Malaysian Grand Prix, Round 2 of the 2013 FIA Formula 1™ World Championship
22 March, 0900hrs Kuala Lumpur/0100hrs GMT
We are pleased to announce that we have concluded an agreement with a second Russian partner for the 2013 season. InstaForex, one of the world’s leading brokerage companies in the currency market, joins the team as an Official Supplier.
The InstaForex visual identity will appear prominently on our MR02 race car at this weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix and also at the Singapore Grand Prix which takes place later in the season.
InstaForex has an existing association with motorsport that began in 2011, when it partnered with the Loparis Team in the challenging Dakar Rally. An association with the Marussia F1 Team in the highly competitive environment of Formula 1 underpins one of the company’s core values of aspiring to the highest level of competition. InstaForex cites our drive to challenge the more established teams as being key to its desire to partner the team.
Andy Webb, CEO, Marussia F1 Team
“It is with great pleasure that we welcome InstaForex to the Marussia F1 Team - our second partnership with a major Russian company to be announced in as many weeks. As an Anglo-Russian team looking forward to the inaugural Russian Grand Prix in Sochi next season, we are thrilled that our clear progress over the winter and positive start to the new season are being met with such support and enthusiasm back ‘home’. This partnership and the access it affords to our Team is another way in which we can help to take Formula 1 to Russia and bring more of Russia to our sport.”
