McLaren to hire De La Rosa

By on

Following teams like Ferrari and Williams, who both have 2 permanent test drivers, McLaren had occasionally hired Pedro De La Rosa, the 32 year old spaniard who drove for Arrows and Jaguar for some tests. The team was however impressed by his feedback, that they decided to hire him permanently to further develop the MP4/17D and MP4/18. He will be joining Raikkonen, Coulthard and Wurz to do the job
