for McLaren still to be called McLaren
00:00:02
after all these years with all the
00:00:04
changes in in ownership and so on. I
00:00:06
[music] think it's just absolutely
00:00:08
wonderful and dad would be so proud of
00:00:10
everyone there. For quite a while there
00:00:12
the link between [music]
00:00:14
McLaren, my father and New Zealand
00:00:18
wasn't really at the [music] forefront
00:00:20
of what it was they did or they spoke
00:00:21
about. Since the advent of McLaren
00:00:23
Automotive and [music] Zack Brown coming
00:00:26
on as as CEO of racing, they've made a
00:00:29
lot more of the history and the heritage
00:00:31
and McLaren social media. Now, all the
00:00:34
big anniversaries of dad's achievements,
00:00:37
birthday, death, they put something out
00:00:40
there. The speedy Kiwi, which is
00:00:42
actually my father's second logo, is
00:00:45
[music] actually on the Formula 1 card.
00:00:47
And I mean, he's hanging on there for
00:00:48
Grim Death. The cars go a we bit faster
00:00:50
now than they did when when when he was
00:00:52
created.
