Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula One to partner with Lenovo

Lenovo notebook and desktop PCs will be used to provide the team’s mission-critical computing, both at the race track and at the team’s headquarters. Lenovo’s engineers and technology teams have already begun specifying the mobile wireless computing required by the race team, as well as the computing for the pit garage and pit wall battle stations. “Both Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and Lenovo are committed to the competitive advantages from exceptional engineering,” comments Martin Whitmarsh, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes CEO. “We are looking forward to the significant technology contribution that Lenovo will provide through its notebooks and desktop computer solutions.” “Vodafone McLaren Mercedes performs at the highest level in Formula One and integrates PC technology into every aspect of its car design, development and racing – as well as its business operations,” adds Deepak Advani, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Lenovo.
