Arancia Meccanica – La Favola Della McLaren

Product description

A path that starts from the determination of Bruce McLaren, founder of the team, marked since childhood by a rare disease but capable of transforming his passion into a career as a driver, designer and entrepreneur.

From the wards of a New Zealand hospital to tracks around the world, his is a story of resilience and vision, giving rise to a brand capable of leaving a deep mark on the history of motorsport.

The book carefully reconstructs all the most important stages: the first successes in the sixties, the tragedy of the founder’s death, the triumphs in Can-Am competitions and the world titles won by drivers such as Emerson Fittipaldi and James Hunt.

The narrative continues through the following decades, with the arrival of Ron Dennis and the transformation of McLaren into a modern and winning structure, capable of dominating the golden age of Formula 1 thanks to names such as Lauda, Prost, Senna, Hakkinen and Hamilton.

A long history made up of technical and sporting challenges, memorable rivalries – first and foremost the one with Ferrari – and constant innovation. The story ends with the constructors’ world championship won in 2024, a symbol of the newfound competitiveness of a team that continues to renew itself without betraying its roots.

Pages full of images, episodes and protagonists, for a complete portrait of one of the most significant realities of international motorsport.
