LOWE LEAVES MERCEDES
Mercedes Executive Technical Director Paddy Lowe is now on gardening leave ahead of leaving the team. It’s expected he will move to Williams as part of the deal to secure Valtteri Bottas to replace Nico Rosberg.
Lowe has been a part of the Mercedes team for three years, and played a key role in the team’s domination in recent years.
Though Mercedes didn’t name a replacement for the outgoing technical chief – the “stable” organisation will run under its current Engineering, Performance, and Technology directors, and their chief operating officer – it’s expected James Allison will join the team from Ferrari after his own gardening leave.
“Paddy has played an important part in our success during the past three and a half years and we thank him for his contribution to this significant chapter in Mercedes’ motorsport history,” said Toto Wolff.
“Success in Formula 1 is not about single individual but about the strength in depth and technical capability of an organisation."
“We have the talent in place to continue our success of recent years and we plan to build upon it in 2017 and beyond.”
