TheMcLaren MP4/15 was aFormula One car used by theMcLaren-Mercedes team in the2000 Formula One World Championship.
The chassis was designed byAdrian Newey,Steve Nichols,Neil Oatley andHenri Durand withMario Illien designing the bespokeIlmor engine. The car proved highly competitive and scored seven victories just like its predecessor theMP4/14, but was narrowly beaten to both the Drivers' and Constructors' championships by theFerrari F1-2000.
During the season, the team was deducted 10 constructors points at theAustrian Grand Prix after one of the FIA-mandated seals were found to be missing; no evidence of tampering was found.[3]
McLaren used 'West' logos, except at the British and French Grands Prix where it used the respective drivers' first name.
