<p><i>"The book’s editorial scope is as expansive as its title suggests, and encompasses its own highlight reel, from the McLaren M2B introduced in the ‘60s to the MCL 60 of today. And within its 200+ pages of info and photos – plus an expansive appendix – is the overview a casual F1 fan can enjoy, along with the more-than-adequate serving of F1 minutiae the Grand Prix zealot would demand."</i></p>

<p><i>"Motorsport Network journalist Stuart Codling serves up a completist’s trove: damn near every stat and feature of every McLaren car to ever race in Formula 1...the book serves as a visual history of the sport seen through the history of one of its most iconic manufacturers. Really, though, it’s about ogling some stunning hardware."</i></p>

McLaren has been a top Formula 1 competitor and innovator since it fielded founder and driver Bruce McLaren’s first car, the M2B, in 1966. Just two years later, Bruce scored the team’s first grand prix win. Tragically, he was killed in 1970 while testing his Can-Am car at Goodwood.
Despite the heavy loss of its founder, McLaren carried on, scoring its first of twelve championships in 1974 with Emerson Fitipaldi. McLaren’s roster of F1 Champions includes such greats as James Hunt, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna, and modern master Lewis Hamilton.
Equally legendary are the cars themselves, including the:
- 1960s M7A
- 1970s M23
- 1980s MP4/2
- 1990s MP4/5
- 2000s MP4-23
- Today’s MCL38
As the second longest-running team in F1 (surpassed only by Ferrari), McLaren holds twelve Drivers Championships and nine Constructors’ titles, including 2024 honors.
