The McLaren MP4-19 was a car that McLaren built for the 2004 Formula One season. It was driven by Kimi Räikkönen and David Coulthard.
The car was described as a "debugged version" of the never-raced MP4-18, but it was an unsuccessful car. For the French Grand Prix, McLaren updated the MP4-19 to a B-spec version.
Season review[]
David Coulthard failed to finish on the podium, and eventually went to leave McLaren in December 2004 and signed for Red Bull for the 2005 season.
Kimi Räikkönen snapped a single pole position of the season, and finished on the podium 4 times, including a victory at Belgium.
