McLaren Formula 1 - Car by Car

McLaren has been a leading force in Formula 1 since Bruce McLaren introduced the M2B in 1966. Only two years later, he achieved the team's first grand prix victory. His career ended tragically in 1970 during testing at Goodwood, but the team continued and soon became one of the sport's great names.

In 1974 McLaren won its first championship with Emerson Fittipaldi. Over the years, champions such as James Hunt, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna, and Lewis Hamilton added to its legacy. The cars are equally iconic, from the 1960s M7A and the 1970s M23 to the MP4/2 of the 1980s, the MP4/5 of the 1990s, the MP4-23 of the 2000s, and today's MCL38.

As Formula 1's second oldest active team, after Ferrari, McLaren has won twelve Drivers' Championships and nine Constructors' titles, including 2024.

This illustrated book presents every McLaren Formula 1 car in order, highlighting each model's main features, development, technical data, and racing results, supported by historic and modern photography. With a foreword by two-time World Champion Mika Häkkinen, "McLaren Formula 1 Car by Car- offers a clear record of the machines and drivers that built McLaren's success.

McLaren from the Inside

Fifty years after its founding, McLaren remains a key team in Formula One and one of the most respected names in motorsport. Tyler Alexander was there from the start. Joining McLaren as a mechanic in 1964, he played a crucial role in building the team's first cars, which quickly achieved success in Formula One and dominated the Can-Am series. During this time, he also captured the team's journey through hundreds of photographs taken at the track and in the McLaren workshop.

"McLaren From The Inside" brings together Alexander's best images from two different periods. Part I features black-and-white photographs from the 1960s, showing Bruce McLaren and his team developing, testing, and racing their cars. It also includes notable drivers like Jim Clark, Dan Gurney, and Jackie Stewart, along with key figures such as John Cooper, Carroll Shelby, and Colin Chapman.

Part II moves to the modern era, capturing McLaren's high-tech Formula One environment in the early 21st century. The book highlights top drivers, including Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, and Kimi Räikkönen, as well as the designers, engineers, and mechanics who continue to drive McLaren's success today.

McLaren - Un homme, une équipe, une marque (Collection Prestige)

McLaren is the most successful Formula 1 team after Ferrari, with 182 Grand Prix victories. The brand also triumphed at Le Mans (on its first attempt), at Indianapolis (three wins), and in Can-Am with its nearly unbeatable prototypes.
After producing three legendary supercars, McLaren launched its own road car brand to compete with Ferrari. The result was a major success: 15.000 cars sold in six years and a growing range of increasingly powerful and exclusive models.

It all began with Bruce McLaren, a talented driver who entered Formula 1 at 20 and built his first car at 30. He passed away in 1970 while driving a McLaren, but his team carried on his legacy.

This book explores McLaren's history, its racing achievements, and the impact of its founder, combining a passion for exceptional cars with a fascination for this legendary team.
