Cosworth lose tech chief Hitzinger
Further blow to engine manufacturer

Sep.27 (GMM) Cosworth's formula one foray took another hit on Wednesday when energy drink Red Bull announced the acquisition of Alex Hitzinger.

The 35-year-old German, who previously was Cosworth's head of development, will in November become technical director for Toro Rosso, the owner of two formula one teams said in a statement.

He will also be 'Head of Advanced Technologies' for Red Bull F1.

Hitzinger joined independent British engine supplier Cosworth, presently without a formula one team partner for 2007 after losing Williams, in 2000.
