  • The McLaren MP4/4 was the Formula One car raced by McLaren-Honda in the 1988 season. It was designed by Steve Nichols and Gordon Murray. Murray based the car on the lowline BT55 from 1986. It was driven by Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. It had a Honda turbo engine. The MP4/4 was one of the most dominant cars in F1 history, winning fifteen out of the sixteen races, Senna with eight and Prost had seven. Senna won the title, scoring 90 points (94 gross), three more than Prost, whose 87 came from 105 gross points, the first time a driver had scored over 100 points in a season (back then, only the first six scored points, with the winner scoring nine). The constructors' championship shows a more telling story. McLaren, with 199 points, scored only two points less than the entire field, and second-placed Ferrari, with 65, had less than a third of McLaren's total. The team broke their 1984 points record by 55.5 points. The record was surpassed in just 11 races, with both championships being held over 16 races. They set a record of ten one–two finishes, which is yet to be broken. Ferrari came closest in 2002 with nine. The one race that got away from McLaren was the Italian Grand Prix, where after Prost had earlier retired with an engine failure, Senna had a collision with Jean-Louis Schlesser and was unable to continue. Ferrari scored a one–two.
