According to Neil Oatley, the success of the MP4-13 allowed West McLaren Mercedes “to push the design of the MP4-14 more that we would have been comfortable with the previous year. We had more time with the next car, and could afford to be a little more adventurous in some of its mechanical aspects.” None […]
