Formula 1 racing team to use Rockwell Collins technology

A Formula-1 racing team based in England plans to integrate aviation technology under a strategic agreement with Rockwell Collins.

The agreement between Rockwell Collins and Caterham F1 Team calls for collaboration to define aviation technology that the team can use in its quest for the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile Formula 1 World Championship, Rockwell Collins announced Friday, May 11.

The Rockwell Collins logo will appear on the Caterham F1 team car, in the pits and elsewhere.

The size and interests of the Formula 1 audience complement Rockwell Collins' international growth strategy to establish stronger local presence in key markets, according to Colin Mahoney, Rockwell Collins vice president, commercial systems marketing and sales.
