In AUTOSPORT magazine this week: Credit where it's due for McLaren's MP4/4

Since 1988, when McLaren produced the most successful one-season Formula 1 car of all time, the MP4/4, both Gordon Murray and Steve Nichols have been credited with its success.

Murray suggested that his work with unfancied Brabham team inspired the MP4/4; Nichols argued that it was his evolution work at McLaren that deserved the accolades.

Gary Watkins asks the men in question, allied with witness testaments, to find out the truth behind the McLaren that dominated 1988 and delivers the verdict on who really designed McLaren's 4/4.

Discover the truth in this week's AUTOSPORT.
