Overview
- McLaren unveiled the one-off Google Gemini livery on Tuesday and will run it on Lando Norris’s and Oscar Piastri’s MCL40 cars at the British Grand Prix this weekend, 3–5 July.
- The design draws directly from the team’s first F1 car, the 1966 M2B, and uses a predominantly chrome colour scheme intended as a heritage tribute that departs from McLaren’s usual papaya livery.
- McLaren says Gemini Enterprise is embedded in current operations to build trackside tools that let engineers search and compare sporting regulations during a race.
- The team is developing a natural-language interface to pull data from multiple systems at once for faster trackside answers, and Google says Gemini can turn complex datasets into real-time track intelligence.
- McLaren and Google will show the livery to fans at a joint activation at the Truman Brewery in East London and the partnership, running since 2022, signals a push to blend fan marketing with AI-driven race support.
