McLaren, 2026 begins in a month McLaren has made official the presentation date of the livery with which it will take to the track as world champion next season. The Woking team will unveil the car on February 9th at 4pm Italian time in an online event that will be broadcast from the Bahrain International Circuit (where the tests will be held).

This is an event that will simply show the livery of the world champion car. To see it on the track you will just have to wait two days: the tests will be from 11 to 13 February and from 18 to 20 February on the Sakhir circuit, while the Montmeló shakedown at the end of January does not include the presence of the media. The series of presentations (of liveries or cars) concludes with McLaren. The Woking team will be the last to reveal its colours: it will do so on the same day as Aston Martin.
