McLaren Racing NEXT 2025

About the Programme 

At McLaren Racing, our mission is to set the standard in high performance in sport, on and off the track. We believe that diversity of thought is crucial to that, which is why we want to promote and embed a diverse and inclusive culture in our workplace, and industry. 

We created McLaren Racing NEXT to identify and support the next generation of talent to join us on this quest.
