McLaren W1 First Drive: Ferocious Hypercar Transcends the Track

You know things are getting serious when McLaren rolls-out the ‘1’ suffix. The origin story is, of course, the very first road car McLaren ever built, the F1. Designed by visionary Formula 1 aerodynamicist and engineer Gordon Murray, it arrived in 1992 and rendered all other supercars obsolete. The tiny, lightweight F1 embraced carbon-fibre material technology, adopted a radical centre seat driving position with two passengers set back and either side and was powered by a 6.1-litre V12 engine from BMW that might as well have been passed down directly from the Gods. Game-changer? That doesn’t even come close to describing its impact, even if at the time sales didn’t come easy… The P1 was very different. Rather than a unique side project from the Formula 1 team, it was instead a statement piece for McLaren Automotive, a new road car division still in its infancy. It arrived in 2013 and was a wild-eyed showstopper. It traded the long-legged gait and supple suspension of the F1 for a weaponized hybrid system capable of delivering 903bhp and huge blue flames from its drainpipe exhaust. In Race mode, it lowered by 2-inches and its massive concave rear wing extended into the sky. The P1 was all about aerodynamic downforce, crazed acceleration and a snorting, angry soundtrack that mixed venomous twin-turbocharged V8 with the manic whirr of electric motors. Not so much a car as a force of nature. And now there’s this: The W1. It’s a true successor to the P1 with a similar brief and, on the face of it, it evolves rather than radically reinvents McLaren’s vision for the ultimate hypercar. This is not a criticism. How could it be when the result is this dramatic and has such staggering, other-worldly potential? The W1 has 1258bhp delivered to the rear wheels. It’s capable of 0-124 mph in 5.8-seconds, the quarter mile in 9.6-seconds at 167 mph and produces 2205lbs of downforce at 174 mph. The active aerodynamics – particularly a rear wing that extends way out beyond the rear of the car – are pure performance art and deliver massive aerodynamic efficiency. The result, aside from looking extremely cool, is that the W1 is McLaren’s fastest road car around a racetrack. Ever. Their benchmark circuit is the breath-taking Handling Track at the Nardo proving ground in southern Italy, where the W1 beats their previous benchmark, the flyweight McLaren Senna, by three seconds per lap. Or “a lifetime” as they call it in racing. Maybe two lifetimes! Core to the W1’s performance is the new ‘Aerocell’ carbon fibre tub. With integrated seats and a raised footwell to allow for inboard pushrod-operated front suspension – which in turn gives air a clean path to the huge underbody diffuser – it’s light, stiff, space efficient and has been instrumental in McLaren realising a full ground-effect concept. Just like last year’s F1 cars, which were the fastest ever made. There is also an active front wing and the aforementioned complex rear wing dubbed ‘Active Long Tail’. All of which is very admirable. But the ‘anhedral’ or gullwing doors and the fantastically shirnked-wrapped feel to the minimalist, highly-focussed interior are a pretty good side effect. The W1 feels special. Those fixed seats are perhaps a shade more upright than expected, and the driving position is less obviously racecar than, for example, the Aston Martin Valhalla or Ferrari F80. However, once you’ve adjusted the pedals (they move on a slider) and the delicate, slim-rimmed and alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, there’s an overwhelming sense of purpose. The cabin is so tightly tailored and imparts a sense of lightness and agility before you so much as start the all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which makes 916bhp all on its own and revs to 9200rpm. Reach up to a roof-mounted control panel to find the starter button. Maybe this fighter plane trope is a little corny, but somehow you feel thrilled rather than manipulated. The W1 has a sense of humour as well as all that motorsport-derived sophistication. There’s a short delay, but when the engine does fire it’s instant – as the high-powered hybrid system negates the need for an old-school starter motor. A sharp flare of revs tells you that this engine is hyper-responsive and angry. On some deep level your brain and body have been sent all the signals required to prepare for something new and intense. Ahead of us, an empty Mugello racetrack, so press and hold the blue button next to the red starter to select Race mode. The centre display graphic shows the W1’s transformation in real time as it lowers by 37mm at the front and 17mm at the rear whilst simultaneously undocking all that active aero goodness. Race mode is not road legal and is geo-locked. You can show your friends and neighbours the aero dance, but it won’t allow you to select a gear to actually drive unless you’re at a circuit. Incidentally, the rocker switches either side of the display binnacle allow further options