In 1981 McLaren merged with Ron Dennis ' Project Four Racing; Dennis took over as team principal and shortly

after organised a buyout of the original McLaren shareholders to take full control of the team. This began the

team's most successful era: with Porsche and Honda engines, Niki Lauda , Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna took

between them seven drivers' championships and McLaren six constructors' championships. The combination of

Prost and Senna was particularly dominant together they won all but one race in 1988 but later their rivalry

soured and Prost left for Ferrari . Fellow English team Williams offered the most consistent challenge during this

period, the two winning every constructors' title between 1984 and 1994 . However, by the mid-1990s Honda

had withdrawn from Formula One, Senna had moved to Williams and the team went three seasons without a

win. With Mercedes-Benz engines ,West sponsorship and former Williams designer Adrian Newey , further

championships came in 1998 and 1999 with driver Mika Hkkinen and during the 2000s the team were

consistent front-runners, driver Lewis Hamilton taking their latest title in 2008 . In 2009 Dennis retired as team

principal of McLaren handing the former role to longtime McLaren employee Martin Whitmarsh .

[edit ]Origins

Bruce McLaren founded McLaren and was team principal from 1966 until his death in 1970.

Bruce McLaren Motor Racing was founded in 1963 by New Zealander Bruce McLaren .[8]Bruce was

a works driver for the British Formula One team Cooper with whom he had won three Grands Prix and come

second in the 1960 world championship . Wanting to compete in the Australasian Tasman Series , Bruce

approached his employers, but when team owner Charles Cooper insisted on using 1.5 litre Formula One-

specification engines instead of the 2.5 litre motors permitted by the Tasman rules, Bruce decided to set up his

own team to run him and his prospective Formula One team-mate Timmy Mayer with custom-built Cooper

cars .[9] Bruce won the 1964 series , but Mayer was killed in practice for the final race, prompting his brother and

manager Teddy Mayer to become involved with the running of the team .[10][11] In 1964 and 1965 McLaren were

based in New Malden , then Feltham before settling on premises in Colnbrook . During this period Bruce drove

for his team in sports car races in the United Kingdom and North America and also entered the 1965 TasmanSeries with Phil Hill but didn't win it .[12] He continued to drive in Grands Prix for Cooper but judging that team's

form to be waning, decided to race his own cars in 1966 .[13]

The M7 car of 1968 gave McLaren their first Formula One wins. It is driven here b yBruce McLaren at the Nrburgring in

1969.

Bruce made the team's Grand Prix debut at the 1966 Monaco race (of the current Formula One teams

only Ferrari are olde r [14][nb 2]).[8] His race ended after nine laps due to a terminal oil leak .[16] The 1966 car was

the M2B designed by Robin Herd but the programme was hampered by a poor choice of engines: a 3.0 litreversion of Ford 's Indianapolis 500 engine and a Serenissima V8 were used, the latter scoring the team's first

point in Britain, but both were underpowered and unreliable .[13][16] For 1967 Bruce decided to use a British

Racing Motors (BRM) V12 engine , but due to delays with the engine, was forced initially to use a

modified Formula Two car called the M4B powered by a 2.1 litre BRM V8, later building a similar but slightly

larger car called the M5A for the V12 .[16] Neither car brought great success, the best result being a fourth

at Monaco .

McLaren's original logo was designed b yMichael Turner and featured a kiwi bird; a New Zealand icon .[17][18]

For 1968 , after driving McLaren's sole entry for the previous two years, Bruce was joined by 1967 champion

and fellow New Zealander Denny Hulme , who was already racing for McLaren in Can-Am .[19][20] That year's

new M7A car, Herd's final design for the team, was powered by Cosworth 's new and soon to be

ubiquitous DFV engin e [21][22] (the DFV would go on to be used by McLaren until 1983) and with it a major upturn

in form proceeded. Bruce won the Race of Champions at the Brands Hatch circuit and Hulme won

the International Trophy at Silverstone , both non-championship races ,[23] before Bruce took the team's first

championship win at the Belgian Grand Prix .[24] Hulme also won th e Italian and Canadian Grands Prix later in

the year, helping the team to second in the constructors' championship. Using an updated 'C' version on the

6/25

last race of the 1969 championship when Hulme won the Mexican Grand Prix . That year McLaren

experimented with four-wheel drive in the M9A but the car had only a single outing driven b yDerek Bell at

the British Grand Prix ; Bruce described driving it as like "trying to write your signature with somebody jogging

your elbow" .[26]

