McLaren will make their Triple Crown debut at the Monaco GP this weekend
McLaren has unveiled the new ‘Triple Crown’ for the upcoming Monaco and Spanish Grands Prix.
The British team is celebrating their history, which includes victories in three of the most prestigious motorsport events – the Monaco GP, the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which together are known as the Triple Crown.
Graham Hill is the only driver to finish three times, but McLaren has the honor as a team, completing the set in 1995 with victory at their Le Mans race.
With the Monaco GP and Indy 500 taking place this week, both live on Sky Sports, McLaren have prepared special liveries to honor their Triple Crown victory.
McLaren’s MCL60 Triple Crown livery alongside the three winning cars the design was inspired by
The Indy 500 livery was revealed in April, but McLaren will wait until race week in Monaco to reveal their F1 design.
The papaya that dominates the usual look of the MCL60 remains at the back, but the center of the car is white in view of the MP4/2 Alain Prost won at the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix, while the front is black. a tribute to their Le Mans victory.
The show will remain in the car for next week’s Spanish GP in Barcelona,which will take place a week before this year’s Le Mans.
McLaren driver Lando Norris said: “It’s a privilege to be part of the 60th anniversary of McLaren Racing and combining three of McLaren’s most successful races into one. The 2023 Monaco Grand Prix will be a special moment for the whole team.
“McLaren has an impressive track record in Monte Carlo and on a personal level to be on the podium at the 2021 race was a huge honour. We will be racing hard in a spectacular car to celebrate Bruce McLaren and the team’s incredible legacy.”
McLaren CEO Zak Brown added: “Having achieved motorsport’s greatest achievement by completing the Triple Crown, we are proud to celebrate the history of McLaren Racing with a special opportunity at the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix.
“In line with our 60th anniversary celebrations and honoring the legacy of Bruce McLaren, a special exhibition honors the three victories that make up the Triple Crown accolade.”
McLaren arrived in Monaco looking for a breakthrough after a very disappointing start to 2023, with the team taking just 14 points from the opening five races.
A big change seemed to bring about a turnaround in Azerbaijan’s performance last month, but a return to Miami a week later has left serious doubts as to whether he has the drive to consistently score points this season.
