The app will host information on the team's races and drivers as well as interact with fans. Fan interaction on the app will include hosting conversations, posting fan polls and presenting racing reports. Fans will also be able to engage in live chats with Mclaren team members, including engineers, managers, and pit crew. The McLaren app is currently live for iOS and Android users.
