1997 McLaren Mercedes MP4/12

This is one of the cars I photographed in the Donington Park Museum in September 2014.

It's a 1997 McLaren Mercedes MP4/12, with an Ilmor built Mercedes 2,997cc V10 engine. It was driven by Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard, Coulthard winning in Australia and Italy to finish in third place in the World Drivers' Championship while Häkkinen won the final race of the season, the European Grand Prix in Jerez, to end up in sixth place in the Championship. McLaren finished in fourth place in the World Constructors' Championship.
