Lewis Hamilton’s long-time race engineer Peter Bonnington will not be joining the seven-time champion at Ferrari next season.
Bonnington, who has worked with Hamilton throughout the driver’s 12-year Mercedes career, has been promoted to head of race engineering.
Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur, who ran the team with which Hamilton won the GP2 championship in 2006 before graduating to F1, is close to Hamilton and was instrumental in his joining the team. Hamilton and team principal Toto Wolff will doubtless be asked to address the situation at this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix, which sees the sport resume action after its summer break.
