A fire broke out in McLaren’s hospitality unit before the Spanish Grand Prix.
In Barcelona, a small fire ignited in the kitchen of McLaren’s hospitality tent. The exact cause is still under investigation. The tent is now in Germany for cleaning, with smoke removal being the top priority.
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri‘s team had to shift to a smaller space provided by a German company. This new area hosted team members, their guests, and media personnel.
Back in their own unit at Silverstone
If everything goes as planned, McLaren will return to their fully restored hospitality unit next weekend at Silverstone. This is crucial because many guests are expected at their home race there.
