The last time …

Written By John Morrison

The last time F1 Grand Prix were this boring/dominated as it is today, was with Prost & Senna's Marlboro McLaren Honda MP4/4, winning 15 of 16 in the F1 World Championship in 1988, very much due to our man Steve Nichols ... here, with his MP4/4 & N1a ...

But Steve Nichols says … “am a firm believer that the racing cars of the 1960s are among some of the most elegant cars ever created”.

“Having headed the design team at McLaren during arguably their most successful period ever, I’m a McLaren man through and through. With the Nichols N1A I’ve gone back to the very first McLaren for inspiration, combining lots of classic lines with modern engineering for a car of extraordinary performance and presence.”

“Compare the elegant simplicity of the MP4/4 with the visual presence of the Nichols N1A and it’s not hard to see the hand of the same designer at work.”
