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 is the first team to put the 2025 car on the tarmac. The car is being run with a one-off livery this Thursday at the Silverstone circuit, where the papaya team is holding a shakedown, which means that the number of kilometers the team can run are limited, of course.
Lando Norris is the first driver to drive the new McLaren car in anger, which has again, a papaya coloured. However it is not the main colour present in the car in this one-off livery. It is expected, however, that papaya will also be the main color in the final color scheme, because it is not without reason that McLaren is the "papaya team."
The livery for the 2025 season will be announced soon. The unveiling will take place on February 18 in London, when there is an event in the O2 Arena where all ten F1 teams will be present and show their liveries to the world.
