Morvannec F1 Press Release

Morvannec F1 Team Press Release
Team Principle - Elof Valantor

Morvannec F1 has made changes to it's Staff line up with immediate effect. The positions of Lead Researcher and Lead Developer have been reassessed and team principle Elof Valantor has decided not to renew Van Schneider's and Bernardo Todd's contracts with the team. Elof Valantor had this to say on the matter.

"It came time to decide whether or not to renew employee contracts. Upon reassessment within the team I felt it necessary to seek new people for the positions of Lead Researcher and Lead Developer. Both Van Schneider and Bernardo Todd have accepted this and are looking forward to furthering their careers elsewhere in motor sport. I am not inclined to go into details about why it was necessary."

The position of Lead Researcher has been taken over by the experienced and highly rated Hipolito Simpson. Some figures within the paddock question the sensibility of changing such an important position during a current season. When this was put to Elof Valantor this was his response.

"Honestly I don't see how that point of view works. A change to the research department would be better early in the season before next years car concepts are finalized, and so this change is actually quite sensible, even advantageous as now the input from two highly talented designers will have gone into the concept research for the MF1-15a."

The position of Lead Developer has been handed to a new designer to F1, Leonard March. Again some sections of the paddock are voicing surprise at this appointment, and again Elof Valantor addresses his thinking on this decision.

"I can see how people might question this choice of new Lead Developer. Leonard is new to F1 and obviously lacks the experience of veteran designers. However, based on the internal structure of the team development isn't an area that requires massive amounts of experience. Currently, and for the foreseeable future, hiring on new talent is a good way for Morvannec F1 to advance it's development department."

Morvannec F1 is also pleased to announce that existing Commercial Manager and Chief Mechanic Morgan Roy and Rodrick Kahn will be with the team for another year after extending their contracts with the team.
