Change of personnel
He tells Sergio Perez where to go in Zandvoort
Normally, it is Hugh Bird who communicates the strategies to Sergio Perez by radio during the races. For the upcoming Dutch Grand Prix, however, the Mexican will have a new race engineer. The reason is a happy one.
Bird and his wife became parents during the summer break, so the Englishman is taking paternity leave. He will be replaced by compatriot Richard Wood, although Bird will still be on site at Zandvoort to ensure that the collaboration between driver and race engineer really works in the following races.
Previously, Wood worked as a performance engineer in Milton Keynes, where he has been working on the performance of the Red Bull racing car for eleven years. His role has now been taken over by simulation specialist Richard Cooke.
Lagging behind in the world championship
