18 Grands Prix raced (plus three Sprints)

We’ve raced in four continents and 17 countries (including a City-State and a Principality).

14,867: Parts made for our MCL39A wind tunnel model

Despite the impending demands of new regulations for 2026, we haven’t skimped on developing 2025’s car, the MCL39. We use 60 per cent scale model in the wind tunnel, and it has been evolving at pace, with 2,461 parts machined from metal and 12,406 created with additive manufacturing (3D printing).

253,990: Parts made for the MCL39A so far

This is… a lot of parts. In-house, we’ve made 68,748 metal parts and 64,953 composite parts, while our brilliant supply chain has delivered a further 120,289 parts.

Nine: Pole positions

Lando got us off to a great start with Pole in Australia. He was also on Pole in Monaco, Austria and Belgium. Oscar has been on Pole in China, Bahrain, Emilia-Romagna, Spain and the Netherlands.

11: Fastest Laps

Australia, China, Saudi Arabia, Miami, Monaco and Italy for Lando. Bahrain, Spain, Austria, Great Britain and the Netherlands for Oscar.

12: Grand Prix victories

Seven for Oscar, five for Lando. Lando has won in Australia, Monaco, Austria, Great Britain, and Hungary. Oscar has won in China, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Miami, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. Three of Lando’s victories have come from Pole, four of Oscars. Our record is 15… and it’s definitely in our sights.

28: Podiums

Alongside the 12 victories, McLaren drivers have taken 10 second places and six third places. This is already a McLaren record, beating the 25 podiums managed in 1988 with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in the all-conquering MP4/4, the 24 scored in 2007, and the 22 claimed in 2000. Last year’s tally was 21.

Zero: Power unit failures

Massive shout-out to Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains. Once again, they built us a bullet-proof power unit. The Mercedes-AMG F1 M16 E Performance hasn’t let us down once across 36 races. It runs like a sewing machine. If a sewing machine had a power output somewhere north of 1000hp and could hem at 365km/h.

353.1km/h: The highest speed achieved in a race, at Monza

This was Oscar through the speed trap on the start-finish straight. We may go faster in Las Vegas, we’ll probably go faster in the thin air of Mexico City.

68 terabytes: Data transferred from the garage back to the MTC

We often say we’re a data-driven organisation – and the 68 trillion bytes that have been transferred from the trackside team back to their colleagues in Mission Control so far this season is the tip of that particular spear. Our garage contains around 1km of cabling, and our IT tower, which is the hub of the operation, weighs almost a tonne (980kg at the moment). We’re currently running around 150 virtual machines for the trackside team, spread across four Dell VxRail servers, and have around 330TB of trackside storage. You can never have too much data!
