Mercedes' engine boss Andy Cowell -- one of the key individuals behind the brand's success in Formula One -- will leave his role at the end of the month, prompting a restructure of the management at the team's engine department.
Cowell is currently the managing director of Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains (HPP), whose engines have powered Lewis Hamilton to all six of his world titles and the team to six consecutive constructor's titles in the last six years. He informed the team in January that he would leave his position, prompting a restructure at the top of HPP -- which also supplies engines to Mercedes' Formula E team and its Project One road car -- that will be rolled out from July 1 onwards.
