A Formula 1 car was introduced three years later \u2013 McLaren scoring the team\u2019s breakthrough success in the 1968 Belgian Grand Prix. However, the respected New Zealander was killed on June 2 1970 while testing a Can-Am car at Goodwood.<\/p>\n<p>With Teddy Mayer at the helm and Denny Hulme a galvanising force, the team recovered despite that considerable loss. Emerson Fittipaldi won the 1974 World Championship and both Mark Donohue and Johnny Rutherford were successful at Indianapolis that decade. James Hunt replaced Fittipaldi in 1976 and clinched a dramatic last-gasp world title that year \u2013 a success immortalised in the film Rush.<\/p>\n<p>With the team\u2019s fortunes on the wane, long-time sponsors Marlboro brokered a merger with Ron Dennis\u2019 ambitious Project Four Racing in 1981. That returned the team to winning ways and Niki Lauda and then Alain Prost scored successive World Championships from 1984 to 1986.<\/p>\n\n                            <div class=\"expanding-content__buttons\">\n                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"button button--outline button--chevron-down expanding-content__more\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Read full profile<\/a>\n                        <a href=\"#\" class=\"button button--outline button--chevron-up expanding-content__less\" data-behaviour=\"toggle\">Read Less<\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/section>\n\n                                \n   <\/div>\n\n<section class=\"c-content-article content-article content-section\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"content-article__grid\">\n            <div class=\"content-article__article\">\n                <h2 class=\"title sanomat\">From the archive<\/h2>\n                                    <div\n                        data-behaviour=\"tag-automation\"\n                        data-automation-type=\"related-issue-content\"\n                        data-tags=\"[&quot;ABB FIA Formula E World Championship&quot;,&quot;Bruce McLaren Motor Racing&quot;,&quot;Can-Am Challenge&quot;,&quot;European F2 Trophy&quot;,&quot;F1 World Championship&quot;,&quot;FIA International F3000 Championship&quot;,&quot;Honda Marlboro McLaren&quot;,&quot;International Championship of Makes&quot;,&quot;John Player British F2 Championship&quot;,&quot;Marlboro McLaren&quot;,&quot;Marlboro McLaren International&quot;,&quot;Marlboro McLaren Mercedes&quot;,&quot;Marlboro McLaren Peugeot&quot;,&quot;Marlboro Team McLaren&quot;,&quot;Marlboro Team Texaco&quot;,&quot;McLaren&quot;,&quot;McLaren F1 Team&quot;,&quot;McLaren Formula 1 Team&quot;,&quot;McLaren Honda&quot;,&quot;McLaren Mercedes&quot;,&quot;McLaren Racing&quot;,&quot;MySAP.com Team&quot;,&quot;Neom McLaren Formula E Team&quot;,&quot;Non-championship&quot;,&quot;NTT IndyCar Series&quot;,&quot;RAC British F2 Championship&quot;,&quot;SCCA\\\/CART Indycar Championship&quot;,&quot;Tasman Cup&quot;,&quot;Team McLaren&quot;,&quot;Team McLaren Mercedes&quot;,&quot;USAC Citicorp Cup National Championship&quot;,&quot;USAC National Championship&quot;,&quot;Vodafone McLaren Mercedes&quot;,&quot;West Competition (McLaren)&quot;,&quot;West McLaren Mercedes&quot;,&quot;Yardley Team McLaren&quot;]\"\n                        data-current-post=\"44575\"><\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"content-article__content user-content\">\n                <p>Ayrton Senna joined the team in 1988 to become World Champion for the first time as McLaren-Hondas won all-but one race. That was at the start of a fractious period within the team for team-mates Senna and Prost were consumed in one of the fiercest rivalries in F1 history. Again, film makers would preserve a part of McLaren history in the documentary Senna \u2013 a compelling portrayal of the Brazilian and that rivalry.<\/p>\n<p>With Senna and Prost gone, McLaren suffered during the mid-1990s before securing Mercedes-Benz engines and luring designer Adrian Newey from Williams. Mika H\u00e4kkinen delivered back-to-back titles in 1998 and 1999 although the 1998 constructors\u2019 title remains its most recent such success.<\/p>\n<p>There was promise at the beginning of the new century but it was embroiled in the damaging \u201cSpygate\u201d affair in 2007. More positive that year was the introduction of McLaren prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Lewis Hamilton. The Englishman only lost the 2007 title by a point and snatched the following year\u2019s World Championship in the closing moments of the final race.