced McLaren would contest the championship full-time in [[2020 IndyCar Series|2020]], collaborating with [[Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/mclaren-indycar-fulltime-arrow-spm/4510636/|title=McLaren returns to IndyCar full-time partnering with Arrow SPM|last=Malsher|first=David|work=[[Motorsport.com]]|publisher=[[Motorsport Network]]|date=9 August 2019|access-date=9 August 2019}}</ref> to form Arrow McLaren SP.

Zak Brown stated in an interview with [[Leigh Diffey]] that McLaren joining the IndyCar Series full time was spurred by two different objectives. The first was to market the McLaren brand and some of the McLaren Formula One team's prominent American based sponsors in a primarily North America centric racing series, as Formula One only had three races in North America in [[2021 Formula One World Championship|2021]] and only one of those races was in the United States. The second was to branch McLaren's engineering expertise into a racing series that the other Formula One teams were not involved in, as Brown thought McLaren would stand out more amongst its competitors in IndyCar than it would in other racing series. Brown also stated that McLaren chose to partner with Schmidt Peterson Motorsports because their previous efforts fielding their team with assistance from Andretti Autosport and Carlin exclusively for the Indianapolis 500 had not been successful and that the purchase of the IndyCar Series by [[Roger Penske|Penske Entertainment]] gave McLaren more confidence in the long term viability and stability of the series compared to the previous ownership under [[Tony George]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Diffey|first1=Leigh|title=Long Beach 'where it all started' for Zak Brown|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5Kw48_CwFc&t=673s|website=Youtube|date=27 September 2021 |publisher=NBC Sports Network|access-date=1 October 2021}}</ref>

In August 2021, it was announced that McLaren Racing will acquire a majority stake in the IndyCar Team. The transaction closed by the end of the year and saw McLaren Racing take a 75% share of the team. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.mclaren.com/racing/team/mclaren-racing-opens-new-indycar-chapter-agreement-acquire-majority-stake-arrow-mclaren-sp/| title = McLaren Racing - McLaren Racing opens new IndyCar chapter with agreement to acquire majority stake in AMSP}}</ref>

For the [[2022 IndyCar Series]], the team's first under McLaren ownership, both O'Ward and Rosenqvist would return to the team as full time entries. The No. 6 car would again return on a part-time basis for the [[GMR Grand Prix]] and the [[2022 Indianapolis 500]] driven by Juan Pablo Montoya.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Pyrson |first1=Mike |title=Juan Pablo Montoya Returning to Indy 500 in 2022 |url=https://www.autoweek.com/racing/indycar/a38737355/juan-pablo-montoya-returning-to-indy-500-in-2022/ |website=Autoweek |date=11 January 2022 |publisher=Hearst Autos |access-date=23 January 2022}}</ref> O'Ward and Rosenqvist would finish second and fourth in the Indianapolis 500 respectively, the team's best finish at Indianapolis to date.

=== Ownership and management ===
[[File:Ron dennis 2000Monaco.jpg|thumb|upright|alt=Ron Dennis in a suit|[[Ron Dennis]] (pictured at the [[2000 Monaco Grand Prix]]) was team principal from 1980 to 2009 and the chairman of the [[McLaren Group]] until 2017.]]

After Bruce McLaren died in a testing accident in 1970, [[Teddy Mayer]] took over the team. In 1981, McLaren merged with Ron Dennis' Project Four Racing; Dennis took over as team principal and shortly after organised a buyout of the original McLaren shareholders to take full control of the team. Dennis offered [[Mansour Ojjeh]] the chance to purchase 50% of the team in 1983, with McLaren becoming a joint venture with Ojjeh's [[TAG Group]]. In 2000, after supplying engines to the team through its [[Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines|Mercedes]] subsidiary for 5 years, [[DaimlerChrysler]] (now [[Daimler AG]]) exercised an option to buy 40% of the TAG McLaren Group.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2000/feb/04/12 |title=DaimlerChrysler buys into F1 team|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|date=4 February 2000|access-date=7 April 2010}}</ref> Dennis and Ojjeh each retained a 30% share,<ref>{{cite web|title=Daimler takes large stake in McLaren |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/daimlerchrysler-buys-stake-in-mclaren-1105994.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220512/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/daimlerchrysler-buys-stake-in-mclaren-1105994.html |archive-date=12 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|work=[[The Independent]]|date=11 July 1999|access-date=19 October 2021}}</ref> and each sold half of their stake to the [[Mumtalakat Holding Company]] (the [[sovereign wealth fund]] of the [[Kingdom of Bahrain]]) in 2007.<ref>{{cite news|last=Noble|first=Jonathan|title=Bahrain company buys into McLaren|url=https://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/56174|date=9 January 2007|access-date=11 January 2007|work=Autosport|publisher=Haymarket Media}}</ref> Although Daimler were reportedly considering acquiring the remaining 60% from Dennis and Ojjeh, they instead bought [[Brawn GP]] (renaming it [[Mercedes GP]]) in November 2009;<ref name="mercedesbrawn">{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8362295.stm|last=Benson|first=Andrew|title=Mercedes takes over Brawn F1 team|work=BBC Sport|date=16 November 2009|access-date=23 November 2009}}</ref> their McLaren shares were sold back to Mumtalakat, Dennis, and Ojjeh in 2010.<ref name=PwM>{{cite web|title=McLaren reclaim shares from Daimler|work=[[The Guardian]]|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2010/mar/18/mercedes-mclaren-shares-formula-one |date=18 March 2010|access-date=19 October 2021}}</ref>

