MW was trying to help Kovalainen

MW admitted that tried to help to Heikki Kovalainen to sign a contract with Marussia. The leader of the team McLaren said in an interview to the Finnish Turun Sanomat. . .

MW: "I was talking with Heikki on Tuesday and tried to help him to sign a contract with Marussia. In any case, let's hope that he will find a place in the Formula 1. Heikki deserves to play in the championship."



From 2011, the company McLaren Applied Technologies is the technical partner of the Marussia team, so it is not surprising that Whitmarsh tried to use this cooperation to help Kovalainen, who spent two years at McLaren. Previously regret that Heikki was left without a seat in Formula 1, was expressed by Lewis Hamilton and Christian Horner.
