Force India cars will have engines designed and built by Mercedes-Benz for the 2009 Formula One season, marking the first time that the manufacturer will supply engines to a chassis constructor other than McLaren. “In a long term deal, Force India cars will be powered by engines designed and built by Mercedes-Benz HighPerformanceEngines,” Force India said in a statement on Monday, ending their collaboration with engine supplier Ferrari.
“McLaren will supply the Force India cars with McLaren Racing gearboxes and hydraulic systems and provide operational support to ensure Force India functions at its highest possible level,” the Force India statement said.
