Tech analysis: Midland F1 M16
For the first time, the outfit formerly known as Jordan has the resources to launch an all-new car with only few parts carried over from its predecessor, the EJ15. Craig Scarborough analyses Midland F1 Racing's M16
Midland F1 Racing have been in Formula One for over a year now, and although the team raced as Jordan Grand Prix in 2005, they were very much the same Midland team that was launched last month.
During the transition year, Jordan/Midland were struggling with a car that was undeveloped and under funded. Nevertheless, the car's reliability last season was unmatched and the team finished in the points in two races. And with cash coming from a myriad of sponsors and the Midland Group, the team have had the budget to be able to design an all-new car for 2006 - the M16.
