McLaren Racing Live In Conversation

Some of the biggest names in motorsport will appear at McLaren Racing Live in Conversation in London later this year. 

The first-of-its-kind event will take over the O2 Arena for one night only on December 14, with current McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, Team Principal Andrea Stella and McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown set to take fans inside the inner workings of one of racing's most successful modern teams. 

Hear directly about McLaren's return to the top of Formula 1, the pressure of competing for world championships, life in the paddock, and what it takes to perform in the world's most demanding racing series. Tickets go on general sale at 10am tomorrow (July 17) - Compare and buy tickets here.

Norris scraped over the line last year, beating team-mate Piastri, to win his first F1 World Championship title, despite relentless pressure from Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing. Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes is currently leading the Drivers' Standings with 179 points, followed by George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, with the Belgian Grand Prix at the famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit set to take place this weekend (July 17 - 19) before F1's month-long summer break.
