McLaren will once again run with a different livery in 2023. Ahead of this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, the Woking-based team unveiled a ‘Stealth Mode’ livery to be run at Marina Bay and the Japanese Grand Prix next weekend.

According to the team, “the Stealth Mode livery was co-designed by OKX and McLaren, and will switch McLaren’s livery colourway, augmenting black against the team’s classic papaya trim. The sleek and understated design represents the two brands’ belief in putting in hard work behind the scenes to strive for excellence, while embracing change and innovation.”
A different livery proved to be a lucky charm for McLaren at Silverstone. Using a special chrome livery to celebrate their last Drivers’ Championship with Lewis Hamilton 15 years ago, Lando Norris finished P2 ahead of his fellow Brit who is now driving for Mercedes. Oscar Piastri was an excellent P4 as they had their best day of the season by far at that point.
Zak Brown, CEO, McLaren Racing:
“Our partnership with OKX goes from strength to strength, and it’s fantastic to celebrate it with this incredible livery. Stealth Mode flips our race car’s colours, bringing something exciting and different to these two great races in Singapore and Japan. We hope fans will love it as much as we do and get a chance to enjoy the fan zone to connect with our team. OKX are a dedicated supporter of McLaren’s journey, and in turn we’re proud to bring our partnership to life on track through the global platform of Formula 1.”
Haider Rafique, Chief Marketing Officer, OKX:
“Success on the track, and in the Web3 world, is only possible through teamwork, creativity and innovation. Stealth Mode is inspired by these common principles. It’s also a way for us to celebrate the return of F1 to the Asia Pacific region, which is the epicentre of Web3 in many ways. As Stealth Mode hits the track this weekend we wish the best of luck to Lando and Oscar in what we hope will be a strong performing MCL60.”
