Willis leaves Red Bull

Interesting that 'A team spokeswoman said that Willis had left the team as "his job had become redundant"'. Did they aim to have two 1-2 finishes in a season, they've done that so now he's off?

Geoffrey "Geoff" Willis (born December 23, 1959) was the Technical Director of the Red Bull Formula One team ( his last F1 job ).
Prior to working for Honda, Willis was employed as chief aerodynamicist by the Williams Formula One team and also worked as a consultant at the Leyton House team in the early 1990s. While at Leyton House, Willis met Adrian Newey and it was through this association that he joined Williams, after Newey was recruited by the British team. When Newey moved to rival McLaren in 1996 Willis was promoted, alongside Gavin Fisher, to take his role.
Willis joined the British American Racing outfit in 2001, which was later bought by Honda in 2005. His status within the team became unclear as of 22 June 2006, following the appointment of Shuhei Nakamoto as Senior Technical Director. Willis had been told to stop going to races in order to focus on aerodynamics, which appeared to conflict with the appointment of Mariano Alperin-Bruvera to head the aerodynamics group using Honda's new full-size wind tunnel. Willis eventually left the team later in the year. On July 17, 2007, Willis was hired by Red Bull Racing as the team's Technical Director, once again under Newey.[1] He left Red Bull on July 2009 for unknown reasons - interestigly just after when Red Bull car became the quickest of F1 field.
Maybe him and Gascoigne are opening up a Landscaping business.Prior to working for Honda, Willis was employed as chief aerodynamicist by the Williams Formula One team and also worked as a consultant at the Leyton House team in the early 1990s.
