Norbert Haug stepping down as head of Mercedes motorsport at end of the year

Norbert Haug is to leave his long-held position as the head of Mercedes-Benz motorsport at the end of the month.

Dieter Zetsche, the head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, paid tribute to Haug's achievements over the past two decades. "Norbert Haug was the face of the Mercedes-Benz Motorsport programme for more than 20 years," Zetsche said. "For me, he put his stamp on a whole era and, as a highlight, he was responsible for the successful comeback of the Silver Arrows to Formula 1. In the name of the Board of Management and the whole motorsport family, I would like to thank Norbert for his extraordinary commitment to the three-pointed star."