=== Politics ===
McLaren has had an uneasy relationship with Formula One's governing body, the FIA, and its predecessor FISA, as well as with the commercial rights holders of the sport. McLaren was involved, along with the other teams of the [[Formula One Constructors Association]] (FOCA), in a dispute with FISA and Alfa Romeo, Renault, and Ferrari over control of the sport in the early 1980s. During this dispute, known as the [[FISA-FOCA war]], [[FISA–FOCA war#Proposed World Professional Drivers Championship 1981 Events|a breakaway series]] was threatened, FISA refused to sanction [[1981 South African Grand Prix|one race]], and FOCA [[1982 San Marino Grand Prix|boycotted another]]. It was eventually resolved by a revenue-sharing deal called the [[Concorde Agreement]].<ref>{{harvnb|Tremayne|Hughes|1998|page=114}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Collings|2004|pages=116–117}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Collings|2004|pages=145–148}}</ref>

Subsequent Concorde Agreements were signed in 1987 and 1992, but in 1996, McLaren was again one of the teams which disputed the terms of a new agreement, this time with former FOCA president [[Bernie Ecclestone]]'s [[Formula One Promotions and Administration]] organisation; a new 10-year agreement was eventually signed in 1998.<ref>{{harvnb|Collings|2004|pages=217–224}}</ref> Similar arguments restarted in the mid-2000s, with McLaren and their part-owner Mercedes again threatening to start a rival series, before another Concorde Agreement was signed in 2009.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8179661.stm|title=New deal ends F1 breakaway fears|work=BBC Sport|date=1 August 2009|access-date=26 March 2010}}</ref> In 2007, McLaren were involved in an [[2007 Formula One espionage controversy|espionage controversy]] after their chief designer [[Mike Coughlan]] obtained confidential technical information from Ferrari.

During Brown's tenure as CEO, McLaren has been critical of collaboration between teams, particularly [[Red Bull GmbH]]'s ownership of two teams.<ref>{{Cite news |title=McLaren chief Zak Brown renews attack on 'A-B teams' in Formula 1 amid Mercedes' interest in Alpine stake |url=https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/13535334/mclaren-chief-zak-brown-renews-attack-on-a-b-teams-in-formula-1-amid-mercedes-interest-in-alpine-stake |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260424032949/https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/13535334/mclaren-chief-zak-brown-renews-attack-on-a-b-teams-in-formula-1-amid-mercedes-interest-in-alpine-stake |archive-date=2026-04-24 |access-date=2026-05-19 |work=Sky Sports |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Smith |first=Luke |date=2026-05-18 |title=Other sports have strict rules against multi-team ownership.

=== Facilities ===
In 2026, McLaren Racing expanded its Indianapolis base with the opening of the McLaren Racing Center, a newly renovated $30 million facility that increased the team's footprint from approximately 33,000 sq ft to around 86,000 sq ft to support its IndyCar operations.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=Inside Arrow McLaren's New $30M Racing Center: The Facts, Figures, and Philosophy |url=https://www.fanamp.com/articles/mclaren-racing-center-indianapolis-facts-and-figures-with-kevin-thimjon |access-date=30 March 2026 |website=www.fanamp.com |language=en}}</ref> The space includes 12 dedicated car bays, indoor space for team haulers, a pit-stop practice area, office space, and an integrated gym and recovery facility.<ref name=":3" />

== Sponsorship, livery and naming ==
=== Title sponsors ===
[[File:Marlboro McLarens Donington.jpg|thumb|alt=Red-and-white Marlboro McLaren cars on display|McLaren's Formula One team was sponsored for 23 years by [[Philip Morris International|Philip Morris]]'s [[Marlboro (cigarette)|Marlboro]] cigarette brand.]]

In {{F1|1968}}, the [[Royal Automobile Club]] and the FIA relaxed the rules regarding commercial sponsorship of Formula One cars. In {{F1|1972}}, [[Yardley London]], a cosmetics company, became McLaren's first title sponsor and the team raced as Yardley Team McLaren.<ref>{{harvnb|Tremayne|Hughes|1998|pages=238–248}}</ref><ref name="tremayne246">{{harvnb|Tremayne|Hughes|1998|p=246}}</ref> As a result, the livery was changed to a predominantly white one to reflect the sponsor's colours.<ref>{{harvnb|Taylor|2009|pages=98–101}}</ref> In {{F1|1974}}, [[Philip Morris International|Philip Morris]] was signed as title sponsor through their [[Marlboro]] cigarette brand although one car continued to run-ostensibly by a separate team-with Yardley livery for the year.<ref name="tremayne246" /> Marlboro's red-and-white branding lasted until {{F1|1996}}, during which time the team went by the many variants of the Marlboro McLaren name.

