British aero man joins Ferrari

January 11, 2013

Ferrari has added a Briton to its ranks.

Autosprint reports that Ferrari has signed Martin Bester to its F1 ranks.

The Briton’s last post was as Williams’ aerodynamics team leader. He has also worked for BMW and McLaren’s F1 teams.

Acknowledging its aerodynamic weaknesses, the Italian team last year signed well-known F1 aerodynamicist Loic Bigois to switch from Mercedes.

Prior to working at Mercedes, chief aerodynamicist Bigois worked alongside Bester at Williams, the Italian magazine added.

Ferrari is currently developing its 2013 car, probably to be called the F2013, in Toyota’s state-of-the-art Cologne wind tunnel, while the Maranello facility is closed and improved.
