Last week, Williams announced a major coup – signing leaders from the Mercedes and Alpine Formula 1 squads, as well as McLaren’s Piers Thynne, who’ll join the Grove-based outfit in August.
Having started his career with a lengthy stint as an engineering project manager at transmission specialist Xtrac, Piers joined McLaren in the late 2000s in a similar gearbox-related capacity before ascending the team’s hierarchy.
