The Arrows team has announced today that Sergio Rinland has joined the team as Chief Designer.
The highly-rated Argentinian has worked with many teams in F1 from 1986 in Williams, Dallara and Brabham, where he stayed until 1992. In 1996, he was joined Benetton where he stayed until 1999. He then went to Sauber and was in charge of the design of this year’s impressive Sauber C20. Nick Heidfeld and Kimi Raikkonen gathered plenty of points with this superb car.
Tom Walkinshaw commented: "We're very pleased to welcome Sergio to the OrangeArrows team. Next year's car, the A23 is at a critical stage so Sergio's input will help us to achieve our targets. We have a deal with Premier Performance Division and Cosworth next year which will give us the power we need to compete and now we have a strengthened design team so we are doing everything we can to continue to improve our performance."
Sergio Rinland takes up his position with immediate effect.
