McLaren P1 Exhaust Upgrade for Unmatched Power and Sound
At P1 Motorsports, we specialize in delivering motorsport-grade exhaust systems for elite vehicles like the McLaren P1 — tailored to boost performance, enhance sound, and elevate your overall driving thrill. Our exhaust upgrades are built to match the DNA of this hybrid supercar, blending precision with purpose.
Even though the P1 was born from McLaren's track heritage, its stock exhaust system is designed with regulatory compromises in mind. Enthusiasts who crave a more visceral experience often turn to aftermarket solutions for key benefits:
The stock exhaust notes of the P1 are refined but can be underwhelming to some drivers. A custom exhaust system delivers an aggressive, raw, and high-pitched tone that reflects the car's 900+ horsepower capabilities. Whether you're cruising the streets or tearing down a track, the growl of a well-crafted exhaust makes a powerful impression.
P1 Motorsports offers titanium and Inconel exhaust options that are significantly lighter than OEM systems. Shedding weight, especially from a rear-mounted component, can improve handling and acceleration — even in a hypercar this advanced.
While the McLaren P1 already delivers eye-watering speed, a high-flow exhaust improves turbo spool, reduces backpressure, and unlocks hidden horsepower. Paired with a proper tune, gains in torque and throttle response are immediately noticeable.
A custom exhaust system isn't just about sound or power — it's also a visual upgrade. Burnt titanium tips, carbon surrounds, and bespoke outlet configurations allow owners to personalize their P1's rear profile with a race-inspired look.
At P1 Motorsports, we don't just install parts — we elevate performance. Our team is driven by a passion for motorsports engineering and an obsessive attention to detail. Every exhaust system we recommend or design for the McLaren P1 is based on real-world testing, track data, and customer feedback.
We have hands-on experience working with McLaren hypercars. From bespoke installations to custom tuning support, our technicians understand the unique dynamics and requirements of the P1 platform.
Whether you're in the U.S. or across the globe, we provide remote consultation, video inspections, and shipping options for P1 exhaust kits. And if you're located near one of our certified installation partners, you can expect white-glove service from start to finish.
We work with globally respected exhaust manufacturers such as Akrapovič, Ryft, Frequency Intelligent, and custom in-house systems — offering full compatibility, durability, and dyno-tested gains. Every product we carry is tested for the P1's hybrid platform to ensure safety, performance, and longevity.
When you choose P1 Motorsports for your exhaust upgrade, you're not just buying a part — you're investing in a performance transformation. Improved Acceleration : Quicker turbo spool and sharper throttle response.

McLaren Driver Addresses Rumored Cadillac F1 Move
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. McLaren driver Pato O'Ward spoke about his racing future amid several rumors regarding a move to the new Cadillac F1 team. O'Ward is one of the talented drivers in IndyCar, fighting for the title and racing at a high level. His performances have been good enough to get the Formula 1 paddock talking about the Mexican driver. O'Ward currently drives for Arrow McLaren, which is under the same McLaren Racing organisation as the McLaren F1 team. He has served as a test and reserve driver for the F1 team. Pato O'Ward of Mexico and McLaren prepares to drive in the garage during practice ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Mexico at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on October 25, 2024 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images Given all the speculation regarding the Cadillac race seats, O'Ward was asked by ESPN Mexico about the possibility of landing a spot with the team. "That one was pure smoke... pure social media," he told ESPN. "I think that rumor of Cadillac, of me going to Cadillac, was like the rumour of Fernando Alonso hanging out with Taylor Swift." The Alonso-Swift rumors were nothing other than pure speculation from fans on social media with no evidence of anything tangible, which means O'Ward won't be driving for Cadillac next season. O'Ward has done a Free Practice 1 outing each of the last three seasons with McLaren in Formula 1. He made two appearances in Abu Dhabi and one in Mexico last season. Recently, McLaren announced that O'Ward will participate in another FP1 session at Mexico this season. Before the 2024 Indy 500, O'Ward revealed his long-term racing plan. "IndyCar is my home, it has been my home, and it feels like home. But just like IndyCar felt a bit alien five years ago, that's what Formula One is to me now," O'Ward said, according to The Athletic. "I feel like I have a very special opportunity. I have an opportunity to win an Indy 500, to win an IndyCar championship. "And then maybe the doors open to go to Formula One, and I have a shot at maybe possibly winning a world championship, or just being in Formula One and then growing there. "That's all part of the process. But I feel like I'm in a very special position that I feel like a lot of people would kill to be in, and I want to take advantage of it." Despite the move not materializing, he remains secure in his role with Arrow McLaren. He currently sits in second place with 437 points this season for McLaren and two race wins to his name. The Mexican driver captured a shocking win in Toronto, Canada, which cuts rival Alex Palou's lead down to 30 points with plenty of driving left on the track. What were the rumors about Fernando Alonso and Taylor Swift? Last season, tabloid rumors circulated about Spanish driver Fernando Alonso potentially being in a relationship with Swift. However, there was no confirmation from either party. Swift proceeded to begin dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. For more F1 news, head on over to Newsweek Sports.

