McLaren Racing has partnered with Optimum Nutrition, which will serve as the official sports nutrition partner of the McLaren Formula 1 team for the 2024 season and beyond.
 
The partnership will focus on supporting the performance of the team’s drivers and pit crew, with science-led sports nutrition products including its Gold Standard 100% Whey protein powder, which contains 24 grams of protein including 5.5 grams of naturally-occurring BCAAs for endurance and recovery.
 
In the 2023 season, McLaren Racing broke the Guinness world record for the fastest-ever pit stop, with a 1.80-second pit stop at the Qatar Grand Prix. Optimum Nutrition aims to support the team in order to keep them at the top of their game.
 
Optimum Nutrition branding will be featured on pit crew overalls, set-up kits, and driver overalls worn by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
 
“It’s great to welcome Optimum Nutrition to the team,” said Matt Dennington, executive director, partnerships and accelerator, at McLaren Racing. “We operate in a high performance environment and our people are our most important asset, so it’s fantastic that Optimum Nutrition will support our continuous push for improvement and excellence across everything we do.”
 
“We’re delighted that Optimum Nutrition, which has been trusted by all types of athletes across many sports for 35 years, has joined McLaren Racing as official sports nutrition partner,” said Colin Westcott-Pitt, global chief brand officer at Glanbia Performance Nutrition, parent company of Optimum Nutrition. “Both McLaren and Optimum Nutrition are dedicated to peak human performance and excellence so we are thrilled to be working together during the forthcoming F1 season.”
