The new headquarters of the British team will bring together three buildings, one of them will house the design office, manufacturing, and marketing service. The other will be one of the main pieces and the wind tunnel. Finally, the last building will be the historic factory which will be redeveloped into a logistics base.
“Our new buildings not only reflect the extent of our determination to become a winning force in the world championship, but also the extent of our growth and development as an entity,” said Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman.
