About us

Team Bahrain McLaren is a team build for tomorrow with great respect for the past. We will combine the best of people and technology to unleash the art of the possible and win races.

Through McLaren and the Kingdom of Bahrain, we have the opportunity to bring a new perspective from outside the sport and challenge the status quo. McLaren is no stranger to speed and success on the tarmac with over 50 years at the heart of Formula 1, which has inspired cutting edge innovation that has been applied to its world-leading automotive business and beyond. Bahrain is emerging as an innovation hub for global technology firms, and it is also investing significantly in a series of sporting initiatives which aim to promote wellbeing, community and inspire the athletes of tomorrow. With this ambition and belief, Team Bahrain McLaren is an exciting new chapter for McLaren, the Kingdom of Bahrain and the sport we love – cycling.

Team Bahrain McLaren will take the mantle on from the successful three-year tenure of Team Bahrain Merida, founded by His Highness Shaikh Nasser. The team embodies his passion for sport and cycling, plus his desire to encourage and inspire future generations to be active. Merida will remain a pivotal sponsor of the team, providing the bikes that have seen the team take on 52 wins over the three seasons.

Team Bahrain McLaren, together with our partners, will inspire riders and fans through its passion for the sport and the wonder of innovation. Welcome to a new era of cycling.

Welcome to Team Bahrain McLaren.
