The news follows Honda’s announcement that Ferrari’s former technical director Ross Brawn, who had been on a years’ sabbatical, is to join the Japanese squad as team principal.

In other adjustments at Ferrari, technical director Mario Almondo will become operations director for the Italian squad. Aldo Costa, who had been responsible for the team’s chassis department, will take up Almondo’s previous role, while Gilles Simon was named engine director.
