It was confirmed on Monday (11/1/21), McLaren has signed an option to become one of Formula E's 12 teams for the 2022/23.
McLaren has been blocked from entering Formula E because its McLaren Applied division is the exclusive battery supplier to the series. However that contract is due to expire at the end of the 2021/22 Formula E season, meaning that the ban will be lifted.
It therefore gives McLaren the chance to join the series in two years' time, when the new Formula E Gen3 car comes into place.
It might be the right time for McLaren to jump into Formula E with their electric technology, with Audi and BMW about to leave the series at the end of the year. Its perfect timing for McLaren to step into Formula E.