[edit ]1970s

1970 started with a second place each for Hulme and Bruce in the first two Grands Prix, but in June Bruce was

killed in a crash a tGoodwood while testing the new M8D Can-Am car .[25] After his death, Teddy Mayer took over

effective control of the team ;[11] Hulme continued with Dan Gurney and Peter Gethin partnering him. Gurney

won the first two Can-Am events at Mosport and St. Jovite and placed ninth in the third, but left the team mid-

season, and Gethin took over from there. 1971 began promisingly when Hulme led the opening round in South

Africa before retiring with broken suspension ,[27] but ultimately Hulme, Gethin (who left for BRM mid-seaso n[28])

and Jackie Oliver again failed to score a win. The 1972 season saw improvements though: Hulme won the

team's first Grand Prix for two-and-a-half years in South Africa and he and Peter Revson scored ten other

podiums, the team finishing third in the constructors' championship. McLaren gave Jody Scheckter his Formula

One debut at the final race at Watkins Glen .[28]

Emerson Fittipaldi won the 1974 drivers' championship with McLaren.

The McLaren M23 , designed by Gordon Coppuck, was the team's new car for the 1973 Formula One

season .[28] Sharing parts of the design of both McLaren's Formula One M19and Indianapolis M16 cars (itself

inspired by Lotus 's 72),[29] it was a mainstay for four years .[30] Hulme won with it in Sweden and Revson took

the only Grand Prix wins of his career in Britain and Canada . In 1974 Emerson Fittipaldi , world champion with

Lotus two years earlier, joined McLaren .[31] Hulme, in his final Formula One campaign ,[32] won

the Argentinian season-opener; Fittipaldi, with wins in Brazil, Belgium and Canada , took the drivers'championship. It was a close fight for Fittipaldi who secured the title with a fourth at the season-ending United

States Grand Prix , putting him three points ahead of Ferrari's Clay Regazzoni . With Hulme and multiple

motorcycle world champion Mike Hailwood he also sealed McLaren's first constructors'

championship. 1975 was a less successful year for the team: Fittipaldi was second in the championship

behind Niki Lauda . Hulme's replacemen tJochen Mass took his sole GP win in Spain .

7/25

At the end of 1975 Fittipaldi left to join his brother's Fittipaldi/Copersucar team .[31] With the top drivers already

signed to other teams, Mayer turned to James Hunt , a driver who biographer Gerald Donaldson reflected on as

having "a dubious reputation" .[33] In 1976 Lauda was again strong in his Ferrari ; at mid season he led the

championship with 56 points whilst Hunt had only 26 despite wins in Spain (a race from which he was initially

disqualified [34]) and France . But at the German Grand Prix Lauda crashed heavily, was nearly killed and missed

the next two races .[35] Hunt capitalised by winning four more Grands Prix giving him a three-point deficit going

into the finale i nJapan . Here it rained torentially, Lauda retired because of safety concerns and Hunt sealed the

drivers' championship by finishing third .[34] McLaren, though, lost the constructors' championship to Ferrari.

In 1977 the M23 was gradually replaced with the M26, the M23's final works outing being Gilles Villeneuve 's

Formula One debut with the team in a one-off appearance at the British Grand Prix .[36][37] Hunt won on three

occasions that year but the Lauda and Ferrari combination proved too strong, Hunt and McLaren managing just

fifth and third in the respective championships. From there, results continued to worsen. Lotus and Mario

Andretti took the 1978 titles with their 78 and 79 ground effect car s [38] and neither Hunt nor Mass'sreplacement Patrick Tambay were able to seriously challenge with the non ground effect M26 .[39] Hunt was

dropped at the end of 1978 in favour of Lotus's Ronnie Peterson , but when Peterson was killed by a crash at

the Italian Grand Prix , John Watson was signed instead .[40] 1979 saw no improvement; Coppuck's M28 design

was described by Mayer as "ghastly, a disaster" and "quite diabolical" and the M29 did little to change the

situation .[40] Tambay scored no points and Watson only 15 to place the team eighth at the end of the year.

[edit ]1980s

Five years after his first retirement, Lauda won his third title driving a McLaren MP4/2 .

Alain Prost , pictured here at the 1985 German Grand Prix , won three drivers' championships with McLaren.

8/25

Equipped with Honda engines and the driving strength of Prost and Ayrton Senna f or 1988 , McLaren dominated the season,

winning all but one race. Senna won his first world championship after a season-long battle with Prost.

