The defending Formula 1 Constructors’ Champions are off to a hot start on the track. Lando Norris began the season with a win at the Australian Grand Prix, and teammate Oscar Piastri continued the team’s good fortunes with a win at the Chinese Grand Prix. That gives McLaren three consecutive victories, dating back to Norris’ win in the 2024 season finale in Abu Dhabi.

Now, the team is announcing a first-of-its-kind partnership with Loop, as the Belgian company is becoming McLaren’s first-ever earplug partner.

McLaren X Loop

According to a press release, the new McLaren Formula 1 Team x Loop Switch 2 earplugs “combine precision engineering with sound innovation to enhance off-track performance and recovery.” The Loop Switch 2 earplugs will be used by the team members, and are “designed to give team members precise control over their sound environment.”

The Loop Switch 2 earplugs have three settings, ranging from quiet mode to engage mode.

“The partnership with Loop embodies our commitment to performance and giving our team every advantage. Both Loop Earplugs and McLaren Racing share a passion for precision design and this collaboration brings something truly unique to both our team and our fans,” said Matt Dennington, McLaren’s Co-Chief Commercial Officer.

McLaren fans can find the Loop Earplugs at both the team store as well as Loop’s website.
