Honda confirms Zander appointment
Recruitment drive continues

Jul.10 (GMM) The identity of Honda's latest high profile technical appointment has now emerged -- BMW-Sauber chief designer Jorg Zander.

The 43-year-old, who previously worked with Honda between 2002-2005 before switching to Williams, will support Shuhei Nakamoto as deputy technical director, the Japanese team announced in a statement on Tuesday.

At Williams, Honda said Zander "enjoyed a successful partnership with Loic Bigois", who also recently joined Honda to be its new head of aerodynamics.

"This is the latest in a series of key appointments that we have made in order to bolster our team," said Nakamoto.

"With the steady performance improvements we have made over the past few races and a strengthened technical team, I am sure that the difficulties we have seen in the first half of 2007 are now behind us."

Williams' Francois Martinet is another recent appointment, as is BMW's John Owen.
