“The American marque’s latest recruit has an extensive background in F1, starting with Cosworth in 1990 and eventually becoming the chief engineer seven years later. After leaving Cosworth in 2003, White joined Renault as engine technical director in 2004, and quickly climbed the ranks to deputy managing director of its engine operations in Viry. White played a pivotal role in Renault’s success, contributing to both Drivers’ and Constructors’ championships in 2005 and 2006, as well as aiding Red Bull in winning titles between 2010 and 2013. Despite White’s recent departure from Alpine due to restructuring, he has now assumed the position of Chief Operating Officer at Andretti Cadillac, expressing enthusiasm for the challenges ahead. With the recent recruitment of experienced professionals from Renault, Andretti is making significant strides in its preparation for entering the F1 circuit, already bolstered by the launch of its new facility in Silverstone earlier this year, complementing its existing headquarters in Indiana.”
