MP4/18 hits the track!

McLaren long awaited contender for what remains of the 2003 season has finally hit the track! Today it ran its first laps with Alex Wurz behind the wheel at the Paul Ricard circuit in France.The session went troublefree, and times were off by 3 seconds of the fastest time set today by Kimi Raikkonen in the MP4/17D. The team is very satisfied with the first shakedown, and will be extensiely developing the new contender during the coming days.The next serious test is likely to be held by both Kimi and David. Alex Wurz on his behalf is eager to push the car further ;)
