A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
McLaren could very well be driving a whole new livery next season. The British racing stable posted a picture of a 'stealth mode' racing suit on Thursday morning, appearing to hint at their 2025 car's new livery's colour scheme, which will be officially launched in London next week.
McLaren's Formula 1 team has been busy teasing on social media in recent days. On Wednesday night, for instance, it was revealed that an important message or announcement would follow on Thursday. The mysterious social media posts caused considerable speculation, although a few observing fans had already realised that it might be a racing suit.
Colour scheme McLaren
And indeed, at half past 11, a picture was posted of Lando Norris in a dark racing suit with orange accents, with the caption: "Stealth Mode activated." While McLaren has not yet confirmed that this is actually the racing suit for 2025, this does seem to give the team a clear hint already about the livery for next season. Will McLaren get a stealth mode livery this year?
Looking at McLaren's recent social media activity, it just might. The Woking-based team's most recent posts all consist of the same colour combination of dark grey/black and McLaren's traditional orange. Whether this is actually the case will have to be seen on Tuesday 18 February, when all the cars are launched at F175 in London.