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"c-content-article content-article content-section\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"content-article__grid\">\n            <div class=\"content-article__article\">\n                <h2 class=\"title sanomat\">Related article<\/h2>\n                                    <div\n                        data-behaviour=\"tag-automation\"\n                        data-automation-type=\"related-article\"\n                        data-tags=\"[&quot;ABB FIA Formula E World Championship&quot;,&quot;Bruce McLaren Motor Racing&quot;,&quot;Can-Am Challenge&quot;,&quot;European F2 Trophy&quot;,&quot;F1 World Championship&quot;,&quot;FIA International F3000 Championship&quot;,&quot;Honda Marlboro McLaren&quot;,&quot;International Championship of Makes&quot;,&quot;John Player British F2 Championship&quot;,&quot;Marlboro McLaren&quot;,&quot;Marlboro McLaren International&quot;,&quot;Marlboro McLaren Mercedes&quot;,&quot;Marlboro McLaren Peugeot&quot;,&quot;Marlboro Team McLaren&quot;,&quot;Marlboro Team Texaco&quot;,&quot;McLaren&quot;,&quot;McLaren F1 Team&quot;,&quot;McLaren Formula 1 Team&quot;,&quot;McLaren Honda&quot;,&quot;McLaren Mercedes&quot;,&quot;McLaren Racing&quot;,&quot;MySAP.com Team&quot;,&quot;Neom McLaren Formula E Team&quot;,&quot;Non-championship&quot;,&quot;NTT IndyCar Series&quot;,&quot;RAC British F2 Championship&quot;,&quot;SCCA\\\/CART Indycar Championship&quot;,&quot;Tasman Cup&quot;,&quot;Team McLaren&quot;,&quot;Team McLaren Mercedes&quot;,&quot;USAC Citicorp Cup National Championship&quot;,&quot;USAC National Championship&quot;,&quot;Vodafone McLaren Mercedes&quot;,&quot;West Competition (McLaren)&quot;,&quot;West McLaren Mercedes&quot;,&quot;Yardley Team McLaren&quot;]\"\n                        data-current-post=\"44575\"><\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"content-article__content user-content\">\n                <p>Now housed in its futuristic McLaren Technology Centre and with an expanding road car operation, McLaren remains one of F1\u2019s best-equipped teams. Dennis, who had handed responsibility or the F1 team to Martin Whitmarsh after the damaging 2007 campaign, returned as CEO. Believing a works engine partnership was required to compete for the World Championship once more, McLaren turned to Honda for power units in 2015 although the next three seasons were compromised by disappointing reliability and performance.<\/p>\n<p>Dennis left before the 2017 season with American Zak Brown appointed to steer the team\u2019s fortunes. An early move was to dissolve the Honda partnership at the end of 2017, with a customer agreement for Renault engines agreed for the next three years. The second year with the French concern saw signs of regeneration for Carlos Sainz was promoted to third in Brazil after Hamilton was penalised \u2013 McLaren\u2019s first podium finish in five years \u2013 and it beat the works Renault team into fourth in the 2019 standings.<\/p>\n<p>The team went one better in 2020, coming third in the table with a podium finish apiece for Lando Norris and Sainz. The Spaniard departs McLaren for Ferrari in 2021, with Daniel Ricciardo arriving to fill his place. This season also marks the return of Mercedes power, as McLaren looks to return to the race-winning pace of their earlier partnership.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, the team faced challenges with brake issues and inconsistent form, dropping to fifth place with only one podium, as Ferrari and Alpine overtook it in the standings.<\/p>\n<p>The 2023 season started poorly due to regulatory impacts and leadership changes, but a major upgrade introduced at the Austrian Grand Prix sparked a remarkable turnaround, pushing McLaren back into regular podium finishes with Norris and rookie Oscar Piastri, ultimately finishing fourth and closing the gap to the top teams.<\/p>\n<p>Building on that momentum, McLaren&#8217;s 2024 season marked a triumphant return to the top, culminating in its first constructors&#8217; championship since 1998. Norris secured his maiden grand prix win in Miami and played a pivotal role in clinching the title, with Piastri also contributing several wins and podiums.<\/p>\n<p>Under Andrea Stella&#8217;s leadership, McLaren focused on improving performance, aerodynamics, and mechanical grip, with key upgrades in Miami, the Netherlands, and the United States helping solidify the MCL38&#8217;s competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>The team finished 14 points clear of Ferrari and 77 ahead of Red Bull, signaling a new era of McLaren competitiveness and race-winning pace with Mercedes power.<\/p>\n\n
