Marussia’s MR01 has finally passed its final crash test, meaning it will be able to race at the season opener in Australia in under two weeks time.

The team had to delay the launch of its car, which hit the track for the first time on Monday, because it failed one of the 18 mandatory FIA tests.

The teams advisor Pat Symonds, explained that only minor alterations were needed to pass the final test.

“After a challenging few weeks for the team, we are pleased to have overcome the last hurdle of the final FIA-observed crash test, which we passed today,” Symonds confirmed. “The component in question actually passed an ‘unobserved’ crash test but has been performing inconsistently in the observed tests.

“The previous fail was only marginal so we needed to have a slightly more robust solution in place. A few minor adjustments to the original concept of the component was all that was required.

“We were all thrilled to see the new car out on track over the past two days and whilst we have a lot of catching up to do, we take heart from the fact that everything is back on a more positive trajectory. We now look forward to the challenge of the season-opener in Melbourne next weekend.”
