Symonds linked with Williams

Former Renault chief engineer Pat Symonds is being linked with Williams while Pat Fry, who recently left McLaren, is wanted by a host of teams

According to Italy's Autosprint magazine, Symonds is being lined up for a consultancy role with Williams following his out of court settlement with the FIA.

Even though his agreement with motor sport's governing body states that he is banned from having a direct operational role in F1 until 2013, he is allowed to act as a consultant and the Grove-based team are keen to make use of his expertise for the design of the FW33 for 2011.

Another man who is on the move is former McLaren chief engineer Fry.

The 46-year-old Fry, who was with McLaren for almost 20 years before quitting recently, is reportedly a wanted man.

Autosprint says he is set to team up with Ross Brawn at Mercedes GP while Finland's Turun Sanomat claims Force India, Red Bull and Toro Rosso are all interested in his services.
