McLaren’s partnership with iconic brand Gulf Oil will end this year as the sponsorship deal will not be renewed until 2023. The Woking-based team caused a stir in mid-2020 when it was announced that it was renewing its historic partnership with Gulf – the company had originally partnered the team back in 1968.
From the 2020 British Grand Prix, McLaren’s cars wore Gulf’s famous blue and orange colours as part of a deal that also included the supercar brand.
The partnership proved successful and at the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, Gulf and McLaren provided a bespoke livery for the car that was highly praised by fans.
