Former engineering director Paddy Lowe will from now on serve as the team's new technical director while his role will be taken by Tim Goss. According to Autosport, the two will continue to collaborate with Neil Oatley, director of design and development programmes.
"It's great for Neil and me to be joined by Tim as another director on the technical side. With the three of us, we'll not only be able to more efficiently spread our workload, but, through Tim & me, we'll also share race attendance," Lowe commented on his new role.
"It's very important to have senior technical management at the racetrack, because that's where you score the points, but, equally, if you spend all your time away then you risk overlooking some of the hard work that happens back at the factory."
Tim Goss on the other hand served as chief engineer on the MP4-25 that competed in the 2010 season of Formula 1.
"I used to be jointly responsible for the direction of our cars with Pat Fry," said Goss. "Now I've taken on both roles – but there's obviously been some shifting of responsibilities within the team as, clearly, I can't do the work of two people. As director of engineering, my role will be to co-ordinate a small team of project engineers who are responsible for the specification, design and development of our cars."
