The ultra-low chassis meant that the drivers had to lie almost flat in the car, which was something Alain Prost initially objected to.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the obvious handling benefits, the low line also provided aerodynamic advantages. The frontal area was reduced by 10% and air could flow more cleanly to the rear wing, greatly improving its efficiency. Murray&#8217;s only compromise concerned the ride-height, which was not quite as low as it could have been to get . This made the MP4\/4 more forgiving to drive and easier to setup.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mp4c.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-594540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mp4c.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"510\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mp4c.png 510w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mp4c-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mp4c-100x70.png 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mp4c-293x204.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The TAG\/Porsche V6 was replaced by the twin-turbo Honda V6, which had previously powered the Williams and Lotus teams. Even with the latest boost-restrictions, it was the most powerful engine on the grid. The V6 was mated to a three-shaft six-speed gearbox that was specifically developed for the MP4\/4 in conjuction with Weisman in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Brazilian rising star\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.grandprixhistory.org\/ayrton-senna.htm\">Ayrton Senna<\/a>\u00a0had moved with the Honda engines from Lotus to McLaren. His raw speed complemented the then two-time World Champion\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.grandprixhistory.org\/prost_bio.htm\">Alain Prost<\/a>. The French driver had earned the nickname &#8216;Le Professeur&#8217; for his consistent and smooth driving style. The two best drivers on the grid, Murray&#8217;s ultra-low chassis and the most powerful engine made for an unbeatable combination.<\/p>\n<p>In fifteen races during the season, the McLarens were unstoppable. The only blot on their record occured at the Italian Grand Prix when Senna ran into a back-marker and Prost was forced to retire due to engine problems. Senna had the edge with 13 pole positions and 8 victories over his teammate&#8217;s 7 wins when taking into account the 11 best results of the year. McLaren easily won the Constructor&#8217;s Championship with nearly three times as many points as runner-up Ferrari.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mp4d.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-594541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mp4d.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mp4d.png 740w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mp4d-300x204.png 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mp4d-100x68.png 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mp4d-293x200.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The remarkable MP4\/4 had to be retired at the end of the season as for 1989 turbocharged engines were banned.