The 1980s started much as the 1970s had ended: Alain Prost took over from Tamba y[41] but he and Watson

rarely scored points. Under increasing pressure since the previous year from principal sponsor Philip

Morris and their executive John Hogan, Mayer was coerced into merging McLaren with Ron Dennis 's ProjectFour Formula Two team, also sponsored by Philip Morris .[42][43] Dennis had designer John Barnard who,

inspired by the carbon-fibre rear wings of the BMW M1 race cars that Project Four was preparing, had ideas for

an innovative Formula One chassis constructed from carbon-fibre instead of conventional aluminium

alloy.[44] On their own they lacked the money to build it, but with investment that came with the merger it

became the McLaren MP4 (later called MP4/1) of 1981 , driven by Watson an d Andrea de Cesaris .[45][46] In the

MP4, Watson won the British Grand Prix and had three other podium finishes. Soon after the merger McLaren

moved from Colnbrook to a new base in Woking and whilst Dennis and Mayer initially shared the managing

directorship of the company, by 1982 Mayer had departed and his and Tyler Alexander's shareholdings had

been bought by the new owners .[47][48]

In the early 1980s, teams like Renault , Ferrari and Brabham were using 1.5 litre turbocharged engines in favour

of the 3.0 litre naturally aspirated engines that had been standard since 1966 .[22] Seeing the need for a turbo

engine of their own, in 1982 Dennis convinced Williams backer Techniques d'Avant Garde (TAG) to

fund Porsche -built, TAG-branded turbo engines made to Barnard's specifications; TAG's founder Mansour

Ojjeh would later become a McLaren shareholder. In the meantime, they continued with Cosworth engines as

old rival Lauda came out of retirement to drive alongside Watson in that year's 1B development of the

MP4.[45][49][50] They each won two races, Watson notably from 17th place on the grid in Detroit ,[45] and McLaren

were second in the constructors' title race. As part of a dispute with FISA, the sport's governing body, they

boycotted the San Marino Grand Prix .[51] 1983 was not so fruitful but Watson did win again in the United States,

this time from 22nd on the grid at Long Beach .[52]

Having been fired by Renault, Prost was once again at McLaren for 1984 .[53] Now using the TAG engines, the

team dominated, scoring 12 wins and two-and-a-half times as many contructors' points as nearest rival Ferrari.

In the drivers' championship, Lauda prevailed over Prost by half a point, the narrowest margin ever .[54] The

9/25

McLaren-TAGs were again strong in 1985 ; a third constructors' championship came their way whilst this time

Prost won the drivers' championship. In 1986 , the Williams team were resurgent with their Honda engine and

drivers Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet , whilst at McLaren, Lauda's replacement, 1982 champion Keke

Rosberg couldn't gel with the car. Williams took the constructors' championship, but for Prost, wins in San

Marino , Monaco and Austria combined with the fact that the Williams drivers were taking points from each other

meant that he retained a chance going into the last race, the Australian Grand Prix . There, a puncture for

Mansell and a precautionary pit stop for Piquet gave Prost the race win and his second title, making him the

first driver to win back-to-back championships since Jack Brabham in 1959 and 1960 .[55]In 1987 Barnard

departed for Ferrari to be replaced by Steve Nichols (who himself joined Ferrari in 1989) .[56][57][58] In the hands of

Prost and Stefan Johansson though, Nichols's MP4/3 and the TAG engine couldn't match the Williams-Honda.

For 1988 Honda switched their supply to McLaren and, encouraged by Prost, Dennis signed Ayrton Senna to

drive .[59] Despite regulations reducing the boost pressure and fuel capacity (and therefore, power) of the turbo

cars, Honda persisted with a turbocharged engine .[60] In the MP4/4 , Senna and Prost engaged in a season longbattle, winning 15 of the 16 races (at the other race at Monza , Senna had been leading comfortably but collided

with back-marker Jean-Louis Schlesser [61]). At the Portuguese Grand Prix , their relationship soured when

Senna squeezed Prost against the pit wall; Prost won but afterwards said, "It was dangerous. If he wants the

world championship that badly he can have it. "[62] Prost scored more points that year, but due to the fact that

only the best 11 results counted, it was Senna who took the title at the penultimate race in Japan .[63][64]

The next year, with turbos banned Honda supplied a new 3.5 L naturally aspirated V10 engine [65] and McLaren

again won both titles with the MP4/5 . Their drivers' relationship continued to deteriorate though, especially

when, at the San Marino Grand Prix Prost felt that Senna had reneged on an agreement not to pass each otherat the first corner .[66] Believing that Honda and Dennis were favouring Senna, Prost announced mid-season that

he would leave to drive at Ferrari the following year .[67] For the second year in succession, the drivers'

championship was decided at the Japanese Grand Prix , this time in Prost's favour after he and Senna collided

(Senna initially recovered and won the race but was later disqualified) .[68]
