The Carrera 30457 MP4-22 was fitted with the newest version 26740 decoder. The rear wheels were machined and trued to accept a set of Ortmann polyurethane tires, trued to the F1 axle. The original tires are in decent shape and are shipped with the car for sake of collectors.
The McLaren MP4-22 is a Formula One racing car that was constructed by the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team to compete in the 2007 Formula One World Championship. The car was revealed in testing at Circuit de Valencia in Spain on 15 January 2007 and was driven by double World Champion Fernando Alonso and debutant Lewis Hamilton.
The MP4-22 proved to be one of the most competitive cars of the season, with Alonso and Hamilton achieving four victories each. However, a fierce rivalry between the two drivers, combined with the 2007 Formula One espionage controversy, resulted in McLaren losing both championships to Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro.
