Ferrari said Byrne, who has been working on road car projects as a consultant, would provide "operational support" to the design team.

At the launch of this year's F1 car on 1 February, he told the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport that he was working "full steam ahead" on the 2014 car.

His presence does not change the normal Ferrari design structure and he has no official title.

Ferrari describe him as "an extra pair of hands and eyes, if you like".

Byrne is working as part of a team led by chief designer Nikolas Tombazis under technical director Pat Fry. The co-ordinator of the 2014 car under Tombazis is Italian Fabio Montecchi.

Wikipedia's scientific entries are usually correct, as they are all peer-reviewed. Stuff like this (who designed the FerrariF14T) is information typically entered by fans, and only referenced by others with similar interests. If you want to know the facts about a country, a historical figure/event, a scientific process or the size of the galaxy, you can rest assured that Wikipedia's information is solid.

If you want to know about a celebrity, it can be hit and miss. The best thing about Wikipedia is: if you see a mistake, you can go ahead and edit it. I do that. Since it has not occurred to anybody else, I'll go ahead and correct the Rory Byrne error.

Full disclosure: I occasionally donate to the Wikipedia foundation.

I take it if the F14t is indeed designed by Byrne, any victories and championships by Alonso and Räïkkönen will be put down as "yeah, in a Byrne designed rocketship"?
