HRT test in windtunnel Mercedes GP

Door Casper Bekking22 april 2011 · 12:37 uur1 min lezen

Het HRT F1 Team heeft één van de twee windtunnels van Mercedes GP gehuurd. De Duitse fabrikant gebruikt vanwege financiële redenen slechts één windkanaal voor de ontwikkeling van de MGP W02. De tweede, oudere, versie wordt verhuurd aan derden.

"De tweede windtunnel is voor klanten", verklaarde Mercedes GP-teambaas Ross Brawn. "Colin Kolles heeft, naast enkele andere activiteiten, enige tijd de tunnel gehuurd." Volgens Spaanse media heeft HRT ook gebruikgemaakt van de ontwerpruimten van het complex, waardoor de windtunnel optimaal benut kan worden.
