Haas have appointed Laura Mueller as the first woman race engineer in Formula One as part of a shake-up of their race operations team. The German will work with newly recruited driver Esteban Ocon while another woman, Carine Cridelich, is set to join as head of strategy from Red Bull's Racing Bulls team. US-based Haas are seeking to build on last season's seventh-placed finish in the constructors' championship with a new drivers' line-up that features Ocon and Oliver Bearman. Mueller has been promoted from her role as performance engineer.
