The McLaren team has signed a long-term partnership with Spanish insurance group Mutua Madrileña. The company follows Fernando Alonso from Renault to the Woking-based team.

Mutua Madrileña will become McLaren's Corporate Partner as of 1st January 2007. Mutua Madrileña is a mutual-profit insurance company based in Madrid, Spain.

"We are pleased to welcome Mutua Madrileña to our prestigious Partner portfolio," said Ron Dennis, Chairman and CEO of the McLaren Group. "Mutua Madrileña will be the first Spanish based company to join our partner group and, like two-times Formula 1 World Champion Fernando Alonso, they believe in the future of our team. Like McLaren, Mutua Madrileña has a desire to be the best and together we look forward to challenging for Championships."

Mutua Madrileña branding will be located on the front wing endplates of the team's 2007 challenger, the MP4-22, on the sleeve of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes drivers as well as their helmets. The Mutua Madrileña branding will be revealed for the first time at the presentation of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team in Valencia, Spain from 14th - 16th January 2007.
