The McLaren MP4/4 is the iconic Honda V6 turbo-powered F1 car built by McLaren for the 1988 grand prix season, driven by Ayrton Senna & Alain Prost.

Remarkably, the car won all but one race during 1988, & took McLarens then-new recruit Senna to his first Drivers World Championship after a season-long battle with team-mate Prost.

McLaren achieved an astonishing 10 one two finishes with the car, & suffered only two car-related retirements during the season.

The MP4/4 is still statistically the most dominant F1 car ever built. Ironically, the fact that McLaren was already an enormously successful & well-resourced team prior to 1988 has led to the assumption that producing another winning car in the form of the MP4/4 was simply business as usual.

The truth is rather different, with many challenges along the way, mistakes to resolve &, as ever in motor racing, an element of luck, all playing a part in the MP4/4s extraordinary success.
