McLaren will run an updated livery in the 2022 Formula 1 season finale in Abu Dhabi.

One year ago, at the same race, McLaren launched a new campaign with one of its main sponsors Vuse called Driven by Change.

The purpose was to showcase works of art by underrepresented groups and McLaren kicked it off by running a bespoke version of its 2021 livery in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

McLaren is doing the same again in 2022, this time incorporating work by Lebanese artist Anna Tangles into its usual MCL36 colour scheme.

The usual papaya, blue and black livery has a new style around the Vuse branding on the front wing and sidepods.

This livery will be run on the cars of both Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo, who is starting his final race for McLaren before the early end to his contract that was agreed late in the summer.

 

It is the fourth time in the past two seasons McLaren has opted for a special livery, following its Gulf design in Monaco last year, the original Drive by Change idea in Abu Dhabi, and a ‘return to Asia’ special used in Singapore and Japan this season.
