This Friday, February 11, McLaren became the fourth team to present its new car for the 2022 Formula 1 season, a car that will once again be driven by Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris for the second consecutive season.
In this way, the Woking team has publicly unveiled the new MCL36 , the first car of the British structure under the new technical rules that will kick off in 2022 and that threaten to change the order of a grid in which McLaren has made a lot of progress in recent years.
Despite the regulatory change, after seeing the latest posts from the team on social media, there was no doubt that the papaya orange color would continue to dominate the Woking car, but what no one expected was such a groundbreaking design change inspired by the Livery of the MCL35M at the Monaco GP, but with touches of blue and black colours.

Through an event that started at 8:00 p.m. in Spain, McLaren presented several projects beyond its next Formula 1 single-seater, including IndyCar, Extreme E and eSports, a clear sign that the team is expanding more and more in the world of motorsport, with Formula E also a future target.
In that same event, held live from the McLaren Technology Center in Woking and with the presence of Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo , McLaren finally unveiled the new MCL36, a car with which they hope to take the next step forward and be ready to fight for wins every weekend.
After arriving at the team in 2019, Norris will defend the colors of McLaren again in the 2022 season, a union that has achieved unbeatable performance so far and that the team wanted to reward a few days ago with the signing of a new contract that will unite them until 2025.
On the other side of the garage, the situation is not so idyllic. After announcing the arrival of Ricciardo in style, the performance of the Australian in his first course dressed in papaya orange was not as expected, however, it seems that after a year of adaptation to the structure and with the arrival of the new single-seaters of ground effect, can take that step forward that the team needed so much throughout 2021.
