Pat Fry is to start work at Renault as their new chassis technical director on 5 February.
Fry has spent most of his career at McLaren, joining them in 1993 and rising to a role leading car design under technical director Paddy Lowe until he left the team in 2010 to join Ferrari.
Joining Renault marks a return to his roots for Fry, who started his F1 career with what was then called the Benetton team in 1987 and stayed there until 1993, when he joined McLaren.