now: Toggle up the Handling control on the left for Race+ (for F1-spec super smooth tracks) or stick to Race for gnarlier ones. On the right toggle select ‘GP’ for sustained performance over a stint or ‘Sprint’ to unleash all 1258bhp for a time attack. There’s also a DRS and Boost function on the steering wheel. But I guarantee you won’t have the mental capacity to use them… Exit the pitlane, pin the throttle and W1 takes maybe a millisecond or two to gather its might (the gearing stretches to around 60mph in first, nearly 100mph in second, primarily to aid traction), but then lunges at the first turn with incredible ferocity. It instantly feels light, almost like inertia is no longer a thing. McLaren really does prize lightweight engineering, and at 3084lbs (dry) the W1 has a 278lbs advantage over the Ferrari F80. Plus, Ferrari uses figures for cars fitted with every single carbon fibre option. In reality, the gap is probably wider still. The impression of agility and stunning control continues as the track is unravelled at startling pace. The electric motor mounted to the side of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is good for 342bhp and 324lb ft and it boosts any low rev lethargy the new flat-plane crank V8 might have (spoiler alert: It doesn’t appear to have any), so the W1 just feels massively, almost impossibly powerful at any revs. Even so, there’s real reward for wringing it out to 9200rpm and the power curve feels superheated but organic, too. In Race mode the steering – still hydraulically powered – has less assistance and it is noticeably heavier than other McLarens. However, that resistance is welcome as it gives you something to push against and imparts so much information about the front grip level. New Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres with a bigger front footprint than P1 or Senna really help. The front-end feels incredibly secure and the rear-axle follows with perfectly-aligned precision. The whole car feels super-stiff, completely locked into the surface and inspires confidence, but there’s an inherent agility and adjustability that means you’re quickly confident to push at its limits and really impose yourself on the chassis. It’s such a complex car but the driving experience is intuitive, and the driver feels a key contributor rather than just amazed (or terrified) observer, holding on for dear life. Every dynamic ingredient really is shockingly effective and yet has a subtlety and lightness of touch. From that delicious steering to the incredible brakes, the W1 just feels so mission-focussed, so hooked-up. Only the new 8-speed gearbox is a slightly disappointment. It’s fast and punchy, but after the scintillating energy of the Ferrari F80 ’box it feels competent rather than inspired. Other quibbles – it’s okay to quibble when the starting price is $2.1-million before tax and destination charge. Well, that new twin-turbocharged V8 sounds tightly wound and aggressive but if you have a P1 tucked in the garage you’ll miss the snorting, Darth Vader-style soundscape and all the drama that goes with it. Ferrari does this better, too. The F80 sounds deathly dull from the outside but is a riot of turbochargers, electric motors and all sorts of mechanical fury within the cockpit. Even so, the W1 is wildly entertaining on track, and the rear-drive configuration makes it more of a challenge and more satisfying than the F80 when chasing lap times or just sliding around for fun. In the Ferrari, you must second-guess what the front e-axle might do, whereas in the W1 it’s all on you. There are plenty of tools to help, including the ingenious Variable Drift Control, but somehow the W1 is more heroic. Or at least fools you into feeling more heroic – which is surely the point! On the road? Nimble, loaded with feel and sublime response. The ride is noticeably tougher than, say, a 750S but the control is ramped-up too, and with a bit more speed the whole car finds a delicious rhythm. Sport mode for the drivetrain brings some nice turbo whooshes and chirps, but the noise remains high-quality rather than extreme excitement. It is perhaps the one area the W1 feels just a little too tame. Of course, there’s nothing tame about the raw performance… which is genuinely shocking and literally hurts your neck muscles after a few hours. How McLaren has given the W1 such immense traction through just two driven wheels is beyond me. So, is it worthy of that ‘1’? I think so. Perhaps we won’t be talking about $25-million auction results for the W1 in 30 years from now, as we are for the F1. Perhaps it doesn’t quite have the amazing presence and jaw-dropping star quality of the simply gorgeous P1. But it is such an intense experience and the way it marries stunning track performance with delicate poise and entertainment on normal roads is something akin to magic. Maybe not ‘the one’ but definitely a searing, outrageous addition to McLaren’s fiercest family line. Just 399 W1’s will be built and they’re all sold. I’m not surprised at all.

