McLaren is a Formula
One team based in Woking, Surrey, UK. Founded in 1963
by New Zealander Bruce McLaren, McLaren is best known
as a Formula One constructor but has also competed in
the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race and Canadian-American Challenge
Cup. The team is one of the most successful teams in Formula
One, having won 162 races, 12 Drivers' Championships and
8 Constructors' Championships. The team were the first
to design a car using a carbon fibre monocoque, which
is now ubiquitous in its use by all teams.
The current team was formed by the merger of Bruce McLaren
Motor Racing with Ron Dennis's Project Four Racing in
1981. Shortly after the merger, Dennis organised a buyout
of the original McLaren shareholders to take full control
of the team. McLaren is part of McLaren Racing, a member
of the McLaren Group. Engines are supplied by McLaren
shareholder Mercedes-Benz through Mercedes-Benz High Performance
Engines. Dennis was team principal from the 1981 merger
until March 2009, when he agreed to transfer his position
to longtime McLaren employee Martin Whitmarsh. Dennis
will continue to work within the McLaren Group. On 29

One Teams Association (FOTA) submitted their entries for
the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship, despite threatening
