McLaren's Triple Crown

At the Monaco Grand Prix the McLaren Formula 1 Team unveiled a special Triple Crown livery as part of the team’s 60th anniversary celebrations. The design embraced and honoured McLaren’s Triple Crown achievements in winning the three most prestigious races in motorsport: the 1974 Indy 500 with Johnny Rutherford, the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix with Alain Prost, and the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans with JJ Lehto, Yannick Dalmas and Masanori Sekiya. 

Striking papaya elements from McLaren’s maiden Indy 500 winning M16C/D gracefully covers the rear of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri’s MCL60 before meeting a sharp ice white centre taken from Alain Prost’s 1984 Monaco Grand Prix winning MP4/2. The front end of the car is finished in black in tribute to the F1 GTR that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans on McLaren’s first attempt.  

Meanwhile stateside, Arrow McLaren also shined a light on the legacy of the team that Bruce McLaren founded by running four different special liveries on each of the team’s cars at the 2023 Indianapolis 500 on the very same day as the Monaco Grand Prix.
