Lowe's role with Mercedes still under speculation

McLaren’s former technical director, Paddy Lowe, has announced ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, that he is all set join the Mercedes team on 3^rd June.

Though it is widely accepted that he will reprise his role as the Technical Executive Director, his exact line of work is yet to be defined.

“Obviously Paddy joining early is a bonus, so I wouldn’t say we’ve fine-tuned his insertion in to the group yet,” Brawn told ESPNF1. “Once he’s joined that will be a discussion between myself and Bob and Paddy to find the best way of using Paddy immediately and the best way to use him in the long term.”

Ross Brawn, who will continue in his position as the team boss at Mercedes, speculated that Lowe’s work might be three fold; as in, he will be involved in improving this year’s car, helping towards next season and also the challenger that Mercedes will race in 2015.

“As I say, it is a bonus because this is a particularly challenging time with the 2014 car we want to get started – believe it or not – on the 2015 car and it is a period when all of our resources are being used and stretched to the limit.”
