Nick Fry remains CEO at Mercedes GP

Nick Fry

(GMM) Contrary to reports, Nick Fry has not left Mercedes GP.

The original internet report has been withdrawn by the website in question, even though it does appear that some restructuring of the former Brawn outfit has taken place in the wake of the takeover by the German carmaker.

Representatives of new shareholders Daimler and Aabar, including Norbert Haug, have joined a new executive committee, with the likes of Fry and Brawn lawyer Caroline McGrory believed to have stepped aside.

But a Mercedes GP spokeswoman said on Tuesday: "I can confirm that Nick Fry remains at the team in the position of chief executive officer."
