LIVERY CHANGES
At the start of the Pre- Season test in Bahrain, the McLaren MCL36A had a revised livery, removing some of the papaya at the top and replacing with black, McLaren ran with their own branding on the the newly designed area, however the change was made in anticipation of the Google deal.
McLaren Racing represents the very best of what’s possible on a racetrack across performance, inclusion and sustainability, and those are values we share at Google. We’re bringing more innovation to platforms, like Android and Chrome, and seamlessly connecting them to other Google services to optimize McLaren’s race day performance.
Nicholas Drake, VP of Marketing, Google.
