The McLaren Young Driver Development Programme, abbreviated My Diddy P, is an FIA-recognised young driver programme (YDP) run by the McLaren Group, which currently serves the North and South McLaren teams as well as Minardi. The My Diddy P usually signs contracts with drivers that lock them in to McLaren-dictated seats until the contract's end date (which is usually harshly long), though McLaren have the power to anull the contract early. It is notoriously strict and ofttimes considered an unfair system.
