The BMW Sauber F1 team has announced the restructuring of its management, following the purchase of the team by Peter Sauber near the end of last year.

Peter Sauber is now the President of the board of directors, but will not have any operational duties at the team’s Hinwil base. This will be left with the management in Hinwil.

His son, Alex, is now in charge of the marketing department. He previously worked in Neue Grasshopper Fussball AG, a Swiss football team.

Willy Rampf remains as technical director. Urs Jampen returns to the role of finance director after 18 months. Jurg Flach is now the director of operations, with overall responsibility of production. Monisha Kaltenborn is the new managing director, who has been promoted from Head of Legal Affairs.

When asked about the reorganisation, Peter Sauber said:

“Formula 1 is constantly changing.This division of responsibilities not only meets the demands of the sport, but also freshens things up within the company. I will keep myself informed on all important developments, but will leave operational matters to the management in Hinwil.”
