Stepney to Jaguar?

NIGEL STEPNEY, the director of racing at Ferrari, is expected to be announced soon in a new role at Jaguar Racing. Stepney has been rumored to be on the way to Jaguar for most of the year but he has constantly refused to say what he is planning to do after he leaves Ferrari

Stepney is not the only one of those who fulfil the role of old-fashioned team managers who is in demand at the moment. With teams becoming more and more corporate in nature there is a premium on experience in the sport and so the handful of those who are capable of running teams are becoming increasingly valuable.
