McLaren Mercedes MP4/11A-04 - 1996
This is the McLaren Mercedes MP4/11A-04 that was driven by David Coultard in his debut season for the team in 1996, his team mate that year in the other car was Mika Hakkinen. The car has a 3 litre V10 engine with improved low-end torque, which the team focused upon as they struggled the previous season.
The car had a decent season overal with both drivers regularly in the points. Coultard had a good debut season for the team, with his best results coming at Monaco where he finished 2nd, the European GP where he secured a 3rd place finish, and Canada where he finished 4th.
McLaren not only had a decent driver line-up that gave constant feed-back regarding the car, they had Jan Magnusson as test driver and Alan Prost as technical consultant, which ultimately meant that, if any problems arose with the car they were quickly and effectively dealt with.
