McLaren revealed its new car for the 2026 Formula 1 season early this week.

Will the MCL40 prove quick enough for Lando Norris to retain his drivers’ championship title? Or will Oscar Piastri take it off him?

McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown would be happy with either outcome – but former F1 driver Mark Webber, now Piastri’s manager, surely has a different view.

Can you come up with the best caption for this picture of the two of them? Post your funniest suggestion in the comments below.

A selection of the best will feature in a future edition of the RaceFans Round-up.

  1. Weber – So all we need you to do is provide the car and he’ll drive it like he stole it. Shove the papaya where the sun don’t shine…

  2. Zak: I don’t care what you want Mark, we are just going to do it to your boy again this year!

    1. Multi 2-1 I guess?

  3. Zak – It smells like number 2 around here!

    1. Nice! Brutal but very funny.

      Weber – I’ll see your number 2 and raise you multi 21?

      1. #Slams drink bottle angrily on table#

    2. Multi-811 Zak? Multi-811.

    Not bad for a number two manager!

  5. “Remember how Oscar jumped ship to join us?
    Well say hello to his new Manager!”

  6. Mark my words, this year will be Oscar’s year.

  7. Zak: “I’ve got a joke for you: How may Australians does it take to win the World Drivers Championship?”

    Mark: “That’s not funny mate. Not funny at all.”

  8. It was at this moment that Zac decided to invite Mark to the Tuesday night poker game

  9. Mark turning papaya at Zak latest idea!

    A lot of funny ones!

  11. No, I can’t get you Vettel’s autograph!

  12. We’re thinking of changing Oscar’s driver number to 2 for this year…

    1. Best one I saw so far, considering webber’s face!

  13. Do you think Piastri may want to leave his Mark in F1?

  14. There are some rumors that Cadillac want … YOU !

  15. “That’s not the case Mark, Oscar is free to use anything Lando is done with”

  16. Mark looks antonished as Zak affirms papaya rules this year too.

    1. Also a good one, he certainly can’t have liked those rules!

  17. “Mark, you can threaten to take Piastri back to Alpine, but are you really ready to work with Horner again?”

  18. So anyway Mark the new car is going to be the MCL40 and you’ll never guess what the L stands for.

  19. If Oscar’s eating vegemite, then Lando has to as well. Papaya rules, mate.

  20. “So Seb is now Lando’s manager you say?!”

  21. Zak explains to Mark why Aussies are always #2 drivers.

  22. Mark, it’s my way or the papaya highway!

  23. Mark: “Serious mate, his contract said there’s no number 1”
    Zac: “But Mark, Lando is world champion”
    Mark: “Oscar will be tweeting about this soon”

  24. Mark: It’s pretty bold to be thinking of podiums when we don’t even know if the car is a sprinter or a slug.

  25. Mark: Don’t count your podiums before you’ve won some races.
