Veteran engineer Pat Symonds leaves his role as Formula 1’s chief technical officer to join the Andretti Cadillac F1 programme.
Veteran engineer Pat Symonds has left his role as Formula 1's chief technical officer to join the Andretti Cadillac F1 programme.
"Pat's keen understanding of aerodynamics, vehicle dynamics and F1 power units will be instrumental as we continue to build a competitive team. Symonds has been F1's chief technical officer since 2017, and was instrumental along with former managing director Ross Brawn in the creation of the latest technical regulations, which were introduced in 2022.
It had been agreed within F1 some time ago that Symonds would step down from his role once his work on the 2026 rules was complete. Symonds, along with then Renault team principal Flavio Briatore, was banned from the sport for five years for his involvement in the Singapore Grand Prix scandal of 2008, known as Crashgate.
