Williams F1 Team has bolstered its senior race operations line-up as it prepares for the 2014 Formula 1 World Championship season, with the appointments of Rob Smedley and Richard Lockwood.

Frank Williams' team welcomes Rob Smedley as Head of Vehicle Performance, a newly created position which will strengthen the trackside team whilst also supporting the development work back at the factory to help bring more performance to the car throughout the season.

The Briton will be supported by Race Engineers Andrew Murdoch, who is engineer to Felipe Massa, and Jonathan Eddolls, who remains with Valtteri Bottas in 2014.

Richard Lockwood completes the trackside operation line-up, joining the team from Marussia as Head of Race Strategy. Lockwood will work with current Strategist Randeep Singh who remains with the team for the 2014 season.
