F1: Former Ferrari technical boss joins Manor Racing

Former Ferrari technical boss Pat Fry has joined Manor Racing as an engineering consultant.

Fry will be reunited with new Manor chief aerodynamicist Nikolas Tombazis. The departure of both engineers was announced by Ferrari in December 2014.

The 51-year-old previously worked at Benetton and McLaren in senior engineering roles, before joining Ferrari in 2010.

"We are extremely fortunate to have Pat on board to help us hit the ground running with our exciting new technical package," former McLaren colleague and Manor Racing director Dave Ryan said.

"The aim is to bring performance to the car with effect from the Barcelona tests, then translate that to the race track in Melbourne, to ensure we make the strongest possible start to 2016 and have a good basis for development in the early part of the season."
