McLaren has held talks with Max Verstappen as the team seeks to return to Formula 1 winning ways at three selected tracks. It is set to race without its H-wing and hopes to build more confidence at Madrid.
Outside its track programme, the company is preparing to establish 1,000 jobs in the UK, backed by an investment of £450 million. A McLaren F1 LM valued at $20 million was also seen on the streets of London.
