Patricio O'Ward and Oliver Askew, who will spearhead McLaren's return to IndyCar next season, dropped by Woking on Tuesday where the pair took a moment to immerse itself in their team's US history.
On display in the reception area was Johnny Rutherford's 1974 Indy 500-winning M16C.
An encounter with such a prestigious and celebrated piece of McLaren heritage inspired O'Ward and Askew to kneel to the royal beast.
