British motorsport publication Autosport revealed Friday that Steve Nielsen has left his position as sporting director at the Scuderia Toro Rosso Formula 1 team.
The vastly experienced Nielsen had been a member of the Red Bull junior F1 team since the start of 2013, when he joined after a short period at Caterham.
Nielsen started his F1 career in 1987 as part of the Lotus test team.
He then worked for Tyrrell, Benetton, Arrows, Renault and Lotus, mostly at the position of team manager or sporting manager.
Autosport added that the small team based in Faenza declined to disclose the reason for Steve Nielsen's exit.
We, at Auto123.com, know that several members have left the team since last September.
