A former Red Bull stalwart has been snapped up by Mercedes for the new Formula 1 season to work closely with Toto Wolff.
The Austrian was seen walking through the paddock on Friday morning with a familiar face – though she was wearing much less familiar attire. Jayne Poole is mostly associated with Red Bull colours as the team's former chief operating officer, but this weekend she was wearing a white shirt with a Mercedes badge.
Mercedes have confirmed that Poole will work as a senior adviser to the team. She is expected to work closely with team principal Wolff and will play a key role in helping Mercedes to adapt in the team's bid to get back to the top of the constructors' championship.
