HONDA RACING F1 TEAM APPOINTS ALPERIN-BRUVERA AS CHIEF AERODYNAMICIST
As the Honda Racing F1 Team prepares for the final commissioning
of its new state of the art wind tunnel, it is pleased to
confirm that Mariano Alperin-Bruvera has been promoted to
the position of Chief Aerodynamicist.
With building work on the new full scale tunnel nearing completion,
Mariano will now lead the efforts of a significantly expanded
team of aerodynamicists, designers, technicians and modelmakers
at the Brackley Operations Centre in the UK, which works alongside
a similar group at the Dome facility in Japan.
The 40 year old Argentinian joined the team at its inception
in 1998 as a Senior Aerodynamicist. Prior to that, he held
aerodynamicist positions with AGS France, Lamborghini and
Fondmetal. He then moved to the Durango F3000 team before
returning to Formula One for a four year spell with the former
Minardi team.
Geoffrey Willis, Technical Director of the Honda
Racing F1 Team,
commented: "Mariano Alperin-Bruvera has been
part of this team since the beginning and a key player in
its progress to date. His new role will see him step up from
head of one of our two aero development groups to a position
of overall aerodynamic leadership. I have every confidence
that in the position of Chief Aerodynamicist, Mariano will
continue to play a pivotal role in our team's pursuit of its
championship ambitions."
Commenting on his new position, Mariano Alperin-Bruvera
said: "I'm very proud to be given this opportunity
to lead what I believe to be one of the strongest and most
talented aerodynamics teams in Formula One. Our new wind tunnel
represents a new technological step in aerodynamic research
and I'm confident that there are some very exciting times
ahead of us."
