The reigning Formula 1 constructors' champions, McLaren, have become the first team to launch their 2025 car ahead of the new season.

When teams perform a car launch, they claim to be launching their new car in full for the year (though some look to deceive their rivals with what is unveiled), and a livery launch simply pulls the covers off the new colour scheme on the next cars, with the updated paintwork placed on either a show car or previous model from the team.

Last year’s constructors’ champion squad shows off its MCL39 challenger in a one-off colour scheme with a promotional filming day and season launch at Silverstone
