McLaren-Serenissima

McLaren's brief alliance with Serenissima in 1966 saw the nascent constructor, still finding its footing, utilize the Italian marque's V8 engine. This collaboration, while ultimately unsuccessful, marked McLaren's early attempts to secure a reliable power unit beyond their own developing engines. The single entry, at the 1966 British Grand Prix, highlighted the challenges new teams faced in an era of rapid technological change. Despite the lack of results, it remains a curious footnote in the histories of both McLaren and the short-lived Serenissima F1 project. McLaren-Serenissima competed in 2 races, achieving 0 wins and 0 podiums, but no 0 titles.
