Alpine, aerodynamicist Jason Somerville arrives from the FIA

Alpine, here is Somerville Alpine will soon strengthen its technical department. The French team is preparing to welcome Jason Somerville into its workforce: the British engineer, who is leaving the FIA, will take on an important role in the Enstone team, as we learn from the British colleagues at RacingNews365. Somerville, whose official announcement of his arrival in Alpine is expected in the next few days, leaves the Federation after four years as head of aerodynamics. Previously, from 2017 to 2022, he had held the same position for Formula 1. “Today is my last day in the FIA! A huge thank you to my colleagues at the Federation, our technical partners and the representatives of FOM and the F1 teams who have made these last four years so fascinating, fun and inspiring! Tomorrow begins a new chapter…”, commented Somerville on his LinkedIn profile. Before arriving in the “button rooms” of the Circus, Somerville had gained extensive experience in teams. His last presence in a team dates back to 2017, when the relationship with Williams ended: in the historic Grove team he was head of aerodynamics for six years. Now Somerville returns to Enstone, which he left in August 2011, after a year and eight months spent at Lotus.
