F1 News: Fans Gush Over McLaren Triple Crown Livery For Monaco Grand Prix

McLaren has unveiled their ' Triple Crown' livery for the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend and fans have been quite to deliver their verdict on the new design.

The team explained the background of the striking design in a press release, which reads:

"The livery embraces and honours McLaren’s Triple Crown achievements in winning the three most prestigious races in motorsport: the 1974 Indy 500 with Johnny Rutherford, the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix with Alain Prost, and the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans with JJ Lehto, Yannick Dalmas and Masanori Sekiya.

"Striking papaya elements from McLaren’s maiden Indy 500 winning M16C/D gracefully covers the rear of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri’s MCL60 before meeting a sharp ice white centre taken from Alain Prost’s 1984 Monaco Grand Prix winning MP4/2. The front end of the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix car is finished in black in tribute to the F1 GTR that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans on McLaren’s first attempt."

One fan called for the livery to be used all year round rather than as a one-off design. They commented:

"Why must the best liveries be used on special occasions. I'd like this all year round; absolute beauty"

"I love those side views especially . Hopefully we can find a special result for it like we did last time we had a Monaco Special livery"
