Silver Arrows have tied down their technical director ahead of a major rule change in 2026
MERCEDES have followed up Toto Wolff’s new three-year deal by signing technical director James Allison to a new long-term contract.
Wolff, who is three-way owner of the team along with Mercedes-Benz and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has recently committed his future to the team.
And now the Silver Arrows have moved to tie-down his chief designer ahead of another major rule change planned for 2026.
Wolff said: “I am thrilled that James has committed his long-term future to the team.
“Put simply, he is the most impressive technical leader in our sport.
“His gladiator spirit, along with his knowledge, experience, and determination, make him second-to-none. His influence and impact, however, goes so much further than that.
“Since joining in 2017, he has been a key ally and sparring partner for me personally.
“We can challenge each other openly and honestly; an embodiment of the ‘tough love’ culture of the team that is vital in helping us all perform at our very best.
“Most importantly though, James is a true friend you can rely on, not only in times of success but in difficult moments too.
“It has been a pleasure to work with him over the past seven years and I look forward to doing so for many more to come.”
