Stanford is Williams manager again

Former Williams team manager Dickie Stanford is to resume his old position from next month, with incumbent Tim Newton returning to a factory based position.

Stanford is present at the German Grand Prix to work alongside Newton, and he will do the same again at next weekend's race in Hungary before taking over full responsibility from the Belgian GP.

Newton, who has been team manager for five years, will become Williams' Production General Manager with direct responsibility for the race team.

Stanford is a Williams stalwart, and was team manager from 1994 until 2005 - when he took a factory role before returning to a track job as test team manager.
