Alpine Academy director Julian Rouse was named as Permane's interim replacement while Matt Harman leads the technical team at Enstone. Rossi warned in May he would make changes if performances did not improve, and said the buck stopped with Szafnauer. Williams said Fry, who has had senior roles at both McLaren and Ferrari, will start work on Nov. 1. "His knowledge and experience will further strengthen the team's technical capabilities and pursuit of excellence as we build the next chapter of Williams," said principal James Vowles.

April 26 (Reuters) - Formula One is braced for chaos on the streets of Baku this weekend as Azerbaijan hosts the first sprint race of the season and kicks off a run of five grands prix in six weeks. "It’s absolutely ludicrous to be doing the first sprint race of the year in a street race like Azerbaijan," Red Bull boss Christian Horner told reporters at the previous race in Australia. Verstappen won last year. "We are bringing a new floor to Baku amongst some other aerodynamic and mechanical items," said Alpine technical director Matt Harman. "We then have a further development at the following race in Miami and something further for Imola after that."
