1994 McLaren MP4/9

This is a photograph I took on what was to be my last visit to the Donington Park Museum in September 2014.

It's the McLaren MP4/9 that was driven by Mika Häkkinen in the 1994 season, his team mate Martin Brundle driving the number 8 car. It was designed by Neil Oatley and was powered by a 3,499cc V10 Peugeot engine. The car was not particularly successful and didn't win any races, Mika Häkkinen getting a second place in Belgium and five third place finishes to end the season in fourth place in the World Drivers' Championship, while Martin Brundle had a second place in Monaco and four minor placings to finish  in seventh place in the Championship. McLaren ended the season in fourth place in the World Constructors' Championship.
