Page 1 of 1 After a very disapointing start of the 2004 season with the MP4/19, McLaren quickly started work on a revised version to bring the team up to pace again. First launched seven races into the season, the MP4/19B features a slightly revised rear bodywork and sidepods. McLaren hope to enter the MP4/19B as soon as possible and win a race before the end of the season.
At its testing debut at a rainy Silverstone track, Kimi Raikkonen recorded a second fastest time, behind Fernando Alonso in a Renault. Halfway through the season at the French Grand Prix in Magny Cours, the revise MP 4/19 made its debut. Both drivers finished in the points. In the following race on the team's home track Silverstone, Raikkonen qualified the 'B' on pole and converted that to a second place at the end of the race, the team's first podium finish of the season.
