3️⃣5️⃣ years ago today, Alain Prost won the 1988 Brazilian Grand Prix and sparked a staggering sequence of victories for McLaren in its most successful season of all time 💪 Get under the skin of the epic McLaren MP4/4 here 👇
Looking at the lineage of cars during that era, it's clear to see that McLaren, much like the rest of the field, had already taken note of Murray's low-line design and also started to recline its drivers in the cockpit.
Hercules Aerospace had been instrumental in McLaren's first full carbon fibre monocoque, introduced with the MP4/1, but with this car it would only supply the prepreg materials. The bathtub's quality improved over time but the process behind its construction always left it with a less than desirable fit and a slightly different colour to the rest of the monocoque.Not being led by one dominating factor, the MP4/4 had no stand-out features when it comes to the car's aerodynamics, an oddity when we consider its modern counterparts.
The RA168-E was designed as a result of the FIA's desire to reign in the turbocharged engines and restore some parity with their naturally aspirated brethren.
