Further to reports elsewhere, Pitpass can confirm that according to its sources, at a time when Honda is welcoming a number of new technical signings, including Loic Bigois from Williams, John Owen (BMW) and Peter Coysh (McLaren), a number of current employees are leaving the team.
According to Pitpass' sources the departures include Composite Production Manager Paul Field, who we understand is heading to Red Bull. It is almost certain that this will lead to Operation Manager Gary Savage joining him, though this has not yet been confirmed.
Another move sees Model Shop Manager Vince Todd head to McLaren.
However, according to our sources, one of the biggest shocks will see Mariano Alperin-Bruvera leave Brackley and head to BMW, just over a year after being promoted to the role of Chief Aerodynamicist. This will see the Argentine link up with former Honda aerodynamicist Willem Toet who sensationally quit the Japanese team in January 2006..
Furthermore, according to our sources, team boss Nick Fry has signed a new contract with the Brackley team. However, it is a renewable contract that lasts just three months.
