Commenting on the announcement of Mission Control Online, Andrew Jenkinson co-founder of The vStream Group said, “This initiative is a dream for technology and F1 fans. McLaren is the gold standard in performance and innovation, and SAP is providing amazing technology to the McLaren Group.   This website really brings to the forefront the partnership between these two incredible companies.  The access that users are permitted to have to this level content has never been seen before in Formula 1.  As a motorsport fan, I am so excited to bring something like this to the market, as it will draw McLaren’s global fan base closer to the team.”
