McLaren has emerged as a dominant force in recent Formula 1 races, outscoring Red Bull and Ferrari by over 30 points. With their strong performance, the papaya squad is aiming for their first grand prix win in over two years. Meanwhile, Gerhard Berger's first F1 GP win in 1986 also marked Benetton's debut victory and the last win for a turbocharged BMW engine.
