MCR have signed Christopher Jones of England to drive the #18 Mercedes in the 2002 GPVWC series.

"This season will be the first driving for a GP3 racing league, but I wont let that get in my way of aiming for maximum possible results when the situation is right!" says Jones. "I wanna gain as much experience possible this season, but I wont be sitting back and watching! 100% all the way!"

MCR manager, James Menzies, is ecstatic to have Jones on board.

"Chris was impressive in testing with very little preparation time. We know he will be fast in the races, when we have more time to dedicate to setups," says Menzies.

In other team news, MCR is close to signing with another driver to round out the team. Menzies emphasizes that it'll be up to the drivers to determine who is number one and number two, promoting a healthy rivalry within the team.
