Brazil's Haberfield Signs with West
10 December 1998
Brazilian Mario Haberfeld announced this week his plans for the 1999 F-1 Junior season (former F-3000).
"I was invited by West Jr. and I have the chance of being part in the McLaren Driver Support Program" said a very happy Haberfeld. As result of his British F-3 Title, he was invited to make a test with West Competition (McLaren Jr. Team) and was the fastest of the tested A drivers.
Haberfeld will race alongside Nick Heidfeld, second in the 1998 F-3000 season and one of the favorites for the 1999 season.
