The defending Formula 1 Constructors’ Champions are off to a hot start on the track. Lando Norris began the season with a win at the Australian Grand Prix, and teammate Oscar Piastri continued the team’s good fortunes with a win at the Chinese Grand Prix. That gives McLaren three consecutive victories, dating back to Norris’ win in the 2024 season finale in Abu Dhabi.
Now, the team is announcing a first-of-its-kind partnership with Loop, as the Belgian company is becoming McLaren’s first-ever earplug partner.

The Loop Switch 2 earplugs have three settings, ranging from quiet mode to engage mode.
