Their first new car in 2 years, Manor are confident the MRTo5 is a big step forward in performance. Technical Director, John McQuilliam, has described it as a ‘dream package’.
With the Mercedes engine this year, Manor are confident that they can be fighting in the midfield, instead of falling behind at the back:
It is a contender. We really believe that. The design team have focused almost exclusively on it since the middle of last season and it’s just a whole different ball game to any of its predecessors. We haven’t left any performance on the table and right now I can say there’s not a single part of the car we’d have designed differently
Their drivers for this season are both rookies, Pascal Wehrlein and Rio Haryanto, and hope to have a strong debut season.
