Claire Williams promotes the new technical director with flying colors Pat symonds took over last August in place of Mike Coughlan, according to the vice team principal a real driving force who allowed the team to scrape together those few points achieved in the difficult 2013 just ended.

“We are very happy with what he has done in recent months – he told Autosport – He is very thoughtful, with him there is never panic or stress. He really gives the idea of ​​a person who knows what he's doing. He takes his time, evaluates, analyzes and then decides. He is a mentor who however knows how to listen to everyone's opinions, a very important aspect because in this profession it is essential to find someone with whom you can compare yourself rather than just seeing fists slammed on the table. In my opinion it's what we needed and makes us particularly enthusiastic about next season."
