Formula 1's chief technical officer Pat Symonds is to leave his position after seven years in the role, Motorsport.com has learned.
Symonds has been part of the F1 organisation since 2017, having worked as part of a team that shaped grand prix racing's technical regulations to improve the racing. As well as contributing to the roles for the new 2022 ground-effect era, he was also involved in the creation of the all-new cars that are coming for 2026.
It is unclear what Symonds plans to do next but, as he approaches his 71st birthday, it could be that he feels it is the perfect moment to move away from a day-to-day job.
