The McLaren MP4/15 was a Formula One car designed by Adrian Newey and used by the McLaren-Mercedes team in the 2000 Formula One World Championship. The car proved highly competitive and scored seven victories just like its predecessor the MP4/14, but was narrowly beaten to both the Drivers' and Constructors' championships by the Ferrari F1-2000.
