Within that timewe’ve risen and fallendiscovered new heroeslost legendswon on the final lap and endured gut-wrenching late defeatsexperiencing every emotion imaginable.
Our champions have all possessed the same insatiable desire to race and relentless work ethic as our founderBruce McLarenbut each has told their own uniquetimeless tale… Emerson Fittipaldi ignited the passion of his native BrazilJames Hunt created as many headlines on the front pages as on the backNiki Lauda and Alain Prost turned sport to scienceAyrton Senna’s burning intensity took our team to new levelsand Mika Häkkinen and Lewis Hamilton won hearts with their fearless aggression.
