Virgin Key Design staff - Who are they?

[Figure8]

Other than Nick Wirth are there any 'names' from the F1 fraternity working on the car?

Looking on this website http://forix.autosport.com/8w/6thgear/designers.html

Most Chassis have a few people working on them, Chief Designer and Senior and what not but for the Virgin cars only Wirth is listed, I can't believe this to be true (I assume they just like to keep quiet about who works for them) can anyone shed any light?

Take a deeper look into Wirth Research I think.

It seems a lot of Wirth staff are homegrown engineers from within the team before the F1 Project. The Virgin F1 deal seems to have brought in some new engineers, with a few from other teams. Electronics seem to have been drained from Renault, A lot of Design resource taken from the fallout from Brawn. A few significant others drawn from Red Bull and Ferrari.

Wow, a pro armchair aerodynamicist!

It was only a matter of time until someone said that


Thanks for the insight Scarbs. I like many was under the impression that most if not all were from Wirth research.
