迈凯轮(McLaren)由布鲁斯·麦克拉伦(Bruce McLaren)(1937年 - 1970年)于1963年建立,是一支基地位于英国沃金(Woking)的车队。它是著名的一级方程式赛车车队,同时也参加印第安纳波利斯500(Indianaapolis 500)、加拿大-美国挑战杯(Canadian-American Challenge Cup)以及勒芒24小时耐力赛。它的全称是迈凯轮梅塞德斯车队(Team McLaren Merceds)。车队由罗恩·丹尼斯(Ron Dennis)管理,由迈凯轮竞技(McLaren Racing)控制,是迈凯轮集团(McLaren Group)的成员
1990年,迈凯轮汽车(McLaren Cars)建立,在车队专家意见的基础上生产公路汽车。
迈凯轮是F1中最为成功的车队之一。
In 1966 and 1967, the team raced only one car in the Championship with Bruce behind the wheel. In addition to his Grand Prix duties, Bruce also contested the Can Am Championship that year and alongside team mate Denny Hulme, the pair won five out of the season’s six races.
In 1968 the team consisted of two drivers including reigning Formula One World Champion Denny Hulme who also drove for McLaren in Can Am that year. Bruce won the non-championship Race of Champions at the Brands Hatch circuit, then the Belgian Grand Prix was the scene of the team's first Championship win.
A further three podium finishes followed for Bruce in 1969, while he and Hulme won each round of the Can Am Championship.
McLaren decided to abandon the CanAm series at end of the 1972 season, focussing solely on Formula 1 and IndyCar. This decision turned out to be the right one: in 1974 they achieved their first Formula 1 World Constructors' and World Drivers' championship (with Emerson Fittipaldi) and their first Indy 500 win (with Johnny Rutherford). The Drivers' Championship would come their way again in 1976 with James Hunt.
McLaren finally ended their IndyCar involvement at end of 1979 season after increasingly poor returns from the series.
The most successful period in McLaren's history came under the early leadership of Ron Dennis. John Barnard designed the revolutionary M/P4-1 chassis, the first F1 chassis made entirely of carbon-fibre composites, which proved very strong when mated to the TAG / Porsche turbo engine. A succession of strong drivers helped, with Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Keke Rosberg, and Stefan Johansson driving for the team in this period. McLaren-Porsche won the Constructors' title in 1984 (with Lauda taking the Drivers' crown), and 1985 (with Prost winning his first world title). McLaren did not win the Constructors' Championship in 1986, although Prost took the drivers' title again.
After losing the previous two Constructors titles to Williams in 1986 and 1987, McLaren was able to convince Honda to switch its backing from Williams starting in 1988. The McLaren-Honda won an amazing 15 of 16 races that year and leading all but 27 laps, achieving a staggering and unbeaten record to this date. (Senna had been leading comfortably at Monza, but collided with back-marker Jean-Louis Schlesser's Williams.) Ayrton Senna took the driver's title that season, his first with the Woking marque. The next year, using a new 3.5L atmospheric engine designed by Honda, McLaren again won both titles, with Alain Prost clinching it in Japan after a highly-controversial collision with his teammate Senna. This was the culmination of a vitriolic feud between the two men.
Alain Prost left to join the Ferrari team in 1990. Nevertheless, McLaren continued to dominate Formula One for the next two seasons, with Senna winning the World Drivers' Championship in 1990 and 1991, and McLaren taking the constructors title in both of those years. New teammate Gerhard Berger helped to ensure this double success.
1996 was the end of an era for McLaren, as they parted company with long-term sponsors Marlboro, and the famous red and white McLaren livery disappeared from Formula One to be replaced with West branding and a silver Mercedes livery.
The fact that McLaren now had Adrian Newey on board, coupled with the withdrawal of Renault at the end of 1997, meant that McLaren was now perfectly positioned to strike. In 1998 the McLaren was once again able to regularly challenge for Grand Prix victories, winning nine grands prix that year. Häkkinen took the Drivers' Championship in 1998, scoring 100 points, and McLaren took the Constructors' Championship in 1998. Häkkinen took the title again in 1999, but the season was more difficult for the team who lost the Constructors' Championship to Ferrari.
自從2000年後,邁凱輪車隊有點掙扎著要取回它在一級方程式賽車界內龍頭的位置,部分原因是因為意識到Mercedes引擎缺少速度。在2001年, Mika Häkkinen dropped off the pace in comparison with Coulthard, although neither driver could compete with the now dominant combination of Michael Schumacher and Ferrari. In 2002 Häkkinen took a sabbatical (which turned into retirement), opening the way for promising compatriot Kimi Räikkönen to take his place. McLaren only captured four wins over the following three seasons. 2002 saw just a single win at Monaco for Coulthard.
2003 started very promisingly, with wins at the two first grands prix of the year, one each for Coulthard and Räikkönen. However, rival teams soon caught up as McLaren was severely hampered in by the development of the M/P4-18, a radical new design which due to reliability problems never raced in anger. This forced the team to use the year-old M/P4-17D, a very severe handicap in modern Formula One racing. However, despite this, Räikkönen finished in the points consistently and challenged Michael Schumacher for the championship all the way up to the very last race, eventually losing the title by only 2 points.
車隊在2004年賽季推出M/P4-19,技術指導Adrian Newey描述這台車為「M/P4-18的改良版本」。This proved to be anything but the case, and a new car was required by mid-season. The M/P4-19B was basically an all new car with a radically redesigned aerodynamic package. The fact that Coulthard qualified third for its first race, the French Grand Prix, gave the team hope of a better end to the season which was realised when Räikkönen took a famous victory at the 2004 Belgian Grand Prix ahead of Michael Schumacher.
While faster than the resurgent Renault F1 team in most of the races, Renault (and Fernando Alonso in particular) have been able to capitalise when McLarens have broken down. However when Alonso claimed the driver's title, Renault abandoned their conservative approach in both car development and Alonso's driving style. By common consent the Renault R-25 could almost match McLaren's speed at the penultimate Japanese Grand Prix and at the Chinese Grand Prix, where safety car ruined Räikkonen's race strategy and Renault's unsportsmanlike act using Fisichella slowing both McLarens allowed Alonso to take his seventh win of the season. Unlucky Montoya hitted an open drain cover and that ultimately denied McLaren the Constructors' title. At the final grand prix of the season Ron Dennis said: "We feel our championship efforts were thwarted by our conservative approach to the first four races."
On February 22 2005 Diageo plc and Team McLaren announced that Diageo would become principal sponsor of the team through its 尊尼获加 brand, the most popular brand of whiskey worldwide. "Johnnie Walker" titles and "walking man" images were applied to the team's cars (either side of the air intake) for the Hungarian Grand Prix, however "Johnnie Walker" is not be part of the team name. The team will therefore be known as 'Team McLaren Mercedes' until a new title sponsor can be found.