IWC Schaffhausen And George Russell Debut Two New Watches

By Jordan Aquistapace – February 05, 2026

IWC And George Russell Debut Two New Watches

IWC Schaffhausen’s latest Pilot’s Watch collaboration with Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team driver George Russell closely follows a purpose-over-flair logic. The result is a pair of limited-edition ceramic watches that turn speed, precision, and personality into something wearable. One chronograph, one automatic, both debuted in black ceramic with a subtle but unmistakable hint of blue.The cases are crafted from black zirconium oxide ceramic, a material IWC has been refining since the 1980s, prized for its lightweight, scratch-resistant characteristics. The chronograph measures a robust 41.9mm and is powered by the watchmaker’s in-house 69380 calibre, while the automatic model measures 41mm and houses the 32112 calibre with an impressive 120-hour power reserve. Ceratanium crowns and pushers reinforce the tool-watch DNA, combining titanium’s lightness with ceramic-like toughness. On the back, titanium casebacks are engraved with Russell’s racing number, 63.The blue is where the watches really come alive. It’s the same signature shade featured on Russell’s racing helmet throughout much of his career, standing apart on the Formula 1 grid as something uniquely his. Against the matte black dials, the blue numerals, indices, and Super-LumiNova glow with clarity. It’s a visual reminder of what Russell brings to racing, composed under pressure, and fiercely competitive when the lights go out. Both watches are paired with matching blue rubber straps equipped with IWC’s EasX-CHANGE® system, making them easy to swap without tools. What makes this collaboration work is how naturally it fits within IWC’s Pilot’s Watch story. These are functional, legible tools shaped by real performance demands. Russell’s career trajectory, from his 2019 Formula One debut to multiple wins, including his 2025 Singapore Grand Prix victory, adds authenticity. These limited-edition IWC Pilot’s Watches feel like modern icons engineered for people who appreciate speed.

With its historical legacy as the first luxury watch to land on the surface of the moon, the OMEGA Speedmaster has grown to become one of the most recognized watches ever created. Even more recognized than the tale of the OMEGA Moonwatch is the astronaut who wore it on his wrist when first making contact, Neil Armstrong. Presenting the opportunity of a lifetime for avid watch collectors around the world, the specialists at RR Auction are proud to announce the sale of Neil Armstrong's OMEGA Speedmaster Professional 18k Gold during its 'Space Exploration' auction, which sold for a jaw-dropping $2.125 million. Offered at the gala honoring NASA's Apollo 11 crew, this rare Speedmaster was issued as "No. 17" and engraved with Armstrong's name and mission history. Unlike the standard steel Speedmaster Professional, this commemorative model features an 18K gold case, a burgundy bezel with the famous' dot over ninety,' and a solid gold dial with black onyx markers. Armstrong was known to wear the watch on special occasions, and it remains in remarkably original condition. The auction will take place live at the Royal Sonesta in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with bidding also available via phone. The "Tribute to Astronauts" series was reserved for NASA pioneers, with only 26 pieces produced for living and deceased astronauts. Armstrong's watch, in particular, stands apart from even the ultra-rare publicly available models, as it represents the very mission that cemented Omega's place in space exploration history. The Omega Speedmaster's legacy and role in lunar exploration are undeniable, and owning Neil Armstrong's personal watch is as close as one can get to owning a tangible piece of the Apollo 11 mission.

Tom Brady Spotted Wearing A $740K Jacob & Co. Tourbillon ...

The Super Bowl Champion returns to the game's biggest stage wearing a true showstopper. Even more distinguishable than its collection of luxury watches is Jacob & Co.'s long-standing friendships with the biggest names in sports, music, and entertainment, with more than three decades of history as the go-to jeweler. Whether it's designing a $7 million Billionaire watch for Jake Paul's fight against Mike Tyson or teaming up with Cristiano Ronaldo for an exclusive CR7 collection, it's clear that Jacob Arabo is a reigning champ in the watch world. Last night, the NYC-based watchmaker enjoyed some serious airtime on the NFL's biggest stage as Tom Brady wore a jaw-dropping Jacob & Co. watch while commentating during the 2025 Super Bowl. While all eyes were on the Philadelphia Eagles as they dominated the Kansas City Chiefs for their second Super Bowl title, Brady's exclusive Caviar Tourbillon also earned some screen time as it quickly went viral on social media. Jacob & Co.'s Caviar Tourbillon features a robust 47mm 18k rose gold case covered in 224 baguette-cut gems, all of which are hand-set by artisan watchmakers. In addition to a crown embedded with 16 more gems and a large rose-cut gem, the dial itself shows off a series of concentric rows using 130 more matching precious stones. Adding an extra touch of elegance to Tom Brady's Caviar Tourbillon, Jacob & Co. incorporated a luxurious brown alligator leather strap and matching 18k rose gold buckle. But Brady wasn't the only one wearing a Jacob & Co. watch last night. Philadelphia Eagle Saquon Barkley also wore an eye-catching Astronomia Solar as he walked into the stadium before the big game.
