The McLaren MP4-25 was a Formula One car made by McLaren for the 2010 Formula One season. The car was driven by Lewis Hamilton and defending world champion Jenson Button. The car was more competitive than its predecessor and won five races out of the nineteen races within the season. Three wins were by Hamilton, and two by Button.
The car was known for its F-Duct innovation which would be subsequently banned for following seasons. The device allowed greater driver personal access in operating the car to reduce drag. The device allowed drivers' to manipulate the rear wing down the straights and therefore increasing straight line speed.
The team finished second in the Constructors' Championship with 454 points.
