Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Allianz Arena — The stadium hosted the 2012 Champions League Final, but the 2025 Champions League Final was not moved from 2023; the 2023 final was originally scheduled for Istanbul and moved to Atatürk Olympic Stadium, not Munich.

MP4/4 — The MP4/4 did not hold the record for highest percentage of laps led in a season; the 2002 Ferrari F2002 led 98.17% of laps, surpassing the MP4/4's 97.3%.

Papaya Orange — Bruce McLaren won the Can-Am drivers' championship in 1967 and 1969: Bruce McLaren did not win the Can-Am drivers' championship in 1967 (that was won by John Surtees in a Lola T70, with McLaren finishing 3rd) or 1969 (that was won by McLaren himself, but the c

Papaya Orange — The McLaren M6A won five of six races in the 1967 Can-Am season: The M6A actually won four of the six races in the 1967 Can-Am season (not five).

Honeycomb Logo — The MP4-22 was launched at Circuit de Valencia on 15 January 2007, but the first test session was on 16 January 2007, not 15 January.

Honeycomb Logo — The MP4-22 was not the first McLaren to use Bridgestone tyres since the MP4-16; the MP4-21 in 2006 also used Bridgestone tyres.

Carbon Monocoque — The MonoCage II tub in the 720S is not shared with the Senna, Speedtail, and Elva; the Senna uses a different carbon fibre monocoque (MonoCage III), the Speedtail uses its own unique monocoque, and the Elva uses a different structure as well.

Carbon Monocoque — The claim that the MonoCage II is 18 kg lighter than the P1's MonoCage is incorrect; the 720S's MonoCage II is actually 18 kg lighter than the McLaren 650S's carbon fibre tub, not the P1's.

MP4/6 — STATS lists engine as 'Honda (RA107E V10)', but the correct engine is the Honda RA121E V12

MP4/6 — STATS lists primary drivers as 'Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost', but the correct drivers for the MP4/6 in 1991 were Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger

MCL36 — The season listed in STATS is '2021 FIA Formula One World Championship', but the MCL36 competed in the 2022 season, not 2021.

MCL36 — The claim that the MCL36 was 'the only car from outside the top three teams to finish on the podium in the 2022 season' is incorrect; Alpine (Esteban Ocon at Monaco) and Alfa Romeo (Valtteri Bottas at Imola) also scored podiums in 2022.

McLaren P1 — The LORE section states the P1 was internally designated 'Mega Mac' with a 5 L V8 producing 799 hp and limited to 500 units; in reality, the P1's internal code was 'P12', it used a 3.8L twin-turbo V8, and production was limited to 375 units.
