Disassembling The Greatest F1 Car With The Men Who Made It - The 1988 Prost / Senna McLaren MP4/4

In this very special video, I bring you the actual car raced by Ayrton Senna at Brazil in 1988. The McLaren MP4/4 was campaigned by Senna and Alain Prost throughout the season where it achieved near total dominance - 15 out of 16 races were won by a McLaren that year.
