McLaren is targeting a top 4 finish in the 2023 Formula One constructors’ championship but says it could take a few races before the full potential of its new car is released.
Special year. Special car. 🧡
#MCL60 is ready for the 2023 F1 season! 👊— McLaren (@McLarenF1) February 13, 2023
The new MCL60 — which breaks McLaren’s naming convention of recent years to mark 60 years since Bruce McLaren founded the team — was launched at the team’s UK factory in Woking on Monday.

The new car appears to be an evolution of last year’s McLaren MCL36, which secured fifth place in the 2022 standings behind rivals Alpine.
Britain’s Lando Norris will race at the team for a fifth season alongside rookie teammate Oscar Piastri, who replaces fellow Australian Daniel Ricciardo.
