McLaren and Aston Martin became the latest Formula 1 teams to unveil their cars for the 2023 season.
The car is named MCL 60 which is a reference to the 60th anniversary of the British team which Bruce McLaren founded in 1963.
The eight-time constructors’ champions will field a revised driver line-up consisting of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who replaces Daniel Ricciardo and will make his F1 debut after being reserve driver last season, the same for Alpine.

There have also been been significant changes to McLaren’s leadership, with Andrea Stella taking over as team principal after Andreas Seidl joined Sauber as their new Chief Executive officer.
