From press release
Williams F1 Team has expanded its engineering staff as part of its on-going work to strengthen the technical leadership structure at Williams ahead of the 2014 Formula season.
As part of this process, Jakob Andreasen has joined as Head of Engineering Operations and will work under Chief Technical Officer Pat Symonds (photo).
Previously at Sahara Force India, Andreasen's focus will be on better integrating trackside operations with the continued design and development of the Williams-Mercedes FW36 at the factory.
Andreasen is supported by two further appointments in Craig Wilson, Head of Vehicle Dynamics, and Rod Nelson, Chief Test & Support Engineer.
Wilson returns to Williams from Mercedes to strengthen the engineering team in applying vehicle modelling and analysis to help bring further improvements to on-track performance.
Nelson joins from the Lotus F1 Team to head up the team's testing programme including leading the group at the factory that provide support and analysis from Grove over all race events.
Reporting directly to Andreasen, Max Nightingale is promoted to Head of Vehicle Science to ensure a focus on performance within the new structure which will improve the connection between race operations and on-going development work.
