The young German driver had reached an agreement with MZ in November 2011 after having played even a "competition test" in Moto2 CEV at Jerez de la Frontera. This past February, Jonas felt a Honda Moto3 of MZ in Valencia, saltanto the next official test session at Jerez, the first inkling of the budget problems of the German formation.
