Australian F1 star Oscar Piastri\u2019s McLaren team sponsor Etihad Airways has unveiled a Boeing 787 Dreamliner in McLaren Racing livery \u2013 the first time an F1 team has featured on a wide-body aircraft.<\/strong><\/p>\n The aircraft carries McLaren\u2019s distinctive identity and papaya colour and will operate across Etihad\u2019s global network, connecting Abu Dhabi with destinations from Dublin, Milan and Vienna to Bali, Bangkok and Delhi.<\/p>\n The livery was revealed at the Etihad Engineering facility in Abu Dhabi, in an event that set a Guinness World Records title for the largest single-piece kabuki reveal.<\/p>\n \u201cEtihad and McLaren Racing are two ambitious global brands with a shared focus on performance and a drive to keep moving forward,\u201d Etihad chief executive officer Antonoaldo Neves said. \u201cThis aircraft will proudly carry that story from our home in Abu Dhabi to cities around the world, bringing our partnership closer to fans wherever it flies and sharing the excitement of Formula 1 with people across our expanding global network.<\/p>\n \u201cFormula 1 has a remarkable ability to connect people and create excitement across borders, and together with McLaren we have an opportunity to bring fans even closer to the action and create memorable moments for them around the world. I look forward to seeing the aircraft in the skies.\u201d<\/p>\n McLaren Racing chief executive officer Zak Brown said: \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to see our partnership with Etihad Airways brought to life in such a unique way. The aircraft livery brings together two iconic global brands and will connect McLaren Racing and Etihad with fans and customers around the world. We look forward to seeing our trademark papaya up in the sky.\u201d<\/p>\n Etihad is an Official Partner of the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team and the McLaren Hypercar Team for the 2026 season and beyond. The livery is the latest expression of the partnership, which was announced earlier this year.<\/p>\n As McLaren competes around the world, Etihad\u2019s network connects Abu Dhabi with many of the sport\u2019s major destinations, including Australia, China, Japan, Singapore, the UK, Spain, Italy and the United States.<\/p>\n Etihad branding also features on the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team\u2019s MCL40 rear wing and halo, as well as on driver helmets.<\/p>\n The partnership builds on Etihad\u2019s long-standing commitment to racing, including its role as title sponsor of the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix since 2009. Abu Dhabi will host the season finale this December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n kabarsula SLOT <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Australian F1 star Oscar Piastri\u2019s McLaren team sponsor Etihad Airways has unveiled a Boeing 787…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4541,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kabarsula"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kabarsula.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kabarsula.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kabarsula.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kabarsula.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kabarsula.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kabarsula.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kabarsula.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kabarsula.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kabarsula.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kabarsula.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
