RBR look for new structure chief

Post

According to autosport

http://www.autosport.com/directory/appointments.html

RedBull are looking for a new head of structure analisys department, which is one of the key roles if you want to build flexi stuff.
Do you think the guy currently holding this position has been hired by another team, or do you think it whas been moved into another role inside rbr?

If this person is behind the flexy wing and flexy nose then i suspect they have been retained by RBR, too valuable.

I think other teams have cottoned on to the RBR flexing wing, especially Mercedes and Mclaren.
More could have been done.

Also a key role if you want to build non-flexy stuff.

True although most of the teams have been doing that for years...

The point is that this is a pretty important role in any team. I guess the speculation will be if this is a natural succession, or if the existing RB person was poached by another team.
