McLaren Honors Hakkinen with Bronze Statue

McLaren just unveiled a bronze statue of Mika Hakkinen at their HQ, commemorating their 1,000th Grand Prix — a milestone that honors the team’s legacy and celebrates Hakkinen’s 1998 championship win, captured mid-celebration at Suzuka. The statue, crafted by artist Paul Oz, stands proudly beside legends like Senna and Lauda, with Hakkinen himself in attendance alongside current stars Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Team bosses Zak Brown and Andrea Stella reflected on McLaren’s storied DNA and their ongoing mission to keep adding trophies to the cabinet. It’s more than a statue — it’s a tribute to the past, a celebration of the present, and a bold look ahead to what’s next on the track.
