Sarre leaves Supercars for Lando Norris' new F2 team

French mechanic Sarre, who joined Blanchard Racing Team as a number two mechanic at the start of last year, is leaving Supercars early to join LN4 Fusion, the team Lando Norris is building. He will work alongside Rene Rosin, consultant and team principal, and Guillaume Capietto, racing director, both formerly of Prema.

Sarre said the opportunity was too good to refuse. He hopes to eventually become a crew chief or team manager in top-level motorsport. He will remain a number two mechanic, though his role will differ, as in formula cars the second mechanic looks after the cockpit and front end rather than working under the first mechanic as in Supercars.

Sarre arrived in Australia barely speaking English and, among his fondest memories, cites representing BRT on the Super2 podium at Bathurst.
