==MP4-17D (2003)==
McLaren originally developed the McLaren MP4-18 for the 2003 season, but several problems during tests; crashing several times, engine cooldown issues and failing the FIA side impact crash tests twice, the MP4-18 never raced, and McLaren used their developed version of their car, the MP4-17D.
In the season, Kimi Räikkönen got consistent results, including his first victory at the 2003 Malaysian Grand Prix and two pole positions at Nürburgring and Indianapolis. However, he would lose out to Michael Schumacher in the final race of the season.
McLaren finished their 2003 season with another 3rd place in the Constructors' Championship with 142 points.
