Their current contract would have expired in 2025 and the two teams have decided to extend their collaboration for further 5 years.

“Mercedes-Benz have been a brilliant and reliable partner of the McLaren Formula 1 team,” said McLaren team boss Zak Brown. “The extension signifies the confidence that our shareholders and the wider team have in their powertrains and the direction we’re taking with them into the new era of regulations ahead.”

The two teams have shared a partnership since 2021 and previously from 1995 until 2014.

McLaren have had a solid performance with the Mercedes unit, winning the 2021 Italian Grand Prix – the only Mercedes’ customer team to do so, and notching 15 podiums along the way.
