A 2002 McLaren MP4-17A is to be auctioned by RM Sotheby's at its Paris 2026 event. The chassis, one hardened by 12 grand prix starts, was driven by Kimi Raikkonen and David Coulthard to five podium finishes and a race win.
The car is estimated to fetch anywhere between €1,000,000 and €1,400,000. Designed under the leadership of the legendary Adrian Newey, the MP4-17 struggled during the start of the season, but eventually became capable of fighting with the dominant Ferrari F2002, and was able to reliably finish on the podium.
