ELLA LLOYD’s McLaren F1 Academy Gets Boost from New OneFlight Partnership

January 24, 2026

• ELLA LLOYD just got a serious upgrade to her development program as McLaren Racing locked in OneFlight International as their official private aviation partner. While the press release focuses on F1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri getting the logo treatment, this multi-year deal extends across all McLaren racing programs – including the F1 Academy where LLOYD is making her mark as a driver development member.
• The partnership brings “luxury activations” and premium travel solutions to McLaren’s entire racing ecosystem, which means LLOYD and the F1 Academy program get access to the same high-end support infrastructure as the main F1 team. It’s exactly the kind of investment that shows McLaren is serious about their pipeline development, not just paying lip service to women’s motorsport advancement.
• McLaren’s racing portfolio spans four series now – F1, IndyCar, F1 Academy, and sim racing – and this OneFlight backing covers the whole operation. For LLOYD, being part of a team structure that attracts premium partnerships like this isn’t just about the immediate benefits; it’s validation that her development track has the same corporate backing and professional standards as any other McLaren driver.
