- It’s been 10 years since McLaren’s nadir.
No pace, no reliability, no sponsors, no hope.
What an incredible turn around since then.
May the McLaren flags fly high for years to come

Our origin story started with a dream.
Now, we're going back to where that dream began - to the pinnacle of sports car racing - showing that Bruce's belief in what McLaren could be still defines who we are.
The MCL-HY is here to write our next chapter...
Saddened to hear the news of Alex Zanardi’s passing, a truly inspirational man and athlete to all. Alex’s resilience and determination is something we all admired, and his legacy in sport will remain strong.
Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this time 🧡

We are deeply saddened to learn that Alex Zanardi has passed away at the age of 59.
Zanardi was a two-time IndyCar (CART) champion for Chip Ganassi Racing and competed in F1 for Jordan, Minardi, Lotus and Williams across 41 grands prix.
The Bologna-born Italian’s motor sport career took a dramatic turn in 2001 after an IndyCar (Champ Car) crash which led to him having his legs amputated.
He staged a remarkable sporting comeback to become one of Italy’s most successful Paralympic athletes - winning four gold medals and two silver at the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Games.
Sadly in 2020, Zanardi was seriously injured when he was struck by a truck while competing in a para-cycling relay in Tuscany. He suffered serious head injuries and spent several years undergoing treatment.
“It is with deep sorrow that the family announces the passing of Alessandro Zanardi, which occurred suddenly yesterday evening, 1 May,” his family said in a statement.
“Alex passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of his family and friends.
“The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to all those who are showing their support at this time and asks that their grief and privacy be respected during this period of mourning.”
Motor Sport sends its deepest condolences to the family, friends and former colleagues of Alex.