In the team's [[1966 Monaco Grand Prix|debut race in 1966]], it ran white-and-green coloured cars, which came about as a result of a deal with the makers of the film ''[[Grand Prix (1966 film)|Grand Prix]]''.<ref name="Colours">{{cite web |title=The Colours of McLaren |url=https://www.thebrucemclarenmovie.com/wscolours.htm |access-date=26 March 2010 |work=The Bruce McLaren Movie Official Website}}</ref> Between {{F1|1968}} and {{F1|1971}}, the team used an orange design, dubbed the papaya orange, which was also applied to cars competing in the Indianapolis 500 and Can-Am series, and was used as an interim testing livery in later years.<ref name="Colours" /><ref>{{cite book |last=von Wegner |first=Alexander |title=Speed and Power |publisher=[[Parragon]] |year=1999 |isbn=0-7525-3144-1 |page=77 |chapter=Grand Prix Motor Racing}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=9 January 2006 |title=Orange livery for interim McLaren |url=https://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2006/1/3902.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140806204331/http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2006/1/3902.html |archive-date=6 August 2014 |access-date=26 March 2010 |work=Formula1.com |publisher=[[Formula One]]}}</ref> Between 1972 to 2013, McLaren's livery colours reflected the colours of the title sponsors. Since 2017, McLaren returned to its traditional papaya orange colours, which was also used on their cars entered in other racing series such as Extreme E and Formula E.

McLaren have a team tradition where they would run the same design the season after a championship win.

=== Car naming nomenclature ===
McLaren's cars were originally named with the letter M followed by a number, sometimes also followed by a letter denoting the model.<ref>{{harvnb|Nye|1988|loc=Appendix 1}}</ref> After the 1981 merger with Project Four, the cars were called "MP4/x", or since 2001 "MP4-x",<ref>{{cite web |title=History of McLaren&nbsp;– Timeline&nbsp;– The 2000s |url=https://www.mclaren.com/historyofmclaren/timeline_00s.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080103005051/http://www.mclaren.com/historyofmclaren/timeline_00s.php |archive-date=3 January 2008 |access-date=29 December 2007 |publisher=mclaren.com}}</ref> where x is the generation of the chassis (e.g. [[McLaren MP4/1|MP4/1]], [[McLaren MP4-22|MP4-22]]). "MP4" stood initially for "Marlboro Project 4",<ref>{{cite book |last1=Schlegelmilch |first1=Rainer W. |url=https://archive.org/details/mclarenformula100schl/page/98 |title=McLaren Formula 1 |last2=Lehbrink |first2=Hartmut |publisher=Könemann |year=1999 |isbn=3-8290-0945-3 |page=[https://archive.org/details/mclarenformula100schl/page/98 98] |url-access=registration}}</ref> so that the full title of the cars (McLaren MP4/x) reflected not only the historical name of the team, but also the names of the team's major sponsor and its new component part. Since the change of title sponsor in 1997, "MP4" was said to stand for "McLaren Project 4".<ref>{{cite web |title=Formula One Teams Profile: McLaren |url=https://www.espnstar.com/formula1/formula1_teamdetails_2.html |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070429214801/http://www.espnstar.com/formula1/formula1_teamdetails_2.html |archive-date=29 April 2007 |access-date=12 April 2007 |publisher=espnstar.com |agency=[[ESPN]]}}</ref> From 2017, following Ron Dennis' departure from the team, the naming scheme of the cars changed to "MCL" followed by a number.<ref name="MCL32">{{cite web |date=3 February 2017 |title=McLaren announce new car name |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/headlines/2017/2/mclaren-announce-new-car-name.html |access-date=3 February 2017 |work=Formula1.com |publisher=Formula One World Championship Ltd}}</ref> The only deviation to the numbering scheme was 2023's [[McLaren MCL60|MCL60]], which was named for the team's 60th anniversary.<ref name=mcl60/><ref name=mcl601/>

== Race cars ==
As a constructor, McLaren has entered numerous race cars designed in-house into racing events, most prominently [[Formula One]]. {{As of|2025}}, the only exceptions to this are the [[Arrow McLaren]] [[IndyCar]] team, who run [[Dallara]]-built chassis (initially the [[Dallara DW12|IR-12]], which was supplemented by the [[Dallara DW12#IR–18 Universal Aero Kit (UAK-18) (2018–2026)|IR-18]]), McLaren's [[Extreme E]] team, who ran the [[Spark Odyssey 21]], and their [[Formula E]] operation, who ran [[Formula E Gen3]] with [[Nissan]]'s powertrain.

Currently, McLaren builds only [[Formula One car]]s; the most successful McLaren Formula One car is the [[McLaren MP4/4]] of {{f1|1988}}, also one of the most successful Formula One cars of all time. The MP4/4, driven by teammates [[Ayrton Senna]] and [[Alain Prost]], took victories and pole positions in all but one race.<ref>{{cite web|title=McLaren Timeline '80s|url=https://www.mclaren.com/mclarengroup/timeline-80s.php|access-date=12 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080801174826/http://www.mclaren.com/mclarengroup/timeline-80s.php|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 August 2008}}</ref>
