What happened: McLaren is set to contest its 1,000th Formula 1 Grand Prix at Monaco, according to Autosport. The team has prepared a special commemorative livery to mark the occasion at the principality.
Why it matters: The milestone lands at Monaco, the same circuit where Bruce McLaren started the team's first grand prix in 1966 — roughly 60 years earlier. Reaching four figures in race starts is a rare marker of longevity that few constructors in the sport have approached.
By the numbers: First McLaren F1 entry: 1966 Monaco Grand Prix. Span from debut to 1,000th start: about 60 years, both bookended at the same Monaco venue.
What to watch: Watch for the commemorative livery and any milestone tributes from the team across the Monaco race weekend.
