Williams assume l'ex COO di McLaren Piers Thynne

Williams ha annunciato la nomina di Piers Thynne come figura chiave; l'ex direttore operativo di McLaren si unirà al team ad agosto. La decisione rientra in un più ampio sforzo volto a rafforzare la scuderia di Grove, reduce da recenti difficoltà.

La scorsa settimana Williams ha confermato l'ingaggio di Thynne insieme ad altre figure senior provenienti da Mercedes e Alpine. Thynne ha iniziato la sua carriera in McLaren alla fine degli anni 2000, ricoprendo ruoli quali responsabile della gestione dei programmi e direttore operativo, prima di diventare chief operating officer dal 2023 al 2025. Ha contribuito alla rinascita del team, passato dal nono posto nel campionato costruttori del 2017 alla conquista dei titoli mondiali nel 2024 e 2025.
