What we learnt from McLaren's surprise livery reveal and season launch

McLaren sprung a surprise for fans on Tuesday with an unexpected reveal of its revised 2024 F1 car livery. So what better time for a catch-up on all things papaya, with Scott Mitchell-Malm and Ben Anderson joining Edd Straw for a wide-ranging chat. They explain why McLaren's decision to kick-start its 2024 preparations without showing a car could actually be a good thing, and, with Scott and Ben having recently spoken with Team Principal Andrea Stella and CEO Zak Brown, provide the latest on where the Woking team is placed heading into another season. Amongst the topics discussed are how McLaren's new technical recruits have settled in, why there's considerably more optimism around the team this year than there was 12 months ago, why Brown is so against Red Bull's ownership of two F1 teams, and the prospect of either Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri claiming a maiden victory in 2024.
