(SOUNDBITE) (English) MIKA HAKKINEN: "It is important in a race car, its the car that gives you the feel of driving, it gives you the good feeling on the braking and through the corner. And the designers have done really good research and good work so I believe this car is going to be the right one." 8. HAKKINEN POSING WITH CAR 9. (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) DAVID COULTHARD SAYING: "They had the same wind tunnel, they had the same design facilitites that they had for the 13 so using the information they had from the 13, it was a considerable improvement over the 12 so there's every reason to expect the 14 to be a better car as well. If it is, then I thnk they'll put us exactly where we need to be, which is one of the leading cars in terms of pace, then its just down to reliability and the drivers getting the most out of the car." 10. PHOTOGRAPHER 11. MIKA HAKKINEN AND DAVID COULTHARD 12. (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) RON DENNIS SPEAKING WITH PICTURES OF THE CAR "The West McLaren Mercedes team enters the 1999 world championship cool, calm somewhat collected but the MP4 14 which is launched today carries with it some innovation, quite radical design and a lot of good ideas, and all of us at the company are looking forward to the Australian Grand Prix to just see how well we have done the job this year." 13. (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) NORBERT HAUG: "I must say compliments to the guys, I think it is a great nice looking car and if it is as fast as it looks, I think we should be in good shape. I really love the car, I really loved last year's but wehen I saw the MP4-14 the first time, i really must say that its really great and Adrian and the whole guys did a fantastic job." 14. (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) CAR DESIGNER ADRIAN NEWEY SAYING: "We know what we've think we've done over the winter but do all your calculations there's always an element of risk still when the car first runs based on the performance side and the reliability side so hope it works well." 15.
