The Sahara Force India Formula One Team have added a new technical partner to their ever-growing portfolio with announcement today that they signed an agreement with Univa, a leading provider of automation data management software. The Silverstone based outfit will make use of the company's primary product 'Grid Engine'.
Univa is the second partner to join Sahara Force India in the last month as Smirnoff signed a major deal with the team. Speaking about the new deal Sahara Force India's Chief Operating Officer Otmar Szafnauer said:
'It’s fantastic to begin a technical partnership with Univa and benefit from their knowledge of data management software. Almost every area of the team relies on simulation tools to help develop the car and it is here that our relationship with Univa will be of great value. We welcome them to the team and look forward to shared success going forward.'
Univa's president and chief executive officer Gary Tyreman stated:
'Formula One epitomises leading-edge design and awe-inspiring innovations where mankind leverages high-performance technologies to excel and achieve what was once considered impossible. Sahara Force India uses Grid Engine software to support the tight timelines of their engineering design simulations and continual efforts to improve racing performance. Univa is proud to become an official technical partner and we look forward to celebrating a successful first weekend together at the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix.'
Force India head to Montreal this weekend having scored point's in every race in 2014 including a superb third place finish for Sergio Perez in Bahrain. Canada happens to be where the Mexican secured a podium for the Sauber F1 Team in 2012. The team are currently fourth in the Constructors championship on 67 point's just eleven behind Ferrari and 15 ahead of McLaren and the Williams Martini Racing Team.
