Mercedes is saying goodbye to Milner, who in recent years served as Chief Engineer Research and Development. Previously, he was Lead Powertrain Engineer and Head of Powertrain Integration and Transmission Design, roles in which he was involved in the development and integration of the powertrain.

“I recently started a period of gardening leave as I wrap up fourteen fantastic years with the Mercedes AMG F1 Team. Later this year I’ll begin a new role, and I look forward to sharing more about that in the coming months,” Milner wrote on his LinkedIn page.

“Until then, it’s time to catch my breath after so many years in a fast, non-stop environment. It will be a new experience to watch the cars head out on track from the couch,” he continued. “My sincere thanks go to the brilliant people I had the privilege of working with every day and from whom I learned a great deal. It’s been an incredible journey.”
