Watch McLaren Mercedes live online via the live streaming formula one feeds available to you with your membership at www.watchlivef1.com, the premier site for watching live f1 racing online. McLaren Mercedes have been one of the most successful racing teams in formula one racing and are coming off of an exhilarating 2007 campaign which saw them finish runners up to the champions Ferrari. The team is based in the United Kingdom and they have been racing since 1966.

McLaren Mercedes have packed a lot of victories into their short history. Since their debut at the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix they have posted 8 constructors' championship wins to go with 11 drivers championships. Their heyday was the period between 1984 and 1998 when they won 7 constructors' wins and 9 drivers' championships. Among their top drivers over the years we find the likes of Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Keke Rosberg, Michael Andretti, Stefan Johansson, Mika Hakkinen, Kimi Raikkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya. Thanks to the performances of these drivers McLaren built their successful runs in the mid 1980's to late 1990's. Following a lull earlier this decade, the team has come back to prominence thanks to impressive cars and some very exciting up and coming drivers.

The 2007 season saw some major changes in the team as both of their top drivers were replaced by Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton. This gave McLaren Mercedes one of the most dynamic young set of drivers every assembled. At www.watchlivef1.com, you'll be able to watch Alonso, Hamilton and the rest of the top drivers in formula one live online via their live racing streams. This was all in addition to a new car in the MP4-22 and a new sponsor in Vodafone. In the end the results were mixed. While Alonso and Hamilton were certainly electrifying, they were disappointed in the end as they not only lost the constructors' championship to Ferrari as well as Hamilton and Lewis finishing 2^nd and 3^rd respectively in the drivers' race.

McLaren Mercedes are looking to 2008 as their year. While there has been some change to the team there is a lot more stability relative to where things stood a year ago. Lewis Hamilton is back as the top driver with Heikki Kovalainen of Finland as his number two. Veteran Pedro de la Rosa has come on as the test driver. Ron Dennis remains team principal while Paddy Lowe remains engineering director. The chassis is McLaren MP4-23 and the engine will be Mercedes-Benz FO 108V while Bridgestone will provide the tires. If the engine can hold up and Hamilton performs to expectations, there should be no reason why McLaren Mercedes should not be in the title fight on both fronts until the end of the racing season.

Given how close the race for the title was last year, this season promises to be one for the ages. Don't miss a single minute and log on to www.watchlivef1.com today to watch formula one live online via their streaming racing feeds.
