Marussia將如期參與首次季前測試

Marussia's 2013 car is on schedule to make the first pre-season test
according to team principal Graeme Lowdon.
據Marussia車隊負責人Graeme Lowdon表示,Marussia2013年的參賽車將照預定計畫如期參
加首次的季前測試.

Marussia used its 2011 car for the first tests of 2012, and the new MVR-02
only made its track debut in the final session at Barcelona before the first
race of the season in Australia.
Marussia使用其2011年的參賽車參與2012年的首次測試,而他們(當時)的新車MVR-02於
澳洲站開賽之前僅在Barcelona進行賽道上的首次亮相.

The team's plans were delayed by its failure to pass some of the mandatory
crash tests.
Marussia的計畫(當初)推遲的原因在於(他們的車)並未通過強制碰撞測試.

Lowdon is adamant, however, that Marussia is now well on schedule with the
MVR-03 thanks to the new technical structure put in place after the exit of
Nick Wirth.
然而, Lowdon堅稱由於新的技術組織取代了離職的Nick Wirth, Marussia的MVR-03能如期
參與測試.

The first test of 2013 takes place at Jerez on February 5.
F1的首次測試將於2月5日在Jerez舉行.

"It's on target at the moment, and in fact some bits are ahead," Lowdon told
AUTOSPORT. "We've got a high degree of confidence. We've got a totally
different structure now.
"現在已是箭在弦上的時刻,而且事實上某些部分還比預期快"Lowdon告訴AUTOSPORT說
"我們已經有相當大的把握,我們現在已經獲得截然不同的架構."

"This will be our first car that's truly our car in terms of the new people
involved. The car we've just finished with was a full CFD car when we hit the
first race."
"這將會是第一台真正屬於我們的車.我們這台透過(CAE模擬輔助)CFD來運算整車
空力性能的車剛經歷過首次道路測試(?)
."(這段我不大清楚如何翻 還請版上先進大大指正 感激不盡
另外 感謝kyphosis大跟Raikkonenn大對full CFD car意思的解釋)

Marussia finished in 11th position in this year's constructors' championship
despite holding 10th place following the Singapore Grand Prix.
Marussia在今年車隊冠軍排行以第十一名作收,儘管他們在新加坡站曾一度排到第十名.

Heartbreakingly for the team, however, Caterham re-took 10th in the final
race of the season in Brazil.
然而,令人心碎的是Caterham在巴西站重新奪回了(車隊冠軍排名)第十名

Despite losing out to its rival, Lowdon is convinced Marussia is a top 10
squad.
即使輸給了對手, Lowdon堅信Marussia是排名前10名的隊伍.

"I definitely think this is a top 10 team. We didn't have a top 10 car, and
that's something that takes time and money," he said.
"我堅決認為Marussia是排名前10名的隊伍.我們沒有排名前十名的車,而且這需要花費
相當的時間和金錢."Lowdon說.


"Look at Brazil, Timo's fastest stop was faster than all the stops McLaren
did. People don't notice that kind of thing, but we've now got a very, very
good team. A really good structure, very tight-knit and a very low cost base.
"看看巴西站, Timo最快的進站時間優於McLaren(在巴西站)的所有進站時間.人們不會把
它當成一回事,但是我們是一隻非常 非常好的隊伍.非常好的組織結構,非常緊密的組合
和低花費的本錢."

"If we have a car that's capable of quicker laptimes, which is the other
piece of the jigsaw - and everything I've seen is that next year's car is
going to be a really good car - then you can't write this team off.
"如果我們有一台能做出最快單圈的車,這是我們計畫版圖的一部分,而且所有我看到的跡象
顯示我們2013年的車會是一台好車,而之後你們不能忽略掉我們的存在."

"I'm perfectly happy to call this team a top 10 team even if the results
don't show it. I'm looking forward to Melbourne."
"即使最後排名結果不是這樣, 我極度高興的說Marussia是一個排名前十的隊伍.我非常
期待澳洲站的來臨."
