History: Bruce McLaren Motor Racing was founded in 1963 and competed in its first Grand Prix at Monaco in 1966. The team's first Formula One victory was in the non-championship Race of Champions at Brands Hatch with Bruce McLaren at the wheel. He won again that year in the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa giving the team their first championship win. In 1974, the team won its first Constructors Championship and their driver Emerson Fittipaldi secured the Drivers Championship in the McLaren M23. The team has won a total of 8 Constructors Championships and 12 Drivers Championships with such legends as James Hunt, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna and Mika Häkkinen. Following a remarkable second place in his 2007 rookie season, Lewis Hamilton secured the 2008 Drivers’ Championship by a single point to become the first British Champion since 1996. The MP4-21 was developed by the team for the 2006 Formula One season and introduced the now familiar distinctive chrome livery. This was the car that Lewis Hamilton tested in September of that year, resulting in his appointment as a Vodafone McLaren Mercedes driver for the 2007 season.
