The McLaren MP4/15 was the chassis with which McLaren-Mercedes competed in the 2000 Formula One season. The car proved highly competitive and scored seven victories. It was considered the fastest car of the season, but its reliablility proved to be a problem. As a result, McLaren lost both championships to Michael Schumacher in the Ferrari F1-2000.
