Lewis Hamilton will be joined by Paddy Lowe at Mercedes six months early after ditching McLaren

One of Formula One's worst-kept secrets this season has today finally come to fruition with news Paddy Lowe is to join Mercedes.

Lowe was released from his role as technical director at McLaren at the start of the year amid rumours he would be making the switch from Woking to Brackley.

It was initially anticipated Lowe would be unable to begin work with Mercedes until the start of next year, but in taking up the position of executive director (technical), it has been confirmed he will now join the team on June 3.

Lowe said: 'I am excited to become part of a highly talented and capable technical organisation.

'The team has already produced probably the fastest car of the 2013 season, while the technical challenges of the new regulations for 2014 will give us the opportunity to maximise the synergies available to a works manufacturer. That is a challenge I am relishing.

'I have worked closely with Mercedes-Benz for almost 20 years and deeply admire the company's phenomenal commitment to Formula One.

'I look forward to much success together in the years ahead.'

Tough task: Lowe has his work cut out to get Mercedes to the top of the pecking order

Lowe will work alongside team principal Ross Brawn and motorsport director Toto Wolff, and joins a highly-skilled technical team that already includes Bob Bell, Geoff Willis and Aldo Costa.

In welcoming Lowe to Mercedes, Brawn said: 'He has an excellent record of success in the sport and would be an asset to any of our rivals in the pit lane.

'It is no secret every team is facing a significant balancing act between this year and next.

'But it is perhaps less obvious we will also see major changes for the 2015 and 2016 seasons as development progresses with the new generation of car design and power unit.

'To deliver in these circumstances, a successful team needs strength in depth.

'Paddy's arrival will further strengthen our organisation and puts us in a strong position for the future.'

Lowe's arrival will assist Mercedes ahead of the significant change in engine regulations for next season, with turbo-charged 1.6-litre V6 power units replacing the current 2.4-litre V8s.
