The Team: A Season with McLaren

From the production team behind "The Power & The Glory," a new seven-part series dives into a single year's journey of the McLaren Formula One racing team. Cameras captured McLaren throughout its season, with team boss Ron Dennis being closely observed as well.

A new seven-part series on the 1993 season of the McLaren Formula One racing team comes from the production team behind "The Power and The Glory." Cameras followed McLaren's team during both triumphs and setbacks, including the resignation of number one driver Ayrton Senna who complained his car wasn't competitive. It was also a year in which McLaren signed American IndyCar champion Michael Andretti to drive as their second driver - an unsuccessful gamble.
