Default Zander to BMW

...who came up with the ugly and abandoned Walrass nose on the previous BWM Williams?

[QUOTE]BMW sign Zander as new chief designer
Tuesday, April 25th 2006, 09:26 GMT

The BMW Sauber team have signed German Jorg Zander as their new chief designer, the Formula One squad announced on Tuesday. Zander will take full responsibility for the design of the team's racing car starting next July, and he will report to technical director Willy Rampf. "The development of the BMW Sauber F1 team continues to move forward, and that includes adding a chief designer to our staff line-up," said BMW motorsport boss Mario Theissen.

Antonia Terzi, the aerodynamicist who introduced the walrus nose at Williams, was still working for Ferrari in 2001. Now she works for neither.

nope.

he did nothing for Toyota..

He's one of those designers who's yet to get the "perfect design" or bond well with a chief aerodynamicist, to catapult him to the Byrne, Gascoyne, or Tim Densham (renault) level.

but he comes cheaper that many , so why not.

only time will tell how he gets on with Willy and Mario..

no doubt he'll start working on the 2007 car on bridgestones..
