Manor has unveiled its updated livery after securing a new sponsorship deal ahead of the British Grand Prix.

The team has secured a deal with Flex Box, which manufacturers and supplies shipping containers. The new partnership has seen the addition of blue sidepods to the updated MR03B, with the new car receiving a number of new parts ahead to this weekend's race.

Team principal John Booth says the partnership is further evidence of the progress being made by Manor as it continues to expand.

“We are very pleased to welcome Flex Box to the Manor Marussia F1 Team," Booth said. "We are two very ambitious businesses, aspiring to dramatic growth on the international stage and making a major impact in our respective industries.

"This is our second partnership announcement in just a few weeks, so these are exciting times in our team’s development. It is very rewarding for us to be able to welcome likeminded brands to join us on that journey and assist them in achieving their own global objectives.”
