McLaren Celebrates 1000th Grand Prix Entry!!

McLaren celebrated a big milestone for the team: their 1,000th Grand Prix entry at the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix. With 995 starts in the history books, McLaren's journey represents decades of triumphs, challenges, and unforgettable moments that have defined one of Formula 1's most iconic names.

Of course, the weekend did not go well, as the team could not start the race with either of its two cars. Still, their 1000th start is approaching fast.

Looking back at the moments and memories that shaped McLaren, this milestone serves as a testament to the legacy built by legends and the future still to be written. As the team prepares to add another chapter at Suzuka, the significance of reaching 1,000 entries resonates across the paddock.
