McLaren are one of the seven Formula 1 teams based in the UK and have revealed a striking livery ahead of the British Grand Prix.

The British team have run in their iconic papaya with black this year and have now brought back chrome, seen on the cars from 2006-2014.

They unveiled the new look at the team's McLaren Racing Live event in London ahead of the race weekend.

The livery has been dubbed 'Legacy at Speed' and has been inspired by McLaren's partnership with Google Chrome.

McLaren Racing CMO, Louise McEwen, said: "We know that, while we have millions of fans who have been with the McLaren Formula 1 Team for decades, there are millions more who are new to the sport and the team.

"Being able to celebrate and showcase our long history with the help of Chrome is a fantastic way of bringing these newer fans on the journey with us.

"To celebrate with so many of our fans in London this week as we get ready for our home race makes it even more special!"

McLaren aims for their first British GP win since 2008

McLaren haven't won at Silverstone since Lewis Hamilton in 2008, but have the quickest car in the field this year.

Oscar Piastri leads the world championship by 15 points over Lando Norris after the British driver won in Austria.

Adrienne Lofton, vice president of global product and integrated marketing at Google added: "Google Chrome is proud to join McLaren for McLaren Racing Live: London at Trafalgar Square to reveal the iconic Chrome livery.

"Google Chrome provides unparalleled speed and performance to McLaren and consumers worldwide. We're excited to help bring the Paddock energy to fans in advance of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone."
