McLaren was the first team of the ten to present its 2021 car to the world on Monday. However, the car itself was not present at the presentation, as it was already ready at Silverstone for the first metres on the circuit.

Drivers having fun with new car

Lando Norris gets the honour to test the new car of McLaren first on the circuit. For the film day that the teams are allowed to use twice a year, they can test 100 kilometres each time.

New recruit Daniel Ricciardo takes over from the young Briton in the afternoon session, when he will drive the McLaren for the first time. The Australian seems to be enjoying himself and it provides some nice pictures.
