Information
2008 Championship Winner.
Winner of 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix.
At 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix, Filipe Massa finished P1, doing all he could to win the Championship. At that time, Lewis Hamilton was at P6, which means Massa would be the Champion with tied points but more victories. But at the last corner, Timo Glock in the Toyota struggled on the wet track with his dry tyres. Hamilton passed him to get the one more point to turn the tide. Martin Brundle said the famous line: 'Is that Glock going slowly?' In the end, Massa hold the title for merely 30 seconds, and Hamilton won with only 1 point. Same gap as he lost the title in 2007.
This car hasn't been running since 2008 and was displayed at McLaren Techincal Centre. It was restored in 2022 by McLaren and is fully functional now.
