INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Mere hours after Formula 1’s chief technical officer said he was leaving after seven years in the role, Andretti Cadillac said it had hired him as its executive engineering consultant.
Pat Symonds is not eligible to begin working for Andretti until his non-compete clause period — called “gardening leave” in the United Kingdom — is completed with Formula One Management. His leave began immediately with Tuesday’s announcements.
“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Pat to the Andretti family,” said Andretti Global Chairman & CEO Michael Andretti. “Pat’s keen understanding of aerodynamics, vehicle dynamics and Formula 1 power units will be instrumental as we continue to build a competitive team.
“I believe his expertise has been pivotal in shaping the narrative of Formula 1 and his vote of confidence in joining our effort speaks volumes. I’m really happy with this next step as our work continues at pace.”
