Force India recruits technical staff
5th December 2007
The Silverstone, UK based Force India Formula One team has appointed Mark Smith as its new design director and hired Ian Hall as the project leader for its 2009 F1 car.
Smith and Hall both previously worked for the team when it raced under the Jordan Grand Prix banner. Smith was most recently with the Milton Keynes, UK based Red Bull Racing Formula One team while Hall joins from the Cologne, Germany based Toyota Motorsport F1 organisation.
Force India chief technical officer Mike Gascoyne said, 'It's great to have Mark and Ian back with the team, especially as both were instrumental in the successful Jordan era of 1999. I have worked with both since then, with Mark at Renault and Ian at Toyota, and I am sure that they will fit very well into the new structure. With James and Mark I think we have a strong top management structure and I look forward to challenging the teams above us on the grid.
'The reorganisation comes at the same time the wind tunnel at Brackley has finished its commissioning process and is due to switch to 24 hour running. With these advantages we now have a great chance to expand our operations and I am confident we can move up the field very quickly next year.'
