The MCL60 honors six decades since its birth when the remembered Bruce McLaren he created the team that later became one of the most important in the history of the Máxima. The brand new monoposto added black in its color combination in which the traditional orange predominates. The car, which will be driven by the English Lando Norris and the Australian Oscar Piastri (debutante), presented innovations to return to the victory that he has not achieved since Italy 2021 when Daniel Ricciardo won, although it should be remembered that that day they collided in the fight for the lead Max Verstappen (Red Bull) y Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes).
