mclaren's new logo is inspired by the sign from bruce mclaren's family garage in auckland, where he grew up above the workshop after his dad bought it in 1936.
it was there that bruce developed his early passion for mechanics and worked on his first race cars. mclaren has now brought that piece of his history back into the brand as a nod to where it all began.
lando on the changes he made in the second half of last season that helped him win the championship:
"i had to step up what i was doing away from the track. i added more people to the group i was working with. i had to work harder both on the simulator and at track. i had to dig deep and try and understand more things quicker and in a more advanced way than i ever have before. that's what gave me the advantage."
lando on winning his first grand prix:
"it makes you relax a little bit more. it's not like, 'is this going to be the one? can i do it today?'. it's, 'i did it last week, i did it a couple of months ago, i can do it again.' you get rid of the little voice that's like, 'don't mess it up now!'"
