McLaren’s prestige in Formula 1 is built on legendary success. The team has won eight Constructor titles and produced some of the most distinguished World Champions to grace the sport.

That history wouldn’t exist without the genius of people like Neil Oatley. His wisdom and expertise has served F1 for nearly half a decade.

Neil first made a name for himself as a race engineer at Williams in the late 1970’s, playing a huge part in the team’s first Grand Prix victory and subsequent World Championships.

But it was as McLaren’s chief designer when Neil really certified his status as one of the most influential engineers of all time. From 1989 to 1999, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost and Mika Hakkinen all won World Championships in cars designed by Oatley.

In a fascinating conversation with Tom Clarkson, Neil relives some of the most iconic memories from his extraordinary career.

He reveals what it was like to work with some of the greatest drivers and to have a front-row seat for Senna and Prost’s fierce rivalry.

Plus, Neil tells Tom how the role of engineer and driver has evolved, how he’s still helping McLaren today, and much more.
