McLaren Mp4/13 (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The McLaren MP4/13 was a racing car that the McLaren Formula One team used during the 1998 Formula 1 season. The dominance of the MP4/13 was displayed in the opening race of the season, the 1998 Australian Grand Prix. Drivers Mika Hkkinen and David Coulthard outclassed the competition by leaving every competitor at least a lap behind. Adrian Newey's aerodynamic design was by far the most efficient one and Mercedes produced the most powerful engine of the season. McLaren's dominance continued on the second race of the season in Brazil,but from the next GP in Argentina Ferrari started closing the huge gap.However,MP4/13 retained its superiority on high-speed tracks like Hockenheim and Silverstone,while Ferrari's F300 was closer to Mclaren on more technical circuits. During the 1998 season, Coulthard's MP4/13 speed trapped the highest of all 1998 cars when he was clocked at 353 km/h at the old Hockenheim circuit.
