Apr.19 (GMM) Ferrari has bolstered its aerodynamic team by hiring a former Red Bull team member.
Italy’s Omnicorse, and Marca in Spain, are reporting that Briton Ben Agathangelou has been signed by the famous Maranello based team, who in 2012 are struggling notably in the area of aerodynamics.
Omnicorse said he was the choice of technical director Pat Fry, who worked with Agathangelou at McLaren.
The report said one of his tasks will be integrating Ferrari’s in-house wind tunnel activites with the outsourcing at Toyota’s state of the art facility at Cologne.
Among Agathangelou’s most recent jobs was with Dallara on the HRT project. He has also worked with Benetton, Jaguar, Honda and Brawn GP.
