In 2021, the MC元5M was driven by Norris and Daniel Ricciardo.
McLaren finished in third place in the World Constructors' Championship for the first time since 2012 and achieved podiums at the Austrian and Italian Grands Prix, while also claiming three fastest laps and setting a track record at the Red Bull Ring. The MC元5 made its début at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix after the start of the season was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The MC元5 represented a substantial development over its predecessor, the MC元4, featuring a new design that increased aerodynamic efficiency and was better optimized for Renault engines. Both variants of the car were considered competitive and the team's results improved considerably during the two seasons it was used in, with McLaren regularly the third-fastest team and significantly closer to the leading teams than had been the case since the turbo-hybrid era began in 2014. McLaren produced an upgraded version of the car, the McLaren MC元5M, for the 2021 championship as the team returned to using Mercedes engines. The car was originally intended to compete in the 2020 season only, but as the championship was heavily disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the lifespan of all 2020 cars was extended into 2021. The McLaren MC元5 is a Formula One car that was designed under the direction of James Key and constructed by McLaren to compete in the Formula One World Championship.
