Dino Toso stepped down from Renault role

Leading Renault engineer Dino Toso has been shuffled out of his position at the French Formula One team.

With the title `director of aerodynamic technology`, Toso was promoted to lead the Enstone (UK) based team`s new CFD centre just last year.

But in a communique to the press, Renault confirmed that head of aerodynamics Dirk de Beer will now take over from Toso.

“Dino Toso remains an employee of the company and we can not make any further comments on his position at the moment,” Renault said.

Toso joined Renault from Jordan in 2001, before he began a three-year battle with cancer in 2004.
