The Sauber team has confirmed that Willem Toet will return to the outfit in his original role as head of aerodynamics.
The Dutchman held the role with the team between 2006 and 2009, but left following the departure of BMW – he voluntarily vacated his position due to sweeping staff cuts.
Toet will replace Seamus Mullarkey who requested a change of position. He will be in charge of aerodynamic research from November 14th.
“The British engineer favours more technical and less management-oriented assignments and will be in charge of Aerodynamic Research,” read a statement.
The 59-year-old started his career in Formula 1 in 1985 with the Toleman team, which later became Benetton. At the end of 1994 he joined Ferrari and spent four years in Italy as their aerodynamics chief. He returned to England in 1999 to become senior aerodynamicist at British American Racing.
