The chassis was used by Mika Häkkinen in winning the Drivers' Championship for the second time in a row, although the Constructors' Championship was won by Ferrari.
It was without doubt the fastest car of the season. Aerodynamics were even more advanced than the previous year's excellent MP4/13, while the Mercedes engine remained the most powerful on the grid. However serious reliability problems as well as errors by the drivers meant that the constructor's championship was won by Ferrari.
