McLaren’s 2015 car passes crash tests

Editor

The good news continues to roll in for McLaren with the team announcing that its new challenger has passed the mandatory FIA crash tests.

Just a day after revealing that double World Champion Fernando Alonso and 2009 Champ Jenson Button would lead their charge next year, the Woking squad revealed that their McLaren-Honda MP4-30 has been given the thumbs up after being put through a series of tests by the FIA.

McLaren are the first team to reveal that their car has received the green light after the mandatory process and it is quite a feather in their cap considering the first pre-season tests at Jerez is still seven weeks away.

It is also in sharp contrast to this season when the MP4-29 passed the tests a few days before the first test.
