2006 McLaren MP4-21

This is a photograph I took of one of the many McLaren F1 cars displayed at the Donington Park Museum in September 2014.

Its a 2006 McLaren MP4-21, a car designed by a team led by Adrian Newey and powered by a 2,398cc V8 Mercedes Benz FO108S engine. Three drivers were used that season, Kimi Räikkönen, who drove in all 18 races, Juan Pablo Montoya, who drove the car in the first 10, and Pedro de la Rosa who took over for the final 8 races of the season. Kimi Räikkönen managed two second place finishes, in Australia and Italy, and the other two driver took a second place each, Juan Pablo Montoya in Monaco and Pedro de la Rosa in Hungary. Kimi Räikkönen scored 65 points to finish in fifth place in the World Drivers' Championship whilst Juan Pablo Montoya was eighth with 26 points and Pedro de la Rosa was eleventh with 19 points, Fernando Alonso was World Champion in his Renault with 134 points. McLaren was third in the World Constructors' Championship behind Renault and Ferrari.
