    Hey,

    Lifted from Autosport;

    I guess it must be legal, but I didn't think they were allowed to do this kind of thing any more. Seems that, eg, HRT would benefit enormously from the use of someone (anyone!) else's sim.....

    Cheers,
    Ian

    I'm pretty sure Virgin have rented simulator and wind tunnel time from McLaren. And Force India got consultancy from McLaren on improving their operations a few years ago. Should be ok I think.

    I suppose if they started beating them on a regular basis, the services may be withdrawn.

    Very true - Good points. I guess there's quite a lot of 'technology transfer' these days. I think my hackles got raised because of the common owner - So what, really......

    :D

    Probably ok. But then again, where is Red Bull, where is HRT? Plus, they're just sister teams.
