They’ll do whatever it takes to keep their Optimum Advantage
Elite sports teams like McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 all share one goal: staying on top. They’ll tell you it was dedication and hard work—and it was. But that’s not the full picture.
The best competitors—especially World Champions—don’t give away everything that gives them a competitive edge. And in the McLaren team’s case, they’ll do anything to keep it a secret.
But the truth always comes out...
Why McLaren hide the Optimum Advantage
Whey Protein
- Helps drivers recover from up to 5 g of lateral and longitudinal force experienced after every race.
- They get 24 g of high-quality protein per scoop, helping the team hit their daily protein goals.
- With whey protein isolate as the primary ingredient, McLaren can trust the world’s #1 selling whey protein powder to help them stay on top.
Creatine
- Supports drivers’ performance and muscle power during high-intensity training, helping them handle extreme braking forces.
- Helps drivers build muscle and neck strength, supporting stability and impact resistance on track
- Provides 3g of creatine monohydrate per serving, with smooth mixing and flavoured or unflavoured options.
