We are pleased to announce that we have extended our existing relationship with Armin Strom, who will continue as the Team’s official timekeeper until the end of the season.
Armin Strom, a Swiss Watch Manufacturer of highly technical and modern timepieces, will ensure our Team is accurate to a fraction of a second with its timekeeping both on and off the track throughout the 2013 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season. Armin Strom will also benefit from a continued presence of their logo on the lower side-pod of the MR02 race car and the Armin Strom logo will be present on the turning vanes and the nose cone. Armin Strom will also feature throughout our trackside environment at the 19 Grands Prix on the Formula 1 calendar this season.
Andy Webb, Chief Executive Officer, Marussia F1 Team
“We have started the 2013 season on a positive footing with three extremely productive pre-season tests with the MR02 and several encouraging commercial announcements. I am pleased to be able to add to that tally with the renewal of one of our most enduring partners, Armin Strom, who have been with the Team since 2010. We look forward to working with Armin Strom on more exciting activations during what looks set to be a promising season for the Marussia F1 Team.”
Serge Michel, Owner, Armin Strom
“We strongly support the Marussia F1 Team’s very youthful driver line-up and the strengths of the Team as a whole, and therefore are very pleased to announce Armin Strom’s renewed partnership for 2013. The advanced technical correlations in making the MR02 and Armin Strom watches only strengthens our commitment in producing highly advanced timepieces. We look forward to a further exciting racing season with the Marussia F1 Team and plenty of unforgettable experiences.”
