Marussia in Woking, McLaren in Cologne

Marussia’s technical collaboration with McLaren is continuing full speed ahead.

That is the claim of Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport, reporting that the Russian supercarmaker-owned team is already working 80 hours a week in the McLaren wind tunnel.

That, in part, is due to McLaren working extensively in the state-of-the-art Toyota wind tunnel in Cologne this year, while Marussia also has available for use the McLaren driver simulators.

And from Silverstone, Marussia will finally enter the era of the ’traffic light’ pitstop system, thanks to the equipment developed and formerly used by McLaren.
