What a joy it has given me to see Peter back again in a Formula One team, albeit as a reserve pilot Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team. The English first joined McLaren-Mercedes in 2003 and has worked closely with race teams and test for 7 seasons. Has also helped develop cars that have won in 29 Grands Prix, the most memorable, the 2008 season in which Lewis Hamilton won the drivers' championship. And as Formula 1 driver Pedro de la Rosa has competed in 84 Grands Prix in Arrows, Jaguar, McLaren-Mercedes and BMW-Sauber.
Pedro commented this morning: " Of all the teams in which I drove in Formula 1, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes is where I feel at home. I am very pleased to return to the team and to help improve the development of the MP4-26. " He added: "Lewis and Jenson have a working relationship positive and productive, so I will join them and help them in everything we can to get the most out of our car, our engineers and our technical resources McLaren Technology Centre. "
director of Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, Martin Whitmarsh has valued " mouth I know I speak for all my colleagues when I say we are delighted that Peter has decided to return to Vodafone McLaren Mercedes. He joins us with an even greater experience and motivation and attention to detail is as meticulous as ever. " He continued: "His signing adds considerable strength to our driver line. With two world champions such as Lewis and Jenson and two of the greatest pilots who are also experienced experts in the development of cars like Peter and Gary, the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team has a unique talent . "
Germano-British team will benefit significantly and will call back to the English rider's immense experience in addition to the expertise of Gary Paffett, Champion German Touring Car Championship 2005 (DTM) and the German Formula 3 2002. Gary fit this season commitment to a test driver for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes in the DTM Championship contention at the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz.
