Patrick Harding, who has been working as Alex Albon's performance coach for the last six years, will take responsibility in 2025 for the development of the next generation of drivers dreaming of making it to Formula One.
Harding's new role of Academy Performance Lead will see him plot career pathways for the team's two F2 drivers, one driver in F3, as well as racers in the Formula Academy, FRECA, and karting championships.

Meanwhile the Formula One headlines have been dominated by news of Lewis Hamilton's impending move to Ferrari.
Mercedes F1 staff have been told that Hamilton is leaving for the Italian team, during a meeting at the team's Brackley HQ.

One of Hamilton's heroes is Michael Schumacher, who won five titles with Ferrari.
His brother, and former F1 driver Ralf, tells Sky Sports News it's natural to aspire to join the Italian giants:

He says Hamilton may have lost faith in Mercedes delivering him a winning car:
