Well, I just delivered the hospitality suite for the Vodafone Mclaren team to LFMN. The rest of the team will follow next week as they are stopping in France for testing at the Paul Ricard Short circuit on the way over to the Côte d’Azur.
Some facts bout this years car, the Mclaren MP4-22....
It goes from Zero to 160kph and back to Zero again faster than most Hot Hatch sports cars. (EDIT take to get to 100kph!) (6.6 Seconds)
It Can decelerate from in excess of 250kph to a stop in 3.5 Seconds. (With forces on the driver in excess of 5g)
There are over 11,000 individual components that make up each car.
Can replace all four wheels and refuel over 80 liters of Mobil Unleaded petrol in less than 7 seconds. (it takes 29 people to perform this)
Will perform almost 4,000 gear changes per car during the race in the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix.
Will transfer in excess of 30 Tonnes of equipment to the Grad Prix including 3 complete race cars weighing only 600kg each!
Will complete almost 55,000 km of testing during 2007.
Will Win both the constructors and the drivers championship!
Good luck Lewis!
On a side note, I would just like to congratulate DC on his 5th place finish for RBR and the Honda team for getting both cars to the end of the race albeit a long way back! Now Massa has the edge over Kimi, I think this will be a very interesting season at Ferrari!
