Someone else pleaded the team to use a similar livery to the Indy 500. They wrote:
"Please be similar to the Monaco one being used in the Indy 500 because livery is [fire]"

The Woking-based squad has had some incredible special liveries over the years including for the 1986 Portugal Grand Prix, 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, 2022 Japanese and Singapore Grand Prix, and the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Some fans are expecting the iconic black and white livery which was the first one adopted by the McLaren team for the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix.
"It seems like we’ve got a fresh Monaco GP special livery on the way for McLaren Could it be a modern tribute to the first F1 livery ever used by a McLaren car at Monaco in 1966?"
