Williams has confirmed Paddy Lowe, who has been on a leave of absence since March 5, has now left the team and stepped down from the board of directors.

On Tuesday, it was confirmed Lowe, who joined from Mercedes in 2017, has left with immediate effect.
"After a period of careful reflection I have reached the decision that I will not return to work at Williams," Lowe said in a statement.
