Fernando Alonso's race engineer at Renault F1, Rod Nelson, will be working for the Williams F1 team in 2007 revealed a source close to Renault, exclusively to F1Racing.net. Rod Nelson joined the Benetton Formula 1 team back in 1997 and has since been working his way up there. In 2006 Nelson was Fernando Alonso's race engineer. At Nelson's side Alonso clinched the drivers' title while Renault won the constructors' championship.
In 2007 Fernando Alonso will be racing for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, and thus Renault have had to re-organise. Nelson could have worked with Giancarlo Fisichella or have started a new challenge with Heikki Kovalainen. But as things stand Nelson will either be working with Nico Rosberg or Alexander Wurz at Williams.
At the time of writing Renault was unavailable for comments.
