McLaren Formula 1 Car by Car chronicles every car McLaren has campaigned since 1966, from the first M2B to Ayrton Senna's MP4/6 to today's MCL60.


McLaren has been a top Formula 1 competitor and innovator since it fielded founder and driver Bruce McLaren's first car, the M2B, in 1966. Just two years later, Bruce scored the team's first grand prix win. Tragically, he was killed in 1970 while testing his Can-Am car at Goodwood.
Despite the heavy loss of its founder, McLaren carried on, scoring its first of twelve championships in 1974 with Emerson Fitipaldi. McLaren's roster of F1 Champions includes such greats as James Hunt, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna, and modern master Lewis Hamilton.
Equally legendary are the cars themselves, including the:
1960s M7A
1970s M23
1980s MP4/2
1990s MP4/5
2000s MP4-23
Today's MCL 60


As the second longest-running team in F1 (surpassed only by Ferrari), McLaren holds twelve Drivers Championships and eight Constructor's titles.
