Ayrton Senna's 1988 mclaren mp4/4
Ayrton Senna’s 1988 McLaren Honda MP4/4 V6 Turbo
Senna’s first year at McLaren and his first world championship title. This car was the last of the monster turbo breed of F1 car. Alan Prost would be Senna’s team mate in 1988 and between them they won all but one race of the year such was the strength of the car and talent of the drivers. The battle was epic and started a trend for Senna v Prost that would last to 1993.
The car itself looks so basic today and there was little in the way of driver safety in the upper neck/head area, to be standing in front of this example of F1 history is really something.
