Williams have announced that Steve Nielsen will continue his role as sporting director this season, while working with new arrival Dave Redding before Redding takes on the full role in 2018. The idea behind it is that it will prompt a more peaceful transition of power.
Nielsen has been pushing for less travelling for himself from 2018 onwards and wants a more factory based role, deputy team principal of Williams Claire Williams confirmed.
She said: “From the start, our sporting manager, Steve Nielsen has always been clear about his desire to do less travelling following the end of the 2017 season and we fully understood and respected his request given he has been in travelling roles for over 30 years.
“Steve has done a fantastic job since joining the team in 2014, from restructuring the race team to the brilliant work in driving the turnaround of our pitstop performance.
“We can confirm that Dave Redding will join Williams as team manager later this year to work alongside Steve to ensure a seamless handover ahead of taking full responsibility for the race team in 2018.”
