I'd say there was no direct impact as it was in 1998 that Daimler-Benz bought the 40% share of McLaren, which it now has sold back to other McLaren share holders. And 1996-97 MB had their own CLK-GTR project going on and they used the 11R as a test mule for that. So I'd say the F1 GTR had the impact on MB, not the other way.