Why F1 team principal sackings now resemble football managers' revolving doors
Christian Horner's shock departure from Red Bull Racing last Wednesday ended the longest tenure of any Formula One team principal from the current field. Horner had been in charge of Red Bull's F1 operation for more than 20 years. Horner's fierce rival, Toto Wolff, who took charge of Mercedes 12 years ago, now claims the title of longest-tenured team principal. Advertisement But after Wolff, it's Andrea Stella, who has been in charge of McLaren's race operations for less than three years. In less than eight months, half of the grid has experienced a change in team principal, marking a significant change in F1's leadership landscape. The time allotted for results to be delivered is growing shorter and shorter, more akin to the managerial merry-go-round seen in football than a sport such as F1, where turning a team around is hardly the work of a moment. Yet time is not a plentiful currency in F1, especially in the current era where the performance gaps between teams are finer than ever and underperformance is felt all the more acutely. Unlike past decades, few seats atop the pit wall are guaranteed for long. At the start of 2020, F1's roster of 10 teams had, for the most part, long-serving and well-entrenched leaders heading up their teams. Wolff and Horner's long tenures were not outliers. Franz Tost had been at the helm of AlphaTauri (now Racing Bulls) since its debut in 2006. Claire Williams had been hands-on leading her family team on a day-to-day basis since 2013. Otmar Szafnauer (then Racing Point), Guenther Steiner (Haas) and Fred Vasseur (Sauber) were all years into those roles and a big part of the identities of all those teams. Of the 10 team principals (or equivalent role, looking after day-to-day operations) that led a squad into the delayed 2020 season, only one — Wolff — remains in the same position. The only other person who was in charge of a team in 2020 and still is today is Vasseur, who left Sauber at the end of 2022 to take over at Ferrari for the 2023 season. Mattia Binotto, who was Ferrari's team principal in 2020, remains in a senior F1 role as the CEO of Sauber amid its evolution into Audi for 2026. A notable shift in the make-up of F1's team principals has been toward those with a background in engineering. Red Bull's decision to replace Horner with Laurent Mekies is just the latest step in that trend. Of the 10 team principals in 2020, only two — Andreas Seidl and Binotto — came from something of an engineering background. Now, nine of them are, with Wolff the main exception. Vasseur, although a trained engineer, has not held any F1 engineering posts. Advertisement There has also been an uptick in the number of team principal changes throughout the grid. From 2018 to 2020, there was only one change per year, occurring at McLaren, Ferrari and Williams. Since then, there have been at least two changes in leadership per year, rocketing to six in 2022 and already reaching five in the first six and a half months of 2025. Team principals moving from one F1 squad to another do raise this figure a small amount, such as Szafnauer going from Aston Martin to Alpine ahead of 2022, or Mekies' current move from Racing Bulls to Red Bull. But teams rather than individuals have instigated the majority of changes in this period. Horner's exit was the end of an era for Red Bull. Having been appointed to oversee its debut season in 2005 after Red Bull purchased the ailing Jaguar team at the end of 2004, working under Horner is all that most at the Milton Keynes factory will likely have ever known. The departure of such a long-serving figurehead is one that a handful of other teams have also experienced in recent years. The Williams family's decision to sell its team to Dorilton Capital in the summer of 2020 led to Claire Williams stepping away from her role, while Tost's retirement at the end of 2023 brought about change at Racing Bulls. Over the past 15 years, F1 team principals have also largely moved away from boardroom involvement or shareholdings in the squad companies. They are now more typically direct employees. The times when Frank Williams or Ron Dennis would be calling the shots at Williams and McLaren, with their own money invested, are essentially a thing of the past. The exception — again — is Wolff, who owns one-third of Mercedes. As powerful and entrenched as Horner was at Red Bull, serving as a director of its F1 companies, he was always an employee. This meant that once the shareholders decided his time was up, they could opt to, as they framed it, release him from his operational duties. Advertisement The result is a paddock that now shuffles its team bosses with brisk precision — their futures dictated less by long-term stewardship than by near-term results. The main underlying desire behind changing an F1 team principal is to bring about performance improvement on the track. The old cliche that the stopwatch never lies rings true, particularly in Horner's case. Red Bull winning papered over the growing cracks at that team. Its on-track struggles throughout the year meant they became too great to ignore. Ferrari has long operated on this principle. Since the team last won a championship in 2008, it has gone through five team principals. Change has beeb implemented whenever it considered results unsatisfactory. Stefano Domenicali resigned early in 2014 after a disastrous start to the season, after five years in the role; Maurizio Arrivabene and Binotto both delivered wins, but never championships. Vasseur, in his third season, now faces pressure with Ferrari winless to date in 2025. But many teams recognize that a team principal needs time for their changes to take root. By far the most successful recent example of this is Stella, who, upon taking charge at McLaren in December 2022, made clear the team would struggle early in 2023 after missing its previous development targets. But once he was able to make changes and set the direction of the team, its results swung upwards — leading it to last year's constructors' title and looking bound for both championships in 2025. F1 team owners know this takes time, but they also lack exhaustive patience. Williams didn't see a positive change in direction under Jost Capito, prompting the team to bring in James Vowles for 2023 instead. His leadership has been heralded as a great success. Aston Martin's F1 CEO, Andy Cowell, took on team principal duties from Mike Krack in January as part of an internal restructuring amid that team's downturn in performance. The revolving door at Alpine has stemmed from not only changes at the top of its Renault parent company and shifting desires in what the French manufacturer wants from its F1 team, but also from Alpine's struggle to join F1's front-runners. It speaks to the ruthlessness that has always been part of F1, regardless of history. Steiner helped Gene Haas set up his eponymous F1 team in 2016, only to be informed on the phone while at the supermarket in 2023 that his services would no longer be required. Both parties felt they'd be better off without one another. Steiner has since established a bustling media career, while Haas enjoyed its best season for six years under his replacement, Ayao Komatsu, in 2024. Advertisement For all of the change that has taken place in the F1 team principal market over recent years, all 10 teams naturally hope they won't need to make another swap anytime soon. Some have made firm commitments to their existing bosses — rewarding the stability and success they have brought. Stella secured a new long-term McLaren contract at the end of last year, while Williams moved to lock in Vowles last month. Both are successfully building these teams in their visions. There are also early positive signs from Komatsu at Haas and Jonathan Wheatley at Sauber, with the latter only taking up his role in April after a long stint at Red Bull as sporting director, but already helping snare an unlikely podium with Nico Hülkenberg at Silverstone last time out. In both cases, there's plenty of time to build things up. The same will be true for incoming Alpine managing director Steve Nielsen, who will oversee the day-to-day running of the team and report to its executive advisor, Flavio Briatore. Now that Alpine is onto its sixth team principal (or equivalent) in five years, stability is greatly needed. In taking over at Red Bull, Mekies has a mighty job on his hands, given the length of Horner's tenure and the loyalty felt toward him from within that team. But there is a trust in place, with Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko writing in his column for Speed Week that Mekies was a 'natural fit' to take over. Again, time will be given. These things move in cycles. Similar to how F1's driver market exploded in 2024 after a dormant 2023, it may enter a period of calm and some semblance of security for the current team principals, with so many new figures now in charge. The downward swing after 2022's flurry of changes serves as proof that we may get less movement amongst this group in the near future. But as ever in F1, the need for results remains, especially with big car design rule changes beckoning for 2026 that could come to define where success goes in the years that follow. Some time will be afforded, of course, yet that can only buy so much patience from those at the very top. (Top photo of Christian Horner and Guenther Steiner:;)
