McLaren have announced that two more drivers are joining their development programme – Alex Dunne and Martinius Stenshorne. Both currently race in Formula 3, Dunne for MP Motorsport and Stenshorne for Hitech Pulse-Eight.
Dunne impressed McLaren when he won the 2022 British F4 Championship with Hitech Grand Prix. The 18-year-old from Ireland also put in an eye-catching performance in Bahrain earlier this year, securing his first F3 points.
Norwegian Stenshorne comes from a rallying background and was a prolific karter in his junior days, and has already tasted victory in F3 with a Sprint race win in Australia.
