McLaren officially revealed their 2026 Formula 1 car, the MCL40 at the Bahrain International Circuit on Monday, February 9.
The Woking-based team showcased the car's race livery during a live-streamed event.
Defending drivers' champion Norris and his teammate Oscar Piastri attended the MCL40's unveiling along with McLaren team principal Andrea Stella and executive Zak Brown.
The launch comes just two days before the start of the second pre-season test in Bahrain.
Brown expressed full confidence in Norris saying, "Lando's confidence is very high. He's highly motivated. It's our job to give he and Oscar equipment again to be able to let him fight it out for the championship. But if we can do that, I would think Oscar and Lando will both be in with a shout," as per BBC Sports.
