2007 F1 world champon Kimi Raikkonen’s former race engineer David Greenwood has returned to Formula 1, taking the role of Racing Director at the Enstone-based Alpine team.
Kimi Raikkonen’s former Ferrari race engineer Greenwood has joined Alpine Formula One Team at the beginning of 2025 in the new role of Racing Director.
The British engineer will bring a wealth of experience to the Enstone-based outfit, having played a key part in the title-winning 2005 and 2006 seasons for Renault F1 Team as a trackside engineer. Further race engineering roles followed, and he was later signed by Ferrari to oversee Kimi Räikkönen’s return to the Scuderia, a partnership that placed the Maranello squad as runners-up in the Constructor’s Championship on three occasions.
Advancing into a leadership position, Greenwood was appointed technical director of United Autosports, applying F1-level experience and learnings to the team’s World Endurance Championship challenger, which resulted in class wins at the Le Mans 24 Hours and the WEC Team’s Championship.
Latterly, as Head of Special Projects for Hitech, he assembled and led the project group behind the team’s application for entry into the Formula One World Championship.
