AkzoNobel will continue to provide high performance coatings to McLaren Racing for the new F1 season
McLaren Racing’s Formula 1 car, the MCL35M, will be protected by AkzoNobel’s high-performance coatings for the new 2021 F1 season.
The painted parts of the MCL35M as well as the McLaren Racing team’s transport, garage and accessories will be safeguarded by Sikkens vehicle refinish products. AkzoNobel’s Marine and Protective Coating, Intertherm 50 heat-shielding will be used for critical components surrounding the engine and exhaust.
Scientists and technicians at McLaren Racing and AkzoNobel have been working together since 2008 to accelerate innovation in coatings technology and colour development. In 2012, this technology partnership was extended to McLaren Automotive vehicles.
Testing for the new season is due to start on March 12, while the first Grand Prix is due to take place in Bahrain on March 28.
