| | Interview with Adrian Newey on his New MP4-15 |
 | | Adrian Newey, the technical director of the McLaren team and creative mainspring behind their new MP4-15 car, said on Thursday that he believes it has the potential to be more competitive and reliable than its highly successful predecessor, the MP4-14. |
 | | Speaking after the unveiling of the new MP4-15 at the Jerez circuit in southern Spain, Newey was as bashful as ever but admitted that after a troubled start to the 1999 season, when car reliability was a problem for McLaren, he and his technical team had concentrated on avoiding a similar experience. |
 | | Like most members of the team's senior management and drivers, Newey heaped praise on newly arrived driver Olivier Panis, of France, whose wealth of experience, he said, had given the team far more strength in depth and relieved David Coulthard and Mika Hakkinen of some of their previously intensive testing duties. |
