Williams have confirmed that former McLaren team manager Dave Redding will be joining the team later this season in the same role.
Williams announced in a statement, “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.”
The move sees the team’s current team manager Steve Nielsen relinquish his role at his request as explained by deputy team principal Claire Williams, “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.”
“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,” added Williams.
Redding was McLaren’s team manager since 2009, joining the team in 2000 for a second time after working for the Stewart Grand Prix team and Benetton.
