Manor MRT05 Mercedes Speculation Thread

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

I can't find anything else on the subject, but given he is reliable source, I think it's good enough to add the date to the 2016 key threads: http://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewto ... =1&t=23689

It's mentioned in the tweet by Manor which was posted on the previous page of this topic. ;)

They also hired Pat Fry as engineering consultant!

Interesting! It seems to me they try to build up a competetive technical team. They start from the right place, I think. Howewer, do they find enough resources for season long development race?

According to their Facebook page, the new chassis will be called MRT05 instead of MRT01.
The 21 year old reigning DTM Champion and Mercedes-Benz Junior driver, from Sigmaringen in Germany, will pilot the all-new Manor Racing MRT05 race car when it hits the track for testing in Barcelona on 22 February. Pascal will take part in both pre-season tests ahead of his first Grand Prix in Melbourne.

I also don't think Manor understand the concept of an Unveiling.... It's not the same thing if we can see them put it together.... it's like when your dad gets you a new Bike and he puts it together in the living room.... but then you take it out and it sucks.....


So It begs the question again.... Why is Manor more American then the Americans....

If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows
