DPI have signed one of the top British Chief Engineers in Formula 1.

Andrew West has signed for the British team who can boast to have only British employees on board! West stands along with Commercial Manager Carlie Shaw, Chief Designer Matthew Smith and of course Managing Director of DPI, Daniel J. Prescott.

The deal with West is rumoured to be another large one, in the region of £150,000 per month & last for at least 2 years! This comes after DPI were rumoured to have spent a similarly large amount on their Chief Designer [Smith]. However, such a move could pay dividends in the future, as the team will undoubtably have one of the strongest technical line-ups in Formula 1.
