McLaren will sport a special, heritage-inspired livery at the British Grand Prix, swapping their iconic papaya for a predominantly white design. The new look pays homage to the team's inaugural F1 car, the McLaren M2B, which debuted in 1966.

The team aims to honor its history while pushing for vital championship points this weekend.
