The Tyrrell 014 was a Formula One vehicle engineered by Maurice Philippe for Tyrrell Racing during the season. It was equipped with a turbocharged Renault EF4B V6 engine. Notably, Tyrrell omitted the number 013, deeming it unlucky.

Overview

Following the 012, which utilized a naturally aspirated Ford Cosworth DFY V8 engine, the 014 marked Tyrrell's transition to turbo power. Tyrrell was the final team to secure a turbocharged engine partnership. Development of the 014 faced delays due to financial constraints after their disqualification from the season, resulting in lost points and TV revenue. As a result, the team continued using the 012 with the Cosworth DFY throughout the initial half of 1985. The 014 made its first appearance at the 1985 French Grand Prix, accumulating only 3 points that year at the 1985 Australian Grand Prix with driver Ivan Capelli.

The car participated in the opening two rounds of the season before being succeeded by the Tyrrell 015.
