Feb 13, 2025
The McLaren F1 Team has a new car for 2025! It's called the MCL39. It went on the track for the first time at Silverstone, a famous racing place. The drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, took turns driving it. The car looked really cool in a special camo design of bright orange and black.
This is a super exciting time for McLaren. They want to win big again after being champions last year! McLaren wants to keep the Constructors’ Championship title they earned after many years. They also hope to win the Drivers’ Championship, which they haven’t done since 2008!
Zak Brown, the boss of McLaren, said that getting the car on the track is a big step for them. They know all the teams will be working hard too, so it will be a tough race. Everyone is excited to see how fast the MCL39 can go. Lando talked about how cool it felt to drive this new car. He and Oscar are ready to work hard to keep winning!
Oscar also shared his excitement. He thinks it’s a great time to show the new design before the season starts. Both drivers know they need to be focused because the other teams will be strong. They are looking forward to the first big race in Australia.
Filming days are important for teams because they can check how the car runs. They can drive up to 200 km to make sure everything is working right. It helps them fix little problems before the real races begin.
Everyone at McLaren is working hard. They want to have a fun and competitive season ahead. This year looks very promising, and the team can’t wait to race!
