McLaren Mercedes MP4-25

The McLaren Mercedes MP4-25 is a Formula One race car used by the Vodafone McLaren-Mercedes team in the 2010 Formula One season.

Overview
The McLaren MP4-25 was officially unveiled at title sponsor Vodafone's headquarters in Newbury, Berkshire, United Kingdom on 29 January 2010. The chief designer of the car was Paddy Lowe. The design uses a small "snorkel" air scoop mounted in front of the driver that channels air through a duct in the cockpit and towards the rear of the car. Changes in the pressure in the duct, in combination with small slots on the rear wing, causes the wing to enter a stalled state at high speed, reducing aerodynamic drag, and allowing the car as much as an extra 6 mph (9.7 km/h) on straights. The effect is controlled by the driver covering up a small hole in the cockpit with his left leg. Known internally as the RW80 it is widely called the "F-Duct" system either due to the shape of the air intake or the fact that it is beside the F of the Vodafone logo. Another term for the system is switchable rear wing (SRW). It was mildly controversial, with the Red Bull Racing team complaining to the FIA about the legality. The car was however cleared inspections prior to the season opener at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

The car was driven by world champions Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, which the former was transferred from Brawn GP at that time. The car was overall competitive, with 1 pole position set (Hamilton at the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix), 16 podium finishes (Button 7; Hamilton 9), 6 fastest laps set (Button 1; Hamilton 5) and 5 race victories (Button 2; Hamilton 3). The team finished second overall in the season, with 454 points behind the constructors' champion Red Bull Racing (498 points). Hamilton scored 240 points overall and placed 4th, 16 points behind the drivers' champion Sebastian Vettel while Button was classified 5th with 214 points.
